STATUS OF AIRPORT
PROJECTS FOR THE WEB 2006
W. H. MORSE STATE AIRPORT,
ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT & AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN UPDATE
This
project will update the Airport Layout Plan for the airport and
provide an environmental assessment for the reconstruction of the
existing runway. The layout plan will also address safety area
needs for the runway and make recommendations on how best to provide
for proper safety areas at each runway end.
MORRISVILLE-STOWE
STATE
AIRPORT RUNWAY
RECONSTRUCTION – ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN
This project will
perform Preliminary design, Environmental Assessment & Permitting
for the following improvements: Reconstruction of existing runway;
Replacement of runway & taxiway lighting; and, Improvements to the
Runway Safety Area
FRANKLIN COUNTY
STATE AIRPORT
LAYOUT PLAN UPDATE
This project will
provide for an update of the Airport Layout Plan. This airport
has grown rapidly in terms of the demand for private aircraft
hangars. In addition, we wish to explore options of having a
turf landing area for aircraft and ultra light aircraft. This
layout plan will address where future hangars can be built and
address other landside and airside improvements for the future.
FRANKLIN
COUNTY STATE AIRPORT
SAFETY AREA IMPROVEMENTS:
This project will
provide for a proper safety area to the north of the runway.
The existing runway safety area extends 200 feet from the end of the
runway. This project will use a retaining wall and fill to
provide for 300 feet of safety area which will bring the safety area
into compliance with FAA standards. Ground and tree
obstructions in the approach to the north end of the runway will
also be removed.
MIDDLEBURY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR RUNWAY SAFETY AREA
IMPROVEMENTS & RUNWAY EXTENSION:
This Environmental
Assessment Study will look at the existing safety area deficiencies
and make recommendations to bring the safety area into compliance
with FAA design criteria. The area to the north of the
existing runway will be studied for environmental issues to see if a
runway extension of some length could be pursued in the future.
The study will also look at existing obstructions to each runway
end.
RUTLAND
STATE AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS –RESOURCE ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION PLAN;
STUB TAXIWAY/APRON; RUNWAY GROOVING; AND, PAVEMENT SENSORS
This project will
provide for the following:
- Natural Resource Assessment & Wildlife
Hazard Mitigation Plan – This assessment and plan will study the
effect of the perimeter fencing on local wildlife as it affects
airport operations and develop a plan to address wildlife
hazards which airport operations staff can implement.
- Stub Taxiway & Apron– This project will
provide for access to the western hangar development and provide
for three additional tie downs. It will open up development of
future hangar sites to the north.
- Runway Grooving RW 1/19 –This project will
improve breaking action especially for commercial flights under
Part 139.
Pavement Sensors –
This project will provide airport operations staff the ability to
assess runway conditions remotely during winter operations.
RUTLAND STATE AIRPORT
SAFETY AREA STUDY
This study is ongoing
and will address options to bring the main runway (runway 1-19) into
compliance with safety area standards.
STATE-WIDE AIRPORT
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT & MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
This project will
provide for the assessment of all state-wide airport pavements and
an update to pavement condition database. The project will
prioritize three years of pavement maintenance and develop bid
documents for pavement maintenance projects through 2007.
The benefits of this
program will be the maximization of the useful life of airport
pavements in compliance with FAA AAC 150/5380-6A and the principles
of asset management. This effort will result in safer airport
operations and less costly investments in the airport
infrastructure.
