Attorneys representing San Clemente will meet Wednesday with Marine Corps officials to discuss the city’s concerns that two proposed helicopter training facilities will be used more heavily than Camp Pendleton brass originally indicated.
The Marines’ proposal calls for two parallel 4,000-foot airstrips that will house 430 daily training operations. The Helicopter Outlying Landing Field, or HOLF, will be 3 1/2 miles from San Clemente city limits.
Barbara Lichman, an attorney specializing in aviation law, said the city is concerned that the number of operations held at the HOLF will eventually increase, creating more noise than the Marines chronicled in an environmental analysis on the proposed sites.
