CHAPTER 3 FACILITY REQUIREMENTS response times to runways. The current location just barely accommodates the specified response to the newly constructed Runway 16L/34R. A new modern facility, located more central to both runways, is needed to address the issues for both ARFF staff, and ARFF incident response time. The Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) includes a new ARFF facility for 2008, per funding availability. Although the primary use of the facility is to serve the Airport, the facility should be constructed to allow for possible conversion to joint use, for both Airport and community response, as the need arises. The new location should accommodate the initial facility construction, and also allow for the facility to be expanded. Relocation of the ARFF facility makes available the existing facility and site for other use, to serve airport/aircraft operations, the adjacent FAA facility, the terminal building/environment (airside or landside), or FBO development. 7.2 Fuel Storage EUG’s fuel storage facility (fuel farm) is located on Lockheed Drive, adjacent to the Airport Administration building. The fuel farm has above ground tank storage for 60,000 gallons of Jet A, and 21,000 gallons of AvGas, and also has an open bay for expanded fuel storage. The fuel is brought onto the airport by tanker trucks traveling on surface roads, and transferred into the fuel farm. Mobile aircraft fueling vehicles draw fuel from the fuel farm, and ferry it to the aircraft on the airfield ramps. There are four mobile fuel vehicles, with a combined capacity of 12,500 gallons. EUG has a 100LL AvGas self-service facility is on the EGAR, from a 6,000 gallon above-ground tank. The Airport is considering the relocation of the fuel farm, away from the current high traffic entrance to Airport Administration, TSA, FBO, Airport business and hangar area, to a location that can better accommodate ground access/service by delivery trucks, and to a location that can better accommodate expansion. This relocation would make the current site available for other users. The current location has room for an additional 10,000 gallon tank, which would likely be needed sometime during the planning period. If the Airport were to relocate the entire fuel farm, adequate room should be reserved to replicate the current facility, with additional capacity beyond the one – 10,000 gallon space it currently has. 7.3 Airport Maintenance and Snow Removal Equipment Buildings The Airport maintenance facilities are located in the northern airfield area, north of Taxiway C, known as the Hollis Lane area. The Airport maintenance building is 9,200 sq ft, and houses vehicles and equipment for Airport service and landscaping. The snow removal equipment (SRE) building is 8,400 sq ft, and stores equipment to respond to winter weather. The 3,000 sq ft airfield electrical vault is also located in the maintenance area. The Hollis Lane maintenance area has the space to accommodate the long-term facility development of Airport maintenance facilities. Consideration should be given to preserving this area for long-term Airport maintenance, and not making the area available for terminal, hangar, or Airport businesses. 3-17 Eugene Airport Master Plan Update (February 2010)
