After about fifteen years we lost the lease on our field and had to find another location. We found a landfill in a neighboring county that had been filled in and closed to the public. It turns out that there are very few uses that are approved by the EPA, however, one of them is...that's right...an R/C club.
We had to go to the county commissioners and get approval, which was based on state EPD approval. Then we had to pay to have engineering drawings to submit to the EPD. We finally got their approval and went back to the county commissioners and got their approval. We now have a flying field that we are putting over five thousand dollars into and is on a year to year lease! Of course our next objective is to get a longer lease. We are putting on community events, working with the local schools, Boy Scouts, etc. Does anyone have any experience/ideas that would help?
Thanks,
Jim
