We fly in and out of NGU (Norfolk NAS; Norfolk; VA).  I think the TAKE-OFF Minimums on the Jeppesen 31-1 are incorrect.  I have a Jeppesen 31-1 dated 11 Dec 09; which (correctly) shows Runway 28 Take-off minimums as:  Adequate Vis Ref 1/4; and STD 1 (1 & 2 Eng). At some point; Take-off Obstacles for Runway 28 was updated to include Stadium Lights.  This caused Jeppesen to change the TAKE-OFF Minimums to N/A.  Really this means that we need to be VFR to takeoff on Runway 28 at NGU.  I wrote to Jeppesen and sent in the DOD document on Takeoff minimums; but they cited a US Navy document and did not respond to my second query.  I will send the information to company Safety.  The Stadium lights for runway 28 are 74 feet high and 2;327 feet from the Departure end of the Runway (DER).  The TAKE-OFF Obstacles for Runway 10 are TREES; which are up to 100 feet tall within 1;500 feet from DER.  The TREES are HIGHER and CLOSER to the DER.  I think the TAKE-OFF Minimum criteria was incorrectly applied to RWY 28.  I tried to correct this but have not been successful.
An Captain reported that he has the takeoff minimums for Runway 28 at NGU have been changed to N/A on the Jeppesen 31-1 plate and believes that this is incorrect. The previous version stated; Adequate Vis Ref 1/4; and STD 1 (1 & 2 Eng); with the addition of stadium lights that should not have affected the takeoff minimums.
