CONCLUSIONS AND 9ECOMMENDAT70NS
CONCLUSIONS
The City of Orovill,e Airport has potential to be
one of the best General. Aviation Airports in the
state of California.
There is a continued and growing use he air-
of port by both local and itinerant aircraft.
There is no airspace conflict between the orovil�,
irport and
any other airport or airways., not is
any airspace problem anticipated in t he foresee-
able future:
With proper maintenance and the phased construc-
tion .of moderate improvements
t she airport is
capable of accommodating the future General. Avia-'
.tion traffic demand.
The airport has more than 200 acres of surplus
vacant land.,P , s an
Industrial. development of the s•tzrpl;as land is

EXISTING FACILITIES
The Oroville Airport is a Eo mer world war 11 mili(_�u.'y
airfield acquired from the federal government.Tho pro-
perty has an area of 804 acres of which approximaLoly 3.00
acres are leased for various uses, incluuing a gold' course,
riding arena, fixed base operators and a mosquito abatement
district building complex. Thera are over 200 acres of
surplus and vacant land on the site.
The two runways aro 12-30 and 1.-19. Runway 12-30 is the
most frequently used by 11ght aircraft and is 4,835 feet
I
long with an effective gradient of 0..17 percent. Runway
1.19 has an effective gradient of 0.57 percent, which is
Less desirable than runway 12-30 bu'� is within the limits
for runway grades set by the VAA Runway 1-19 with its
5;925 .foot length is preferred by aircraft such as business
'
jets and transports, ;Moth runways are 150 feet wide and
are in good condition but are in need of surface sealing
the two major taxiways were constructed by the military.
The taxiway paralleling, runway 12-30 on the northeast is
now the main taxiway and the to Hatay on the south end of
the property connecting the thresholds of runways 1 and 30;
has been abandoned, There are also several, abandoiided
military hardstands and minor takiways on the south side of
the which are of no present use. A portion of the
4property'
golr course access road south of the clubhouse area has
been abandoned to use as a taxiway that loads to a tiedown
apron near the golf course parking lot, The golf course
tiedown apron is unimproved, but is popular and used f.re.

An aircraft is defined as a landing or a take-

determine if airport facilities will bu able 'to maet future
traffic demands . The dumber of operations per hour under

capacity of the airport system of runways and taxiways, it
is estimated peak hours at the drovi:lle Airport have epproki'--
