PART II - SECTION C
OMB NO. 80-RO184
The Sponsor hereby represents and certifies as follows:
1. Compatible Land Use. - The Sponsor has taken the following actions to assure compatible usage of land
adjacent to or in the vicinity of the airport:
Most properties in the vicinity of the Eagle County Regional Airport are within the incorporated limits
of the Town of Gypsum. The zoning of the properties includes industrial, commercial, and agricultural
properties directly adjacent to the airport, along with Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning for areas
of the airport operations and facilities on airport property. There are additional "mixed use" PUD
zoning areas adjacent to the airport that include components of commercial and residential uses.
The areas in the vicinity of the airport that are in unincorporated Eagle County are generally zoned
resource or some type of commercial. The resource zoning designation allows for very low density
residential use (1 dwelling per 35 acres) typically coupled with agricultural use (i.e. ranches).
In both cases of incorporated Town of Gypsum and unincorporated Eagle County, all land
development applications for residential development are reviewed by planning staff and subject to
approval by Town or County officials. All proposed development is reviewed for compatibility of the
proposed use(s) relative to the proximity of the use to the airport. Eagle County is a referral agency for
all Town of Gypsum land use applications in the vicinity of the airport, and typically provides
comments suggesting limited or no residential development within one (1) mile in any direction of the
runway.
2. Defaults. - The Sponsor is not in default on any obligation to the United States or any agency of the United
States Government relative to the development, operation, or maintenance of any airport, except as stated
herewith. -
None
3. Possible Disabilities. - There are no facts or circumstances (including the existence of effective or
proposed leases, use agreements or other legal instruments affecting use of the Airport or the existence of
pending litigation or other legal proceedings) which in reasonable probability might make it impossible for the
Sponsor to carry out and complete the Project or carry out the provisions of Part V of this Application, either by
limiting its legal or financial ability or otherwise, except as follows:
None
4. Land. - (a) The sponsor holds the following property interest in the following areas of land* which are to be
developed or used as part of or in connection with the Airport subject to the following exceptions,
encumbrances, and adverse interests, all of which areas are identified on the aforementioned property map
designated as Exhibit "A":
All parcels of land associated with this project are depicted with the attached Exhibit "A".
`State character of property interest in each area and list and identify for each a// exceptions, encumbrances, and
adverse interests of every kind and nature, including liens, easements, leases, etc. The separate areas of land
need only be identified here by the area numbers shown on the property map.

PART IV
PROGRAM NARRATIVE
PROJECT: Runway 25 Extension (Phase III) and Rehabilitation Pro
AIRPORT: Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE)
1. Objective:
Runway 7/25 and the parallel Taxiway "A" at the Eagle County Regional Airport are to be extended
1,000 feet on the Runway 25 (East) end of the runway (Phase III of the overall runway project).
Currently Runway 7/25 is 8,000 feet in length. Upon completion of the runway extension project, the
length of the runway will be increased to 9,000 feet in total length. The runway currently has a 632
foot wide safety area, and the extension will carry a 500 foot wide runway safety area width. In
addition to extending the runway 1,000 feet, an extended safety area of 1,000 feet beyond the
runway threshold has been constructed and graded at the end of the runway extension under
previous projects.
The existing Runway 7/25 will be rehabilitated, and partially reconstructed to rectify poor surface
conditions and subsurface moisture issues. Minor grading, subsurface drainage, paving striping,
runway edge lighting, and other infrastructure will be the main components of the project for 2008.
2. Benefits Anticipated:
The Runway Extension project will have several anticipated benefits for the airport. It will increase
safety measures at the Airport, by adding an additional 1,000 feet in overall length to the runway.
The project will also provide the additional length that will allow aircraft to takeoff and land with
additional payloads, thus generating more revenue for the Airport, and also may generate interest
for additional companies to operate out of the Airport.
Rehabilitating/reconstructing existing Runway 7/25 will extend the service life of the pavement.
3. Approach: (See approved Scope of Work in final Application)
4. Geographic Location:
Eagle County Regional Airport is located adjacent to 1-70 and approximately 5 miles east of the
Town of Eagle, just south of Highway 6. The elevation of the airport is currently 6,535 feet above
mean sea level (MSL).

If the sponsor is a private sponsor, it will take steps satisfactory to the
Secretary to ensure that the airport will continue to function as a public -use
airport in accordance with these assurances for the duration of these
assurances.
If an arrangement is made for management and operation of the airport by
any agency or person other than the sponsor or an employee of the
sponsor, the sponsor will reserve sufficient rights and authority to insure

19. Operation and Maintenance.
a. The airport and all facilities which are necessary to serve the aeronautical
users of the airport, other than facilities owned or controlled by the United
States, shall be operated at all times in a safe and serviceable condition and
in accordance with the minimum standards as may be required or
prescribed by applicable Federal, state and local agencies for maintenance
and operation. It will not cause or permit any activity or action thereon
which would interfere with its use for airport purposes. It will suitably
Airport Assurances (3/2005) 7
operate and maintain the airport and all facilities thereon or connected
therewith, with due regard to climatic and flood conditions. Any proposal
to temporarily close the airport for non -aeronautical purposes must first be
approved by the Secretary.
In furtherance of this assurance, the sponsor will have in effect
arrangements for -
required; (1) Operating the airport's aeronautical facilities whenever
(2) Promptly marking and lighting hazards resulting from airport
conditions, including temporary conditions; and
(3) Promptly notifying airmen of any condition affecting
aeronautical use of the airport.

repair, restoration, or replacement of any structure or facility which is
substantially damaged or destroyed due to an act of God or other condition
or circumstance beyond the control of the sponsor.
b. It will suitably operate and maintain noise compatibility program items
that it owns or controls upon which Federal funds have been expended.
20. Hazard Removal and Mitigation. It will take appropriate action to assure that such
terminal airspace as is required to protect instrument and visual operations to the airport
(including established minimum flight altitudes) will be adequately cleared and protected by
removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or lighting or otherwise mitigating existing airport
hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use. It will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including
the adoption of zoning laws, to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate
vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations,
including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In addition, if the project is for noise compatibility
program implementation, it will not cause or permit any change in land use, within its
jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the airport, of the noise
compatibility program measures upon which Federal funds have been expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable
terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of
aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities
offering services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right
or privilege at the airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to
conduct or to engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing services to
the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert and enforce provisions
requiring the contractor to -
(1) furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory,
basis to all users thereof, and
(2) charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each
unit or service, provided that the contractor may be allowed to make
reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates, or other similar
types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
Airport Assurances (3/2005) 8
C. Each fixed -based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates,
fees, rentals, and other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other
fixed -based operators making the same or similar uses of such airport and
utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to
use any fixed -based operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport
to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non tenant, or
subtenant of another air carrier tenant) shall be subject to such
nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules, regulations,
conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities
directly and substantially related to providing air transportation as are
applicable to all such air carriers which make similar use of such airport
and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable classifications such as
tenants or non tenants and signatory carriers and non signatory carriers.
Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably
withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes obligations
substantially similar to those already imposed on air carriers in such
classification or status.
f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent
any person, firm, or corporation operating aircraft on the airport from
performing any services on its own aircraft with its own employees
[including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling] that it may
choose to perform.
9. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges
referred to in this assurance, the services involved will be provided on the
same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such services by
commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the sponsor under
these provisions.
The sponsor may establish such reasonable, and not unjustly
discriminatory, conditions to be met by all users of the airport as may be
necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the airport.
The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of
aeronautical use of the airport if such action is necessary for the safe
operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation needs of the
public.
23. Exclusive Rights. It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person
providing, or intending to provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this
paragraph, the providing of the services at an airport by a single fixed -based operator shall
not be construed as an exclusive right if both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one
fixed -based operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed -based operator to provide such services would
require the reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement
between such single fixed -based operator and such airport.
It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or permit any person, firn
or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any aeronautical activities,
including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing,
aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier operations,
Airport Assurances (3/2005) 9
aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not conducted in
conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale of
aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the
operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any
exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the
grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure. It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and
services at the airport which will make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the
circumstances existing at the particular airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of
traffic and economy of collection. No part of the Federal share of an airport development, airport
planning or noise compatibility project for which a grant is made under Title 49, United States
Code, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport
and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in the rate basis in establishing fees,
rates, and charges for users of that airport.
25. Airport Revenues
a. All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel
established after December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or
operating costs of the airport; the local airport system; or other local facilities
which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and which
are directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of
passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.
Provided, however, that if covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued
before September 3, 1982, by the owner or operator of the airport, or provisions
enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing statutes controlling the owner
or operator's financing, provide for the use of the revenues from any of the
airport owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to support not only
the airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt obligations or
other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the
airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall
not apply.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the
sponsor will direct that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will
provide an opinion concerning, the use of airport revenue and taxes in
paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or transferred to the owner or
operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title 49, United
States Code and any other applicable provision of law, including any regulation
promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
C. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this
assurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 47107 of Title 49,
United States Code.

assurances of the grant agreement including deeds, leases, agreements,
regulations, and other instruments, available for inspection by any duly
authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request; and
d. in a format and time prescribed by the Secretary, provide to the Secretary and
make available to the public following each of its fiscal years, an annual report
listing in detail:
(i) all amounts paid by the airport to any other unit of government and the
purposes for which each such payment was made; and
(ii) all services and property provided by the airport to other units of government
and the amount of compensation received for provision of each such
service and property.
27. Use by Government Aircraft. It will make available all of the facilities of the airport
developed with Federal financial assistance and all those usable for landing and takeoff of
aircraft to the United States for use by Government aircraft in common with other aircraft at
all times without charge, except, if the use by Government aircraft is substantial, charge may
be made for a reasonable share, proportional to such use, for the cost of operating and
maintaining the facilities used. Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary, or otherwise
agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by Government
aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of those
which, in the opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas
by other authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that —
a. Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or
on land adjacent thereto; or
b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of
Government aircraft is 300 or more, or the gross accumulative weight of
Government aircraft using the airport (the total movement of Government
aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such aircraft) is in excess of five
million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities. It will furnish without cost to the Federal Government for use
in connection with any air traffic control or air navigation activities, or weather -reporting
and communication activities related to air traffic control, any areas of land or water, or
estate therein, or rights in buildings of the sponsor as the Secretary considers necessary or
desirable for construction, operation, and maintenance at Federal expense of space or
facilities for such purposes. Such areas or any portion thereof will be made available as
provided herein within four months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.
29. Airport Layout Plan.
a. It will keep up to date at all times an airport layout plan of the airport
showing (1) boundaries of the airport and all proposed additions thereto,
together with the boundaries of all offsite areas owned or controlled by the
sponsor for airport purposes and proposed additions thereto; (2) the
location and nature of all existing and proposed airport facilities and
structures (such as runways, taxiways, aprons, terminal buildings, hangars
and roads), including all proposed extensions and reductions of existing
airport facilities; and (3) the location of all existing and proposed
nonaviation areas and of all existing improvements thereon. Such airport
layout plans and each amendment, revision, or modification thereof, shall
Airport Assurances (3/2005) I I
be subject to the approval of the Secretary which approval shall be
evidenced by the signature of a duly authorized representative of the
Secretary on the face of the airport layout plan. The sponsor will not make
or permit any changes or alterations in the airport or any of its facilities
which are not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the
Secretary and which might, in the opinion of the Secretary, adversely
affect the safety, utility or efficiency of the airport.
b. If a change or alteration in the airport or the facilities is made which the
Secretary determines adversely affects the safety, utility, or efficiency of
any federally owned, leased, or funded property on or off the airport and
which is not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the
Secretary, the owner or operator will, if requested, by the Secretary (1)
eliminate such adverse effect in a manner approved by the Secretary; or (2)
bear all costs of relocating such property (or replacement thereof) to a site
acceptable to the Secretary and all costs of restoring such property (or
replacement thereof) to the level of safety, utility, efficiency, and cost of
operation existing before the unapproved change in the airport or its
facilities.
30. Civil Rights. It will comply with such rules as are promulgated to assure that no person
shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap be excluded
from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from funds received from this
grant. This assurance obligates the sponsor for the period during which Federal financial
assistance is extended to the program, except where Federal financial assistance is to
provide, or is in the form of personal property or real property or interest therein or structures
or improvements thereon in which case the assurance obligates the sponsor or any transferee
for the longer of the following periods: (a) the period during which the property is used for a
purpose for which Federal financial assistance is extended, or for another purpose involving
the provision of similar services or benefits, or (b) the period during which the sponsor
retains ownership or possession of the property.
31. Disposal of Land.
a. For land purchased under a grant for airport noise compatibility purposes,
it will dispose of the land, when the land is no longer needed for such
purposes, at fair market value, at the earliest practicable time. That portion
of the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate to the United
States' share of acquisition of such land will, at the discretion of the
Secretary, (1) be paid to the Secretary for deposit in the Trust Fund, or
(2) be reinvested in an approved noise compatibility project as prescribed
by the Secretary, including the purchase of nonresidential buildings or
property in the vicinity of residential buildings or property previously
purchased by the airport as part of a noise compatibility program.
b. For land purchased under a grant for airport development purposes (other
than noise compatibility), it will, when the land is no longer needed for
airport purposes, dispose of such land at fair market value or make
available to the Secretary an amount equal to the United States'
proportionate share of the fair market value of the land. That portion of
the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate to the United
States' share of the cost of acquisition of such land will, (1) upon
application to the Secretary, be reinvested in another eligible airport
improvement project or projects approved by the Secretary at that airport
or within the national airport system, or (2) be paid to the Secretary for
deposit in the Trust Fund if no eligible project exists.
Airport Assurances (312005) 12
Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this
assurance if (1) it may be needed for aeronautical purposes (including
runway protection zones) or serve as noise buffer land, and (2) the revenue
from interim uses of such land contributes to the financial self-sufficiency
of the airport. Further, land purchased with a grant received by an airport
operator or owner before December 31, 1987, will be considered to be
needed for airport purposes if the Secretary or Federal agency making such
grant before December 31, 1987, was notified by the operator or owner of
the uses of such land, did not object to such use, and the land continues to
be used for that purpose, such use having commenced no later than
December 15, 1989.
d. Disposition of such land under (a) (b) or (c) will be subject to the retention
or reservation of any interest or right therein necessary to ensure that such
land will only be used for purposes which are compatible with noise levels
associated with operation of the airport.
32. Engineering and Design Services. It will award each contract, or sub -contract for program
management, construction management, planning studies, feasibility studies, architectural
services, preliminary engineering, design, engineering, surveying, mapping or related
services with respect to the project in the same manner as a contract for architectural and
engineering services is negotiated under Title IX of the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949 or an equivalent qualifications -based requirement prescribed for or by
the sponsor of the airport.

to the greatest extent practicable under State law, by the land acquisition policies in Subpart
B of 49 CFR Part 24 and will pay or reimburse property owners for necessary expenses as
specified in Subpart B. (2) It will provide a relocation assistance program offering the
services described in Subpart C and fair and reasonable relocation payments and assistance
to displaced persons as required in Subpart D and E of 49 CFR Part 24. (3) It will make
available within a reasonable period of time prior to displacement, comparable replacement
dwellings to displaced persons in accordance with Subpart E of 49 CFR Part 24.
36. Access By Intercity Buses. The airport owner or operator will permit, to the maximum
extent practicable, intercity buses or other modes of transportation to have access to the
airport, however, it has no obligation to fund special facilities for intercity buses or for other
modes of transportation.
37. Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. The recipient shall not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, national origin or sex in the award and performance of any DOT -assisted
contract or in the administration of its DBE program or the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26.
The Recipient shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure
Airport Assurances (312005) 13
non discrimination in the award and administration of DOT -assisted contracts. The
recipient's DBE program, as required by 49 CFR Part 26, and as approved by DOT, is
incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of this program is a legal
obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement.
Upon notification to the recipient of its failure to carry out its approved program, the
Department may impose sanctions as provided for under Part 26 and may, in appropriate
cases, refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil
Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801).

Environmental Checklist
September 28, 2007
Airport: Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE)
Project Description: AIP Project No. 3-08-0020-41
Schedule I: Crush and Stockpile Aggregates
Schedule I will involve the crushing and stockpiling of the aggregate material necessary for the
bituminous paving and crushed aggregate base course for the project. It is estimated that
approximately 140,000 tons (70,000 cubic yards) of aggregate material is required for this
project. Aggregate sources will likely come from nearby gravel suppliers / pits located in the
Eagle Valley. There is a possibility that the aggregate material may need to be stockpiled on
airport property. Stockpile locations are yet to be determined, but will be located either on the
east end of the airport, or north of Runway 7/25 near the Airport Road entrance, or on the south
side of Cooley Mesa Road (borrow source location from AIP Project No. 3-08-0020-40). It should
also be assumed that there will be more than one stockpile location. If the aggregate material is
stored on-site, Quality Assurance testing will be performed on a regular basis to ensure that the
stockpiled material is meeting the material specification requirements, as outlined in the FAA's
technical specification (s), P-209 Crushed Aggregate Base Course and P-401 Plant Mix
Bituminous Pavements.
Schedule II: Runway Extension Paving, Including Taxiway "A" & Taxiway "A-1"
Schedule II will be the third and final phase of the Runway 7/25 extension project, which included
two phases of mass earthwork projects (AIP Project No.'s 37 through 40), in order to bring the
site to final safety area grades in accordance with FAA criteria. In 2004, an Environmental
Assessment was performed by Walsh Environmental Scientists and Engineers, LLC dated June
14, 2004, for all phases of the Runway 25 Extension project. This document will be referenced
for all elements discussed in this report that pertain to the runway extension. Upon completion of
the runway extension project, the length of Runway 7/25 will be increased to 9,000 feet in total
length, for Runway 25 departures only. This schedule will consist of the construction of new
bituminous pavement for the 1,000 -foot Runway 7/25 extension, from Station 0+00 to Station
-10+00. This schedule will also include the extension of parallel Taxiway "A", and a new
connector Taxiway, "Al". Schedule II will also include new 25 -foot paved shoulders along the
extended runway, and a new 200 -foot by 200 -foot paved blast pad. In addition, a new pavement
edge underdrain system along the runway extension including the extended portion of Taxiway
"A", and Taxiway "Al" will be installed. A small amount of fine grading within the Runway Safety
Areas will be required.
The new runway extension will incorporate new can -mounted elevated L-862 (HIRL) runway
edge lights and new can -mounted L -862E runway threshold lights. The Taxiway "A" extension
and new Connector Taxiway "A1" will incorporate new can -mounted LED L -861T edge lights.
New L-804 runway guard lights will be provided on the new Connector Taxiway "Al". New L-858
lighted guidance signs will be provided on the taxiway extension and new connector, and a new
runway distance remaining (RDR) signs will be added. In addition, the sign panels on the existing
guidance and RDR signs will be relocated as required to accommodate the new runway length
and connector numbering scheme. The existing PAPI system will also be relocated. All new L -
824c electrical cable will be routed in PVC conduit. Guidance signs for existing connector
Taxiways "Al" through "A6" will be modified to reflect the redesignated taxiway names of "A2"
through "AT', respectively.
Schedule III: Runway Rehabilitation from Station 0+00 to Station 31+25
This schedule consists of rehabilitation of Runway 7/25 from Station 0+00 to Station 31+25. The
geotechnical reports indicated that the asphalt in this area is in relatively good condition.
Schedule III will consist of rotomilling the top three inches of the existing asphalt pavement to
remove the oxidized and raveling pavement. A minimum of three inches of new bituminous
Page l of 16
surface course will then be placed on the rotomilled surface. Existing Connector Taxiways "Al"
through "AY, and "132" will also be included in the pavement rehabilitation, which will include
rotomilling the top three inches of bituminous pavement, and replacement with a minimum of
three inches of new bituminous surface course, to allow for proper gradients to be met from the
connector taxiways to the runway. Connector taxiway rehabilitation limits are tentatively set for
approximately 150 feet from the runway centerline. With the intent of preserving the existing
airfield lighting infrastructure without grade modifications and/or complete demolition of the light
system, an 8.5 -foot width of the paved shoulders, immediately adjacent to the runway, will be
rehabilitated. This is primarily intended as a means to tie Runway 7/25 cross -slope grades to the
existing shoulder grades.
The existing L-861 (MIRL) runway edge lighting will be replaced with L-862 (HIRL) runway edge
lighting. The existing isolation transformers will be replaced with new isolation transformers of the
appropriate wattage. In addition, L-804 runway guard lights (RGL) will be added at both
connector taxiways.
It is intended to keep the airport open and operational during the construction of Schedules III
and IV. As such, it is anticipated that parallel Taxiway "A" will be converted, by the Contractor, to
a temporary runway during construction, pending approval from FAA airspace analysis. Once
converted, only Group B -II aircraft will be allowed to use this runway during daytime VFR
conditions.
Schedule IVa: Rehabilitate Runway 7/25 from Station 31+25 to Station 80+00
Either Schedule IVa or IVb will be awarded after bid opening, but not both schedules
Schedule Na will consist of a temporary rehabilitation of the runway from Station 31+25 to
Station 80+00. The pavement cores that were obtained from the geotechnical investigations
showed evidence of raveling, within the middle of the bituminous portion of the pavement.
Additionally, some cores revealed bituminous thicknesses as much as 30 inches. This may be
contributing to the subsurface drainage problems. This rehabilitation effort will be a short-term
"staged" construction effort until funding becomes available to fully reconstruct the failed
pavement.
The proposed rehabilitation will consist of roto -milling 1.5 inches of existing pavement and
replacing with an overlay of 1.5 inches of bituminous surface course. Taxiways "AY through
"A6", as well as the Runway shoulders will not be affected during this construction.
The existing L-861 medium intensity runway light system (MIRL) will be replaced with an L-862
high intensity runway light system (HIRL), and the existing L-861 E runway threshold lights will be
replaced with new (HIRL) L -862E runway threshold lights. The existing isolation transformers will
be replaced with new isolation transformers of the appropriate wattage. A new 5-step/20-kW
regulator will be provided for the runway lighting circuit as required for the requirements of a HIRL
lighting system, and the higher wattage of the HIRL system lights. In addition, L-804 runway
guard lights (RGL) will be added at all four connector taxiways.
Schedule IVb: Reconstruct Runway 7/25 from Station 31+25 to Station 80+00
Schedule IVb will consist of a complete reconstruction of a bituminous pavement section of the
runway from Station 31+25 to Station 80+00. The pavement cores that were obtained from the
geotechnical investigations showed evidence of raveling, within the middle of the bituminous
portion of the pavement. Additionally, some cores revealed bituminous thicknesses as much as
30 inches. This may be contributing to the subsurface drainage problems.
The proposed reconstructed pavement section will consist of 12 inches of bituminous pavement
on 6 inches of crushed aggregate base course. With the intent of preserving the existing airfield
lighting infrastructure without grade modifications and/or complete demolition of the light system,
an 8.5 -foot width of the paved shoulders, immediately adjacent to the runway, will be
rehabilitated. This is primarily intended as a means to tie Runway 7/25 cross -slope grades to the
existing shoulder grades. A pavement edge underdrain collection system will be installed along
the runway through this section. This system will be incorporated into the existing drainage

Purpose & Need:
network. Also included with this schedule is the 3 inch milling and asphalt paving on connector
Taxiways "A3" through "A6" and "BY for approximately 150 feet from the Runway 7/25 centerline.
This schedule will include verifying the location of any possible subsurface waterways that
potentially exist under the pavement. Subsurface water was observed entering two of the core
locations during the geotechnical investigation. It is proposed to provide a geotechnical engineer
on call during construction activities to perform observation and analysis of this section of the
runway to locate and map the subsurface waterway(s). Pavement edge underdrains along the
side of the runway will be installed, along with cross -runway underdrains installed at the locations
recommended by the geotechnical engineer. Pavement cores along Connector Taxiways "AY
through "A6" indicated that the pavement is in generally good condition. The top 3 inches of
bituminous pavement will be rotomilled, and replaced with 3 inches of new P-401 Bituminous
Surface Course, to allow for proper gradients to be met from the connector taxiways to the
runway.
Similar to Schedule IVa, the existing L-861 medium intensity runway light system (MIRL) will be
replaced with an L-862 high intensity runway light system (HIRL), and the existing L-861 E runway
threshold lights will be replaced with new (HIRL) L -862E runway threshold lights. The existing
isolation transformers will be replaced with new isolation transformers of the appropriate wattage.
A new 5-step/20-kW regulator will be provided for the runway lighting circuit as required for the
requirements of a HIRL lighting system, and the higher wattage of the HIRL system lights. In
addition, L-804 runway guard lights (RGL) will be added at all four connector taxiways.
01AIn9 Zuva
11C sicca ui iuraway io De renamitatea trom Stations 0+00 to 31+25 (Schedule III) is experiencing
surface cracking. The Schedule III improvements are needed to prevent further pavement
section failure caused by this extensive surface cracking. The condition of the runway between
Stations 31+25 to 80+00 (Schedule IV) has failed and cannot be rehabilitated. Reconstruction of
this section is the only option. Both of these schedules will remediate unsafe conditions currently
existing at the airport due to pavement failure and continual FOD problems present on the
runway.
Directions: The person preparing this form should have knowledge of the environmental
features of the airport and general impacts of the project. Although some responses may be
obtained from the preparer's own observations, previous environmental documents or research
may be cited. Some of the best sources for information are the jurisdictional federal, state and
local resource agencies responsible for the impact categories. When a proiect involves land that
has not previously been disturbed (by construction) the ADO requires a specialist review the
categories of cultural resources wetlands and threatened and endangered species Please
contact the ADO environmental specialist if you have questions.

CONTROVERSY: Is the proposed project likely to be highly controversial on environmental ❑ Yes ® No
grounds?
A proposed Federal action is considered highly controversial when the action is
opposed on environmental grounds by a Federal, state, or local government
agency, or by a substantial number of the persons affected by such action. If
the action proponent has any doubt whether a given number of opposing
persons is "substantial', or there is a probable risk of litigation, that doubt shall
be resolved by discussion with ADO Environmental Specialist to determine if the
action should be processed as a highly controversial one.
On what basis was the determination made? Reference available documentation to support
analysis if applicable.
The proposed construction is on existing airport property and no alterations to
undisturbed land are associated with this project. No opposition to the project is
expected.
The Eagle County Regional Airport Master Plan, authored by Barnard Dunkelberg & Co. in
January 2004, found that the proposed project would impose no significant impact to the
environment.

analysis if applicable.
Since the Eagle County Regional Airport is a single runway airport, there will be temporary
adverse effects to the surrounding community during construction. At this time, it is
anticipated that the rehabilitation/reconstruction of Runway 7/25 will require a minimum
120 calendar day closure time for Runway 7/25. It is intended to keep the airport open and
operational during the construction of Schedules III and IV. As such, it is anticipated that
parallel Taxiway "A" will be converted to a temporary runway during construction,
pending approval from FAA airspace analysis. Once converted, only Group B-11 aircraft
will be allowed to use this runway during daytime VFR conditions. This will severely
restrict aircraft operations during construction.
The proposed rehabilitation and reconstruction of Runway 7/25, along with the
construction staging area, is on airport property; no residences or businesses are located
within the project area. The proposed project will not change the number or type of
airport operations; therefore, the project will not change the relationship of the airport to
the surrounding businesses or the economy.
The runway rehabilitation and reconstruction project is part of a group of projects
proposed in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to maintain facilities in order to
accommodate existing flight operations safely.
ENVIRONMENTAL Will the project cause disproportionately high adverse impacts on minority or ❑ Yes ® No
JUSTICE low-income populations within the DNL 65 contour?
If yes, what mitigation is planned?
On what basis was the determination made? Reference available documentation to support
analysis. (e.g. census data, local statistics)
The proposed project will not cause disproportionately high adverse impacts on minority
or low-income populations within the DNL 65 contour.

no, move on to WATER QUALITY. If yes, proceed to question 2 in this
topic.
2. Is the proposed project within or adjacent to a U.S. Environmental ❑ Yes ❑ No
Protection Agency, defined NON -ATTAINMENT (or maintenance) AREA?
If no, go to 3. below.
a) If yes to 2 above, is the project exempt from the General Conformity ❑ Yes ❑ No
regulations published in the Federal Register of November 30, 1993?
If yes, go to 3. below.
b) If no to 2a, is the project accounted for in the State Implementation ❑ Yes ❑ No
Plan? If yes, no further study is necessary. Move on to WATER
QUALITY.
c) If no to 2b, an air pollutant emission inventory must be prepared to
determine if the project will produce, on an annual basis, criteria
pollutants exceeding the de minimis levels. This inventory analysis
should include project revisions, intended to reduce the emission
inventory to below de minimus levels. If project emissions cannot be
kept below de minimus levels an environmental assessment must be
prepared which must also address item 3. below.

3. Are there any "hot spot" surface intersections where the National Ambient ❑ Yes ❑ No
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) might be exceeded as a result of
implementing the proposed project? This is usually an intersection that
suffers a reduction in the Level of Service (LOS) of two levels resulting in
an LOS of less than LOS C.
If yes to 3, an intersection air quality analysis must be prepared including an analysis of how
planned mitigation will reduce the project concentrations to below the NAAQS. If pollutant
concentrations cannot be kept at or below the NAAQS an environmental assessment must be
prepared.
If no to 3, no further study is necessary. Move on to WATER QUALITY
On what basis was the determination made? Reference available documentation to support
analysis if applicable.
1. Increase Airside Capacity: Rehabilitating and reconstructing the existing pavement will
not increase or decrease airside operations at the airport. The proposed rehabilitation is
not intended to induce growth but to improve airport safety.
2. Non -Attainment Area: Eagle County, Colorado is not listed in any of the EPA's
designated non -attainment areas for air pollutants.
3. Hot Spot Analysis: The proposed runway rehabilitation/reconstruction will not change
any landside operations, and are not anticipated to change the level of service at any
intersections that could produce intersection delays or "hot spots." The proposed
improvements are intended to maintain airport safety.
In conclusion, the proposed project will not change the number or type of airport flight
operations. With the exception of temporary construction emissions, this project will not
change emissions levels (see attached Construction Equipment Emissions Inventory).
WATER Will the proposed project produce water quality impacts to ground water, ❑ Yes ®No
QUALITY surface water bodies, public water supply systems, etc?
If yes, what mitigation is planned?
On what basis was the determination made? Reference available documentation to support
analysis if applicable. (e.g. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit,
water quality certification)
The proposed project will not alter existing drainage patterns or change the amount of
impervious surface at the airport. The existing storm infrastructure appears to be
adequately sized, and should have no impact on drainage patterns that could affect water
quality. Therefore, water quality at the airport will not be altered. All surface flows across
the project area will be intercepted by existing infield drainage systems.
The Environmental Assessment, authored by Walsh Environmental Scientists and
Engineers, LLC. in June 2004, found that the proposed project would not have any impact
on water quality.

Section 4(f) of the US Department of transportation Act of 1966 (Title 49 United States
Code Section 303) states that the Secretary of Transportation "may not approve the use of
land from a significantly owned public park, recreation area, or wildlife and waterfowl
refuge, or any significant historic site... "
Based on the Eagle County Regional Airport Master Plan, authored by Barnard Dunkelberg
& Co. in January 2004, this project does not impact any resources stated in 49 U.S.C.
Section 303 (c). The nature of the proposed work is remedial and located on previously
constructed areas. The project areas are designated solely as airport property, without
any other designation that appears in the Airport Master Plan, airport records, or
municipal records. Therefore, there are no Section 4(f) properties within the project areas.

On what basis was the determination made? Reference available documentation to support
analysis if applicable:
All of the project areas are previously disturbed without habitat for any listed species.
Therefore, a biological survey for the project has not been conducted. Due to the nature of
the sites (active and on-going surface disturbance and no surface water source) it is
highly unlikely that there are listed species or habitat for listed species within the project
areas, and further consultation with USFWS is not recommended. The Environmental
Assessment, authored by Walsh Environmental Scientists and Engineers, LLC. in June
2004, found that the proposed project would impose no significant impact to the

CUMULATIVE When considered together with other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future
IMPACTS development projects on or off the airport, federal or non-federal, would the proposed project
produce a significant cumulative effect on any of the environmental impact categories above?
No.
SEE ATTACHMENT #1 TO THIS CHECKLIST FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS RELATED
TO THIS TOPIC.
On what basis was the determination made? Reference available documentation to support
analysis if applicable:
The proposed runway rehabilitation and reconstruction are not anticipated to induce
growth, but are needed to maintain the safe operation of existing facilities at the airport.
This project is categorized as major maintenance (reconstruction of existing pavements).
This group of projects was defined by "items of highest priority that typically include
improvements related to safety and major maintenance... [and]... improvements to
facilities that are inadequate for present demand."
As documented in the previous Environmental Assessments, authored by Walsh and
Barnard Dunkelberg, the proposed runway rehabilitation/reconstruction and extension are
not anticipated to cause any significant impact to the airport or its environment. The most
likely impacts are short term construction impacts of noise and air pollution.

26. CUMULATIVE IMPACT. (FROM FAA ORDER 5050.4A) and amended by the St. George, Utah, Washington,
D.C. Circuit Court Decision of May 24, 2002
a. In determining whether an [environmental assessment (EA), ANM addition] environmental impact statement
(EIS) is required for a proposed Federal action, it is necessary to consider the overall cumulative impact of the
proposed action and the consequences of subsequent related actions. CEQ 1508.7 states that "'Cumulative impact'
is the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency (Federal or non Federal) or person
undertakes such other actions. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant
actions taking place over a period of time."
b. CEQ 1508.25 defines three types of actions to be considered in determining the scope of an [EA] or EIS: "(a)
Actions (other than unconnected single actions) which may be:
(1) Connected actions, which means that they are closely related and therefore should be discussed in the
same [assessment] or impact statement. Actions are connected if they: (i) Automatically trigger other
actions which may require [assessments] or environmental impact statements, (ii) Cannot or will not
proceed unless other actions are taken previously or simultaneously, and (iii) Are interdependent parts of a
larger action and depend on the larger action for their justification.
(2) Cumulative actions, which when viewed with other proposed actions have cumulatively significant
impacts and should therefore be discussed in the same impact statement.
(3) Similar actions, which when viewed with other reasonably foreseeable or proposed agency actions,
have similarities that provide a basis for evaluating their environmental consequences (sic) together, such
as common timing or geography. An agency may wish to analyze these actions in the same [assessment]
or impact statement. It should do so when the best way to assess adequately the combined impacts of
similar actions or reasonable alternatives to such actions is to treat them in a single impact statement."
c. For airport actions, the effect of a number of decisions about a complex of projects can be individually limited to
the extent that a finding of no significant impact or categorical exclusion would appear to be appropriate for each
project; however, when considered together, the projects may exceed the threshold values in paragraph 47e. In
both environmental assessments and environmental impact statements, the total proposal must be considered. In
the context of the CEQ Regulations, the total proposal includes the proposed action and all other actions reasonably
related to it in time and probability.
The following are some examples:
(1) Land acquisition and a future runway extension
(2) Runway extension and road relocation, when the road needs to be moved to accommodate the
extension.
(3) Grading for an Instrument Landing System (ILS) and future installation of the ILS.
(4) Apron work for terminal area relocation which necessitates highway rerouting, which in turn involves
housing relocation. Terminal area relocation is the principal action justifying the project, but the effect on
community disruption or other impacts due to the highway or housing relocation must be included in
assessing the total proposal.
(5) An initial runway extension and a second phase extension which is part of a firm development program
or reasonably foreseeable in the near future.
d. In determining when to consider the effects of actions by other agencies in the airport vicinity, the potential for
combined significant impact shall be evaluated. For example, new highway construction and airport expansion in
combination may create significant air quality impacts. Extensive earth moving from more than one project may
combine to cause severe erosion or flooding.
e. For further detail on the treatment of present and related future actions, see Chapter 10 of FAA Order 5050.4A.
