USE THIS PAGE TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS THAT WOULD NOT FIT IN BLOCKS 4 AND/OR 5.
PURPOSE AND NEED FOR ACTION
Trees need to be cut on a 6.5-acre site off the west end of the runway, adjacent to the Neuse River, to allow for flight safety
(Attachment 1). Many trees have reached a height where they are encroaching into the SJAFB Approach -Departure Clearance
Surface as described in Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-260-01, Airfield and Heliport Planning and Design (Attachment 2). SJAFB
possesses easements for the subject property that declare, "The United States of America shall have the right to top, cut to ground
level, and to remove trees, shrubs, brush, or other forms of obstruction which the Commanding Officer of Seymour Johnson Air Force
Base determines might interfere with the operation of aircraft, including emergency landings" (Attachment 3).
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION AND ALTERNATIVE
Trees and brush will be cut and remain on site. Stumps and ground cover will remain in place with no grubbing. In order to reduce the
frequency of this required maintenance work, the proposed action would cut "violator trees" to just above ground level. Vegetation will
be allowed regrow until it reaches a height that requires repeated removal. Trees within 50-foot riparian buffer will be cut with
chainsaws, while areas outside the buffer zone will be cut with forestry mowing equipment such as tractor -mounted brush cutters.
This activity on this property has been previously reviewed and approved by the NC Division of Water Quality (Attachment 4). SJAFB
will obtain a new 5-year authorization from the Division of Water Quality prior to initiating tree removal.

Approach -Departure Clearance Surface (Slope)
See attached figure for explanation
Obstacle —An existing object, natural growth, or terrain, at a fixed geographical
location, or which may be expected at a fixed location within a prescribed area, with
reference to which vertical clearance is or must be provided during flight operations.
Fixed Obstacles include man-made or natural features such as buildings, trees, rocks and
terrain irregularities and any other features constituting possible hazards to moving
aircraft.
3-12.3.3 Type III Clear Zone.
Obiects in this zone will not penetrate the approach -departure clearance surface. Trees,
shrubs, bushes, or any other natural growth will be topped 3 m (70 ft) below the
approach -departure clearance surface or to a lesser height if necessary to ensure the
visibility of airfield lighting.
3 -16.3 Trees.
All trees within the runway, taxiway and apron lateral clearance distances and within the
graded area of the clear zone need to be removed. Trees that project into the ima_ ig nary
surfaces must be removed or lowered to a distance below the imaginary surface, as
specified in Table 3-8. Trees are permitted near an airfield provided that they do not
cause Bird Aircraft Strike Hazards (BASH), penetrate the imaginary surfaces, the taxiway
clearance distance, the apron clearance distance, or instrument procedure obstacle
identification surfaces.

Dear Ms. Chapman
In reference to the attached letter signed by Mr. Alan Klimek, dated 21 Jul 2004, to cut and maintain the
vegetation along the affected sections of the Neuse River riparian buffer in an area directly adjacent to the
West end of the runway at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro NC (Wayne County). The
original approval was for 3.17 acres along the Neuse River. Since that request two additional areas have
been identified as blue line streams. These areas include a small pond that leads into a longer drainage
canal and are identified in Attachment 2.
The tree removal is necessary to ensure flight safety_ Over time, the trees have grown into the
Approach -Departure Clearance Surface. The plan is still to cut the trees and shrubs leaving all stumps in
the ground. No grubbing will occur. Future plans are to allow for natural regrowth, until the vegetation
reaches a height requiring repeated removal.
We ask your concurrence with the proposed tree removal in the riparian buffer of the pond and two blue
line streams as an exempt action.
If you need further information, please call Darlene Varani at [phone].

Dear Mr. Domey
The US Air Force proposes to remove the trees in an area directly adjacent to the west end of
the runway at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, NC (Wayne County). The tree
removal in this area is necessary to ensure flight safety. Over time, the trees have grown into the
Approach -Departure Clearance Surface as indicated in the Overrun Fill Profile and Overrun Cut
Profile in Attachment 1 (Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-260-01 Airfield and Heliport
Planning and Design).
The area proposed for cutting is partially located within the Neuse River riparian buffer zone
(Attachment 2). The US Air Force maintains an easement with the City of Goldsboro, the owner
of part of the property to be cut This easement (Attachment 3) allows for tree removal, topping
trees or cutting trees to ground level in the entire area (Paragraph No. 6). This easement is dated
28 February 1979, and therefore represents an existing use of the area.
The US Air Force proposes to cut the trees and shrubs, but leave all stumps in the ground. -No
grubbing would occur. Future plans are to allow for natural regrowth until the vegetation
reaches a height that requires repeated removal.
We would like to inform you of the proposed action and ask your concurrence with the
proposed tree removal in the riparian buffer zone of the Neuse River as an exempt action.
