Re: Proposed Runway 5U23R, Proposed New Overnight Express Air Cargo Sorting and Distribution Facility, and
Associated Developments at Piedmont Triad International Airport; USACE Action ID. No. 200021655
Dear Mr. Elmore:
On October 9, 2002, the Water Quality Committee of the NC Environmental Management Commission issued a Major
Variance to the Water Supply Watershed Protection Rules for the Proposed Runway 5U23R, Proposed New Overnight
Express Air Cargo Sorting and Distribution Facility, and Associated Developments at Piedmont Triad International Airport.
Issues related to your application for a 401 Water Quality Certification with respect to this Variance have been sufficiently
addressed at this time. We have been informed that an appeal to this decision has been filed with the Guilford County
Superior Court and we are awaiting the results of this appeal
We understand that the LawGibb Group and EcoScience, along your attorney Mr. Glenn Dunn, are currently preparing
an analysis of cumulative impacts to be associated with this project in order to meet the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H
.0506(b)(4) and (c)(4). Until this matter is resolved, I will request (by copy of this letter) that the Corps of Engineers keep
this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on hold for our processing due to incomplete information (15A NCAC
2H .0507(h)).
Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions, please contact Cyndi Karoly in our Central Office in Raleigh at
[phone].
Sincerely,
pohnorney
