Subject Property: Johnston County Airport Extended Runway Safety Area
Dear Ms. Manuele:
On behalf of the NC DWQ 410/Wetlands Permitting Unit, and in light of the most recent correspondence
from the applicant for the proposed project dated May 15, 2009,we respectfully request that you consider
the following comments within your review of the 404 Individual Permit request for the above referenced
property:
1. Please explain how your stated"need" is for"larger planes"to be accommodated(sic), and
increased business aircraft? What is your stated purpose for the project?
2. The Nature of Activity section from your project narrative description details that the fill slopes
will be at a 4:1 ratio. This Office believes these slopes can be steepened to a 3:1 ratio or greater
to reduce fill impacts, but still allow for maintenance and mowing. Please provide revised impact
estimates and drawings based on 3:1 fill slopes.
Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions, please contact Ian McMillan or me in our Central
Office in Raleigh at(919)733-1786.
Sincerely,
C ndi Karoly, Supervisor
