Document Description
To satisfy FAA regulations for runways serving the type of aircraft currently operating on Runway 12/30, the Proposed Project would provide a standard RSA. The Proposed Project
would involve the following components:
Approximately 7.8 acres of land within the RSA beyond the Runway 12 end would be cleared of vegetation, cut, filled, graded, and compacted to provide a standard RSA.
The existing LADWP unpaved patrol road would be relocated outside the runway's Object Free Area (OFA). The portion of relocated road would be approximately 15 feet wide and 0.25 mile long.
Approximately 1,635 linear feet of existing perimeter fence would be removed and approximately 2,175 linear feet of new perimeter fence would be installed beyond the OFA boundary.
Approximately 6.5 acres of land within the RSA beyond the Runway 30 end would be cleared of vegetation, cut, filled, and graded to accommodate the proposed RSA improvements.
Approximately 2,000 linear feet of existing perimeter fence would be removed and approximately 3,125 linear feet of new perimeter fence would be installed outside the OFA.
