Based upon the information provided, our reevaluation removes the necessity for paragraph a. therein. However, paragraphs b. and c. remain in effect. Furthermore, in the May 21, 1990 letter from Mr. Nelson, he refers to the August 1, 1990, expiration date mentioned in our August 2 , 1989 letter regarding the Study No. 89-ASW-0090-NRA. Please be advised that date is the deadline for activating that heliport by sending the completed FAA Form 5010-5 to Washington. It is not considered to be the date the heliport use will be discontinued. 2 We have enclosed copies of the above referenced correspondence for your reference.

This system will be installed per NFPA 507, Chapter 6, "Fueling at Roof-Top Heliports", with the fuel storage tank buried in the ground adjacent to the parking structure, the pumps at ground level and the hose reel dispensing apparatus installed in an enclosed steel cabinet mounted over the edge of the helipad with the top of the cabinet flush with the helipad surface. Enclosed you will find sketches showing the plan arrangement and a partial North elevation of the parking garage and helipad. None of the proposed work will extend above the surface of the helipad. We are presently preparing the necessary documentation to apply for a "Specific Use Permit" change with the Planning Department of the City of Beaumont. Their code requirements indicate that with the addition of a fueling system, the specific use descrip- tion changes a helipad to a heliport. Additionally the City has requested that the FAA be contacted and a letter from you, addressed to St. Elizabeth Hospital c/o The White Budd Van Ness Partnership, indicating your approval of this modification be included in the "Specific Use Permit" change package. Our sche- dule is to have the package in the City's hands by April 30th and would v ry much appreciate your response prior to that date.

Protection of the airport environs can be accomplished only through such means as local airport zoning ordinances and acquisition of property rights. In order to avoid placing any unfair restrictions on users of the navigable airspace, this determination is valid until August 1, 1990. Should the construction not be accomplished by this date, an extension of our determination may be requested. Please complete the enclosed FAA Form 5010-5 (yellow card) and return it when the facility is operational. If we have not received this form by the above date, we will assume that the plans to establish the facility have been abandoned and will remove it from our active files.
