The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the proposed construction of a new localizer and distance-measuring equipment at Williamsburg-Whitley County Airport in Williasmburg, Kentucky.  Requests for copies of the FONSI and associated EA must be submitted by December 29, 2010, to: FAA/ATO/ES Group, ATTN: Terrell Rooks, AJW-E14F, P.O.

NOTICE

On May 18, 2006, the Whitley County Fiscal Court adopted a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, which requires a Stream Construction Permit from the Kentucky Division of Water (KYDOW) and a Local Floodplain Permit from Whitley County before any development activities start in a designated floodplain. Copies of the flood maps can be obtained from the Local Floodplain Administrator. Kentucky Revised Statutes, KRS 151, requires a “Stream Construction Permit” from the KYDOW’s Floodplain Management Section for any kind of development along or across a stream, including those streams not mapped on the community’s flood maps or Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). Development means “any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate”. This includes, but is not limited to: construction of new structures, modifications or improvements to existing structures, placement of manufactured homes, excavation, filling, paving, drilling, driving of piling, mining, dredging, land clearing, grading, construction of bridges, culverts, or any type of work in or along the stream or its bank. Without a Local Floodplain Permit that conforms to the Local Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, the State’s permit is not valid. In addition to the State and Local permits, an Elevation Certificate may also be required for some structures.

Any person who violates the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined no less than $100 or imprisoned for not more than 5 days or both, and in addition, shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the case. Each day such violation continues, shall be considered a separate offense.
