NAO-2024-02816 (USFWS - Chincoteague NWR, Chincoteague, Virginia)

Expiration date: 3/3/2025

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) Beach Parking Relocation project is designed to relocate infrastructure and facilities needed to support the recreational beach including parking, access road, and facilities. The current recreational beach and parking lots have experienced severe damage over the years due to strong winds, waves, and storm surges in conjunction with high tides. Destruction of the existing recreational beach and parking lots is expected to reoccur on a regular basis in the future and more frequently. Therefore, to continue providing recreational beach access to visitors, relocation of the recreational beach is recommended. Comments should be received by the close of business on March 3, 2025.
