INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS designated de-icing location is in the run-up area near A2 and A1. When Runway 34L is the designated runway, the deicing truck will set up in the paved island in between A9 and A8. There are two types of de- icing and anti-icing agents that are used for aircraft de-icing operations, Type I and Type IV. Both Type I and IV are used at Eugene. Type I, orange in color, is best suited for de-icing. Type I de-icing can protect the aircraft from snow fall for approximately 15 minutes, however, it only provides approximately 4 minutes of holdover protection from freezing rain. Alternatively, Type IV, green in color, is most effective when applied as an anti-icing agent. For air carrier operations, typically the aircraft will back away from the gate, away from vehicles and people, when the de-icing agent is being applied to the aircraft. The Airport uses both solid and liquid de-icing agents on their runways and taxiways. The solid de-icing used is manufactured by Cyrotech and the product is called NAAC. NAAC is a spherical pellet that, heats up the ice and raises the surface temperature. The liquid de-icing agent used is Cyrotech E36. E36 is a clear, blue, and environmentally friendly liquid that contains no glycol. E36 effectiveness is enhanced when it’s combined with NAAC. Both NAAC and E36 meet FAA standards for de-icing and anti-icing compounds to be used on runways and taxiways. For landside roadway applications during ice and snow events, the Airport uses magnesium chloride. Both types of airfield de-icing agents are stored in the SRE complex. E36 is stored in two tanks outside the facility. The tanks have a combined capacity of 12,000 gallons. NAAC is stored in a bag on racks inside the SRE building. Each bag contains 2,205 lbs of the de-icing agent. The two aircraft de-icing agents are stored next to the airport fuel facility on Lockheed Drive. Two storage units contain Type I and have a combined capacity of 7,000 gallons. Totes contain Type IV and have a combined capacity of 550 gallons. Airport Maintenance Airport maintenance facilities and storage are essentially broken into two areas based on airside and landside maintenance needs. The following narrative details these two areas. 1.10.6.1Airside Maintenance Facility The airside maintenance facility includes two buildings north of Taxiway C. Landside access to this area is by Hollis Lane. The buildings include one SRE storage building which is described below in Section 1.10.7, Airport Snow Removal Equipment. The other building is a 9,200 square-foot maintenance building that includes space for parts storage, heavy equipment maintenance, and offices. The maintenance bays do not have inspection pits, which requires that all vehicles be lifted for any under- body maintenance. 1.10.6.2Landside Maintenance Facility The landside maintenance functions are currently housed between three buildings: the now defunct air traffic control tower; the Friendly Hangar; and a landside maintenance building. The Friendly Hangar is a 9,300 square foot building that used to be a limited service FBO. The hangar is primarily used for sand storage. Landside equipment, including landside mowers and trimmers, are stored in the landside building and in the old ATCT building. All three buildings are in poor condition and have exceeded their life span. The condition of these facilities is such that they cannot be leased or repurposed for tenant usage. The defunct ATCT has components EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 1-37
