necessary requirements shall be determined by an approved FAA Aeronautical Study. Protection of N avaids/ Public Protection The airport would need to be fenced, with gate control. Additional costs are anticipated for protection of navaids or public protection. Wildlife Hazard Management The certificated airport shall provide an ecological study to the FAA Administrator when any incident or accident occurs on or near the airport involving birds or other wildlife. This study shall examine the event, the species and numbers involved, location of incident/accident, and a description of the wildlife hazard to air carrier operations. If a wildlife hazard management plan is determined necessary, according to the FAA Administrator, a plan shall be submitted to the FAA Administrator for approval prior to the implementation. This plan will designate those personnel responsible for its implementation and the action to be taken. If any incidents or accidents occur involving birds or other wildlife, the airport could be required to implement a wildlife hazard management plan. Summary The cost of ARFF equipment and facili ties are eligible for federal participation under the Airport Improvement Program (with a 10 3-19 percent local match). In addition, the cost for removing (or lighting) obstructions is also eligible. While no costs have been estimated for pavement or safety areas, these items would also be eligible for federal reimbursement, if improvements or upgrades are deemed necessary. While the information presented is very preliminary, it provides a relative magnitude of the representative costs associated with upgrading San Marcos Municipal Airport to fulfill the requirements of a Part 139 certificate. LANDSIDE REQUIREMENTS Landside facilities are those necessary for handling of aircraft and passengers while on the ground. These facilities provide the essential interface between the air and ground transportation modes. The capacities of the various components of each area were examined in relation to projected demand to identify future landside facility needs. GENERAL AVIATION FACILITIES Aircraft Storage Hangars The demand for aircraft storage hangars typically depends upon the number and type of aircraft expected to be based at the airport. For planning purposes, it is necessary to estimate hangar requirements based upon forecast operational activity. However, hangar development should be based on actual demand trends and financial investment conditions.
