FACILITY REQUIREMENTS Preserving space for the integration of deicing facilities will be considered throughout development of alternatives in future chapters of this master plan. Because deicing agents have holdover time limitations, placing aircraft deicing facilities at runway ends is preferred. Deicing facilities are another potential area where airports can provide sustainability improvements. In order to meet evolving environmental protection standards, FAA has indicated the potential for implementing future requirements to collect deicing agents thereby mitigating environmental impacts associated with glycol runoff. These facilities can be equipped with underground tank(s) that would capture the runoff contaminated with Spent Aircraft Deicing Fluid (SADF) and store the SADF runoff to ensure it does not enter the stormwater sewer system. This type of underground system is more effective than covering water inlets and placing booms in front of unsealed inlets to prevent contaminated stormwater from reaching unsealed inlets, and reduces the need for glycol recovery vehicles to capture SADF. Airport Maintenance, Snow Removal Equipment, and Storage Airport maintenance facilities at EUG are broken into two different locations; one for airside specific maintenance activities, and one for landside specific maintenance facilities. Airside maintenance includes a campus type configuration made up of two buildings north of Taxiway C in the Hollis area. This facility is adequate, but not optimal, to support existing operations. The two buildings cannot store all SRE and airside equipment so some equipment is stored outside. The vehicle maintenance building lacks sub- grade working pits, creating a significant disadvantage considering the large equipment that is serviced at this facility. Finally, the airside deice material is stored in totes outside and on racks within the SRE building. It is recommended that future development plans reserve land for a new building roughly 7,600 square feet (approximately the size of the exiting SRE building) along with associated parking and vehicle circulation within the airside facility site. This space calculation is based upon the amount of space which is currently being used in other remote buildings and also incorporates the amount of equipment and materials stored outside today. Prior to constructing a new building, it is recommended that the Airport undergo an advanced planning space study. This study should inventory the airside maintenance spaces and develop a plan to optimize all the airside maintenance functions while integrating the new building ® with the existing space. Sustainability goals can be met by incorporating LEED Silver construction standards into the new building. The landside maintenance functions are currently housed in the landscape shop which is located between the Friendly Hangar and the old ATCT building. Landside specific equipment, such as mowers, trimmers and other landscaping tools, is stored here. The Friendly Hangar is primarily used to store runway sand and equipment used for sanding on the airfield. The old ATCT building is vacant. All three of these buildings are dilapidated and need to be demolished, thereby creating the need for a new landside facility. Space should be reserved for a building or structure that is roughly 4,000 square feet. This size is estimated based on the size of the area currently used. It should be noted that not all 4,000 square feet will need to be enclosed, and this space can exist across multiple buildings. A small shed or pole barn could reasonably house equipment, and a sand shed would effectively accommodate sand storage. 3.11.4.1Airport Snow Removal Equipment The need for airport SRE and maintenance facilities correlates to the amount of pavement, buildings, and overall grounds maintained by an airport.
