Wilmington International Airport, Granseur Dick 910-341-4333
1. The site is located near the approach surfaces of an airport. If the building height or temporary
construction equipment (crane) is planned to exceed 60’ above ground level (AGL) for this site,
the developer shall file a FAA Notice of Construction initializing an airspace study by utilizing FAA
Form 7460-1 in in accordance with 14 CFR Part 77.9. It is encouraged that developer file as soon
as possible to allow for any plan adjustments that may be required to result in a finding of “No
Impact”.
2. N.C.G.S.143-214.7 (c3) prohibits DEQ from requiring airports, as well as other development
projects located within five miles from the airport air operations area, to use SCMs that promote
standing water to discourage wildlife habitat (particularly birds). In the spirit of this regulation,
the Airport STRONGLY encourages the developer to utilize “dry” SCMs to the greatest degree
practical, including extended dry detention ponds, infiltration basins, etc. as may be required to
meet DEQ water quality/ quantity requirements while minimizing potential hazards to aircraft
from birds/wildlife.
