CHAPTER 3
<br />FACILITY REQUIREMENTS
<br />7.5 Aircraft De-icing
<br />Aircraft de-icing is a common procedure for maintaining safe cold-weather operations. Proper collection,
<br />containment, processing, transfer, disposal, and recycling of the de-icing agent (liquid) are environmental
<br />concerns, both locally and nationally. De-icing involves the application of a liquid to the aircraft’s exterior
<br />by pressurized equipment. At EUG, de-icing is generally not performed at the gate, as de-icing methods
<br />are such that liquid overspray is not desired on other vehicles and equipment found near the terminal, nor
<br />on the ground (making conditions slippery and resulting in less safe worker conditions). Accordingly, a
<br />dedicated containment system should be installed at a designated de-icing area. The proper location of
<br />the de-icing area should consider aircraft size, ground movement, taxi routes, adjacent facilities,
<br />containment travel route to processing, and siting requirements and location of processing and transfer
<br />system.
<br />8. Surface Transportation and Auto Parking Requirements
<br />An analysis of existing surface transportation and auto parking capacity at EUG has been conducted to
<br />determine future requirements. The analysis is comprised of the following components:
<br />Airport Circulation
<br />Terminal Curbfront
<br />Auto Parking
<br />Airport Access
<br />8.1 Airport Circulation
<br />The entrance to EUG, and to the Airport’s roadway system, is located at the west intersection of Airport
<br />Road and Green Hill Road, eight miles northwest of downtown Eugene, where Airport Road from the east
<br />connects to Green Hill Road from the south. Continuing on Airport Road becomes Douglas Drive, the
<br />main route into the Airport. Douglas Drive becomes a one-way loop road, serving the passenger
<br />terminal, public (and overflow) parking, rental car parking and service, ARFF facility, and FAA facility, and
<br />connects back to itself.
<br />Douglas Drive also connects to Lockheed Drive and Northrop Drive. Lockheed Drive diverts west from
<br />Douglas Road to serve the fuel farm, Airport Administration, TSA, FBOs, employee parking, north
<br />corporate and general aviation area, and on-airport businesses. Northrop Drive continues north, as an
<br />extension of Douglas Drive, to serve the East General Aviation Ramp (EGAR), and ends at a controlled
<br />Airport gate.
<br />From the east intersection of Airport Road and Green Hill Road, where Green Hill Road diverts north from
<br />Airport Road, Green Hill Road continues to the north, and connects to Hollis Lane. Hollis Lane diverts
<br />south from Green Hill Road, to serve the Hollis Lane Aviation Area. Hollis Lane intersects with Awbrey
<br />Lane, which spurs east and west to serve airport maintenance, corporate and general aviation, and on-
<br />Airport businesses. Hollis Lane and the Awbrey Road spurs end at controlled Airport gates.
<br />Airport Road diverts west from its intersection with Douglas Drive, to connect to Boeing Drive, the Air
<br />Cargo Facility, LAA, and Grumman Drive, and ends at a controlled Airport gate. Boeing Drive diverts
