Hazleton Avenue <br /> Stockton,CA 95205 <br /> Re:Notice of Preparation Supplemental Environmental Impact Report No. PA-0800105 ER Forward Inc. <br /> Dear Mr. Funderburg: <br /> The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association(AOPA)appreciates the opportunity to comment on the <br /> above mentioned notice. AOPA commented on the previous application and EIR by the applicant in 2012 <br /> and 2013,copies attached. <br /> We continue to be concerned by any expansion of a landfill directly underneath and adjacent to the <br /> approach path to an airport,specifically Runway 29R at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. While the <br /> proposed increased footprint is only 10 acres and outside of the Federal Aviation Administration's <br /> 10,000-foot separation distance for runways serving jet aircraft from landfills,wildlife,specifically buds, <br /> don't recognize those arbitrary boundaries and it is our contention that this will continue to act as a <br /> hazardous attractant.Allowing this expansion is not in the best safety interests of the flying public. <br /> 'l-hank you for your continued consideration of our views on this matter:If we call be of further <br /> assistance,please contact our staff at 301-695-2200. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> John L.Collins <br /> Manager <br /> Airport Policy <br /> Cc: <br /> Mr. Harry Mavrogenes,Airport Director, Stockton Metropolitan Airport <br /> Mr. Gary Cathey,Chief,California Department of Transportation,Division of Aeronautics <br /> Ms. Robin Hunt,Manager,FAA San Francisco Airports District Office <br /> Mr.John Pfeiffer,AOPA Western Pacific Regional Manager <br /> Mr. Dick Mesa, AOPA Airport Support Network Volunteer SCK <br /> 2 Attachments <br /> AIRCRAFT OWNERS AND PILOTS ASSOCIATION <br />
