This is a How to manual for airport managers, sponsoring agencies, and ALUCs to better understand the funding programs and application procedures.Caltrans Division of Aeronautics12AB 511, Assembly Member Yamada-DavisThis bill added a section to the State Aeronautics Act. It provides requirements for marking and lighting (optional) meteorological evaluation towers (METs) that are erected to gather wind data over a period of time at locations where wind energy facilities may be built; specifically, those higher than 50 feet but lower than 200 feet to be marking standards that are issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Status: Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 182, Statutes of 2012. August 27. Approved and signed by the Governor. Effective January 1, 2013. Sunset: 5 years.

State Aviation Legislation12This bill would add state requirements to tracking, marking and lighting these towers. Some other states already have similar requirements in place. The FAA only makes recommendations.

Caltrans Division of Aeronautics13AB 662, Assembly Member Hueso-Chula VistaThis would require that new airport land use compatibility plans that are required to include AICUZ data go through a NEPA review first. If not, the AICUZ wont need to be integrated into the CLUP. Issue: City of Coronado compliance w/NAS Coronado AICUZ.

Status: The bill died and is no longer considered.

State Aviation Legislation13This bill has become inactive for a short time so the City of Coronado, the bills sponsor, and the Military folks can focus on resolving their differences. The City of Coronado is concerned that the new land use compatibility plan being drawn up by the Airport Authority could limit development in the City.

Caltrans Division of Aeronautics14SB 446, State Senator Dutton-Rancho CucamongaThis legislation would establish the Ontario International Airport Authority and require the transfer of management and operational control of the Ontario International Airport from the City of Los Angeles to the authority.

Status: Discussion on this bill stopped late last year, and the last two hearings were cancelled at the request of the author.

State Aviation Legislation14This effort by Ontario to take back their airport has been playing out in the media over the last few months. If things dont get ironed out between Ontario and LAWA then Senator Dutton reserves the right to bring this bill up for consideration next month. PAX traffic down 30% in last 2 years.Caltrans Division of Aeronautics15SB 619, State Senator Fuller-BakersfieldThis bill provides an exemption from the regulatory jurisdiction of the state Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) to flight instructors and flight schools.

Status: This bill passed at the end of last years session and is now law.

State Aviation Legislation15Without this bill, flight instructors and schools were looking at complying with some new and expensive regulations that would put many of them out of business. This bill reinstates an exemption that was lost in the passage of a recently passed bill.

22Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)The CIP is one element of the overall California Aviation System Plan (CASP), which takes the Departments aviation planning to programming. It details airport project needs within the state for the next five to ten years. Projects are selected based on a priority matrix approved by the CTC, based on safety first. A project must be in the CIP in order to obtain State funding. Were developing the 2012 Aero Program off the 2011 CIP.

The biennial Capital Improvement Plan element of the California Aviation System Plan (CASP) is required by State law PUC 21702-21706. Projects in the CIP are selected for funding under the California Aid to Airports Program (CAAP) with the Aeronautics funding Program.The CIP covers 5-10 years. State law requires 10 years while the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reports a 5 year Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP). CIP compiles capital needs for Californias public-use, public-owned airports.CIP serves is an unconstrained fiscal estimate for current and future airport development projects. Projects will be selected from the CIP to form the biennial Aeronautics funding Program. The Program contains 3 FYs..The priority matrix is used to select projects from the CIP.

Caltrans Division of AeronauticsBlue Canyon Airport Resurface Runway and Parking Ramp

Before After Existing Runway 15/33 had undulations & pot holes. Ground AC and used leveling course, then a 1.5 inch HMA over existing pavement was added. Project completed JAN 2011. Total project cost $165 K, State max. = $140 K. Runway markings painted by county.

32The Blue Canyon Airport is situated along Interstate 80 at the Blue Canyon exit in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range above the 5000ft elevation. The runway of the airport sustained damage during the U.S. Forest Service efforts combating the July 2008 American River Complex Fire. The runway damage consisted of aviation fuel spills that cause the asphalt emulsion to dissolve and significantly reduce the structural integrity of the affected area and substantial ruts caused by the helicopter skids.Placer County Department of Public Works began the process of rehabilitating the runway and ramp by isolating the contaminated runway areas for hazardous waste testing and removal of the contaminated materials by an approved contractor. Once the material was removed the holes where backfilled and compacted with Class 2 Maximum Gradation aggregate base in accordance to Section 26 of Caltrans Standard Specifications and then capped to original grade with a minimum of six inches of MAS Type A (PG64-10) in accordance to Section 39 of Caltrans Standard Specifications. The other areas damaged by the fire effort where ground out to a depth of four inches and replaced with the same MAS Type A asphalt. Once the runway was patched the airport ramp was cleaned, cracks sealed and a tack coat applied prior to placement of 1 of hot mix asphalt, the same mix used to patch the runway. With the ramp competed preparations were made for the placement of the slurry coat on the runway. All patches were measured for flatness (make level) and areas deemed excessive where ground to tolerance and swept clean. The final process was the placement of the polymer modified asphaltic emulsion (Slurry Seal) grade PMCQS1h with Type II aggregate and then rolled by a pneumatic roller to ensure adhesion to the runway. A second grant was for painting the runway; however, the county painted it and then tried to bill Caltrans. Therefore, that grant $9000 was withdrawn.

Caltrans Division of AeronauticsSpaulding Airport Enlarge Tiedown Area &Widen Runway Before After

Runway 16/34 widened to 60 feet (5 on both sides) and all cracks were filled. Completed July 2011. State Max Allocation $282K . Total Cost $305K. Future projects include pavement overlay of the runway, taxiway & tie down area.

33The Spaulding Airport is a public-use general aviation airport located on the western shore of Eagle Lake in Lassen County, at an altitude of 5116 feet above sea level, surrounded by mountains. The airport is operated year round and has a single Runway 16/34, which is 4,600 feet long and 60 feet wide. This airport is frequently used to access the many recreational opportunities in the area. It is also used for fire suppression and emergency medical response. The previous 50 foot wide runway did not meet the minimum FAA standard width of 60 feet. An Airport Pavement Management System (APMS) inspection was conducted in 2002 and the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) value was rated 51, which indicated a poor surface. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Division of Aeronautics visual inspection conducted in July, 2010 showed the runway pavement markings were faded, and the pavement had numerous cracks and loose gravel. The purpose of the project was to widen the runway to meet the FAA standards and enlarge the tie down area to accommodate more aircraft. Caltrans Aeronautics staff worked with airport management and an Acquisition and Development state matching project was programmed in 2006 to address the runway pavement issues. After funding delays, Lassen County submitted plans, specifications and estimates in 2010. The construction commenced in June 2011 and was completed in July 2011. The Lassen County Public Works Department accepted the project on August 19, 2011. The total cost of the project was $ 305,011.27, with a state matching maximum allocation of $282,000.The existing runway was widened to 60 feet (5 on both sides). The pavement cracks were repaired and markings were refreshed. This project should help with the safety and operations of the airport. Future programmed projects for this airport include pavement overlay of the runway, taxiway and tie down area. Future programmed project for this airport includes pavement overlay of the runway, taxiway and tie down area.

Caltrans Division of AeronauticsShelter Cove AirportRunway Overlay & Restripe Pavement Before AfterRunway 12/30 overlay. $499,000 max State with a total cost of $563,000. The District paid $30,000 for resurfacing six aircraft parking spaces: three overlay, three spaces with leftover asphalt grindings. Completed in December 2011.

34Shelter Cove Airport is a small, public-use general aviation airport located on 50 acres of land, one mile west of Shelter Cove in Humboldt County. The Shelter Cove Resort Improvement District (District) manages and operates the airport consisting of a single 3,400 foot long by 60 foot wide paved runway. This remote facility sits at the base of mountains, bookended by ocean cliffs. With waves crashing up near the ends of the runway, the Shelter Cove Airport has one of the most stunning visuals upon approach.Due to its remote location and limited access, Shelter Cove Airport is a very important asset to its community. An ambulance ride to the nearest hospital takes hours, which could mean the difference between life and death. Many lives have been saved by aircraft transport from this airport. Shelter Cove Airport is also a valuable staging area for fire fighters and Coast Guard rescue operations, as well as for the California Department of Forestry, Bureau of Land Management, Department of Fish and Game, and law enforcement agencies. This airport allows residents to live in one of the world's most beautiful places without sacrificing their safety and sense of security.Airports are not merely important for staging and emergencies they are considered on- and off-ramps to the entire air transportation system, and Caltrans takes the responsibility of their safety seriously. Division of Aeronautics (Division) staff are responsible for conducting inspections on Californias public-use airports. Aviation Safety Officers possess the authority to suspend an airport permit if they determine that the site may no longer be safely used because of a change in physical or legal conditions. In March 2011, Division staff inspected the Shelter Cove Airport and found that the runway was in poor condition. Cracks and broken asphalt pieces littered the runway and created Foreign Object Debris in the form of loose surface fines and gravel. Repair would require a two inch overlay of asphalt concrete and restriped runway markings to meet Federal Aviation Administration standards. To assist in enhancing safety, rehabilitating the runway, and reducing further deterioration, the Division granted the airport Acquisition and Development Program funds. The Shelter Cove Resort Improvement District received $499,000 toward the repaving project with a total cost of $563,000. The District paid $30,000 for resurfacing six parking spaces: three spaces overlay, three spaces filled/rolled with asphalt grindings. Construction began in November 2011 and was completed in December 2011. The District is appreciative of the partnership with the Division of Aeronautics and their participation in this project, said Shelter Cove Airport Manager, Richard Culp. Now, users of the Shelter Cove Airport will be able to experience the beauty and serenity of this remote airport as well as a safe and smooth landing.
