Ok. I'll send in my application. Maybe they'll actually build it.
I found this update on the web site, and was amused:
We expect to receive our final PA-DEP Permit within the next 60 days
SAYLORSBURG, PA – June 6, 2007 –The NPDES Permit (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) was actually in Alpine's hands two years ago but a local protestant group appealed [emphasis added] the permit issuance to the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board where a Judge (The Honorable Michael Krancer) ruled against PA-DEP (not Alpine) that the Department did not follow their own protocols in issuing the original permit in March 2005.
We've been working with PA-DEP since Judge Krancer's ruling in September 2006 and have now perfected the permit application, which was submitted in February 2007. If all goes according to plan we could start building the Club later this year with an opening next year. We recognize this has been a long, arduous process...but we can't force the Pennsylvania bureaucrats or the judicial system to move at anything close to "track speed"!
Your continuing interest and support of Alpine Motorsports is truly appreciated and we can only ask that you remain patient with us while you enjoy your wonderful cars. One of our personal goals is to make it all worth the waiting-time for our Club Members.
In the meantime we are here at the Clubhouse 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday, and would be delighted to take you on a guided tour of this spectacular property where Alpine will be built and to answer your personal membership questions. If these days don't accommodate your schedule, we'll gladly make arrangements for your
Sunday visit. We look forward to hearing from you!
Very truly yours,
Dick Muller, Jr.
President
