Hi....I spent most of the morning talking to various Community Club people
concerning the future of our flying field as well as possibilities of adding an
East West runway. Here's what I've been able to determine:
First, there is very little chance that we will be able to add another runway
at this point. The Utilities Department simply does not want to give up anymore
current or future possible dumping area. Second, the chance of paving the
current runway is very slim, but could be possible in the future when the EPA
determines that the soil can no longer handle further sludge dumping. At that
point, the land would be closed to any building or development for 30 years or
more. That also closes the current sludge area to us as well, so even then we
could not expand. Some positive news is that we are in no danger of losing the
current field due to EPA rules demanding an open area between the road and the
sludge field. I do feel that we could improve our pavilion , ramps, tables or
storage building if we wanted to without protest. I'm sure that most of this
information is already know by MOST of our club. However, I thought it best to
go ahead and verify this information in order to satisfy a bunch of recent
questions by a few members. Thanks, Jim
