quality, wetlands, ecological resources,
floodplains, historic resources,
hazardous wastes, socioeconomics, and
economic factors.
Alternative One—Sponsor’s Proposed
Project
Runway 13/31 would be extended
1,100 feet to the north from 3,300 linear
feet to 4,400 linear feet. This length
would maintain the airport’s ability to
accommodate current and projected
airport operations.
To compliment the runway extension,
the corresponding taxiway for Runway
13/31 would be extended to the north
from 3,300 linear feet to 4,400 linear
feet. There would be associated levee
construction and major realignment of
drainage in order to protect the runway
extension against flooding. The GPS
instrument approach for Runway 13/31
would be reprogrammed to
accommodate the extension of the
runway.
Alternative Two
Runway 13/31 would be extended
1,100 feet to the south from 3,300 linear
feet to 4,400 linear feet. This length
would maintain the airport’s ability to
accommodate current and projected
airport operations.
To compliment the runway extension,
the corresponding taxiway for Runway
13/31 would be extended to the south
from 3,300 linear feet to 4,400 linear
feet. There would be associated levee
construction and major realignment of
drainage in order to protect the runway
extension against flooding. The GPS
instrument approach for Runway 13/31
would be reprogrammed to
accommodate the extension of the
runway.
Alternative Three
Runway 13/31 would be extended to
the north and to the south to bring the
runway length from 3,300 linear feet to
4,400 linear feet. This length would
maintain the airport’s ability to
accommodate current and projected
airport operations.
To compliment the runway extension,
the corresponding taxiway for Runway
13/31 would be extended to the north
and to the south to bring the total
taxiway length from 3,300 linear feet to
4,400 linear feet. There would be
associated levee construction and major
realignment of drainage in order to
protect the runway extension against
flooding. The GPS instrument approach
for Runway 13/31 would be
reprogrammed to accommodate the
extension of the runway.
