FACILITY REQUIREMENTS <br />Eugene Airport’s ARFF fleet currently meets and will continue to meet FAA requirements into the future so <br />long as the fleet is maintained and replaced with equally capable equipment. The life expectancy of ARFF <br />equipment varies by manufacturer and model, but Advisory Circular 150/5220-10E, Guide Specification for <br />ARFF Vehicles estimates a 10-12 year service life for most ARFF vehicles. Lightly used ARFF vehicles can <br />reach 20 or more years of reliable use but once repair parts become scarce or the annual operating cost <br />exceeds 75 percent or the current estimated value, replacement should occur. It is also recommended that <br />ARFF vehicle purchases be spread out to allow the programming of gradual fleet replacement over time. <br />Assuming a full 20 year service life, ARFF-1 will require replacement by 2024. ARFF-2 was built in 1991 and <br />rebuilt in 2005, stretching its service life. However, it is nearing need the end of its useful life, and has <br />already been budgeted for replacement in the near term. <br /> <br />The ARFF facility, also known as Fire Station 12, was built in 2010. The building is 11,600 square feet with <br />® <br />four ARFF vehicle bays and was built to LEED Silver construction standards. The facility is centrally <br />located and provides optimal firefighter response time to any point on the airfield. Any future airfield <br />layout considerations which affect runway length or taxiway reconfiguration should not negatively impact <br />ARFF response times. This facility is sufficient throughout the 20-year planning period. <br />Aircraft Fuel Storage <br />Fuel storage requirements at the Airport depend on the level of aircraft traffic, fleet mix, and fuel delivery <br />schedules. Changes in aircraft fleet mix, for example piston twins being replaced by turboprops, will likely <br />increase demand for Jet A fuel. Table 3-32 outlines fuel storage requirements for the 20-year planning <br />period for both Jet A fuel and 100LL Avgas. <br /> <br />TABLE 3-32 <br />FUEL STORAGE REQUIREMENTS <br />Planning Activity Level <br />2015 <br />PAL 1PAL 2PAL 3 <br />Peak Month Average Day (PMAD) Operations 204206215233 <br />100LL <br /> PMAD Operations102103103110 <br /> 5 - Day Fuel Need (Gallons)1,7721,7901,7931,903 <br /> Available Storage (Self Service + Fuel Facility) (Gallons)27,00027,00027,00027,000 <br /> Total Storage for 5 Day Need: Surplus/ (Deficit)25,22825,21025,20725,097 <br />Jet A <br /> PMAD Operations102103112123 <br /> 5 - Day Fuel Need (Gallons)72,31873,02779,26787,555 <br /> Available Storage (Gallons)60,00060,00060,00060,000 <br /> Total Storage for 5 Day Need: Surplus/ (Deficit) <br />(12,318)(13,027)(19,267)(27,555) <br />Source: RS&H Analysis, 2016 <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 3-63 <br /> <br />
