PARIS — The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered the suspension of the Edgar County Airport apron expansion and fuel tank installation “pending a review of documentation used in the justification of the programming by the OEIG.”
A memo was sent to the Edgar County Airport Friday from Alan Mlacnik, IDOT-DA, notifying those involved of the suspension.
“In speaking with the FAA, it is recommended that we revisit and officially update the justification for the apron expansion in light of new based aircraft numbers and better explain the rationale used in the development of the fuel tank justification,” Mlacnik stated in the memo.
Airport manager Jerry Griffin declined to comment at this time.
Edgar County Board member Jeff Voigt said the matter has been turned over to the Airport Advisory Committee.
“We are going to move forward,” he said.
In order to move forward, more information will be required including, “at a minimum, an inventory of the existing tanks and content complete with installation dates, local and federal participating costs and an accurate representation of existing monthly fuel purchases and current dispensing information (rates) for each tank,” according to the memo from Mlacnik.
“I believe that much of the information mentioned above may have already been developed as part of the formulation of the engineering report,” the memo went on to say. “…we can develop a strategy to move the projects forward utilizing justification acceptable to the FAA.
