The only place TRSAs reach the surface is within the core Class D surface
area. The outer boundary of a TRSA does not extend below the base
altitude of Class E airspace.

Please take a look at KRME on a sectional chart and compare what you see
to your statement above. The TRSA is charted as descending to the surface
in the immediate vicinity of KRME, which is Class G airspace below 700'.
A nearby airport has Class D airspace, however RME is not in (or under)
the class D airspace.
I don't have a current New York sectional, but I did look at KRME on
Aeroplanner.com and I also examined an old sectional from when Griffiss AFB
was still open. Please see my comments about that in another message in
this thread. Please also compare my statement above to what the AIM has to
say about TRSAs.
