Secretary Gordon R. England <br />November 21, 2003 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />The State believes that new information about bird strike risks and changes in the F/A- 18 <br />E/F proposal since the State's consistency review require preparation ora new <br />consistency determination under 15 C.F.R. §930.31(e)and 15 C.F.R. §930.46 for the <br />siting of the outlying landing field. (The new information does not appear to <br />significantly affect the consistency of the Navy's decision to base two Super Hornet <br />squadrons at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and therefore the State does not <br />request a new consistency determination with respect to that part of the proposed federal <br />activity.) <br /> <br />Please accept this letter as a formal request by the State of North Carolina for a new or <br />supplemental consistency determination on the proposed siting of an outlying landing <br />field at the Washington County site to: <br /> <br />1. address the project as described in the FEIS and Record of Decision; and <br />2. respond to new information on the risk of bird str~es in the vicinity of the <br /> Washington County site. <br /> <br />Thank you for your prompt attention to this request. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Donna D.
