IMPLEMENTATION AND FINANCING PLAN Taxiway connectors A4, A5, and A6 are non-standard per FAA design guidance and are poorly located to serve the existing and forecast fleet mix. The construction of new Taxiway Connectors 2 and 3 are necessary to meet FAA design guidance for ADG III/TDG 5 aircraft as well as meeting the existing and forecast fleet mix performance needs. Construction of these taxiways also improves airfield capacity, and subsequently airfield safety, by lowering runway occupancy times. As Taxiway A is reconstructed, preparations for the final segment of the Taxiway A SMGCS route lighting need to be installed. Constructing a new taxiway parallel to Taxiway A extending from the South Ramp to Taxiway D addresses existing non-standard airfield conditions and develops a dual-flow system for aircraft movements to and from the terminal area. Taxiway G should be realigned with Taxiway A to optimize apron space in the terminal area for aircraft pushback and deicing operations. Reconstructing Taxiway E and Taxiway F to meet FAA design standards also creates safe and efficient routes for aircraft moving into and out of the terminal area. This project also includes the demolition of unused pavement within the project boundaries and the construction of airfield lighting and pavement markings within the new airfield configuration. Previous Taxiway A reconstruction and rehabilitation projects have prepared for the completion of the Taxiway A SMGCS lighting system. Completion of the SMGCS route lighting should be finalized for the entire route in this project. Funding for this project is programmed in the FAA Accepted 5-Year CIP from federal AIP entitlement funds, discretionary funds, and the required local match. A small amount of funding directly related to the in ground electrical for RON parking will is recommended to come from a VALE grant. All remaining funds are programmed to come from the Airport Enterprise Fund or defined as an unmet need. 14. Environmental Assessment Terminal Area and Landside Facilities Prior to the design and construction of short-term terminal area and landside facility projects, federal regulations require the assessment of potential environmental effects from proposed actions that may affect environmental resources. A complete evaluation of the resource categories identified in FAA Orders 1050.1F and 5050.4B is required. Due to the type and number of projects that will likely require environmental documentation, it is recommended that the Airport consider developing an overall strategic environmental approach. This effort should determine the scale of environmental compliance needed for each future project, and examine opportunities to group environmental projects together to minimize project costs and maximize efficiency. Additionally, this type of strategic approach of grouping projects together allows for maximum flexibility should funding or the timing for projects listed on CIP change. The following projects are recommended to be included in one EA to determine the potential environmental impacts of the development: 1. New Rotating Beacon and Removal of Old Beacon 2. Landside Roadway, Parking, and Rental Car Improvements 3. New Landside Equipment and Materials Storage Facility 4. Mitigate Asbestos in Old Air Traffic Control Tower EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 5-28
