dsoltesz's Journal: Work E-Mail: Rotational Tuning Station

I'm starting a new series in my journal called "Work E-mail" where I will post interesting e-mails I receive at work as part of my job as Web Goddess. I will refrain from commenting on these e-mails and leave the reader to draw his own conclusions.

The first post in this series concerns one of several government facilities designed to adjust the Earth's rotation as needed. One reference I found to this was Retroweb's Lynchburg attractions page.

E-mail Received at Work:

Hello, I found an article online that stated the following:

"Lynchburg VA is home to an unusual scientific facility, a "rotational tuning" station, part of a global network of twenty-four such stations operated jointly by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey. Each station houses three powerful F-5 rocket engines which are fired in tandem with those at all stations around the globe when it becomes necessary to make minuscule corrections in the Earth's rotational speed (angular velocity). The global array was built in the early 1970's and has been used for two corrections, the most recent firing occurring on August 16, 1988 in which a synchronized burn lasted 8 minutes and 14 seconds. Another correction was scheduled for May 2003, but was cancelled after it was deemed unnecessary. Rotational Tuning Facility #9 is just south of River Ridge Mall in Lynchburg, however, the facility is within a government restricted area and visitors are not allowed."

I can not find any information online that this or any other facility exists. Do these exist, and is this possible?
