  1. Dakota-Minnesota ADO FAA 2018 Update Presented to: South Dakota Airports Conference By: Andy Peek, Dave Anderson, Brian Schuck, Sandy DePottey Date:April 11, 2018

  2. Many thanks to all for improving the aviation system in the Upper Midwest DMA Issued $149.9M in grants- 126 total grants Sponsors State Agencies Consultants FAA ADO Staff FBO Operators Pilots

  3. Working together we continue to improve and build a fantastic Aviation System Collaboration with the State of South Dakota Regular project coordination meetings Interagency coordination Targeted CIP meetings

  4. DMA Organizational Chart Airports in DMA 209 NPIAS Airports 1-Large Hub 1 Small Hub Bismarck Minneapolis

  5. Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 The most recent Omnibus signed by the President on March 23, 2018 shows there is strong support for infrastructure investments nationwide. The Omnibus includes the two kinds of legislation needed for the FAA to administer the AIP through the end of FY 2018: Appropriations and Authorization

  6. Appropriation FAA Appropriations: • Funds AIP at the $3.35B level (full program implementation) • Adds $1 billion to the AIP for discretionary grants (available through FY 2020). • These additional discretionary funds may be used for any eligible AIP project • The bill requires the FAA to give priority consideration to: Nonprimary airports that the FAA classifies as Regional, Local or Basic, and that are located in rural areas*; or Small and Nonhub primary airports For this extra $1 billion in discretionary, the law also provides 100 percent federal share of costs for nonprimary airports

  7. Authorization • Extends the FAA’s authorization through end of FY 2018 • No changes to current authorization for the AIP

  8. FY 2018 AIP Next Steps Funds are apportioned from the Office of Management and Budget to the U.S. Department of Transportation, and then to FAA. Once FAA receives its funding allocation, and takes the necessary fiscal actions then the AIP can commence. Airports should continue to coordinate as in years past on planned FY 2018 AIP projects with their FAA points of contact at their respective ADO. For the additional $1 billion in discretionary funding, further guidance is under development.

  9. New SOP’s 10.0 Administrative closeout of AIP Grants

  10. FY 18 Important Dates Submit engineers design report to ADO Safety and phasing plans to airspace Transfer of NPE’s by mid May 2018 Close out reports to the ADO by Mid July* • *Jenny needs these by Mid/end of May Look for a Federal Register Notice for the grant application deadline, typically in early July

  11. Planning: Runway Protection Zone Definition: A two dimensional trapezoidal area at ground level prior to the threshold or beyond the runway end to enhance the safety and protection of people and property on the ground. • Where practical, airport owners should own the property under the runway approach and departure areas to at least the limits of the RPZ. • It is desirable to clear the entire RPZ of all above-ground objects. Where impracticable, owners should maintain the RPZ clear of all facilities supporting incompatible activities. • At a minimum for new runways, land acquisition should include Object Free Areas and Runway Protection Zones. To the extent practicable, land acquisition should include adequate areas surrounding the runway(s) to protect the runway approach and departure surfaces, and for existing and planned runway OFAs and RPZs.

  12. What does it look like? Dimensional standards • Visual/not lower than 1 mile • Not lower than ¾ mile • Lower than ¾ mile Impacts: Going from 1 mile to lower Than I mile ; 7/8 mile Changing from small aircraft to large

  13. Impacts at GA airports • Going to less than 1 mile (B-II small) • 250 x 450 x 1000 • Goes to: • 1000 x 1510 x 1700 • Going from B-II small (12,500 and under) to B-II large airplanes • 250 x 450 x 1000 • Goes to: • 500 x 700 x 1000

  14. Interim Guidance: New or modified land uses in RPZ Airport Sponsor must coordinate with FAA on any land uses described on the next slide as the result of: • An airfield project (e.g. runway extension, runway shift) • A change in critical design aircraft resulting in the increase of the RPZ dimension. • New or revised Instrument Approach Procedure resulting in the increase of the RPZ dimension. • A local development proposal in the RPZ (either new or reconfigured)

  15. Interim Guidance: Requiring FAA coordination

  16. Important Dates to Consider for EnvironmentalFindings DiscretionaryProjects Need environmental finding by April 1to be competitive for 2018 design/constructiongrant Includes Categorical Exclusions (CATEX) and Environmental Assessments(EA) Primary & Non-PrimaryEntitlements • Submit all environmental documents early with goal of having environmental finding by December 15 (Pre-application duedate)

  17. Environmental Timelines Levels of Environmental Review / Class of Actions: • CATEX Simple Written Record • Documented CATEX Form • EA/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) • EIS/Record of Decision • Potential critical path environmental data is time sensitive (seasonal studies) and is recommended to collect data during the planning phase, including: • Cultural resource surveys • Wetland field delineations • Biological surveys

  18. Cultural Resources • State Historical Office has minimum qualifications for individuals conducting archaeological surveys, architectural surveys, and historical surveys. • Tribal Consultation is necessary to determine presence or absence of cultural resources that have a cultural or religious importance that could be affected by the project • Tribes that are consulted with may no longer live in the region as a result of displacement

  19. Preapp does not identify tie-downs, hangar, or borrow site per other sections of Preapp • Cat Ex does not identify hangar taxilane, tie-downs, borrow site, or hangar per the Preapp Preapp The City of XX is proposing to construct a concrete hardstand with tie-downs at XX.  The construction project will consist of removing and replacing approximately 50’ x 150’  of the existing apron and the replacement will be a concrete hardstand.  The NWI map is attached and identifies areas to be reconstructed and the staging area. As this is a reconstruction project and a major profile adjustment to the area is not believed to be necessary, the APE will not extend beyond 30’ outside of the reconstructed pavement area.  The existing access road will be used as the haul route during construction.  CatEx

  20. Modifications to StandardsBy Brian Schuck

  21. Modification Of Standards (MOS) https://www.faa.gov/airports/great_lakes/engineering/media/agl-mos-request-form.doc MODIFICATION OF STANDARDS (2 TYPES) 1) Modifications of Airport Construction Specifications 150/5370-10G 2) Modification of Airport Design Standards 150/5300-13A

  22. Modification Of Standards (MOS) Modifications to materials standards shall be made only when locally available materials cannot meet the requirements of that standard…” Modifications to construction methods standards shall be made only when they will result in cost savings and/or greater efficiency,… Modifications to the general provisions of AC 150/5370-10, Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports, permitted to ensure conformance with local laws and regulations. FAA Order 5300.1G

  23. Modification Of Standards (MOS) https://www.faa.gov/airports/great_lakes/engineering/media/agl-mos-request-form.doc If requesting a Modification of Standards it should be submitted at the same time as the Engineer’s Design Report or earlier. Requests for Modifications of Standards are submitted at https://airports-gis.faa.gov/public/ SPONSOR SIGNATURE REQUIRED (NOT CONSULTANT)

  24. Modification Of Standards (MOS) Modifications of FAA General Provisions FAA AC 150/5370-10G (Part 1, Section 10 thru 110) Can be modified to meet local procurement, however does not relieve need to follow Federal Regulations Changes due to local law/regulation are permitted, must not change the intent of federal provisions Using FAA Provisions, show modifications with “track changes” Using Sponsor/Consultant GP, provide a comparison with FAA GP using a “section comparison table” May use FAA General Provisions and supplemental sections for local requirements as long as the FAA provisions govern. (No MOS submittal is required if intent of the federal provisions remains unchanged)

  25. Modification Of Standards (MOS) Modifications of FAA Construction Standards FAA AC 150/5370-10G (Part 2 - Part 11) Standards for materials and methods used for construction on airports. • Earthwork (P-101 thru P-158) • Flexible base courses (P-208 thru P-219) • Rigid base courses (P-301 thru P-306) • Flexible surface courses (P-401 thru P-403) • Rigid pavement (P-501) • Miscellaneous (P-601 thru P-632) • Fencing (F-160 thru F-164) • Drainage (D-701 thru D-754) • Turf (T-901 thru T-908) • Lighting Installation (L-101 thru L-119)

  26. Modification Of Standards (MOS) Modifications or Substitution of Pavement Specifications TITLE 49 USC 47114 (d)(5)(A) The Secretary may permit the use of State Highway Specifications for airfield pavement construction at non primary airports with runways 5,000 feet or shorter serving aircraft that do not exceed 60,000 pounds gross weight. Clarification in 150/5370-10G and Errata Sheet (7/13/2015) What does this mean? <12,500 lbs: MOS approval for State DOT Specifications, Approval by ADO >12,500 lbs but < 60,000: MOS approval for State materials, Approval by Region > 60,000 lbs weight: No State materials, Approval by FAA HQ

  27. Modifications to State StandardsDevelopment of State Specifications The States of North and South Dakota have been developing standards Modifications to Standards for pavements designed for 12,500lb. Once approved, an airport will be able to “borrow” the specifications and get the MOS approved more quickly.

  28. Modification Of Standards (MOS)Draft AC 150/5100-13C Proposed changes for non-primary airports: <12,500 lbs: MOS approval for State DOT Specifications, MOS not required >12,500 lbs but < 60,000: MOS approval for State materials, Approval by Region > 60,000 lbs weight: No State materials, Approval by FAA HQ Will not be out in time for 2018

  29. Modifications to StandardsDraft AC 150/5100-13C • The AC incorporates the following principal changes: • The title of the AC has been modified to clarify that the AC applies to two cases: • 1) the development of State Aviation Standards for non-primary public-use airports and • 2) the use of State Highway Material Specifications for projects for airport pavement construction at non-primary public-use airports. • Chapter 1 covers the development of State standards for non-primary public-use airports. • Chapter 2 covers State Highway Material Specifications for airfield pavements.

  30. Modifications to StandardsDraft AC 150/5100-13C • Appendix A includes information on recommended format and content for state aviation standards. • Appendix B includes guidelines for State Highway Material Specifications for airport pavements serving aircraft less than 12,500 pounds. • Appendix C includes an example asphalt mixture state mix specification (P-405). • Appendix D includes an example Portland cement concrete (PCC) state mix specification (P-505). • Appendix E includes tables on recommended minimum pavement thickness for flexible and rigid pavements for non-primary public-use airports when following State Highway Material Specifications. • The format of the AC has been updated and editorial changes have been made throughout the document.

  31. Modifications to StandardsDraft AC 150/5100-13C A modification to standards is not required for pavements serving aircraft with gross weights of 12,500 pounds and under. The new specifications will not be available for 2018! Questions on MOS?
