The Division of Aeronautics requires the completion <br /> of a one page farm with a sketch of the airport 'on the reverse side. The plan <br /> is checked for jetbacks from the nearest state maintained highways. The <br /> requirement is at least a 500 foot setback from the end of the runway and 150 <br /> foot setback from state reads paralled to the runway. The FAA also requires <br /> submission of a*e page form and reviews the proposal from an airspace stand- <br /> point. The nearest airport of any size is Horace Williams Airport and its <br /> airspace would not extend anywhere near the proposed site. These two approvals <br /> generally take less than 30 days. It is not known whether the developers of <br /> this proposed facility have applied for these two permits. <br /> The proposed Midway Airport will also require three local permits. A <br /> building permit cannot be issued until a grading permit and health department <br /> improvements permit are issued. <br /> A Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan for Midway Airport was submitted <br /> on Thursday, September 18, 1980. The S & E Department has 30 days to review the <br /> plan. At the e0d of this 30 day review period, the plan is either approved and <br /> a grading permit issued, or the S & E Departm6nt cdn require that additional <br /> information, moaifications or revisions be incorporated into the original plan. <br /> If the latter occurs, the S & E Department has another 30 days period to review <br /> the revised plan from the day it is resubmitted. <br /> To this date, a satisfactory plan has not been presented to the S & E Office, <br /> although several revised plans have been submitted. This S'& E Plan„ as with <br /> any other S & E;Plan, must follow our Guide for Developing Soil Erosion and <br /> Sediment Control Plans. Since this is a large scale project, several complicated <br /> sediment controiis will be required. <br /> I <br />
