<br />on the east is an area which was primarily developed as sanitary land <br />fill for the City of San Marcos. This land fill has been closed and <br />the access roads plowed under. Currently, the Gary Job Corps uses <br />this land for heavy equipment training excercises. The distance of <br />this property from the airport terminal area precludes any realistic <br />a.i%port expansicn into this area. <br /> <br />On the south is the Gary Job Corps Center. It is considered to be <br />bath a physical and political constraint to airport development. on <br />the southeast is the community of Reedville, which has been covered as <br />a separate amstraint earlier in this report. <br /> <br />AvJIi lAhle utilities <br /> <br />At the present time, all utilities at the airport are provided through <br />the Gary Job corps Center. 'lbere are not abundant electrical, water <br />or sewaqe facilities available for other airport development. If <br />major industrial or commercial develqment were to be constructed on <br />the airport it is likely that major utility extensions from the City <br />of San Marcos (or other utility suppliers) would be required. This is <br />particularly true if industrial or toxic wastes are involved. However, <br />the City of San Marcos has indicated that current master planning <br />includes the developnent of a new wastewater treatment facility in the <br />far southwestern portion of the existing airport property. The <br />devel.q:ment of this wastewater treatment facility thus makes extensive <br />industrial developnent of the southwestern portion of the airport a <br />viable consideration in the intermediate time frame, once the <br />utilities and roadway infrastructure are constructed. <br /> <br />A:L.""ece oansL.l.Aoint9 <br /> <br />'Dle relative' locations of San Marcos Airport to other area airports is <br />an important consideration in the development of facilities on the <br />ground. '!be precise relationship of the airspace allocation for each <br />airport is of extreme importance, not only in terms of environment but <br />also in terms of economic considerations. <br /> <br />At present, Bergstrom Air Force Base c::onducts operations wi thin its <br />airspace primarily along a north-south axis. Approaches made to the <br />base under instrument calditions are invariably to the south. This, <br />or course, is in contrast to the operations at Austin Mueller <br />Airport (Robert Mueller) which are primarily southeast and northwest. <br /> <br />2.3 <br />
