Subject: 	Belews Creek draft sampling plan

Good Morning Robert,

I've attached a draft of the Sampling and Analytical Plan (SAP) for the

planned EPA sampling episode at Belews Creek the week of October 20-24.

We'd like to set up a call to discuss the plan and the sampling

logistics with you and the facility either early in the week of Sept. 22

or early the following week (Sept. 29).  Please note that there are

several highlighted questions for the facility in the text of the SAP.

We'd like to receive any comments and answers to these questions by the

end of the month if possible.  This will give us adequate time to make

any adjustments before the sampling and to finalize the SAP.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the timing

of any of this.

Thanks again,

Josh Hall

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies the air traffic service route structure in the
north central United States to maintain the efficient flow of air
traffic.

History

    In 1962, the FAA published in the Federal Register a rule that
extended V-443 from the Cleveland, OH, VHF Omnidirection Range Tactical
Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid (NAVAID) over the Aylmer,
Ontario, Canada, Omnidirection Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/
DME) NAVAID to the Toronto, Ontario, Canada, VOR/DME NAVAID, excluding
the airspace within Canada (27 FR 11497, November 22, 1962). The route
extension was established in concert with the Canadian Department of
Transport to provide a more direct route between Cleveland and Toronto.

    In 1989, the FAA published in the Federal Register a rule to amend
V-443 (54 FR 39166, September 25, 1989). The amendment inserted an
intersection fix between the Aylmer, ON, Canada, VOR/DME and the
Toronto, ON, Canada, VOR/DME NAVAIDs to adjust the arrival/departure
routes to/from Toronto, ON, Canada, and alleviate the congestion and
compression of air traffic in that area. As a result, the V-433
description was amended to reflect the route being realigned from the
Aylmer, Ontario, Canada, VOR/DME, to an intersection fix defined by the
Aylmer 051[deg] and Toronto 210[deg] radials, to the Toronto, ON,
Canada, VOR/DME.
    In November 2014, Canada removed the V-443 route segment from the
Aylmer, ON, Canada, VOR/DME, to the Toronto, ON, Canada, VOR/DME, as
part of their WTM airspace redesign program; however, corresponding
action amending the FAA's V-443 legal description was not accomplished.
This disconnect led to the charted depiction of V-443 being amended in
the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) low altitude enroute charts and the
FAA National Airspace System Repository (NASR) database being updated,
but the V-443 legal description published in FAA Order 7400.9, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by reference
in 14 CFR part 71, remaining unchanged.
    Since the basis for establishing the V-443 route segment between
the Alymer, ON, Canada, VOR/DME to the Toronto, ON, Canada, VOR/DME no
longer exists, the FAA is amending the route description in FAA Order
7400.9 and 14 CFR part 71.
    VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 2010 of FAA Order
7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airway
listed in this document will be subsequently amended in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B,
C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 71 by removing the route segment of V-443 that extends from
Aylmer, ON, Canada, to Toronto, ON, Canada. The remaining portion of V-
443 is unchanged. This action responds to the route changes made by
Canada as part of their WTM airspace redesign project. Canada has
subsequently removed this route segment and it no longer exists on
aeronautical charts. Therefore, notice and public procedure under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    All radials in the route description below are unchanged and stated
in True degrees.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,
paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action consists of modifying an airway
and it is not expected to cause any potentially significant
environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exists that
warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register not less than 30 days before the
Secretary may waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated
airport by grant agreements. The FAA invites public comment on the
request, under the provisions of AIR 21, to release land at the
Southbridge Municipal Airport from the obligation to use that land
solely for aeronautical purposes and to allow its use for environmental
mitigation. All comments will be considered by the FAA to the extent
practicable.
    The Town of Southbridge has requested to release approximately
30.29 acres of airport land from federal obligations and to consider
that land as reimbursement for $49,629.23 in general funds the Town of
Southbridge expended to provide the Airport with services within the
last 6 years. These acres are part of a larger 264-acre parcel
currently depicted on the Airport Layout Plan. That larger parcel is
identified as owned by the Town of Southbridge in the Worcester County
Registry of Deeds, Book 2928, Page 89. The 30.29 acres are located on
the west side of Commercial Drive and Barefoot Road and have 1369 feet
of frontage on Commercial Drive and Barefoot Road, but also encompass a
large area of wetlands based on MA Department of Environmental
Protection Wetlands maps.
    The Airport also completed a Real Estate Appraisal Report for the
parcel. The appraisal was conducted in accordance with the Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The appraisal
concludes that the Southbridge Municipal Airport will receive value for
the land in terms of liquidating its debt to the Town and, in addition,
value in terms of having the land preserved as conservation land
without development in perpetuity.
