DAMES POINT MARINE TERMINAL - Jacksonville, Florida Harbour Facility

DAMES POINT MARINE TERMINAL is a harbour facility located at 9834 NEW BERLIN RD, Jacksonville, Florida, United States. The terminal is operational and serves the marine cargo sector, handling various cargo types typical of a regional port facility. Its location on the St. Johns River provides access to the Atlantic Ocean, supporting both domestic and international shipping. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including the US EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP) and NPDES permits for shoreside operations. As a marine terminal, it manages stormwater runoff and oil-water separation to comply with environmental standards. The NAICS codes 488310 (Port and Harbor Operations) and 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling) indicate its role in cargo transfer and port services. Environmental considerations include proximity to coastal habitats and the need for effective stormwater management to protect local water quality. The terminal's operations contribute to the regional economy by facilitating trade through the Port of Jacksonville, a major hub for container and bulk cargo in the southeastern United States.

The terminal is situated on the St. Johns River near the Atlantic coast, an area with sensitive estuarine habitats. Stormwater runoff from cargo handling areas and potential oil spills from vessels are key environmental concerns. The facility must comply with US EPA regulations for stormwater management and oil spill prevention to minimize impacts on local aquatic ecosystems.
