AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br /> <br /> <br />associated with Runway 17/35. Physically decoupling the runways will resolve the <br />existing significant safety issue of Runway 31 and 35 sharing a single taxiway <br />associated with each runway end. In this alternative, Runway 31 is shortened by <br />450 feet to place the eastern edge of the runway outside of the Runway Safety Area <br />(RSA) for Runway 17/35. The ultimate length of Runway 13/31 under this alternative <br />would be 5,151 feet. This reconfiguration enables Runway 31 to be utilized for <br />departures independently of arrivals and departures on Runway 17/35. <br />Additionally, shortening Runway 31 by 450 feet brings the RPZ associated with the <br />runway end entirely onto airport property, eliminating that need to purchase <br />additional land. <br />In summary, this alternative includes the following improvements: <br /> Lengthens Runway 17/35 to 6,314 feet in length and establishes new <br />taxiways to reach each end of the new runway. <br /> Shortens Runway 13/31 to 5,151 feet in length and establishes a new taxiway <br />to the approach end of Runway 31. <br /> Upgrades Runway 17/35 to C-III-4000 runway design standards. <br /> Upgrades Runway 13/31 to C-III-2400 runway design standards. <br /> Adds a RNAV/GPS approach with ¾ mile visibility minimums for Runway 17. <br />Maintains a RNAV/GPS approach with ¾ mile visibility minimums for Runway <br />35 and 31. <br /> Maintains ILS approach and RNAV/GPS approach with ½ mile visibility <br />minimums and MALSR system for Runway 13. <br /> Widens Runway 17/35 and Runway 13/31 to 150 feet in width. <br /> Provides for the ultimate strengthening of Runway 17/35 and Runway 13/31 <br />to 175,000 DW. <br /> Adds PAPIs at the approach end of Runway 35. <br /> Adds lighted windsocks to all runway ends. <br /> Provides for the ultimate decommissioning of Runway 8/26 and the REILs <br />system associated with the runway. <br /> Adds additional mandatory hold position signage on Runway 17/35 at the <br />intersection of Runway 8/26 to fully conform to FAA safety standards. <br /> Ultimately updates runway designations for Runway 17/35 during the latter <br />portion of the forecast period due to magnetic variation changes. <br /> <br />Alternatives Chapter Page 7of 60 <br />October 2020 <br /> <br />
