<DIV><FONT size=2>Our field is located next to a marine oil terminal, this
terminal is the main terminal where crude oil is routed to two government
strategic oil reserve facilities, in June the management of that terminal
called a meeting to make us and our lessor the City aware of a Bulletin that
they received concerning Homeland Security specifically Model Aircraft/ UAV
etc. we were given a copy of it and it stated their
concerns and also stated that it was an official HLS classified document
for our eyes only. The terminal was requesting our assistance in reporting any
unusual model activity by reporting it to them and HLS. In addition they also
informed us that flying over their facility was no an option and that any fly
overs or crossing their property line required that it be reported to HLS, if
not reported the new HLS rules impose a $25,000 fine on them for each
violation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Three days after the new rules went into effect one of our
members crashed inside their fence, he immediately went to their facility to
report it and try to recover his airplane, when he arrived they told him
that the new monitoring system installed there had recorded the exact location
where his airplane had entered there facility and where it was located in
the facility. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>They recovered his airplane and after filling out HLS
forms which requires forty-five minutes, it was returned to him, and he was told
to expect to be contacted by HLS or other law enforcement
people. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>We have since put in effect club procedures to try to
eliminate any future such accidents as we feel that violation of the rules now
in place could result in the loss of our flying field. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>In order to minimize crossing their fence which is on the
South end of our field we are considering relocating the direction of our
runway from NS to EW which will require
a considerable investment. I wonder if HLS will help pay for it? We
have been at this field for about fifteen years and would hate to loose it,
Anyone know where funds may be available for such a project.</FONT></DIV>
