As a Howard County resident who lives and drives this area daily, I do not want Howard County to help fund a railroad station and two parking garages and other infrastructure for the ill-conceived development which will bring 1000 residential units and about 800,000 sq. ft of commercial and office space to Route 1 at the Howard entrance to the Laurel Race track. The traffic nightmares will be intolerable! The City of Laurel train station is only 2500 feet away. Why should we fund this for the developer??? It will do nothing to help improve the traffic in that area, only cause MORE traffic. Please vote NO!!!!

  • Second Five-Year Review Report, Tipton Airfield Parcel Report Dated April 2011
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION III 1650 Arch Street . Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-2029 September 23,2011 Markus Craig Program Manager Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management; BRAC Division NC3 - Taylor Bldg 5064A 2530 Crystal Drive Arlington, VA 22202 Subject: Final 5-Year Review Report for Tipton Airfield Parcel. Mr. Craig: Thank you for the opportunity to review the subject document. The five-year review process involved reviewing the protectiveness of the Tipton Airfield Parcel. The Army prepared this report to address the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Section 12l(c) five-year review requirements. EPA has reviewed this five-year review report and found it to be consistent with EPA's June, 2001 guidance document, Comprehensive Five Year Review Guidance (OSWER No. 9355.7-03B-P, EPA 540-R-Ol-007). EPA does concur that the Tipton Airfield Parcel is protective in the short-term. However, EP A has made a determination that the long-term protectiveness of the Tipton Airfield Parcel must be deferred until the Land Use Controls are formally captured within a CERCLA decision document. EPA and the Army are currently in the process of finalizing an ESD that will address a) the need for sweeps of ordnance; b) appropriate disposal of ordnance if discovered; and c) land use control requirements. A Land Use Control Remedial Design should be submitted following the ESD which discusses the specifics of the Land Use Controls (i.e. what actions are limited and the extent of their limitation). Furthermore, as part of this five-year review, EPA has evaluated the basewide Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures for this site and has determined their status is as follows: Environmental Indicators 1.
