As you know, plan development relies on each airport having an approved Airport Master Plan. In order for the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission to be adequately informed of the Airport Master Plan and to share concerns, the Commission is requesting the City of Chico Airport Commission schedule a joint meeting/workshop. The Commission would like the workshop to be held after the completion of the draft Master Plan. It is the Commission's understanding that the draft should be completed sometime in August. Please contact me or David. Doody, Senior Planner, at 538-7601, for information regarding future workshops. Sincerely, Paula Leasure Butte County Airport Land Use Commission COMMUNITY.

Project Title: Chico Municipal Airport Master Plan CEQA Lead Agency: Department of Community Development City of Chico P.O. Box 3420 Chico, CA- 95927 Project Description: The proposed project is the comprehensive update of the Master Plan for the Chico Municipal Airport. The revised. Master Plan will review existing airport facilities, associated land uses and projected future needs. The Master Plan will identify aeronautic improvements, and airport -related commercial and industrial development, which may be needed over the long term, focusing on specific needs within the 20 -year planning period. Improvements addressed in the revised Master Plan will likely include: • Extension of the existing Runway 13R -31L and associated taxiways to a new length of 6,000 feet • Expansion of existing apron areas north and/or south of the existing Fixed Base Operator (FBO) area - Additional hangar areas south of the existing FBO • Development of up to 200 acres of sites for new airport -compatible commercial and/or industrial development west of the existing airport (the "Westside Area" • Development of related internal streets, utility Daae PMW*rVJ. systems and taxiways to serve the Westside Area NOV 2 0 1998 Qf�( ca ._ �����Ii� Page 1 ��.C� Made From Recycled Paper • Aviation features to serve the Westside Area including a new FBO facility and associated apron, hangar, tie=down and other facilities • Construction of approximately 10,000 feet of new access road from Eaton Road north to the Westside Area and then west to Hicks Lane, including a new bridge over Sycamore Creek. • Potential future extension of Runway 13L -31R and associated taxiways to a new length of 8,600 feet The Master Plan and associated projects will require federal, state and local approvals. . Project Location: Chico Municipal Airport. The study area for the Program EIR is shown on the attached map. , Probable Environmental Effects: The Program EIR will address the range of physical, biological, land use, safety, and infrastructure issues normally considered in an EIR with specific consideration of the potentially significant environmental effects listed on the attachment. The Lead Agency needs to know the views of your agency as to the scope and content of the environmental information which is germane to your agency's statutory responsibilities in connection with the proposed project. Your agency may need to use the EIR prepared by our agency when considering future permits or other approvals for portions of the overall project. An Initial Study has not been prepared for this project, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060. Due to the time limits mandated by State law, your response must be sent at the earliest possible date but not later than 30 days after receipt of this notice. Some of the airport improvements addressed in the updated Master Plan will be subject to federal approval and/or funding. The Federal Aviation Administration will be the Lead Agency for preparation of an environmental document which considers the implications of these actions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Preparation of the NEPA document will be coordinated with preparation of the City's EIR.

Use Commission we appreciate the opportunity to respond to the referenced Notice of Preparation (NOP). ALUC's area of concern related to the airport focuses on several primary issues including: airspace protection, safety issues related to both aircraft.in..flight and persons on the ground, land use compatibility in areas surrounding the airport and noise compatibility. The list of issues to be addressed that was provided as part of the NOP is fairly comprehensive. However ALUC staff would like to highlight items that are likely to be of particular concern to the Airport Land Use Commission. Land Use: We are pleased -to see that the NOP identified land use conflicts, especially rural residential, noise effects and off -airport zoning for airport compatible land use as issues to be addressed in the EIR. As you are aware, the ALUC has recently initiated. the preparation of an updated Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for all public -use airports in the County. The analysis of these issues in the EIR could serve as the basis for future land use compatibility discussions within the CLUP. Noise: It is our understanding that new noise contours will be prepared to document both. existing and projected noise conditions. These contours should be weighted to factor in the effects of single event noise levels and periods of intensive flight activity such as CDF air tanker operations during campaign fires. The projected noise contours should be prepared based upon the anticipated ultimate length of both runways as well as the types of aircraft and projected number of operations expected at buildout. Environmental Hazards and Safety: Again we are pleased to see that the NOP identified hazardous materials transportation, ground and air, as an issue to be addressed within the EIR. Airport users, particularly those involved in crop dusting and Mr. Clif Sellers December 18, 1998 Page 2 other agricultural.related activities often carry hazardous materials. Airport operations safety is another item listed although it is not entirely clear what the scope of that item will be. As mentioned earlier, one of the primary issues of concern to the Commission is the safety of both aircraft in flight and the safety of persons on the ground. In order to ensure that both of these aspects are considered the Master Plan should.include a.detailed_diagram.depicting cur rent and/or. anticipated -flight tracks for various types of aircraft. The EIR should include an analysis which projects locations where an elevated likelihood exists for aircraft accidents. This analysis should be based. upon. accident scatter methodology recommended in the 1993 Airport Land Use Planning Handbook. Accident scatter projections for. Runway 13L -31R shouldbe prepared.for both existing -and -potential. future runway lengths. The projection for Runway 13R -31L should be based upon the proposed runway length of 6,000 feet. Alternatives: A. considerable amount of money has already been invested to develop_ current facilities_ at the. Chico Municipal Airport. From a land use compatibility perspective it may be desirable to consider relocation of the airport.. However., the feasibility of this option is not likely because of the extraordinary cost involved. The alternatives analysis should identify how much money has already been invested within the current facility in order to fairly represent its present "value'' to the community. Any. analysis. regarding airport relocation should present the total cost associated with such a proposition, including land acquisition, development of access and facility construction costs, to develop- an. airport -which. is equal to that which is proposed within the updated Airport Master Plan. The alternatives analysis for airport relocation should also address proposed- locations and the environmental impacts associated. with development and operation of a new airport in those locations. Hopefully these comments will assist your agency and the consultant with -refinement of the scope for the environmental document.
