Master Plan Executive Summary SECTION OVERVIEW This Airport Master Plan investigated the needs of the McCall Municipal Airport and was completed by T-O Engineers in 2022 on behalf of the City of McCall. This document adheres to all applicable rules, standards, and regulations outlined in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circulars (ACs) and Orders. E.S.1 OVERVIEW AND FINDINGS This Airport Master Plan commenced in June of 2020, during the lockdowns associated with COVID-19 and amid widespread uncertainty within the aviation industry. In July of 2020, two major construction projects started - a relocation of Taxiway A and a reconstruction of the U.S. Forest Service apron. Consequently, some of the aerial photos of the airport in this Airport Master Plan show the before, during, and after construction configuration. Despite these unprecedented challenges, the Airport Master Plan was completed in less than two years. The main findings from this planning effort are summarized below, and are based on the planning process and public input: • Future runway length of 6,510 feet is needed to meet FAA minimum runway length recommendation. • Airfield geometry and nomenclature revisions are needed to meet current standards and enhance safety. • There are numerous obstructions, mainly by trees and terrain, penetrating the airport’s protective surfaces and impacting instrument approach procedures. • The existing weather station (ASOS) and retention basin impede full hangar development of the infield. • Snow storage is an extremely important consideration in McCall. • More open space tie-downs were requested by the airport users. • Terminal area circulation improvements will enhance safety and efficiency. • Hangars are generally oversized for the types of aircraft being stored, reducing the number of hangars that can be built. • The zoning south of the City’s Impact Area does not adequately protect the airport from encroachment. • Demand for hangar space increased during the planning study. • Fire fighting operations typically overflow to the transient apron, along with their support equipment. • Pavement condition needs to be addressed. • Forecasted operations in 2040 are projected to be just over 39,000. • For this planning horizon, the airport was designed around a medium-sized business jet. • There was not enough evidence presented during this study to support the addition of passenger airline service at the airport within this Airport Master Plan. Executive Summary ES2McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan E.S.2 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Traditional public involvement (in-person) during this Airport Master Plan required re-imagining using a blend of virtual, in-person, and hybrid meeting formats and intake of public comments, which was achieved through a series of dedicated public meetings, online comment forms, a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and monthly Airport Advisory Committee (AAC) meetings, as described below: • Kickoff Meeting (virtual), July 2020: Pre-recorded and available on the City of McCall website.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY Major development proposals from this Airport Master Plan are summarized below. Total improvements are estimated to be over $38.7 million, of which at least $2.2 million is expected to be locally funded. • Phased hangar and taxilane development of the infield. Includes provisions for tie-downs and snow storage. • Installation of a new taxiway connecting Taxiway A to Taxiway E at the south edge of the transient apron. • Reconstruction and reconfiguration of the transient apron pavement and tie-down spaces. • Phased scheduled pavement maintenance of the runway, taxiways, and taxilanes. • Installation of a new fire fighting pad to accommodate large helicopters and support equipment. • Relocation of the ASOS to the south end of the airport. • Creation of a new General Aviation Terminal area, with an extension of Krahn Lane onto the airport. • Airfield geometry improvements to the Runway 16 blast pad and Taxiways B-1, A-1, and B-2. • Extension of the runway to the south by 402 feet for a new total length of 6,510 feet. • Placeholders for obstruction removal and Snow Removal Equipment (SRE) purchases. • Land acquisition to accommodate future development. Page 1McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 1. Airports and Master Plans Introduction SECTION OVERVIEW This section provides an introduction to concepts and topics central to the United States aviation system. The information provides an introductory foundation of knowledge to understand and interpret the remainder of this Master Plan. 1.1 HISTORICAL CONTEXT Aviation has been embedded in the United States for more than a hundred years, starting with the Wright brothers’ famous 1903 Flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It did not take long for government and business to realize the opportunities offered by controlled, powered flight. From military applications to air mail, government requirements grew along with technology. Private business also pushed the development of faster, safer aircraft incorporating new technology into passenger and cargo transport. Through the war effort during World War II, aviation as an industry truly flourished. In the years following the war, some aviation officials estimated that half of all households would own private aircraft. Although that level of aircraft ownership never materialized, the period from the end of World War II to the early 1980s is considered the pinnacle of general aviation. During this period, community airports were expanded, and new ones built regularly. Often, a community airport that started as a simple grass runway found itself needing to develop paved landing areas to accommodate more demanding aircraft. Some communities realized the economic benefits of a developed “aviation gateway,” and invested in full airport facilities. Since the 1980s, airport use has slowly shifted from private and recreational operations to business and commercial services. Today, the aircraft frequenting airport facilities are more demanding than ever, both in size and speed. This translates to ever-changing needs at airports, including increased runway lengths, stronger pavements, and larger safety areas. McCall Municipal Airport is no exception to this development. The airport serves the local citizenry as a multifunctional airport through fervent backcountry and recreational flying, charter services, business aviation, as well as hosting one of four U.S. Forest Service Smokejumper bases in the United States. The airport also serves area businesses as an economic engine. 1.2 THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION The Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA) was created in 1938, and was replaced by the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) in 1958 which acted as an independent agency. When the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) was created in 1967, the FAA was no longer an independent agency, but now one of the several modal organizations within the DOT. 1. Airports and Master Plans Introduction McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Page 2 The FAA serves as the nation’s aviation authority and is responsible for the safety of civil aviation. The FAA is a large agency, employing more than 45,000 people and includes a myriad of divisions and offices across the country. The major roles of the FAA are to regulate civil aviation and promote safety, encourage and develop civil aeronautics to include new aviation technology, develop and maintain an operating system of air traffic control and navigation for both civilian and military aircraft, research and develop the National Airspace System (NAS) and civil aeronautics, develop and carry out programs to control aircraft noise and other environmental effects of aviation, and regulate U.S. commercial space transportation1. The FAA is divided into a myriad of divisions, regions, and districts in order to provide comprehensive aviation authority across the nation. For airport development projects and grant funding, airport sponsors and planning consultants work with the FAA Airports Division (ARP). The ARP is further divided into nine regions, which is again split into Airports District Offices (ADOs). Each ADO is primarily made up of civil engineers and planners. The staff serves as project managers for federally funded projects, and interact daily with airport sponsors, state officials, and consultants to manage and direct project which further the overall goals of the national and state aviation systems. McCall Municipal Airport is within the Northwest Mountain Region; the Airport Sponsor and consultants work directly with ADO engineers, planners, and environmental specialists for all federally funded projects. 1.3 NATIONAL PLAN OF INTEGRATED AIRPORT SYSTEMS The national infrastructure of public use airports form the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). The NPIAS is critical to the national transportation system and helps air transportation contribute to a productive national economy and international competitiveness. To meet the demand for air transportation, airports and the airport system should have the following attributes: • Airports should be safe and efficient, located where people will use them, and developed and maintained to appropriate standards. • Airports should be affordable to both users and government, relying primarily on producing self-sustaining revenue, and placing minimal burden on the general revenues of the local, state, and federal governments. • Airports should be flexible and expandable, able to meet increased demand, and to accommodate new aircraft types. • Airports should be permanent, with assurance that they will remain open for aeronautical use over the long term. • Airports should be compatible with surrounding communities, maintaining a balance between the needs of aviation, the environment, and the requirements of residents. • Airports should be developed in concert with improvements to the air traffic control system and technological advancements. • The airport system should support a variety of critical national objectives, such as defense, emergency readiness, law enforcement, and postal delivery. • The airport system should be extensive, providing as many people as possible with convenient access to air transportation, typically by having most of the population within 20 miles of a NPIAS airport. 1. Airports and Master Plans Introduction Page 3McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan According to the 2019-2023 NPIAS Report, there were 3,328 airports in the NPIAS which include 3,321 existing and seven proposed airports. The seven proposed airports are expected to open within five years covered in the report2. Airports in the NPIAS are classified as primary or nonprimary, and divided into subcategories under each classification (Table 1.1). Figures 1.1 and 1.2 show the distribution of existing nonprimary and primary NPIAS across the nation. To be eligible for federal funding, and Airport must be included in the NPIAS. McCall Municipal Airport is classified as a nonprimary, general aviation airport. 1.4 FUNDING AIRPORT PROJECTS The Airport Improvement Program (AIP) was established by the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 to provide funding to airports on a priority needed basis. The FAA coordinates this program. The AIP is a user-funded program and is not funded by federal income tax dollars. The AIP is primarily funded through the Airport and Airway Trust Fund (AATF). While some of the funds are used for FAA overhead costs, the majority of the money is distributed to community airports through grants. Eligible airports range from small community facilities to the Large Hub, 8% Medium Hub, 8% Small Hub, 19%Nonhub, 65%General Aviation, 87% Relievers, 9% Commercial Service, 4% Figure 1.1 NPIAS Nonprimary Airports Figure 1.2 NPIAS Primary Airports Source: FAA.gov Table 1.1 Categories of Airport Activities Airport Classifications Hub Type: Percentage of Annual Passenger Enplanements Common Name Commercial Service: Publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger enplanements each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service Primary: Have more than 10,000 passenger enplanements each year Large: 1% or more Large Hub Medium: At least 0.25%, but less than 1% Medium Hub Small: At least 0.05%, but less than 0.25% Small Hub Nonhub: More than 10,000, but less than 0.05% Nonhub Primary Nonprimary Nonhub: At least 2,500 and no more than 10,000 Nonprimary Commercial Service Nonprimary (Except Commercial Service) Not Applicable Reliever General Aviation Source: FAA.gov 1. Airports and Master Plans Introduction McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Page 4 largest commercial airports in the national system. The AATF is funded by three components: passengers (tax on ticket sales), cargo (tax on shipping fees), and fuel (tax on fuels used by aircraft). Eligible projects include improvements which enhance airport safety, capacity, security, and address environmental concerns, and aviation demand at the airport must justify the projects. Eligible projects include pavement maintenance, runway construction, airfield lighting, land acquisition, planning studies, and automated weather observation stations (AWOS). Ineligible projects include such things as landscaping, marketing plans, improvements for commercial enterprises, and maintenance or repairs of buildings. Nonprimary entitlements are funds that are apportioned by formula to airports and may generally be used for any eligible airport improvement or planning project. Under the current legislation, a nonprimary entitlement of up to $150,000 per year is granted to smaller general aviation airports, such as McCall Municipal Airport. The nonprimary entitlement can be saved for up to three years for larger projects. If a project exceeds that amount, it may be eligible for state apportionment funds (money set aside for the state through the AIP program). If the project exceeds both the nonprimary and state apportionment funds available, or is a high priority, it can compete on a regional level for discretionary funds through the AIP program3. The Idaho Transportation Department, Division of Aeronautics (ITD Aeronautics) also contributes to airport development projects. Generally speaking, ITD Aeronautics funds are allocated to pavement maintenance projects and projects at nonprimary airports. Additionally, the state and local communities typically provide matching funds for eligible projects, while also supporting the airport with an operations and maintenance budget. 1.5 THE IMPORTANCE OF GENERAL AVIATION General aviation (GA) includes the manufacturing and operation of any type of aircraft that has been issued an airworthiness certificate by the FAA, other than aircraft used for scheduled commercial air service (airlines) or the U.S. Military. GA aircraft enable people, especially those in smaller communities and remote areas, to access the aviation system in order to move quickly and efficiently across the country for business and pleasure. General aviation is extremely important because it touches many sectors of the economy from medical evacuations and patient transport to corporate jets and business use, as well as outdoor enthusiasts and recreational hobbyists. The Regional Input-Output Modeling System (RIMS-II), is a regional economic model created by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. It is a tool used by investors, planners, and elected officials to objectively assess the potential economic impacts of various projects. This model produces multipliers used in economic impact studies to estimate the total impact of a project on a region. Based on RIMS-II, every $1.00 generated on a general aviation airport results in an average of $2.53 generated in the community it serves. This is a cascading effect, creating local jobs and payroll. Many airports with fewer than 10,000 annual operations produce economic impacts exceeding the amount of money necessary to operate and maintain their facilities. An operation is the landing, take off, or touch-and-go Figure 1.3 Airport and Airway Trust Fund (2019) Source: FAA.gov 1. Airports and Master Plans Introduction Page 5McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan procedure by an aircraft on a runway at an airport. The general aviation industry, as a whole, generated a total of 1,179,200 jobs, $76.7 billion in payroll, and $246.8 billion in economic output in 20184. The United States is home to more than 19,000 airports, seaplane bases, heliports, and other landing facilities developed to provide communities with access to a safe and adequate public system of GA airports. Together these airports create a transportation infrastructure, providing local communities with access, goods, and services. AIP funding permits communities to have services which would be otherwise too costly to provide. In addition to the economic benefits, there are many qualitative benefits contributing to the overall value of airports. These qualitative benefits include activities for which dollar values cannot be readily assigned but are nonetheless valuable to the community by enhancing the quality of life, health, welfare, and safety of its citizens. For example, medical evacuation flights typically use general aviation airports because they are faster, easier on the patient, and less expensive. Helicopters are often used for aeromedical flights, however some of these flights, specifically, for neonatal patients, can only be conducted via fixed-wing aircraft due to the equipment needs. GA airports also provide a support network for disaster relief, and search and rescue efforts. For example, following the wake of Hurricane Katrina in the southern United States, general aviation airports served as staging areas for the Red Cross, National Guard, and other organizations providing disaster relief. In 2009, operators using general aviation airports accounted for an estimated 27 million flights for emergency medical services, aerial firefighting, law enforcement and border control, agricultural functions, flight training, time- sensitive air cargo services, business travel, and scheduled services. Overall, airports grant access to greater markets and provide unique and critical support to the local communities, businesses, and citizens5. 1.6 PILOT CERTIFICATES There are different types of pilot certificates which are earned based on a defined FAA standard of knowledge and performance competency. A pilot certificate, which is often referred to as a pilot’s license, grants the holder privileges and sets limitations appropriate to the type of certificate earned. There are six types of certificates which can be obtained in the U.S. 1. Student Pilot – This is the first step in earning any other certificate, and requires the holder to be at least 16 years of age, and have completed a physical examination which deemed the holder medically cleared to fly. Student pilot privileges are minimal, but with appropriate training and experience may fly the aircraft solo strictly to accomplish training requirements. 2. Sport Pilot – This certificate limits the user to light sport aircraft which is not defined on the certificate, but is an endorsement in the holder’s logbook received after appropriate training (e.g. airplane, rotorcraft, glider). Sport pilots are limited to a single passenger, flights during the day when visibility is greater than three miles, may not fly above 2,000 feet above the ground, or in any controlled airspace without training and an appropriate logbook endorsement. 3. Recreational Pilot – This certificate offers slightly more privileges than a sport pilot certificate in regard to the types of aircraft which can be flown, but still limits when and where the holder can fly. 4. Private Pilot – This is the most common pilot certificate for basic hobbyist flying or personal business without compensation. The training requirements are more intensive than that of the recreational or sport pilot, but with the associated increase of privileges. Private pilots are allowed to fly at night and in controlled airspace. Private pilots, like recreational and sport pilots, are not allowed to fly for commercial purposes and must not be compensated for pilot services, though passengers can pay a pro-rated share of flight costs. 1. Airports and Master Plans Introduction McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Page 6 5. Commercial Pilot – This certificate allows a pilot to be paid for their flying services, though compensation is still regulatory in nature. Commercial pilots must learn to fly complex aircraft, which by definition have a retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable-pitch propeller. Commercial flight training demands more precision and knowledge about professional flight operations; therefore this certificate reflects the pilot’s increase in aircraft knowledge, flying skills, and overall airmanship competency. 6. Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) – This is the most advanced pilot certificate that can be obtained and is necessary for those who want to fly charter or for a commercial operator. This certificate demands the highest level of piloting ability both in knowledge and practical competency. To be eligible for an ATP certificate, a pilot must have logged a minimum of 1,500 hours and be at least 23 years old. Pilot certificates should not be confused with ratings or endorsements, which are additional skill sets requiring training and performance competencies. Each pilot certificate has an accompanying category (e.g., airplane, rotorcraft, glider, etc.) and class (e.g., single- engine land, multi-engine land etc.) which further define the pilot’s flying capabilities. Additional ratings include, multi-engine, seaplane, helicopter, instrument, and flight instructor, to name a few. A logbook endorsement is a legal record of training, experience, and activity. An endorsement is received from a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) as validation a pilot has met requirements and competency for a particular skill. Endorsements include specific aircraft types like tailwheel and experimental, as well as performance-based skills such as spins and acrobatics, and additionally include knowledge based competencies and flight review information. In short, a certificate identifies legal privileges and limitations of the holder, ratings identify aircraft and specific skill- sets, and endorsements are a supplemental record of training and skills. Understanding the different types of pilot certificates, ratings, and endorsements aids in understanding the varying needs of airport users. These needs influence aviation demand, which in turn impact the facility requirements necessary to meet this demand. 1.7 AIRPORT MASTER PLANS An Airport Master Plan is a comprehensive study of an airport that describes short, medium, and long term development plans to meet future aviation demand. The elements of the master plan are guided by the FAA, though vary in detail and complexity depending upon the size, function, and issues of individual airports (see Figure 1.5). The elements provide a systematic approach, and build upon each other throughout the process. Master plans present a strategy for airport development by providing a framework to cost-effectively satisfy aviation demand while considering the potential safety, environmental, and socioeconomic impacts to users and the local community. Figure 1.4 Pilot Certificate Source: Epic Flight Academy 1. Airports and Master Plans Introduction Page 7McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Master Plans generally meet the following objectives: • Understand the issues, opportunities, and constraints. • Consider the impact of aviation trends. • Identify the capacity of existing airport infrastructure. • Determine need for airport improvements. • Estimate project costs and funding sources. • Develop a schedule for project implementation. • Obtain stakeholder and public input. 1.8 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Public input is highly encouraged throughout the planning process. Each master plan includes a public involvement program, and the amount of public involvement typically corresponds to the complexity of the airport and project. Effective public involvement connects numerous parties, including but not limited to: aircraft owners, hangar tenants, airport and businesses on airport property, public officials, governmental agencies, and the general public. The earlier public input is received, the easier it is to incorporate in the planning process. Public involvement programs are typically facilitated by the planning consultant and include multiple strategies, such as forming an Airport Master Plan Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of key stakeholders, local citizens, and decision makers. This group provides insight and input into issues that arise, as well as provides general information. Public workshops are another common public involvement element. These are typically held at public locations to inform the general public about the status of the airport and Master Plan process and to provide the public with access to the airport consultants and government officials. Other methods used to engage the public are user surveys and public awareness campaigns that utilize fliers, project websites, and newspaper articles. This master plan project began amidst the U.S. COVID-19 Pandemic where public gatherings were not possible. To promote the same level of public involvement and provide the community with the same information and opportunities, public meetings were initially moved to a virtual setting. For this project, more emphasis was placed on the project website, to include recorded presentations, a myriad of resources, and a location for the public to ask questions, provide comments, and encourage information sharing. For more details regarding public involvement efforts pertaining to this Master Plan, refer to Appendix A.

Airports and Master Plans Introduction McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Page 8 1.9 FAA DESIGN STANDARDS The FAA has established standards for the design and construction of airport facilities. There are design standards for nearly every facet of an airport, and these standards are presented in a collection of documents called Advisory Circulars (AC). Multiple ACs are pertinent to Airport Master Plans, notably AC 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans and AC 150/5300-13A, Airport Design. The first document details the requirements and guidance for Airport Master Plans. The second document contains the FAA standards and recommendations for the geometric layout and engineering design of runways, taxiways, aprons, and other airport facilities. CRITICAL AIRCRAFT An key determination of any master plan is the identification of the critical aircraft, discussed in more detail in Chapter 4, Forecast of Aviation Demand. This is the most demanding aircraft with at least 500 annual local operations and drives the FAA design standards to be applied at the airport. FAA CODES, CATEGORIES, AND GROUPS The FAA has developed a coding system to aid in defining airport design. There are several codes and groups which define the design elements, and are driven by the airport’s critical aircraft. Particularly important is the two part coding system which includes the Aircraft Approach Category (AAC) and Airplane Design Group (ADG). The AAC is designated by a letter (A through E) and is based off the approach speed of an aircraft. The ADG is identified by a Roman numeral (I through VI) and represents the tail height and wing span of an aircraft. The combination of the critical aircraft’s AAC and ADG (for example, A-I or B-II) signifies the Airport Reference Code (ARC). The ARC is the code representing the design standards to be applied at the airport. There are additional design codes which will be explained throughout the master plan. 1.10 SUMMARY A successful Airport Master Plan provides answers and explanations to a wide range of audiences including pilots, government officials, and the general public. A basic understanding of these concepts will help the reader to interpret this Airport Master Plan. Even small general aviation airport are complex entities. To plan for the future, consideration must be given to all aspects involving the airport: current facilities and infrastructure; airport users; local , state, and federal zoning regulations; regional socioeconomics; national and state aviation systems; and environmental considerations. These will be discussed throughout this Airport Master Plan study.

Socioeconomic Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SECTION OVERVIEW This chapter provides a general depiction of McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) and the surrounding area, including the City of McCall, Valley County, and the State of Idaho. This is accompanied by a broad description of the airport’s history, location, economic impact, and demographics. An analysis of a community's socioeconomic data serves to help establish the nature of the community and the market the airport serves, as well as provide specific data for the formulation of the aviation demand forecast. 2.1 AREA AND AIRPORT OVERVIEW CITY OF MCCALL The City of McCall is a vibrant resort town located on the southern shore of Payette Lake in Valley County, west central Idaho, and surrounded by the Payette National Forest. It is approximately 100 miles north of Boise along Idaho State Highway 55. The North Fork Payette River runs through the city, flowing south as it leaves Payette Lake. The city encompasses approximately 9 square miles and had an estimated population of 3,600 in 20191. McCall is the largest city in Valley County and is a destination for outdoor recreational activities. The history of McCall is linked with mining, fishing, logging, recreation, forestry, and commerce. Early inhabitants from the Northern Shoshone, Nez Perce, and Weiser tribes used the area during the summer months for fishing and hunting. They considered the lake to be a sacred and spiritual meeting place. The discovery of gold brought settlers into the area via the various trails. In the summer of 1889, Tom McCall and his family arrived at the south end of the lake and acquired the land rights from the only resident, Sam Devers, to establish a town that would eventually bear his name. Logging would become the backbone of McCall’s economy until 1977, as it provided jobs and materials needed to construct the town homes, hotels, and businesses. The U.S Forest Service has also had a historical presence in McCall, and remains so today with an established aerial firefighting and smokejumper base located at the airport2. Today, McCall’s economy and character revolves around tourism and the many outdoor activities offered year-round. Its location, small-town character, and amenities make it an attractive location for retirement and second home. With the highest average snowfall in Idaho, McCall is a haven for outdoor winter activities, such as snowmobiling, skiing, tubing, and hot springs. Area ski resorts boast a combined 2,600 skiable acres, featuring vertical drops ranging from 1,800 to 2,800 feet. McCall’s annual Winter Carnival has grown into an iconic Idaho event, bringing more than 60,000 visitors each year. In the summer, McCall’s warm sunny days and cool nights provide for outdoor music, art festivals, and lakeside activities. It is not uncommon for the population to triple during the summer months. Payette Lake is popular for Page 12 2. Socioeconomic Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan boating, sailing, jet skiing, and swimming. The North Fork of the Payette River provides a world-class whitewater playground for kayakers and canoers, and excellent opportunities to view wildlife. There also are numerous hiking and mountain biking trails in and around McCall, as well as five golf courses3. The City of McCall hosts several historic sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places in Idaho, mainly located downtown. One location is at the airport. A list of the historic places in McCall is shown in Table 2.1. VALLEY COUNTY Valley County is a rural county located in west central Idaho, covering approximately 3,664 square miles. It is the fifth largest county in Idaho by area, and bordering counties include Custer, Gem, Boise, Idaho, Adams, and Lemhi4. Established in 1917, Valley County was named after the Long Valley of the North Fork of the Payette River, which extends over 30 miles from Payette Lake at McCall, south to Cascade to Round Valley5. The valley was formerly a summer pasture for livestock from the Boise Valley. Since the completion of the Cascade Dam in 1948, much of the northern valley has been covered by the Cascade Reservoir. The population of Valley County was estimated at 11,392 in 2019. The county seat is Cascade, and the largest city is McCall. Like McCall, Valley County is well positioned for outdoor recreation. Located in the geographic center of Idaho, the terrain in the county is mostly high and rugged, ranging from rolling wooded plateaus to 10,000-foot peaks on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River6. The Boise, West, and Salmon River Mountains are the principal mountain chains in the county. 88 percent of Valley County is contained in portions of three National Forests: Boise, Payette, and Salmon-Challis. The Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness is also in Valley County, while the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area is located just west of the county in the Payette National Forest. Outdoor activities include hiking, mountain biking, Nordic skiing, whitewater rafting, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, off-roading, and more. MCCALL MUNICIPAL AIRPORT OVERVIEW McCall Municipal Airport is a public-use general aviation airport owned by the City of McCall7. The airport was established in 1926 when resident and member of the McCall Chamber of Commerce, Arthur Austin Goodman purchased 40 acres of land south of downtown McCall for use as a landing strip8. The original landing field ran northeast to southwest, generally along what is now the diagonal taxiway. In 1931, the City of McCall purchased the airport from Goodman for $630.00 at a time when mining production was increasing. In 1932, the Johnson Flying Service Hangar was constructed to support pilots transporting air mail and supplies to remote communities in the backcountry. In 1943, the U.S. Forest Service established a smokejumper program at the airport, which still exists today with two basedTwin Otter turboprop aircraft9. Today, the airport serves as “The Gateway to the Backcountry.” Table 2.1 City of McCall Historic Places Place Location Description Southern Idaho Timber Protective Association (SITPA) District 1001 State Street 8 buildings constructed in 1937: Statehouse, garage, pumphouse, machine shop, 3 storage sheds, long garage.

Socioeconomic Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan McCall Municipal Airport is located less than one mile south of downtown McCall, between Idaho State Highway 55 (South 3rd Street) and the North Fork Payette River in the southern part of the city limits. It encompasses 197 acres and the field elevation is 5,024.2 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL). Access to the airport by the general public is by Highway 55 on the east side of the airport and Deinhard Lane on the north side. Access to the U.S. Forest Service Smokejumper Base is via Mission Street on the west side of the airport. Mountain Community Transit operates a free public transit service for the City of McCall seven days per week from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, called the Red Line10. The Red Line passes by the airport along Highway 55 and circulates through downtown. A Green Line bus provides transit between McCall and Cascade Monday through Friday for a fee. The three-letter identifier for McCall Municipal Airport is MYL. The airport is served by a single runway, 16/34, that is 6,108 feet long and 75 feet wide. The weight-bearing capacity is published as 86,500 pounds for single wheel configuration for the main landing gear, 141,000 pounds for dual wheel, and 261,500 pounds for single tandem wheel configuration. Additional details about the characteristics of the airport are discussed in Chapter 3, Inventory. AIRPORT GOVERNANCE McCall Municipal Airport is owned and operated by the City of McCall and assisted by an Airport Advisory Committee. There are five members of the Airport Advisory Committee, appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by City Council. The responsibility of the Airport Advisory Committee is to advise the Airport Manager, City Manager, and the City Council on matters pertaining to airport planning and operations. Meetings are normally scheduled for the first Thursday of each month at noon in the American Legion Hall and are open to the public. AREA AIRPORTS As a general rule, a general aviation airport’s service area extends for 30 nautical miles. Boise Airport (BOI) is located 79 nautical miles from McCall Municipal Airport, and is the only commercial service airport within 100 nautical miles of McCall. There are nine other public-use airports within 30 nautical miles of McCall, along with several other non-public-use private airports. Of the public-use airports, Cascade and Council Airports are the only airports besides McCall that have paved runways. Only McCall offers published instrument approach procedures. Table 2.2 summarizes the other public-use airports in McCall’s service area.

Socioeconomic Overview and Background McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Figure 2.2 Vicinity Airports Page 16 2. Socioeconomic Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan IDAHO AVIATION OVERVIEW There are 302 aviation facilities in the State of Idaho as of May 21, 2020. Of those, 176 are private-use, while 126 are public-use. Of the 126 public-use airports, all but four are owned by a public entity, such as a city, county, state, or federal government. 75 of Idaho’s publicly-owned, public-use airports are included in the 2020 Idaho Airport System Plan (IASP), based on eligibility of funding, ownership, and levels of operations11. Out of the 75 airports in the IASP, only 37 are part of the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) for 2019-2023, and are eligible for federal funding assistance (NPIAS airports). The 38 remaining are non-NPIAS airports, and not eligible for federal funding, but are eligible for state funding. Of the 75 IASP airports, seven are commercial service airports and 68 are general aviation airports. The seven commercial service airports include Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field (BOI), Friedman Memorial (SUN), Idaho Falls Regional (IDA), Lewiston – Nez Perce County (LWS), Pocatello Regional (PIH), Pullman-Moscow Regional (PUW), and Joslin Field-Magic Valley Regional (TWF). There are 30 general aviation NPIAS airports in Idaho, three of which are in Valley County – McCall Municipal, Cascade, and Council Municipal. Another airport system known in Idaho is the Idaho Airstrip Network (IAN). According to the website, “The Idaho Airstrip Network is a group of airstrip owners including the U.S. Forest Service, BLM, Idaho Fish and Game, the Idaho Division of Aeronautics and a few private owners, along with several nonprofit aviation groups including the Idaho Aviation Association, Idaho Aviation Foundation and the Recreational Aviation Foundation, and other entities that have an interest in aviation such as Idaho Outfitters and Guides and the Idaho Department of Commerce. The group is held together by a Memorandum of Understanding and is managed by a steering committee and a part-time coordinator.” McCall Municipal Airport is a part of the IAN, and has a webcam that can be viewed from the website12. 2.2 AIRCRAFT ACCIDENTS The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency that investigates civil aviation accidents in the United States and maintains the Aviation Accident Database & Synopses. Using this database, the McCall Airport accident history, compiled since 1982, is presented in Table 2.3. There have been 17 accidents at McCall Municipal Airport, two of which were fatal. One incident was the result of an aircraft striking a deer while landing at night (SEA91LA176). This incident is the only wildlife strike reported in the FAA Wildlife Strike Database for MYL. All accidents recorded at the airport occurred under Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). VMC represents a regulatory weather condition in which pilots must have sufficient cloud clearance and visibility to fly. Figure 2.3 Idaho Airports Source: IASP Update Page 17 2.

Socioeconomic Overview and Background McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 2.4 ECONOMIC IMPACT OF MCCALL MUNICIPAL AIRPORT This section provides a general description of how general aviation, and general aviation airports contribute to local and regional economies. Data for this section was provided by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association’s (GAMA) Contribution of General Aviation to the US Economy in 2018, published February 19, 2020, and the Idaho Transportation Department’s 2020 Idaho Airport System Plan Update. In 2018, general aviation contributed 1,179,200 total jobs, $76.7 billion in labor income, and $246.8 billion in economic output to the U.S. economy. For the State of Idaho, general aviation contributed 9,100 jobs, $421 million in labor income, and $1.46 billion in economic output in 201813. According to the 2020 IASP Update, general aviation airports contribute 4,822 jobs, $233 million in labor income, and $1.037 billion in total economic output to the State of Idaho. McCall Municipal Airport contributes 307 jobs, $13.6 million in labor income, and $43.2 million in economic output. Table 2.5 below compares the economic impact of peer airports with MYL.

The City of McCall and Valley County were the focus of socioeconomic conditions, with some comparisons made to state and national conditions. FAA Advisory Circular 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans, states the economic characteristics of a community affect the demand for air traffic. The type of industries in an airport’s service area also affect aviation demand. For example, manufacturing and service industries tend to generate more aviation activity than resource industries such as agriculture. Additionally, the demographic characteristics of an area’s population affect the demand for aviation services. Demographic characteristics influence the level, composition, and growth of both local traffic and traffic from other areas, also known as itinerant traffic. One important demographic characteristic is the level of disposable income, usually measured on a per capita basis, which is a good indicator of propensity to travel, as well as use and general aviation aircraft ownership. Socioeconomic status is a specified measure of an individual, family, or group of people, used to draw comparisons between groups. Socioeconomic status is derived from the relative economic and sociological position compared Page 20 2. Socioeconomic Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan to other groups, such as income, wealth, education, and occupation. Demographic data is similar but distinct, typically describing a population, including items such as age and population size. Local socioeconomic conditions and demographics play a considerable role in the demand for air transportation services. As a simple example, the demographics of a large urban area, such as Seattle, indicate very large population base which correlates to a higher demand for commercial air service. Demographics associated with a smaller population base in a recreational destination area, such as McCall, may create a greater demand for air charter or scenic flying not directly associated with local population trends. The primary socioeconomic indicators examined for this master plan include population, household income, employment, education, and per capita income. These indicators provide insight into the financial strength and well- being of the local economy and historically correlate with the local level of aviation activity and aircraft ownership. Population and employment statistics assist in understanding the number of people and their ability to fulfill the employable positions that exist with businesses in the area. These socioeconomic indicators also give an indication of stability with respect to the cost of living, commerce, and industry. Per capita personal income reflects the average annual monetary wage per head of household. High per capita personal income in an area is usually a good indicator for greater aviation demand, as higher income populations are more likely to own and fly aircraft. An increase in discretionary income would result in an increased demand for business and leisure air travel. Aviation demand in an airport’s market often correlates with population. As of the 2010 Census, the total population of McCall was 2,991, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.34% since 1970. Valley County had a population of 9,862 as of the 2010 Census, with a CAGR of 2.54% since 1970. Figure 2.4 shows the population of McCall and Valley County between 1970 and 2010. Figure 2.5 shows the estimated population in McCall and Valley County according to the U.S. Census 2018 population estimates, which fills the gap since the last decennial census (2010). The 2020 decennial census was underway at the time of this master plan. The graphic shows a 9-year CAGR for McCall increasing at a rate of 2.2%, while the CAGR for Valley County increases at a rate of 1.7%. This is the opposite of the historic population rates between 1970 and 2010, where the county grew at a faster rate than McCall. - 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Po p u l a t i o n McCall Valley County Figure 2.4 Historical Populations Source: U.S. Census Bureau Page 21 2.

Socioeconomic Overview and Background McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Figure 2.9 illustrates median household income for McCall, Valley County, and the United States based on U.S. Census 2018 estimates. Median household income is the amount that divides income into two groups, half receiving income above that amount, and half receiving income below that amount. McCall falls below the county, state, and U.S. in this category, mainly due to the influx of retirees with less direct income, and employees who live elsewhere. Per Capita Income (PCI) is the average income of the people in an economic unit, such as a county or city in a given year. It is calculated by taking a measure of all sources of income in the aggregate and dividing it by the total population. PCI is used to gauge the comparative economic wellbeing of residents in a specified region. Changes over time in per capita growth or decline have economic, social, and political repercussions. Counties with smaller populations are more likely to experience substantial fluctuations for several reasons including bumper crops, natural disaster, and major state or federal projects. Per Capita Income is one of the most widely used indicators for gauging the economic performance and changing fortunes of local economies. The PCI for McCall, Valley County, Idaho, and the United States is displayed in Figure 2.10. As shown, the PCI for McCall and Valley County are higher than the State of Idaho, but lower than the United States. $42,112 $55,299 $55,583 $61,937 $0 $10,000 $20,000 $30,000 $40,000 $50,000 $60,000 $70,000 McCall Valley County Idaho United States Do l l a r s Figure 2.9 Median Household Income Source: U.S. Census Bureau Page 24 2.

As such, the local economy revolves around services provided to tourists visiting and staying in McCall, as well as using McCall as a stepping point toward their venture into the backcountry. Figure 2.11 illustrates this point by showing a high percentage of employment for McCall residents in the arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation industry when compared to the county, state, and U.S. Also noteworthy is the employment in health care, education, and social services. St. Luke’s McCall Medical Center is located in downtown McCall, which is a service not usually afforded to such small towns. The service has been such success and benefit to the community, an expansion was approved in 2019. Page 25 2.

As discussed in this chapter, McCall is a vibrant resort town with access to a wide array of outdoor activities. Seasonal residents and recreational visitors provide a strong customer base for local businesses, who may eventually retire and become permanent residents. While the population in McCall has been increasing steadily, seasonal and daily fluctuations can triple the number of people within the city limits during peak recreational periods. McCall’s population is characterized as a more seasoned and educated group, a reflection of the large number of retirees, and places a high value on maintaining the mountain character and small town feel of McCall.

Socioeconomic Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan PAGE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY Page 29 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SECTION OVERVIEW The inventory of existing facilities details the natural and physical environment, as well as the airside and landside facilities of McCall Municipal Airport. The information herein will provide the essential background information used throughout this Airport Master Plan, and provide basic information which will assist in the development of the forecast and facility requirements. Information for the existing airport and surrounding area was collected through several sources, including site visits, historical studies, airport personnel, the Fixed Base Operator (FBO), airport tenants and users, the FAA, ITD Aeronautics, and numerous online research portals. 3.1 NATURAL ENVIRONMENT TOPOGRAPHY An analysis of area topography provides insight to the types of natural and artificial features, to include the types of surfaces, which may be encountered during projects. Topography includes not only the natural landscapes such as bodies of water, mountains, and valleys, but all man-made features as well. Although topography, by definition, is a study of the surface of the earth, it can influence weather patterns, and can help predict seasonal changes in wind patterns and precipitation. The City of McCall is in the High Glacial Drift-Filled Valley ecoregion. This ecoregion contains terraced, outwash plains, moraines, wetlands, and rugged hills which are not densely forested. Natural and original landscapes include bunchgrass and mountain big sagebrush in drier soils, and lodgepole pine and ponderosa pine in valley floors. Winters in this region are cold and snowy and the area receive large amounts of runoff in the spring from mountain snow. In the summer, pastures are used for livestock and cropland1. As can be seen in Figures 3.1 and 3.2, McCall Municipal Airport is located on a relatively flat and level valley floor with some sloping terrain to the south of airport property. The airport is within miles of foothills for several ridges and is quickly surrounded by the mountainous terrain of the Payette National Forest. Page 30 3.

Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan VEGETATION Valley County, and the City of McCall are located near the center of the Payette National Forest. Forested areas are home to ponderosa pine and douglass-fir, and at higher elevations grand fir, lodgepole and spruce trees can be found. Idaho fescue, bluebunch wheatgrass, sagebrush, and bitterbrush are the primary local shrubberies, and the area is scattered with a variety of wildflowers2. The 2012 USDA Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a specific location. The USDA identifies McCall as being in the hardiness zone 5a, meaning the average minimum temperature extreme is -20 to -15°F3. Vegetation immediately surrounding the Airport is scattered with low lying shrubberies, grasses, and wildflowers. Outside of the cleared area are scattered low density clusters of trees. Figure 3.4 Airport Vicinity Vegetation Page 34 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan CLIMATE The climate for the City of McCall is defined as dry-summer continental climate. This means the region experiences cold snowy winters, and warm dry summers. The average annual high temperature for McCall is 54°F, and the average annual low is 27°F. The average maximum temperature for the hottest month of the year is 80°F occurring in July. Average annual rainfall is 42 inches, and snowfall is 138 inches. As shown in Figure 3.5, the wettest months start in January, taper down throughout the summer months, then increase through the fall and winter to peak in December4. WIND COVERAGE The FAA advises that the primary runway at an airport be oriented in the direction of the prevailing wind. The most desirable runway orientation is based on the largest wind coverage with the minimum crosswind. By aligning the runway with the predominant wind there is an increase in operational safety due to the aerodynamic design of an aircraft. A crosswind is a wind which is not parallel with the runway, and wind coverage is the percentage of time a crosswind is below an acceptable speed. Thus, properly aligning a runway provides the best wind coverage and allows for safer operations at individual airports. A wind analysis is completed to ensure the existing runway meets the FAA defined minimum wind coverage of 95%. If the primary runway does not meet this coverage, a crosswind runway may be recommended. Aircraft are capable of taking off and landing with a crosswind though this greatly depends on the velocity of the crosswind, the particular aircraft, and the skill of the pilot. Generally, the smaller the aircraft, the more it is affected by a crosswind, and this factor is considered as part of runway orientation and design. The selected AAC and ADG as discussed in Chapter 1, are combined with the runway approach and visibility minimums to form the Runway Design Code (RDC) for a particular runway. The defined RDC drives the design standards for the runway and includes an Figure 3.5 City of McCall Climate Graph Source: U.S. Climate Data - McCall Page 35 3.

Therefore, the acceptable crosswind component for a runway is appropriate for the aircraft which regularly use the runway, see Table 3.2. On the following page are three wind roses for McCall Municipal Airport. A wind rose is a graphical representation of wind in terms of the direction the wind is blowing from, wind strength, and percentage of time. Wind data is unique to a geographical location; therefore, a wind rose represents data collected over a certain period of time, in a particular location. The downloaded wind data contained wind direction and speed for every year, for the past 10 years. A total of 112,916 observations were included in the all-weather wind rose, 29,566 for the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) wind rose, and 88,496 for the Visual Flight Rules (VFR) wind rose. It is important to analyze data for all conditions in order to ensure adequate runway coverage under all meteorological conditions. Based on this wind analysis, Runway 16/34 at McCall Municipal Airport maintains greater than 95% wind coverage for all weather scenarios and does not exceed the allowable crosswind component for any RDC category.

This view offers clarity for wind direction and strength. The All Weather Overlay, Figure 3.9, includes 118,062 observations and shows the predominant wind blowing directly parallel to Runway 16/34. Although there is some crosswind from the south and west, the speed of the crosswind remains below the acceptable limits for the RDC.

Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 3.2 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AIRPORT AREA ZONING Land use in the vicinity of the airport can have an impact on the operations and growth potential. As stated, the airport is owned by the City of McCall and therefore they are obligated to ensure compatible land use around the airport as part of the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grant Assurance #21, Compatible Land Use (see Chapter 10, Planning for Compliance. By understating typical issues surrounding the airport, appropriate land use planning can be carried forward through the planning horizon. Figure 3.12 depicts city zoning and land use around the Airport. The airport is zoned AP, with associated airport zones not pictured in the figure. Within the AP zone is the Airport Perimeter Zone (APP), which includes the land 150 feet from the interior edge of the AP zone. The Airport Internal Zone (API), includes all other land that is internal to the APP zone. Much of the zoning around the southern half of the Airport is Rural Residential (RR), intending for single family homes on significant acreage. The maximum density per lot is one dwelling per 10 acres. R4 zoning located at the northwest corner of the airport limits four dwelling per acre. Community commercial (CC) zoning is adjacent to the northeast of the airport. This zoning allows mixed establishments to include retail, service, or automobile establishments, and 40 dwellings per acre are permitted. Industrial zoning (I) exists on the northwest side of the airport, and zoning here permits various land uses to include business parks, and other industrial uses which will support the diversification of the economy. Civic Use (CV) zoning around the airport includes governmental facilities, or cultural and recreational facilities5. Land use and zoning go hand in hand. In addition to city zoning, Figure 3.12 shows future land uses around the airport. Land use is anticipated to continue to be developed based on what is permitted within the existing zones. Page 40 3.

Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan AIRSPACE AND APPROACHES In the United States there are two categories of airspace; regulatory airspace which is governed by the FAA, and non-regulatory airspaces for special uses associated with military operations or national security. Within these two categories there are four different types to include controlled, uncontrolled, special use, and other airspace. For the purpose of this study, the important airspace types to note are controlled and uncontrolled. See Figure 3.13 for a breakdown of FAA airspace. Airspace exists to apply specific regulations appropriate for the types and quantity of operations occurring in a specific area. Airspace surrounding large cities and busy commercial service airports will be highly regulated, as opposed to airspace in sparsely populated areas or remote airports. The airspace surrounding McCall is designated uncontrolled, Class G airspace, at the surface. Despite being uncontrolled, the FAA mandates pilots abide by specific cloud clearance and visibility requirements to legally fly in this airspace. At 700 feet above the ground, the airspace transitions to controlled, Class E airspace. At this altitude, air traffic control (ATC) services are available, and a higher standard of cloud clearance and visibility requirements are in place. Figure 3.14 McCall Municipal Airport Airspace Source: Skyvector.com Figure 3.13 National Airspace System Page 42 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan The Airport has two instrument approach procedures, RNAV (GPS) RWY 16, and RNAV (GPS) RWY 34. Instrument approaches are maintained by the FAA with the purpose of providing properly equipped aircraft the ability to land at airports when meteorological conditions are less than the defined visual condition. Instrument procedures may be utilized under both VMC or IMC, with proper coordination with ATC. Figure 3.14 Instrument Approach Procedure Runway 16 NOT FOR NAVIGATION Source: Skyvector.com Page 43 3.

Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan In addition to instrument approach procedures, McCall Municipal Airport has a single instrument departure procedure, which provides a transition for departing aircraft to join the network of instrument airways in the FAA national airspace system. Figure 3.16 Instrument Departure Procedure NOT FOR NAVIGATION Source: Skyvector.com Page 45 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 3.3 AIRSIDE AND LANDSIDE INVENTORY Airside is defined by the FAA as the portion of the airport that contains the facilities necessary for the operation of aircraft. Typically, this includes three elements, the runway, taxiways, and apron areas, and includes all support infrastructure necessary to make those elements operational, (e.g., signage, markings, navigational aids). Landside is conversely defined as areas and operations on the airport which are not airside elements. Landside is typically referred to in terms of passenger-processing, and possible maintenance or freight support. For the purposes of this study, landside will refer to airport access, automobile parking, and any non-aviation related activities. RUNWAY McCall Municipal Airport is served by a single runway, 16/34, which is 6,108 feet long and 75 feet wide. Runway 16 has a 50-foot blast pad which is appropriate marked. The runway surface is asphalt and has a weight bearing capacity of 86,000 pounds single wheel, 141,000 pounds double wheel, and 261,000 pounds single tandem. The runway is appropriately marked with nonprecision markings. Although there is precision instrument approach for Runway 34, the minimum visibility for that approach is higher than the minimum visibility required for precision runway markings. The runway is equipped with Medium Intensity Runway Lighting (MIRL). These lights outline the runway and are white for the primary length of the runway, then turn to amber for the last 2,000 feet (Figure 3.18). The lights marking the end of the runway are called runway end lights, or threshold lighting (Figure 3.19). These lights emit red toward the runway identifying the end of the runway for departing aircraft, and green outward from the runway end to indicate the runway threshold for landing aircraft. The runway lighting is pilot controlled, meaning the lights are defaulted to be off, and pilots have the ability to turn them on from the aircraft. This is done by the pilot clicking the radio transmit button a series of times on the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF); the lights will remain on for 15 minutes once activated. Page 46 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan In addition to the MIRLS, each runway end is equipped with Runway End Identifier Lights (REILS). These lights provide rapid identification of the runway end and consist of two flashing white lights on each side of the runway threshold. The lights flash outwards towards the approach path of the runway, and the flash provides an easily identified contrast to any surrounding lights or terrain6. Figure 3.20 REILS Figure 3.18 Runway Edge Lights Figure 3.19 Runway End Lights Page 47 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Each runway end has a visual slope indicator for the purpose of assisting incoming traffic obtain an appropriate approach angle for landing on the runway. Runway 16 has a 2-light Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI), however, due to numerous trees located on private residences in the approach path, the PAPI is permanently out of service. Runway 34 has a 2-box Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI). Both systems emit red and white lights, with changing patterns depending on the approach angle of the incoming aircraft. These lights are visible for approximately 3-5 miles during the day and up to 20 miles at night7. Figure 3.21 Runway 16 PAPI Figure 3.22 Runway 34 VASI Page 48 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan TAXIWAY Taxiways at airports provide a designated path for aircraft movement connecting the runway to the apron, hangars, and support facilities. McCall Municipal Airport has a full parallel taxiway, Taxiway A, on the east side of the runway. The taxiway was newly constructed in 2020, and is 50 feet wide with 300 feet of clearance from the runway centerline. The taxiway has a total of five runway connectors starting with A1 at runway end 16 through A5 at runway end 34. There is a partial parallel taxiway on the west side of the runway, designated Taxiway B, connecting the runway to the USFS air tanker base. NAVIGATIONAL AIDS Navigational Aids (NAVAIDs) are electronic and visual air navigation aids including lights, signs, and associated supporting equipment. These increase navigational efficiency throughout the airspace system, as well as provide vital information to pilots maneuvering around airports. McCall Municipal Airport does not maintain a NAVAID for the purposes of an instrument approach, however, there is a Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR) located approximately 10 miles to the southwest of the Airport. A VOR broadcasts a VHF radio signal, which allows aircraft to navigate using directional magnetic bearings emitted from the facility. In the case of McCall, the VOR is not associated with an instrument approach, but is operational and can provide distance and radial information from the facility. The Airport maintains other visual NAVAIDS in addition to the runway and taxiway lighting and signage discussed previously in this chapter, and include the airport beacon, segmented circle, and lighted windcone. Figure 3.23 Taxiway A1 Connector Figure 3.24 TaxiwayA5 Connector Page 49 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Airport beacons are rotating omni-directional lights, mounted on tall towers and indicate the location of a lighted airport. In the United States there are different classifications of airports which are identified with different beacon colors and flashing light patterns emitted from the rotating beacon. The airport classifications are land, water, heliport, military, and hospital or emergency services heliport. At McCall Municipal Airport, the beacon flashes alternating white and green identifying it as a lighted, land airport. The beacon is in operation from sunset to sunrise, and when ground visibility is less than three miles. The Airport is equipped with a segmented circle and lighted wind cone located east of the parallel taxiway, towards runway end 16. The segmented circle acts as a central location for easy identification of the wind cone, and aids in controlling the traffic pattern direction for incoming aircraft. The segmented circle identifies a standard left-hand traffic pattern for both runway ends. The segmented circle and wind cone were replaced in 2020 as part of the taxiway relocation project.

Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan WEATHER INFORMATION Weather information at the Airport is provided by an on-site Automated Surface Observation System (ASOS). The ASOS provides hourly observations, with additional reports in the event weather changes rapidly. Conditions reported are wind direction and strength, to include gusts and wind shifts, pressure altitude, visibility, cloud layers and condition (i.e., scattered, broken, overcast). ASOS information can be obtained in an aircraft on frequency 119.925, or by telephone at 208-634-5947, as well as through several online flight planning and weather reporting websites. APRON The apron for McCall Municipal Airport is located on the north eastern corner of the airport. The apron has a total of 110 open tie-downs; 97 for small aircraft, 8 medium, and 5 for large aircraft with an additional area for large helicopters or seasonal overflow. West of the overflow parking area is a compass rose used to calibrate the magnetic compass in an aircraft (Figure 3.31). Figure 3.28 ASOS Figure 3.29 Apron and Tie-Down Area Page 51 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Figure 3.31 Compass Rose Figure 3.30 Large Helicopter/Overflow Parking BASED AIRCRAFT According to McCall Municipal Airport’s FAA 5010 Master Record dated May 21, 2020, there are a total of 74 based aircraft to include 77 single-engine, 8 multi-engine aircraft, and a helicopter. The airport manager continually maintains an internal based aircraft inventory. The 2020 inventory lists 95 based aircraft. For the purpose of this study, the Airport’s internal inventory is assumed to be the most accurate and will be used for further exploration in the forecast. PAVEMENT CONDITION Pavements at airports are routinely surveyed by the state transportation department, and result in a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score. The PCI scores range from 0-100 with 0 representing failing conditions, and 100 identifying perfect conditions. The score acts as a general gauge for operational condition. Typically, the range between 50-80 indicated the window where rehabilitation is needed. A PCI score lower than 50 is no longer a candidate for rehabilitation and requires complete reconstruction. Page 52 3. Inventory of Existing Conditions McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan ITD Aeronautics tracks pavement conditions of Idaho’s airports. This allows ITD to determine priority across the state’s airports in determining the need for rehabilitation and maintenance. As can be seen from Figure 3.32, pavement conditions vary throughout the Airport. The majority of the pavement is between fair and good condition, however some areas do exist with a score less than 50 requiring complete reconstruction8.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SECTION OVERVIEW This chapter will analyze the existing aviation activity at McCall Municipal Airport, and using approved forecasting methodologies, determine a realistic forecast of aviation demand. This analysis will determine a baseline of activity for the year 2020, and provide short (5 year), medium (10 year), and long (20 year) term projections. 4.1 FORECAST ELEMENTS The forecast of future aviation activity at the airport is the foundation for effective airport planning and development. By understanding the realistic outlook of activity, it will allow the sponsor to justifiably plan for future growth, including anticipated infrastructure development needs, and a timeline for which development needs should be met. FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans, and FAA Order 5090.5, Formulation of the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) and Airports Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP), states that forecasts should be: ®Realistic ®Based on the most recent data available ®Be supported by information in the study ®Reflect the current and anticipated future conditions at the airport ®Provide adequate justification for airport planning and development In following FAA guidance, the forecast process is divided into seven elements: Step 1. Identify aviation activity parameters and measures to forecast Step 2. Collect and review previous airport forecasts Step 3. Gather data Step 4. Select forecast methods Step 5. Apply forecast methods and evaluate results Step 6. Summarize and document results Step 7. Compare airport planning forecast results with TAF The final component of this analysis will be to identify the existing design or critical aircraft for McCall Municipal Airport. The FAA defines the critical aircraft as the most demanding aircraft, or family grouping of aircraft, which regularly operate at the airport. Regular use is further defined as at least 500 operations, either local or itinerant, excluding touch-and-go operations a year. The forecasted critical aircraft will be approved by the FAA and will be based on observed data obtained during the study. Page 60 4. Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan The determination of the critical aircraft and the approved forecast will become the foundation for future airport planning and design. This is not a choice of the Airport Sponsor, community, or FAA, it is determined from actual operations, and approved forecast methodologies. Additionally, it should be realized there are always short- and long-term fluctuations in airport activity, but history has shown the aviation industry to be resilient. Aviation trends are cyclical in nature and tend follow the economy. These cycles in activity should be anticipated, but the degree of impact and timeline cannot be predicted. The forecast provided herein will provide the framework and justification needed for future airport development. 4.2 IDENTIFY AVIATION ACTIVITY PARAMETERS The first element in the forecast is to determine the types of aviation activity that can affect the facility needs of the airport. Fleet mix, annual operations and based aircraft are the primary factors for airfield planning and development, as these are what define the runway and taxiway design standards. Commercial service airports have additional activities to consider such as such as passenger levels, and enplanements. As discussed in Chapters 1 and 2, MYL is a general aviation airport which is used by a variety of operators ranging from private and recreational, to business, charter, and seasonal firefighting. McCall Municipal Airport is not expected to receive scheduled commercial service throughout the planning period. In understanding the types of aviation activity occurring at the airport, the baseline will specify the actual fleet mix and annual operations, as well as the existing based aircraft fleet mix and quantity. This data provides the critical information used in forecasting future levels of demand at the airport. Due to the seasonal variations in activity, a peak period forecast will also be provided. A significant increase in operations beginning in the spring, and continue through the fall season occur due to the U.S. Forest Service firefighting and smoke jumper base, an increase in recreational and backcountry flights, and the fact the McCall is a resort town and sees an influx in tourists during the warm summer months.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 4.3 FORECAST METHODOLOGIES FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans, details the approved forecast methodologies. There are several techniques available, and acceptable methodologies may include a combination of, or additional techniques as deemed appropriate. FAA guidance dictates that a forecast includes multiple techniques for comparative purposes. This study will explore the following forecasting methodologies in addition to the comparison with the FAA Terminal Area Forecast (TAF): Socioeconomic Regression Analysis: This methodology utilizes the local economy to develop a relationship between the social and economic trends to aviation trends. A correlation can be made between the local statistical economics, and the forecast of annual operations, fleet mix, and based aircraft. Trend Analysis: The Trend Analysis uses historical trends and projects them into the future over the planning period. Comparison with Peer Airports: This technique compares McCall Municipal Airport to peer airports of the relative size and characteristics in the same region. Because of the similarities regional setting and activity, a comparison of forecasts can be made and applied to MYL. 4.4 AVIATION INDUSTRY TRENDS The aviation industry is intrinsically linked to the economy and experiences the same fluctuations on a global level. The FAA uses models built on economic forecasting to produce the FAA Aerospace Forecast, which breaks down the industry from U.S. airlines, to general aviation, as well as unmanned aircraft systems, and commercial space. The current FAA Aerospace Forecast for FY2020-2040 was released just as the Coronavirus (COVID-19) was gaining attention. It is unknown exactly what the long-term impacts will be on aviation, following a sharp and deep decline in airline travel across the world in April 2020. FAA GENERAL AVIATION FORECAST The FAA conducts annual general aviation activity surveys to establish a baseline for fleet size and hours flown. The forecast of aircraft deliveries comes from data released by the General Aviation Manufactures Association (GAMA), in addition to assumptions of retirement rates of fleet categories. The results of the 2020-2040 General Aviation Forecast revealed the long-term general aviation outlook is relatively stable, with a 0.9% decrease in GA fleet expected throughout the planning period. The fixed wing piston fleet is expected to decline at an average annual rate of -1.0% due to unfavorable pilot demographics, increased cost of ownership, lower cost alternatives for recreational usage, and retirement of an aging fleet. This decline is offset by an increase in turbine, experimental, and light sport aircraft. Additionally, an increase of 2.3% annual growth is expected for the turbojet fleet, all which is due to steady growth in both GDP and corporate profits. See Figure 4.1. Page 62 4. Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Despite the decline in fleet, the number of general aviation hours flown is projected to increase by 0.7% annually during the same period, as newer aircraft fly more hours each year. Fixed wing piston hours are expected to decrease at the same rate of the fleet decline; however, growth in turbine, rotorcraft, and experimental hours more than offset a decline in fixed wing piston hours. Turbine aircraft (including rotorcraft) are forecast to increase 2.2% yearly between 2019 and 2040. Jet aircraft are expected to account for most of the increase, with hours flown increasing at an average annual rate of 2.7% over the forecast period. The large increases in jet hours result mainly from the increasing size of the business jet fleet. GA hours flown are depicted in Figure 4.21. Figure 4.1 GA Aircraft Fleet Mix Source: FAA Aerospace Forecast 2020--40 Page 63 4. Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan IDAHO GENERAL AVIATION TRENDS The 2020 Idaho Airport System Plan (IASP) Update provides a forecast for both commercial service airports, and general aviation airports for a 20-year horizon beginning in 2017. The forecast examines enplanement (for commercial service airports), based aircraft, and annual operations. Data used in the IASP Update forecast comes from the FAA Aerospace Forecast, the FAA Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) as well as individual airport reporting. Two methodologies were explored to estimate based aircraft through the year 2037 including: • Population Growth methodology (Option 1): which uses Idaho’s current and projected population growth by county to apply to the baseline for based aircraft at the airport(s) in the county with the assumption that the based aircraft growth rate will mirror the population growth rate through the forecast years. For McCall Municipal Airport, a population growth rate of 1.3% was used. • Based Aircraft by Type methodology (Option 2): which uses each individual airport’s reported 2017 based aircraft by type and then applies a projected annual growth rate on the type of based aircraft at the airport and what is projected by the FAA in terms of growth for the different active aircraft fleet types on the national level. For McCall Municipal Airport, a growth rate of 1.0% was used. The IASP compared the two methodologies, and Based Aircraft by Type Methodology (Option 2) was selected as the preferred forecast because it uses the FAA forecast growth rates for active aircraft by type. The forecast produced by Option 2 will be used for comparative purposes detailed later in this chapter. Figure 4.2 GA Hours Flown Source: FAA Aerospace Forecast 2020--40 Page 64 4. Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan The IASP compared the two methodologies, and Based Aircraft by Type Methodology (Option 2) was selected as the preferred forecast because it uses the FAA forecast growth rates for active aircraft by type. The forecast produced by Option 2 will be used for comparative purposes detailed later in this chapter. • Two methodologies were also used to examine forecasted annual operations through the year 2037. The methodologies focus on different indicators influencing GA operation growth patterns in the future. Operations Per Based Aircraft (OPBA) Methodology (Option 1): which determines a ratio between the number of operations and the number of based aircraft, generally reflecting a relationship between the number of annual aircraft operations and the number of aircraft based at an airport. For McCall Municipal Airport, the OPBA was 352 with a growth rate of 1.0% (from the prior selected based aircraft methodology). • ARC Category Growth Rate Method (Option 2): which uses the airport’s ARC identified from the Airport Inventory and Survey Data Form and designates a specific growth rate to them. For McCall Municipal Airport, a growth rate of 0.8% was used for the ARC B-II aircraft. Again, the results were compared and the ARC Category Growth Rate Method (Option 2) was selected as the preferred forecast method because it represents a more conservative growth trend. Option 2 will be used for comparative purposes detailed later in this chapter. 4.5 LOCAL DATA TFMSC FLIGHT PLAN DATA The FAA’s Traffic Flow Management System Counts (TFMSC) provides information on aircraft traffic counts by airport or by city pair for various data groupings, such as aircraft type or by hour of the day. It includes data for flights that fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and are captured by the FAA’s enroute computers. Most VFR and some non-enroute IFR traffic are excluded. TFMSC source data is created when pilots file flight plans and/or when flights are detected by the National Airspace System (NAS), usually via radar. Filing a flight plan is not required for non-air carrier flights, so flight plans associated with smaller airports such as McCall are limited. Flight plans are commonly filed for poor weather conditions and by corporate and charter flight operators. As such, more demanding aircraft using McCall Municipal Airport will likely be captured by TFMSC data. Smaller general aviation traffic will likely not be captured by TFMSC data since they are not likely to file a flight plan or will self-file with a trusted friend or family member with their intended route and schedule. Nonetheless, TFMSC data will be an important factor in determining the critical aircraft and fleet mix operating at McCall Municipal Airport. According to the TFMSC data for calendar year 2019, 829 flight plans were filed to MYL and 794 were filed from MYL for a total of 1,623 operations. Figure 4.3 illustrates the total flight plans filed for MYL by month for 2019. August had the most flight plans filed, followed by July, September, and June. February and November had the fewest flight plans filed. Page 65 4. Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Another piece of data provided from TFMSC data is the total and average departure and arrival seats of the aircraft with flight plans. In 2019, the total arrival seats for MYL was 5,985, with an average of 7 seats. Figures 4.4 and 4.5 below show the total arrival seats and average arrival seats for 2019 by month. The total seat graph shows a similar pattern to the total operations graph in Figure 4.3. Average seats by month ranged between 6 and 8, which is representative of small to medium size jets and turboprops such as the Cessna Citation 560 and Beechcraft King Air 200.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan TFMSC FLEET MIX BY AIRPORT REFERENCE CODE (ARC) AND AIRCRAFT TYPE TFMSC flight plan data from 2019 provided a breakdown of the fleet mix by aircraft type, Aircraft Approach Category (AAC), and Airplane Design Group (ADG). This information will be a primary source in verifying the existing critical aircraft ARC, which is B-II, and determining the future critical aircraft ARC, as it is assumed the most demanding aircraft using MYL are on flight plans. As mentioned in the previous section, in 2019 there were a total of 1,623 operations by filed flight plans. Table 4.2 and Figure 4.6 show the fleet mix breakdown by total numbers and percentage for Aircraft Approach Category.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan TERMINAL AREA FORECAST The Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) is the official FAA forecast of aviation activity for U.S. airports. It contains active airports in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) including FAA-towered airports, federal contract-towered airports, non-federal towered airports, and non-towered airports. Forecasts are prepared for major users of the National Airspace System (NAS) including air carrier, air taxi/commuter, general aviation, and military. The forecasts are prepared to meet the budget and planning needs of the FAA and provide information for use by state and local authorities, the aviation industry, and the public. The current TAF was published in January of 2020. For this study, historic TAF data will be reviewed for 2010-2019 and projected TAF data will be reviewed for 2020-2040. Table 4.7 shows the TAF Operations and Based Aircraft data for McCall Municipal Airport from 2010 to 2040. Estimates are noted with an asterisk. Historic operations between 2010 and 2019 show an annual growth rate increase of 0.28%, while the based aircraft totals show an annual growth rate decrease of 0.24%.

With respect to peer airports, McCall performed better than average in itinerant operations and based aircraft, but slightly less than average in local operations. There does not appear to be consistency when comparing MYL with regional and national airport trends. There is some consistency when comparing MYL to peer airport operations, but not based aircraft. As such, historic growth rate for MYL should be considered as a viable forecast methodology, COVID-19 impacts notwithstanding.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan POPULATION GROWTH RATE COMPARISONS WITH THE TAF At the local level, aviation activity can be analyzed through a socioeconomic evaluation of the city and county that are in the airport’s service area to see if there is a correlation. Chapter 2 thoroughly discusses the socioeconomics of the City of McCall and Valley County, and certain indicators are more important than others at determining aviation trends. We will compare population trends from Chapter 2 with the TAF historic data and projections to see if a correlation exists. U.S. Census population estimates for 2010-2019 show an annual growth rate of 2.2% for the City of McCall, and an annual growth rate of 1.7% for Valley County. Table 4.12 below compares those population growth rates with the TAF historic growth rates for 2010-2019 for operations and based aircraft at MYL. While operations increased, the rate was considerably lower than the population growth rates for McCall and Valley County. TAF projections for operations are close to the historic population growth rate for the City of McCall, although the historic operations do not support such an optimistic projected growth rate. Based aircraft decreased as population increased during the same time period. For operations and based aircraft, population growth rates appear to be a poor candidate for use as a forecast methodology.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan VALLEY COUNTY ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE COMPARISON WITH THE TAF Woods & Poole Economics historical information for Valley County was reviewed for economic performance related to employment, earnings, gross regional product, and personal income for the period between 2010 to 2018. There was no estimate for 2019. The growth rates associated with these economic performance metrics were compared to the historic TAF information for MYL during the same period to see if there was a correlation. The results are shown in Table 4.13 below. All economic performance measures showed an increase, while aircraft operations remained flat, and based aircraft decreased. As such, it appears positive economic growth did not translate into increased operational activity at the airport. Socioeconomic growth rates will not be carried forward for use as a forecast methodology for MYL. 2020 YEAR TO DATE COMPARISON, AND COVID-19 IMPACTS TO OPERATIONS According to the World Economic Outlook Report for June 2020, produced by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the pandemic had a more negative impact on the first half of 2020 than originally anticipated, with a projected recovery more gradual than originally forecast. In the report, the IMF projects a decrease of 4.9% in world economic output in 2020, with an increase of 5.4% in 2021. For the United States, the IMF projects a decrease of 8.0% in economic output in 2020, followed by an increase of 4.8% in 2021. As mentioned previously, the COVID-19 pandemic was occurring at the time of this Airport Master Plan Study, hitting the aviation industry hard. Figure 4.12 below shows 180 days of flights tracked by the publicly available Flightradar24 flight tracker. The number of flights dropped approximately 50% between March 15 and April 15, 2020 due to stay at home orders, then steadily increased going into August 2020. This does not necessarily reflect the operational impact at McCall Municipal Airport.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan PREVIOUS SHOCKS TO THE AVIATION SYSTEM As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds, there is great uncertainty over the short- and long-term impacts to the aviation industry. Table 4.12 above shows a clear shock to aviation operations. We will review previous shocks to see how general aviation reacted and how they affected operations at McCall Municipal Airport. September 11, 2001 resulted in a temporary shutdown of aviation in the United States in response to terrorist attacks using commercial airliners as guided weapons. Table 4.14 shows the growth rates of general aviation hours flown during the immediate aftermath of the attacks (2001-2003) and during the recovery period (2003-2007), as reported by the FY2008-2025 FAA Aerospace Forecast. The result shows general aviation piston hours decreased during the aftermath and continued to decrease at a greater rate during the recovery period. Turbine and rotorcraft hours flown increased during the aftermath and increased at a greater rate during the recovery period.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan The TAF historic operations for McCall Municipal Airport for 2007-2019 show a clear shock to airport operations between 2009 and 2010 as a result of the Great Recession, as shown in Figure 4.14. Operations increased until 2009, then dropped 32% in 2010 before remaining constant until 2019. It is uncertain if operations at McCall Municipal Airport will experience growth, as it did following 9/11, or experience a sharp decrease as it did following the Great Recession.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 4.6 BASELINE DATA 2020 will be used as the baseline year for future planning at McCall Municipal Airport. In order to arrive at an operational baseline for 2020, previous studies and the airport master record will be reviewed to come up with an annual operations figure for 2019. Then, current data from fuel sales and camera photos will be used to adjust the 2019 figure to establish the 2020 baseline for operations and fleet mix. Based aircraft for 2020 will be derived from camera photos, existing hangar tenants, FAA registrations, flight track data, and publicly available information from company websites. PREVIOUS BASELINE OPERATION COMPARISONS Table 4.19 below shows baseline operation figures used previously. Table 4.19 Previous Baseline Operation Comparison Baseline Year Source Reported Operations 2017 2020 IASP Update 32,000 2018 Taxiway Relocation Pre- Design Study 20,871 2019 TAF 44,718 2019 5010 Airport Master Record 43,600 Average 35,297 Median 37,800 High 44,718 Low 20,871 Discussion with the Airport Sponsor determined the median value of 37,800 from the previous baseline operations figures would be the most appropriate figure to use for calendar year 2019, given the economic conditions that existed in 2019 prior to the pandemic. As reported in the TAF, historically, itinerant operations made up 74% of the total operations, with the remaining 26% accounting for local operations. Thus, in 2019 there were a total of 37,800 operations – 27,972 being itinerant and 9,828 being local. Military operations have historically been counted as 100 annual itinerant operations. The remaining itinerant operations were divided into air taxi and general aviation, with approximately 28% being air taxi and 72% being general aviation. Based on these assumptions, the 2019 annual operations are summarized in Table 4.20 below. Table 4.20 2019 Operational Activity Itinerant Local Air Taxi GA Military Total Itinerant Total GA Local Total Operations 2019 7,804 20,068 100 27,972 9,828 37,800 Page 93 4. Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 2020 OPERATIONAL ADJUSTMENT AND BASELINE Fuel sales are a truth-teller when it comes to operational activity at the airport. The 30% decrease in avgas sales, and 3% decrease in jet fuel sales occurred during the worst part of the downturn in aviation, and before the historically busiest time of the year for MYL – July and August. Photo data during July showed there is a desire and demand to fly to McCall and into the backcountry. The short- and long-term effects on aviation and the economy are uncertain, and the operational and economic downturn during the first half of 2020 cannot be ignored. As such, it is reasonable to assume the total operations for 2020 will be less than 2019, but not as much as 30% less. For the 2020 baseline, we will assume 15% fewer total operations to account for continued uncertainty, while recognizing there is still a demand to fly out of the airport. Table 4.21 below shows the 2020 baseline for operations at McCall Municipal Airport. BASED AIRCRAFT Data collected from cameras, hangar agreements with the City, flight trackers, and the FAA registration database revealed there are a total of 100 aircraft based at McCall Municipal Airport. A breakdown of the based fleet at the airport is shown in Table 4.22 below.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 4.7 REVIEW OF AVIATION FORECASTS Previous planning study forecast methodologies used for MYL were reviewed to see if any would be appropriate for use during this planning effort. 2007 AIRPORT MASTER PLAN The preferred operations forecast methodology was based on peer analysis and a regression hybrid that used population growth rate for Valley County initially, followed by peer airport growth rate. The preferred based aircraft forecast methodology was based on population growth rates. The forecast methodologies were pre-Great Recession and quite optimistic, particularly for based aircraft. 2008 IDAHO AIRPORT SYSTEM PLAN (IASP) The preferred operations forecast methodology was based on Operations Per Based Aircraft (OPBA), while the preferred based aircraft forecast methodology was based on tiered population growth rates. The forecast methodologies were also pre-Great Recession and not quite as optimistic as the 2007 Airport Master Plan Forecast.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 2019 TAXIWAY RELOCATION PROJECT PRE-DESIGN STUDY The preferred operations and based aircraft forecast methodologies were based on consultation with the Airport Sponsor and population growth rates, resulting in a growth rate of 1.10% from 2018 – 2038. JANUARY 2020 TERMINAL AREA FORECAST FOR MYL The FAA TAF projects a growth rate similar to the one from the 2007 Airport Master Plan, which was shown earlier to be overly optimistic when compared to the historic growth rate. Like the 2007 Airport Master Plan, the TAF growth rate was calculated during a healthy economy just ahead of an economic downturn. Table 4.26 2019 Taxiway Relocation Pre-Design Study Planning Period Itinerant Local Based Aircraft Air Taxi GA Civil Total Based 2018-2038 1.10%1.10%1.10%1.10% CONCLUSION & SELECTION OF A FORECAST METHODOLOGY - OPERATIONS There was an obvious downturn in the aviation industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as shown and described previously. Global aircraft operations rapidly decreased in April 2020, then steadily increased during the summer of 2020. Fuel volume sold at MYL during January through June of 2020 showed a decrease of approximately 30% in avgas and 3% in jet fuel, when compared to the same period in 2019, while flight plans filed increased slightly. During the past 20 years, there have been two shocks to the aviation system – September 11, 2001 and the Great Recession in 2007. In both cases, operations from general aviation pistons suffered during the shock event and the recovery period, while operations from turbine aircraft showed more resiliency. Historic operations at MYL from the FAA TAF showed an increase in activity following September 11, 2001, and a decrease following the Great Recession. Photo data showed a healthy level of activity from general aviation pistons, particularly during July 2020. This may be due to the location of McCall and the nature of the activity, where people are looking for ways to distance themselves by heading to a small town and the backcountry. Being a recreational destination places McCall and the airport in a better position for recovery. Indeed, as reported by Moody’s Investor Service in its August 25, 2020 report, demand for leisure travel is expected to be stronger in the near term while business travel continues to lag. In the same report, Moody’s predicts that substantial recovery for airline passenger demand to 2019 levels will not occur before 2023. Since McCall is a recreational destination not tied to airline service, recovery to 2019 levels is expected to occur sooner. For this forecast methodology, a recovery from the pandemic is expected to occur in 2022. Subsequently, a pre-COVID-19 growth rate of 0.28% will be applied over the rest of the planning horizon to 2040, as the economy moves past recovery and into a normal growth period. U.S. Forest Service operations are expected to Table 4.27 Terminal Area Forecast Planning Period Itinerant Local Based Aircraft Air Taxi GA Civil Total Based 2010-2019 0.28%0.28%0.28%-0.24% 2020-2040 2.24%2.25%2.26%3.19% Page 96 4. Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan continue and will remain flat for the purpose of this forecast. Military operation growth rates will also be reported as flat. Itinerant traffic is still expected to account for 74% of the total traffic at MYL, while 26% will be local. Of the itinerant traffic, 28% will continue to be from air taxi, while 72% will be general aviation.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan CONCLUSION & SELECTION OF A FORECAST METHODOLOGY – BASED AIRCRAFT & FLEET MIX As described previously, there are 100 aircraft based at McCall Municipal Airport. This is more than what was previously reported on the Airport Master Record in July of 2019 (74), and more than what was estimated in the TAF for 2020 (96). This increase may be due to a more thorough research of based aircraft as part of this planning study, rather than an actual increase in based aircraft. Nonetheless, 100 aircraft is a large number relative to the size of McCall. Following September 11, 2001, based aircraft at MYL remained steady at about 100. Following the Great Recession, based aircraft dropped from 134 to 85 between 2007-2013, or a rate of about 7.3%. The TAF for MYL predicted a positive growth rate of 3.19% between 2020-2040, which now appears to be overly optimistic, as there was a decrease of based aircraft at MYL between 2010-2019 by a rate of 0.24%. For 2020-2040, the FAA Aerospace Forecast predicts a decrease in the active fixed wing general aviation piston fleet by a rate of 1.0% and an increase in the fixed-fix turbine fleet by a rate of 1.8%. Absent other consistent data related to based aircraft at MYL, along with the uncertainty associated with COVID-19, the growth rates predicted in the FAA Aerospace Forecast will be used as the forecast methodology for based aircraft at MYL.

Aviation Forecast McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 4.8 CRITICAL AIRCRAFT The 2007 Airport Master Plan and 2019 Taxiway Relocation Pre-Design Study determined the critical aircraft for McCall Municipal Airport to be a Dassault Falcon 900, an ARC B-II Large aircraft. TFMSC data collected as part of this Airport Master Plan confirms the continued and future use of an ARC B-II Large aircraft, but not the Dassault Falcon 900. There was no single B-II Large aircraft that distinguished itself as a clear choice, rather it was a mix that included the Cessna Citation 560, Cessna Citation CJ3, Cessna Citation 550, Cessna Citation 560XL, Embraer Phenom 300, and the Shorts Sherpa from the U.S. Forest Service, among others. Absent a clear choice, this planning study referred to the FAA’s Business Jet Report for August 2020. In the report, the top business jet aircraft for domestic operations between August 2019 and July 2020 was the Cessna Citation 560XL2, or Citation Excel, which is a B-II Large aircraft. Since the aircraft was observed in the TFMSC and photo data for McCall Municipal Airport, the current version of the Cessna Citation Excel, called the Citation XLS+ will be used as the future critical aircraft for planning purposes.

Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SECTION OVERVIEW The Facility Requirements chapter describes the facilities required to safely accommodate the aircraft traffic forecasted for McCall Municipal Airport (MYL). FAA design standards for the airport’s critical aircraft are detailed relative to the existing runway, taxiways, and other facilities. 5.1 GENERAL The Facility Requirements chapter compares the current airport services and facilities at MYL to the needs of the users and requirements of existing and forecasted critical aircraft to identify any deficiencies that require remediation through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Most dimensional standards and recommendations listed are described in FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5300-13A, Airport Design. Additional FAA Advisory Circulars and regulations are referenced where appropriate. 5.2 AIRPORT REFERENCE CODE, RUNWAY DESIGN CODE, AND TAXIWAY DESIGN GROUP GENERAL DISCUSSION The FAA has several coding systems including Aircraft Approach Category (AAC) and Airplane Design Group (ADG). The AAC is designated by a letter (A through E) and represents different levels of approach speed. The ADG is designated by a Roman numeral (I through VI), which represents aircraft wingspan and tail height. Each airport has a critical aircraft, typically defined as the most demanding aircraft (or combination of aircraft) that performs at least 500 operations annually. The combination of that aircraft’s AAC and ADG (for example, A-I or B-II) signifies the Airport Reference Code (ARC). Table 5.1 Airport Reference Code (ARC) Aircraft Approach Category Category Speed A less than 91 knots B 91 knots or more, less than 121 knots C 121 knots or more, less than 141 knots D 141 knots or more, less than 166 knots E 166 knots or more Table 5.2 Airport Reference Code (ARC) Airplane Design Group (ADG) Group #Tail Height (Feet) Wingspan (Feet) I <20 <49 II 20 - <30 49 - <79 III 30 - <45 79 - <118 IV 45 - <60 118 - <171 V 60 - <66 171 - <214 VI 66 - <80 214 - <262 Page 106 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Each runway also receives a combined AAC and ADG designation for approach and departure operations, called the Runway Design Code (RDC). Each RDC also contains a third component based on visibility minimums (for example, B-II-4000). These categorizations are applied to individual runways, such that multiple runways at a single airport may have different RDCs. The ARC and RDC provide insights into the performance, design characteristics, and physical facility requirements of aircraft using components of an airport. The design standard used for taxiway design is the Taxiway Design Group (TDG), a classification for airplanes based on outer to outer Main Gear Width (MGW) and Cockpit to Main Gear (CMG) distance. These measures are used because taxiways are designed for “cockpit over centerline” taxiing and such undercarriage dimensions must be considered for design of pavement fillets. The chart below outlines the measurements for all Taxiway Design Groups.

If the forecast foresees a downward trend or a notable change, such as a major user leaving the facility, the future design aircraft might actually be in a lower category or group. Design standards for the current airport designation are shown as either compliant or as deficient. Figure 5.2 Example of Aircraft ARC Page 108 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan DESIGN AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATION The Forecast of Aviation Demand chapter established the current and future critical aircraft as the Cessna Citation XLS+, a B-II Large Aircraft. Table 5.4 displays the specifications and applicable design standards for the design aircraft. AIRPORT REFERENCE CODE (ARC) The wingspan and approach speed of the current and future critical aircraft result in McCall Municipal Airport being designated as ARC B-II. The ARC is not forecasted to change throughout the planning period. TAXIWAY DESIGN GROUP (TDG) TDG relates to the undercarriage dimensions of the aircraft and it is a classification of airplanes base on outer to outer Main Gear Width (MGW) and Cockpit to Main Gear (CMG) distance. MGW and CMG of the critical aircraft at McCall Municipal Airport result in a TDG-2 classification for the critical aircraft. RUNWAY DESIGN CODE (RDC) Generally, runway standards are related to aircraft approach speed, aircraft wingspan, and designated or planned approach visibility minimums. For an airport with a single runway, the Airport Reference Code (ARC) is the same as Runway Design Code (RDC). Runway 16/34 is paved asphalt and the only runway at McCall Municipal Airport. There are two published instrument approach procedures for the airport, both RNAV (GPS) approaches. The lowest visibility minimum for the RNAV (GPS) approach for Runway 16 is 1 mile. The lowest visibility minimum for the RNAV (GPS) approach for Runway 34 is 7/8 mile. This results in a RDC for Runway 16/34 of B-II-4000. WEIGHT CLASS There are two aircraft weight classes used by the FAA for planning: Small Aircraft and Large Aircraft. Small Aircraft have a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 12,500 pounds or less, while Large Aircraft have a MTOW of greater than 12,500 pounds. Some FAA documentation uses the terms Utility and Other than Utility in place of Small Aircraft and Large Aircraft, respectively. The current and future weight class of McCall Municipal Airport is Large Aircraft. The runway pavement strength at McCall Municipal Airport is published at 86,500 pounds for single wheel, 141,000 pounds for double wheel, and 261,500 pounds for double tandem wheel configuration. The Cessna Citation XLS+ has a maximum takeoff weight of 20,200 pounds with a single wheel configuration. 5.3 AIRFIELD CAPACITY Demand and capacity represent the relationship between forecasted aviation demand, especially during peak operational periods, and an airport’s physical ability to safely accommodate that demand. The purpose of a demand and capacity analysis is to assess the ability of the airport’s existing facilities to efficiently accommodate its day-to- day and long-term demand without undue delays or compromises to safety. The analysis also assists in determining when improvements are needed to meet specific operational demands. At low activity airports, airfield capacity often far exceeds the anticipated level of demand.

Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan recognized and accepted capacity analysis methodology can be found in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5060-5, Airport Capacity and Delay, and yields hourly capacities and Annual Service Volumes (ASV). ASV is a reasonable estimate of an airport’s annual capacity, accounting for differences in runway use, aircraft mix, and weather conditions that would be encountered over a year’s time. For long range planning, AC 150/5060-5 provides hourly capacity and ASV charts for airports by using common runway configurations with certain operational assumptions, along with an aircraft fleet mix calculation. The calculations derived from this method may be used if the conditions at the airport do not significantly differ with the assumptions listed in AC 150/5060-5. Capacity assumptions are listed below: • Runway Use Configuration: Any runway layout can be approximated by one of the 19 depicted runway-use configurations shown in the Advisory Circular (MYL uses configuration 1, which is a single runway). • Percent Arrivals: Arrivals equal departures. MYL assumes this is the case. • Percent Touch and Goes: The percent of touch and goes is within the limits shown in Table 2-1 of AC 150/5060-5. For MYL, touch and goes are assumed to be local operations, which account for 26% of the total operations. This is within the limits shown in Table 2-1 of AC 150/5060-5. • Taxiways: A full-length taxiway with ample runway entrance/exit taxiways and no taxiway crossing problems. MYL meets this assumption. • Airspace Limitations: There are no airspace limitations which would adversely impact flight operations or otherwise restrict aircraft which could operate at the airport. At MYL, there are assumed to be no airspace limitations. • Runway Instrumentation: The airport has at least one runway equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS) and has the necessary air traffic control facilities and services to carry out operations in a radar environment. MYL does not completely meet this assumption as it does not have a control tower or ILS, but it does have published satellite-based instrument approach procedures. ASV assumptions are listed below: • IFR weather conditions occur roughly 10% of the time. • Roughly 80 percent of the time the airport operates with the runway-use configuration which produces the greatest hourly capacity. Aircraft mix is the relative percentage of operations conducted by each of four classes of aircraft (A, B, C, and D), excluding helicopter operations. These classes of aircraft are related to wake turbulence and not ARC. Classes A and B are those that weigh less than 12,500 pounds. Class C is composed of airplanes that weigh between 12,500 – 300,000 pounds. Class D are those aircraft that weigh over 300,000 pounds. There are no Class D aircraft operating at MYL. Mix index is a mathematical expression represented by the equation %(C+3D). Since there are no Class D aircraft, the equation becomes %(C) for MYL. For calculating capacity at MYL, fleet mix percentages from the motion activated camera data obtained during the forecast analysis were used to calculate the mix index. Referring to Table 4.18 in Chapter 3, as well as adding operations by USFS aircraft, all ARC A-I, A-II, and B-I are considered to be less than 12,500 pounds (2,136+126+87+10+102=2,461 operations). B-II operations were split in half since the King Air 200 weighs 12,500 pounds, and B-II jets weigh more than 12,500 pounds (104+56+2=162/2=81). The rest of the aircraft ARC B-III and above weigh more than 12,500 pounds (3+15+21+15+6=60). The total operations used for this calculation is 2,683. Of this number, 141 are over 12,500 pounds (81+60=141). The mix index for MYL is approximately 5.25% ((141/2,683)*100). Using runway configuration 1 (single runway) from Figure 2-1 of AC 150/5060-5, and the mix index of 5.25%, the hourly capacity (operations/hour) for MYL is 98 for VFR conditions and 59 for IFR conditions. The ASV for MYL is 230,000 operations. Page 110 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan From Chapter 3, Aviation Forecast, the 2020 baseline total operations for MYL is 32,130, which is approximately 14% of ASV. Forecasted operations in 2040 are 39,029, which is approximately 17% of ASV. For planning purposes, 60% of ASV is the threshold at which planning for capacity improvements should begin. At 80% of ASV, planning for capacity improvements should be complete and construction should begin. At 100% of ASV, the airport has reached capacity and capacity improvement should be made to avoid delays. Over the 20-year planning horizon, demand at MYL will remain well below 60% of ASV. Capacity improvements are not anticipated. - 50,000 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 2020 2040 An n u a l O p e r a t i o n s ASV 80% ASV 60% ASV MYL Operations Figure 5.3 MYL Operations versus ASV Source: T-O Engineers 5.4 FAA DESIGN STANDARDS The FAA has established design standards for almost every aspect of airports, including relevant navigable airspace, airside facilities, and landside facilities. Once the existing and future designations are determined, the FAA uses these design standards to provide an acceptable level of safety on airports. These standards include runway width, other surface dimensions such as safety areas and various separations from fixed or movable objects, and other facets of the airport layout. By applying design standards to classes of aircraft, the Airport Sponsor can match the level of safety appropriately to the level of risk. This is an important core concept for every Airport Master Plan and is especially pertinent for potential future expansion. A key reason for Airport Sponsors to plan, develop, and maintain their airports to the FAA’s design standards is to improve safety and ensure compliance with industry standards. Further, Airport Sponsors that receive federal funds, such as the City of McCall, are obligated by federal grant assurances to comply with all FAA safety regulations and standards. The standards that apply to an airport and/or runway are determined by the relevant reference code. Subsequently, a comparison of B-II standards to airport conditions is critically important and is discussed in detail throughout this chapter. Based on previous planning efforts, McCall Municipal Airport is generally constructed to ARC B-II standards. Through the investigation of this Airport Master Plan, it was determined that the airport should plan to meet ARC B-II, Large Aircraft standards presently and throughout the planning period. Table 5.5 lists the FAA design standards for runways compared to the existing runway dimensions. Page 111 5.

Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan CROSSWIND RUNWAY AND RUNWAY ORIENTATION Wind analysis from Chapter 3 showed the existing runway at MYL provides greater than 95% wind coverage under all weather scenarios. As such, a crosswind runway is neither required nor recommended through the planning horizon. Change in magnetic declination may dictate runway renumbering. A review of the geodetic and magnetic headings for Runway 16/34 indicates a new runway designation of Runway 17/35 is required. Table 5.6 summarizes the runway orientation information.

Runway 16/34 is currently 75 feet wide, which meets ARC B-II standards for runway width. RUNWAY LENGTH Many factors determine the suitability of runway length for airplane operations. These factors include airport elevation above mean sea level, temperature, wind velocity, airplane operating weights, takeoff and landing flap settings, runway surface condition (dry or wet), effective runway gradient, presence of obstructions in the vicinity of the airport, and any locally imposed noise abatement restrictions. A given runway length may not be suitable for all aircraft operations. FAA AC 150/5325-4B, Runway Length Requirements for Airport Design, provides recommendations and guidelines for use in the design of civil airports. The use of the Advisory Circular is mandatory for airport projects receiving federal funding. Runway length is an FAA recommendation, not a design standard. It is up to the pilot operating under the unique meteorological conditions and demands of a particular flight to determine the safety of the available runway length for the operation. However, it does remain a goal of the Sponsor to provide a safe environment suited for the aircraft regularly operating at the facility. The calculations for recommended runway length are driven by the airport’s critical aircraft. The current and future critical aircraft for MYL is the Cessna Citation XLS+, a B-II Large Aircraft. The existing runway length is 6,108 feet. The Cessna Citation XLS+ Flight Planning Guide was published to provide specific information for evaluating the performance of the Cessna Citation XLS+ (Model 560XL). Although the information contained in the guide was developed from data contained in the flight and operating manuals, the guide is not to be used in place of the flight Page 113 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan and operating manuals. Nonetheless, the guide provides takeoff runway length requirements that can be useful for planning purposes. The takeoff field length for the Citation XLS+ is 5,970 feet (15° of flaps, dry runway, zero wind, anti-ice off, cabin bleed air on, over a 35-foot screen, 5,000-foot field elevation, 86 °F, and a maximum takeoff weight of 20,200 pounds). The existing runway meets the runway length requirements for the critical aircraft. AC 150/5325-4B recommends runway length be determined according to the airport’s ultimate development plan, thus ensuring a runway appropriate for the forecasted critical aircraft. By protecting for the future, the airport will avoid costly design and infrastructure upgrades. Using the FAA’s computer software program, runway lengths based on families of aircraft with performance characteristics similar to the critical aircraft were calculated. The results were divided into small aircraft (12,500 pounds or less) and large aircraft (between 12,500 pounds and 60,000 pounds). The weight classifications are further broken down into subdivisions indicating the percent of the fleet that could be accommodated by the recommended minimum runway length. For example, the recommended minimum runway length for 100% of the small aircraft fleet is 6,110 feet. The runway at MYL essentially meets this requirement, as it is only 2 feet short of the recommendation. For large aircraft, the weight classification is subdivided into a percentage of useful load. The FAA defines useful load as the weight of the pilot, copilot, passengers, baggage, usable fuel, and drainable oil. The Citation XLS+ falls into the large aircraft classification with a maximum gross weight greater than 12,500 pounds. According to Table 3-1 of AC 150/5325-4B, the Cessna Citation 560XL (Excel) is listed among the aircraft comprising 75% of the fleet. The recommended minimum runway length for 75% of large airplanes at 60% useful load is 6,510 feet. This threshold is important because it is the minimum recommended runway length for a grouping of large aircraft at MYL. In this case, the existing runway is short by 402 feet. Additional runway length beyond that would provide more useful load for 75% of the large aircraft fleet, or accommodate the remaining 25% of the large aircraft fleet, which includes the Challenger 600, Falcon 900, and Hawker Horizon (aircraft which were observed at MYL by the motion activated cameras). A summary of the runway length recommendations is shown in Table 5.7. Page 114 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Table 5.7 Runway Length recommendations Airport Elevation: 5,024 feet Mean Daily Maximum Temperature of the Hottest Month: 80 F Maximum Difference in Runway Centerine Elevation: 18 feet 12,500 pounds or less with less than 10 passenger seats (Ex.: Beech King Air 200) 75% of fleet 4,450 feet 95% fleet 5,930 feet 100% fleet 6,110 feet 12,500 pounds or less with 10 or more passenger seats 6,110 feet Over 12,500 pounds but less than 60,000 pounds 75% of fleet at 60% useful load 6,510 feet 75% of fleet at 90% useful load 8,730 feet 100% of fleet at 60% useful load 8,980 feet 100% of fleet at 90% useful load 10,860 feet More than 60,000 pounds 6,780 feet approximately Source: FAA Advisory Circular 150/5325-4B and FAA AD4.2 Program The existing runway at MYL is adequate for small aircraft operating at the airport, as well as the critical aircraft. However, it is insufficient to meet the minimum requirement for 75% of the large aircraft fleet at 60% useful load. The recommended minimum runway length for future planning is 6,510 feet. This would require a 402-foot runway extension. RUNWAY PAVEMENT DESIGN STRENGTH To meet the design life goals of the airport, runway pavements must be designed to physically withstand the weight of arriving, taxiing, and departing aircraft. This is calculated using a mix of aircraft. The maximum takeoff weight of the existing design aircraft and those aircraft forecasted to use the airport must be considered to determine pavement strength. The pavement must possess sufficient stability to withstand the abrasive action of traffic, adverse weather conditions, and other deteriorating influences. Airport pavements degrade faster when over-stressed with loads beyond their design capability. Pavements are most stressed when aircraft loads are slowly applied, as in when an aircraft is taxiing or parked. Pavement loading is also a function of the number of pressure points, such that the more tires an aircraft has to distribute its load the less stress is exerted on the pavement. The current published weight bearing capacity of Runway 16/34 is 86,500 pounds for single wheel, 141,000 pounds for a double wheel, and 261,500 pounds for a double tandem wheel configuration. The maximum takeoff weight of the critical aircraft is 20,200 pounds with a single wheel configuration. The current pavement strength meets the requirements for the planning period. Figure 5.4 Single Wheel Configuration Figure 5.5 Double Wheel Configuration Source: Cessna Source: Cessna Page 115 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan While the pavement strength of the runway meets the requirements of the critical aircraft, heavier aircraft are known to use the airport. The largest aircraft observed during the data collection for the forecast was a Gulfstream 550, a D-III aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 91,000 pounds with double wheel configuration. The existing pavement strength at MYL accommodates this aircraft. Potentially, the U.S. Forest Service could bring C-130’s equipped for firefighting to MYL on a regular basis in the future, without any official commitments. The C-130 is an ARC C-IV aircraft with a single tandem wheel configuration and a maximum takeoff weight of 155,000 pounds. There is no published weight bearing capacity at MYL for a single tandem wheel configuration, but an analysis done by T-O Engineers in 2015 determined the weight bearing capacity of the runway at MYL to be 165,000 pounds at an operational frequency of 900 annual departures (10 departures per day for three consecutive months, annually). Consequently, the runway accomodates the C-130 under defined operational conditions. RUNWAY GRADIENT The elevation of the Runway 16 end is 5,024.31 feet, and the elevation of the Runway 34 end is 5,006.69 feet, which is a difference of 17.62 feet. This results in a runway gradient of 0.29%, which is well below the FAA 2% maximum gradient allowed for AAC-B aircraft. RUNWAY SEPARATION STANDARDS There are several standards for runway separation distance between other facilities on the airport, dictated by the design aircraft. The runway separation standards for a B-II facility, as well as the existing condition are shown in Table 5.8. The FAA generally supports and recommends that separation distances between runways and parallel taxiways be increased to standards for larger and heavier aircraft than the current design aircraft to protect for future expansion. LINE OF SIGHT According to FAA AC 150/5300-13A, for individual runways with a full parallel taxiway, any point five feet above the runway centerline must be mutually visible with any other point five feet above the runway centerline that is located at a distance that is less than one half the length of the runway. Runway 16/34 meets this requirement. BLAST PAD Paved runway blast pads provide blast erosion protection beyond runway ends during jet aircraft operations. The Airport Master Record remarks section for MYL indicates there is a marked 50-foot blast pad for Runway 16. Aerial imagery shows the blast pad is the same width of the runway (75 feet) and 50 feet beyond the end of the runway threshold. The FAA standards, per AC 150/5300-13A, for a blast pad for a B-II runway with not lower than ¾ mile visibility is 95 feet wide and 150 feet long. Any future runway rehabilitation projects should bring the blast pad up to current design standards.

The remarks section of the Airport Master Record also states this, which means it is a long-standing issue. This condition should be corrected during the next runway rehabilitation or maintenance project. Runway lights have also been a long-standing concern as stated by airport management. Consideration should be given to a replacement of the existing lighting system, with the introduction of LED lighting. LED lighting would increase reliability, as well as sustainability. TAXIWAY ANALYSIS As stated in FAA AC 150/5300-13A, Section 405, a parallel taxiway eliminates using the runway for taxiing, thus increasing capacity, and protecting the runway under low visibility conditions. Additionally, a full-length parallel taxiway is required for instrument approach procedures with visibility minimums below one mile, which is the case at MYL. Taxiway A was relocated during the summer of 2020 to meet the runway centerline-to-taxiway centerline separation standards of a C-II aircraft, should the airport need to increase the ARC from a B-II to C-II in the future. Taxiway A is 50 feet wide, which is wider than the required 35 feet for a TDG-2 aircraft. The wider taxiway was justified previously due to the use of the airport by firefighting aircraft. There are five connector taxiways that provide access to Runway 16/34, designated A-1 through A-5, starting at the Runway 16 end. Taxiway A and the connectors are appropriately identified with signage. The taxiway does not have any lights, only reflectors at the Sponsor’s prerogative. As Taxiway A and the connectors were relocated/reconstructed in 2020, there are no further improvements needed through the planning horizon other than periodic maintenance and surface treatments. On the U.S. Forest Service side of the airport, there is a partial parallel taxiway locally known as Taxiway B, although it is officially undesignated. It is 1,700 feet long and 50 feet wide and connected to the Runway 16 end by a connector taxiway, B-1. Another taxiway connector, B-2, is located approximately 1,800 feet from the Runway 16 landing threshold. These taxiways do not meet the current design standard for taxiway fillets and should be corrected. It is recommended that this taxiway be given the official designation of Taxiway B on the ALP and appropriately identified by signage. The current standards for taxiways are shown in comparison to dimensions at MYL in Table 5.9. Page 117 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan The 2019 ALP identifies four additional taxiways located within the west side hangar area, Taxiways A, B, C, and E. These should be re-purposed as taxilanes, which are, by definition, designed for low speed and precise taxiing between taxiways and aircraft parking positions and other terminal areas. These taxilanes should meet the design standards for B-II aircraft and be re-designated with different names to avoid confusion with Taxiways A and B, which run parallel to the runway. Presently, Taxiway A, which runs east-west and connects with Taxiway A-2, does not meet the B-II taxiway centerline to fixed or movable object standards of 65.5 feet. Re-purposing this taxiway as a taxilane would remedy this deficiency. Additionally, replacement of the diagonal taxiway will assist in enhancing circulation through the terminal area.

In general, when a runway or taxiway has a painted centerline, pilots should be able to assume that they have wingtip clearance and buffers based on the ADG of the airport. The taxilane running east-west between Hangars 211 and 212 does not meet the TOFA clearance for an ADG-I aircraft, as shown in Figure 5.9. It is less than 79 feet wide. Figure 5.8 Hangar Area Taxilanes Source: T-O Engineers Page 118 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan The FAA promotes taxiway design to adhere to the “three-node concept.” This concept is meant to prevent any taxiway and taxilane intersections from becoming overly complex and potentially confusing for pilots. The three- node concept states that a pilot should have no more than three choices of direction at each intersection, ideally left, right, or straight. All intersections associated with Runway 16/34 and the taxiway connectors to Taxiways A and B meet the three-node concept. Figure 5.9 Nonstandard TOFA Source: T-O Engineers Table 5.10 Taxilane Standards Design Criteria ADG I Standards ADG II Standard Compliance Taxilane Object Free Area Width 79 feet 115 feet Deficient Other measures that help reduce pilot confusion and reduce runway incursions are to avoid wide expanses of pavement at runway-taxiway intersections, limit runway crossings, avoid “high energy” runway crossing intersections, increase pilot visibility by using 90-degree turns at runway entrance or crossing points, and eliminate direct access from a parking apron to a runway without requiring a turn. Taxiway B-1 presently expands from 50-feet wide to over 150 feet wide starting just prior to the hold short line up to the entrance to Runway 16. This should be remedied by a future project. The runway crossing at Taxiways A-2 and B-2 is outside the middle third of Runway 16/34 and not considered a “high energy” crossing. The other runway crossing is at the Runway 16 threshold. All runway entrances and crossing points are at 90-degree angles. Taxiway B-2 provides direct access to Runway 16/34 from the U.S. Forest Service apron, while Taxiway A-2 provides direct access to the runway from the west side hangar area as shown in Figure 5.10. Future runway and taxiway projects should consider ways to correct this condition. Source: FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A Page 119 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Figure 5.10 Direct Access to Runway from Parking Area Source: T-O Engineers NAVIGATIONAL AIDS Aids to navigation provide pilots with information to assist them in locating the airport and to provide horizontal and/or vertical guidance during landing. Navigational Aids (NAVAIDS) also permit access to the airport during poor weather conditions. There are multiple NAVAIDS installed at McCall Municipal Airport to increase pilot safety. Runway 16/34 is equipped with Medium Intensity Runway Lights (MIRLs) and Runway End Identifier Lights (REILs). Both are pilot controlled, so a pilot can activate the system and vary the lighting intensity by keying their microphone while on the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF). Runway 16 is equipped with a 2-light Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI), while Runway 34 is equipped with a 2-light Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI). Both systems enhance safety by providing beneficial visual approach slope guidance to assist pilots in flying stabilized approaches. VASI systems are now considered obsolete. The 2-light PAPI system is normally installed on runways without electronic guidance and at non-commercial airports. 4-light PAPI systems should be installed on runways with jet operations1, as is the case with MYL. Consequently, the existing VASI and PAPI systems should be upgraded to a 4-light PAPI for each runway end. Past obstruction surveys have shown obstructions by numerous trees off the Runway 16 end, rendering the Runway 16 PAPI out of service for several years. If it is determined through a new obstruction analysis that the trees are still obstructions, it will be necessary to have the obstructions removed during a future airport project. There is a lighted windcone and segmented circle located in the terminal area of the airport near the touchdown zone of Runway 16. Both were newly constructed as part of a taxiway project in the summer of 2020. Secondary windcones are located adjacent to the touchdown zone for Runway 34 and off the end of Runway 16. The segmented circle and windcones meet current design standards. Page 120 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan An Automated Surface Observation System (ASOS) is located in the terminal area near the segmented circle. According to the Federal Standard for Siting Meteorological Sensors at Airports (FCM-S4-1994), for airports with only visual and/or nonprecision runways, the preferred siting of the cloud height, visibility, and wind sensors and associated data collection platform is adjacent to the primary runway, 1,000 to 3,000 feet down the runway from the threshold, and between 500 to 1,000 feet from the runway centerline. The current location of the ASOS at MYL meets the preferred siting criteria; however, it is also in a location that inhibits development of future hangars, taxilanes, and tiedowns in the terminal area. Future siting options will be explored during the alternatives development process. 5.5 AIRSPACE AND APPROACHES This section provides guidance on issues pertaining to airspace clearing and obstacle standards. 14 CFR PART 77 SURFACES (PART 77) Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 77, Safe, Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace, establishes standards for determining obstructions in navigable airspace. Part 77 describes imaginary surfaces that surround each airport and are defined relative to the specific airport and each runway. The imaginary surfaces vary in size and configuration based on the category of each runway. The runway category is determined by the types of approaches that exist or are proposed for that runway. The most precise existing or proposed approach for the specific runway end determines the slope and dimensions of each approach surface. Any object, natural or man-made, that penetrates these imaginary surfaces is an obstruction. Figure 5.11 is a graphical illustration of these surfaces. 7:1 APPROACH@ 20:1 HORIZONTAL SURFACE150' ABOVE HIGHESTPOINT OF RUNWAY 20:1 CONICAL SURFACE200' ABOVE THEHORIZONTAL SURFACE PRIMARYBOTTOM APPROACH TRANSITIONAL RUNWAY END TOP APPROACH 7:1 APPROACH@ 34:1 HORIZONTAL SURFACE150' ABOVE HIGHESTPOINT OF RUNWAY 20:1 CONICAL SURFACE200' ABOVE THEHORIZONTAL SURFACE PRIMARYBOTTOM APPROACH TRANSITIONAL RUNWAY END TOP APPROACH Figure 5.11 Part 77 Surfaces Source: T-O Engineers Page 121 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Primary surface: A surface longitudinally centered on a runway. When the runway has a specially prepared hard surface, the primary surface extends 200 feet beyond each end of that runway. The elevation of any point on the primary surface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline. Horizontal Surface: A horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airport elevation, the perimeter of which is constructed by swinging arcs of a specified radii from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway of each airport and connecting the adjacent arcs by lines tangent to those arcs. Conical Surface: A surface extending outward and upward from the periphery of the horizontal surface at a slope of 20 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet. Transitional Surface: These surfaces extend outward and upward at right angles to the runway centerline and the runway centerline extended at a slope of 7 to 1 from the sides of the primary surface and from the sides of the approach surfaces. Approach Surface: A surface longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline and extending outward and upward from each end of the primary surface. An approach surface is applied to each end of each runway based upon the type of approach available or planned for that runway end.

Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan INSTRUMENT APPROACHES McCall Municipal Airport has two instrument approach procedures, one to each runway end. Both are RNAV(GPS) approaches and are considered nonprecision approaches. The lowest minimums for the RNAV (GPS) Runway 16 approach, aircraft categories A and B, are a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) of 5,520 feet MSL and 1 statute mile visibility (the field elevation is 5,024 feet MSL). For category C aircraft, the MDA is 5,520 feet MSL and 1 3/8 statute miles visibility. Category D aircraft are not authorized for this approach. Due to the tree obstructions north of Runway 16, this instrument approach procedure is currently not available at night. The lowest minimums for the RNAV (GPS) Runway 34 approach, aircraft categories A – D, are an Decision Altitude (DA) of 5,318 feet MSL and 7/8 statute mile visibility. There are no expected changes in the instrument approaches for the airport, unless there are changes to the runway length or new obstructions are identified. Removal of existing obstructions should be made a priority to allow for full use of the instrument approach procedures. OBSTRUCTIONS The FAA recommends that all obstructions to the imaginary surfaces be mitigated if possible. The approach zones and RPZs define the most heavily used airspace around an airport and every effort should be made to minimize obstruction within these areas. However, sometimes it is impossible to achieve a completely obstruction-free airspace because of excessive costs or other considerations. The obstructions that cannot be removed, or those obstructions that cause the FAA to reduce the approach minimums, should be marked or lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1L, Obstruction Marking and Lighting. As mentioned previously, there are tree obstructions north of Runway 16 that need to be removed. The 2007 Airport Master Plan identified terrain penetrations of the Part 77 surfaces and instrument departure surface south of Runway 34 and east of the airport (Timber Ridge). Any proposed runway extensions or improvements to instrument approach minimums would require removal of these terrain penetrations. Figure 5.12 Runway 34 Approach Surface/Transitional Surface Terrain Penetrations (Existing) Source: T-O Engineers Page 123 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Figure 5.13 Runway 16 Departure Surface Terrain Penetrations (Existing) Source: T-O Engineers 5.6 RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONE The Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) is a portion of the inner approach zone projected onto the ground surface. While the RPZ provides additional value to the pilot, its main function is to enhance the protection of people on the ground. It is a ground-surface-level zone and begins 200 feet beyond the end of the area usable for takeoff or landing. The RPZ is trapezoidal in shape and centered around the extended runway centerline. The RPZ dimensions are determined by the design aircraft ARC, aircraft weight, type of operation (approach or departure), and approach visibility minimums. Land uses prohibited within the RPZ include residences and places of public assembly, including schools, hospitals, office buildings, churches, shopping centers, and other uses with similar concentrations of people. Fuel storage facilities, as well as the storage or use of significant amounts of materials which are explosive, flammable, toxic, corrosive, or otherwise exhibit hazardous characteristics are prohibited within the RPZ. Allowable uses include those that do not attract wildlife, do not interfere with navigational aids, and are located outside of the Runway Object Free Area. Automobile parking lots are allowable only if they are located outside of the central portion of the RPZ (which is equal to the width of the Object Free Area). Table 5.12 Runway Protection Zone Dimensions Approach Visibility Minimums Inner Width Outer Width Length Runway 16 Not Lower than 1 mile 500 feet 700 feet 1,000 feet Runway 34 Not Lower than ¾ mile 1,000 feet 1,510 feet 1,700 feet Source: FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A Page 124 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Whenever possible, the FAA recommends fee simple Sponsor ownership of the RPZ for complete control of the land uses in these areas. An avigation easement is recommended where fee simple Sponsor ownership is not possible. Deinhard Lane passes through the RPZ for Runway 16. FAA Interim Guidance on Land Uses Within a Runway Protection Zone, dated September 27, 2012, states that certain new or modified land uses in the RPZ, such as a public road, require the FAA Regional and Airports District Office (ADO) to consult with the National Airport Planning and Environmental Division (APP-400) of the FAA prior to approving an Airport Layout Plan (ALP) containing the proposed land use addition or modification. Should the City of McCall modify the section of Deinhard Lane that passes through the RPZ in the future, it would trigger the requirement for FAA coordination prior to any future ALP approval. 5.7 LAND USE ZONING Effective compatible land use planning around airports addresses airspace, safety, and noise considerations. In many instances, the community’s willingness to take a proactive approach in establishing compatible land use policies around the airport prevents the need to be reactive and mitigate more severe conflicts in the future. Effective comprehensive land use compatibility plans take such considerations into account and incorporate both height restrictive and basic land use restrictions via zoning. Coupled with other proactive measures, such as voluntary noise abatement programs and selective fee-simple land acquisition, proactive planning around the airport protects both the airport and the surrounding community. It is important to point out there is a difference between height restrictive zoning and basic land use zoning. As its name implies, height restrictive zoning to protect airport airspace generally conforms to Part 77, with the intent of protecting the airspace around an airport from objects or structures which may pose hazards to aircraft operations. On the other hand, the intent of land use zoning is to prevent incompatible land uses near an airport where the impacts of airport operations, such as noise, dust, fumes, or aircraft accidents, can have a potentially negative impact on that land use, or the impact of the incompatible land use can have a potentially negative impact on the airport. In 2016, ITD Aeronautics published the Idaho Airport Land Use Guidelines to inform and assist airport sponsors with their planning efforts and meeting State of Idaho regulatory requirements for local planning. Regulatory requirements include, but are not limited to, protecting public airports, including a Public Airport Facilities Section (q) in comprehensive plans, notifying an airport operator of a pending land use action, and preventing the creation or establishment of aviation hazards. Additionally, when an Airport Sponsor enters into an agreement that accepts grant funding from ITD Aeronautics, it agrees to comply with grant assurances. ITD Aeronautics Grant Assurance 23 states: SPONSOR will have compatible land use and height zoning for the airport to prevent incompatible land uses and the creation or establishment of structures or objects of natural growth which would constitute hazards or obstructions to aircraft operating to, from, on, or in the vicinity of the subject airport. Idaho Statute 67-6508q. The 2018 McCall Area Comprehensive Plan, McCall In Motion, contains a Public Airport Facilities section within the Dive Deep chapter. While not labeled specifically as a section “q” with respect to the Idaho Airport Land Use Guidelines, it meets the State of Idaho requirements for addressing compatible land use planning around McCall Municipal Airport. City of McCall Ordinance Title III, Planning and Zoning, Chapter 6, Civic, Airport and Agricultural/Forest Zones, establishes an Airport Zone (AP), an Airport Perimeter Zone (APP), which is located on the internal 150 feet of the AP zone edge, and an Airport Internal Zone (API), which is the remainder of the interior of the AP Zone. Section 3.6.02 of this chapter identifies uses within the zones that are permitted or conditionally permitted. Periodic review of this chapter should be done to ensure it remains current. Chapter 7, Special Districts, Section 3.7.05, McCall Municipal Airport Influence Overlay Zones, is intended to protect airport users and property inhabitants in the vicinity of the airport by setting forth height limitations and compatible land uses. Airport Operation Protection Zones are Page 125 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan described in Section 3.7.051, which were established based on a utility runway. Utility runways are intended for use by aircraft that weigh less than 12,500 pounds. Since the runway at MYL accommodates large aircraft (those heavier than 12,500 pounds) and jets, the current overlay zones do not fully protect for the existing traffic at MYL. The overlay zones should be updated based on the preferred alternative selected as part of this Airport Master Plan. 5.8 GENERAL AVIATION REQUIREMENTS HANGARS General aviation hangar preferences and requirements are a function of the number and type of based aircraft and the local climate. As mentioned in Chapter 3, McCall experiences cold snowy winters and warm dry summers. As such, all based aircraft are enclosed in a hangar during the winter. During the summer, seasonal based aircraft park outside on the transient apron, then relocate to warmer climates during the winter. Data collected during the summer for this study revealed 100 based aircraft at MYL, which includes three USFS aircraft not considered for this hangar requirements analysis. Valley County Assessor maps were reviewed for this study and revealed a total of 83 general aviation hangars, 79 of which were private hangars and four which belonged to McCall Aviation, Sawtooth Flying Service, and the Pioneer Hangar. The total square footage of hangar space is currently 247,733 square feet, with the average hangar size being 2,985 square feet. The average size of the private hangars is 2,821 square feet. To calculate the hangar requirements for MYL, the based aircraft numbers were used from the forecast for 2020 and 2040, along with the following assumptions for hangar size requirements (not the actual existing sizes): • Single-engine piston (SR-22) @ 1,250 square feet • Multi-engine piston (C-310) @ 1,400 square feet • Small turbine (Meridian) @ 1,500 square feet • Large turbine (PC-12/King Air 200) @ 3,000 square feet • Medium Jet (Citation XLS+) @ 3,600 square feet • Large Jet (Gulfstream 450) @ 10,000 square feet • Helicopter (R-44) @ 800 square feet • Glider (Trailer) @ 200 square feet Figure 5.14 Private Hangar Area Source: T-O Engineers Page 126 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Using these assumptions result in an excess of hangar square footage at MYL of 121,083 square feet in 2020, and an excess of 132,983 square feet in 2040. This condition does not mean there is a surplus of hangars at MYL, only a surplus of hangar square footage – the result of the existing hangars being larger than what is required for the based aircraft types. Indeed, there was a hangar wait list of 60 people at the time of this analysis, and for those on the wait list who listed a hangar size, the average size was approximately 3,300 square feet/hangar, with most of the aircraft types being single engine pistons. Despite the surplus of hangar square footage, there is a current demand of at least 60 hangars. There is also an opportunity to expand the hangar options at MYL to include small hangars specifically targeted for single engine piston aircraft, and to capture the seasonal based aircraft to perhaps make them permanent based aircraft. Further, removing the seasonal based aircraft from the transient apron would free up space for what the transient apron is intended for – transient aircraft parking. Additional hangars at the airport would also promote financial self- sustainability. Hangar options and configurations will be explored during the development alternatives analysis. TRANSIENT AIRCRAFT PARKING APRON A taxiway relocation project occurred during the summer of 2020, which resulted in a loss of transient parking space, as well as the loss of the diagonal taxiway. Consequently, the transient parking apron was configured with four large spaces nearest the taxiway, and 89 small aircraft parking spaces for a total of 93 marked parking spaces. The average size of each large parking space is 7,250 square feet, while the average size of each small parking space is 1,208 square feet. All of the previous medium sized parking spaces were eliminated due to the taxiway relocation project, leaving none presently. Aerial imagery was used to measure and calculate the square footage of transient parking apron space, resulting in 29,000 square feet dedicated to large aircraft, and 107,500 square feet dedicated to small aircraft for a total of 136,500 square feet of dedicated parking space. In order to determine parking requirements at MYL, forecasted operations were used to generate peak hour demand of itinerant operations, since itinerant operations were assumed to be using the transient apron, while local operations were assumed to use hangars. Itinerant operations were broken down between air taxi and general aviation. All general aviation itinerant operations were assumed to require 1,500 square feet, while air taxi itinerant operations were assumed to require 3,600 square feet. Itinerant air taxi operations at MYL can range from a single engine Cessna 206 to large business jets. The air taxi space assumed the square footage required by the critical aircraft, a Citation XLS+. Figure 5.15 Transient Parking Apron Source: T-O Engineers Page 127 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan From the forecast data, the peak month for operations is August, the peak day of the week is Sunday, and the peak hour is 10:00 a.m. In 2020, there were 6 air taxi and 15 general aviation itinerant operations during the peak hour. In 2040, there are forecast to be 7 air taxi and 18 general aviation itinerant operations during the peak hour. Consequently, there is sufficient transient apron space to accommodate the existing and forecast peak hour itinerant traffic, absent overnight and seasonal based aircraft. In 2020, the equivalent space remaining to accommodate overnight and seasonal based aircraft is 7 spaces for medium jets (Citation XLS+), and 45 single engine piston spaces. In 2040, the equivalent space remaining is equal to 7 medium jets and 41 single engine piston spaces. AIRPORT ACCESS AND VEHICLE PARKING Access to McCall Municipal Airport’s east terminal area, the general aviation side, is by way of State Highway 55 (SH-55), also known as S. 3rd Street, and Deinhard Lane. Southbound SH-55 has a right turn lane into the airport that begins at the intersection of SH-55 and Deinhard Lane and ends at the airport entrance next to the Sawtooth Flying Service hangar, approximately 800 feet south of the intersection. Travelers are met with an automated vehicle gate leading to the aircraft apron or a hairpin turn that heads north on an unpaved road toward McCall Aviation and the main parking lot, past the Pioneer Hangar and fuel farm. Northbound travelers on SH-55 may access the same airport entrance via a center turn lane. There are three access points from Deinhard Lane. The first entrance from the Deinhard Lane/SH-55 intersection is into the main parking lot, which is approximately 330 feet west of the intersection. There is no dedicated turn lane for the airport entrance. As a result, westbound travelers wishing to turn into the airport may cause traffic to back up into the busy intersection. The second access is to the airport administration office, which contains a small parking lot with five spaces and an automated vehicle gate leading to the aircraft apron. The third access point is to an automated emergency access gate, directly across from the McCall Fire Department. There are no dedicated turn lanes afforded to drivers in either direction on Deinhard Lane. Any future widening of Deinhard Lane should take this into consideration. For the U.S. Forest Service complex on the west side of the airport, access is by way of Mission Street. There is a viewing area and Smokejumper Base interpretive site located near the reload area. This analysis does not consider vehicle parking requirements for the U.S. Forest Service side of the airport. The primary parking area for vehicles in the east terminal area is an unpaved parking lot at the intersection of Deinhard Lane and SH-55. It has an irregular shape, and the spaces are not marked. The parking lot is approximately 14,300 square feet and can accommodate approximately 50-65 vehicles in its current configuration. The McCall Aviation FBO has approximately 12 paved parking spaces adjacent to the main parking lot. The Sawtooth Flying Service hangar area has space inside and outside the airport operating area fence for approximately 14 vehicles, although there are no marked spaces. In total, there are approximately 91 vehicle parking spaces available. Figure 5.16 Vehicle Parking (Red) Source: T-O Engineers Page 128 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Vehicle parking demand is based on peak hour itinerant operations, which is discussed in section 5.8.2. It is assumed that based aircraft operators will park their vehicle(s) in their assigned aircraft parking space or hangar, not in the dedicated parking lots. For itinerant traffic, four people per operation are assumed for each air taxi operation, while two people are assumed for each general aviation operation. One vehicle parking space is assumed for every three people. In 2020, 54 people needed to be accommodated during the peak hour, resulting in 18 parking spaces needed. For 2040, the projected demand is to accommodate 64 people and 21 parking spaces during the peak hour. Consequently, there is enough vehicle parking space though the planning horizon to accommodate peak hour itinerant traffic and leave space for other airport users. Despite the adequate space, there are efficiencies that can be gained by configuring and marking designated parking areas at the airport in accordance with the City of McCall Design Guidelines, City Code, and McCall Airport Minimum Standards. Doing so would not only improve efficiency, but would incorporate other City of McCall initiatives, such as the Pathways Master Plan, scenic routes, and public transportation. GENERAL AVIATION TERMINAL There is no general aviation terminal provided by the City of McCall at MYL. That service is provided by the FBO. McCall Aviation has a passenger facility at their FBO building that is approximately 1,940 square feet. Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 113, Guidebook on General Aviation Facility Planning, provides guidance on general aviation terminal size requirements. For planning purposes, terminal square footage requirements can be calculated using the peak hour transient operations, the number of passengers during the peak hour, and an assumption of 150 square feet of terminal space required per person. Using the passenger numbers calculated in section 5.8.3, there were 54 passengers during the peak hour in 2020, and 64 passengers forecast during the peak hour in 2040. This translates into a general aviation terminal square footage requirement of 8,100 square feet in 2020, and 9,600 square feet in 2040. Consequently, there is a general aviation terminal square footage deficit of 6,160 square feet in 2020, and a deficit of 7,660 square feet in 2040. 5.9 SUPPORT FACILITIES DEICING There are no deicing facilities at MYL. McCall Aviation offers deicing services by way of a deicing truck. AVIATION FUEL FACILITIES McCall Aviation is the current fuel provider at MYL. Their fuel capacity is stated below: • Two 12,500-gallon above ground Jet A tanks • One 10,000-gallon underground Jet A tank • One 10,500-gallon above ground 100LL tank • One 2,500-gallon above ground 100LL tank • One 5,000-gallon Jet A truck • One 3,000-gallon Jet A truck • One 1,200-gallon 100LL truck • One 2,400-gallon 100LL truck This results in a total capacity of 43,000 gallons of Jet A and 16,600 gallons of 100LL. Fuel capacity requirements were calculated using 2019 totals and peak month operations (August). In 2019, McCall Aviation reported a total of 247,803 gallons sold. Assuming Jet A made up 67% of the total fuel volume sold, 100LL made up 33% of the total fuel volume sold, and August was 19.3% of the total annual operations in 2019 (37,800 from the forecast), Page 129 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan the result is approximately 32,000 gallons of Jet A and approximately 15,800 gallons of 100LL were consumed in August of 2019. This means that prior to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, McCall Aviation had enough capacity to accommodate the busiest month of 2019. Applying the fuel consumption percentages to August operations in 2019 yields a fuel consumption per operation value of 2.16 gallons/operation for 100LL and 4.40 gallons/operation for Jet A. If it is assumed over the planning horizon the consumption rate per operation decreases for 100LL and increases for Jet A, 2040 rates will be calculated at 2 gallons/operation for 100LL and 5 gallons/operation for Jet A. Using projected operations for August 2040 (7,533) with the assumed fuel consumption per operation rates results in approximately 15,000 gallons of 100LL and approximately 37,660 gallons of Jet A needed for the busiest month expected in 2040. McCall Aviation still has the capacity to accommodate this demand. At the time of this study, Sawtooth Flying Service gained approval to sell 100LL at MYL from a 10,000-gallon tank. In addition to adding capacity to the fuel demands of the airport, it will provide another fuel option for airport users. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE DEW Aircraft, Inc. provides aircraft maintenance services at MYL. They are currently operating out of the McCall Aviation hangar but have an agreement with the City of McCall to develop a new maintenance facility west of the SRE building and airport administration offices, known locally as the Deinhard 1/Hangar 98 Project. AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIRE FIGHTING (ARFF) McCall Municipal Airport does not have its own ARFF capabilities, as it is not required. However, the McCall Fire Department is located across the street from the airport on Deinhard Lane, with an airport emergency access gate directly across from the station. According to the McCall Fire & EMS website2, the vehicles at the station include: • Engine #11: Type 1 with 1,500 gallons/minute of foam and 750 gallons of water. • Engine #12: Type 1 with 1,750 gallons/minute of foam and 500 gallons of water. • Truck #11: Ladder truck with 1,500 gallons/minute of foam and 500 gallons of water. • Pumper Tender #1: Type 2 with 1,500 gallons/minute of foam and 3,000 gallons of water. • ARFF #1: Type 2 airport crash truck with 1,250 gallons/minute of foam and 1,500 gallons of water. The station also has three command vehicles, four ambulances, and one snowmobile. SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT (SRE) According to FAA AC 150/5220-20A, Airport Snow and Ice Control Equipment, non-commercial service airports with more than 10,000 annual operations and at least 15 inches of annual snowfall should have a minimum of one high- speed rotary snow plow, supported by two snow plows of equal snow removal capacity. Current SRE at MYL consists of: • 2006 John Deere 644J loader with snow bucket, snow blade, and general-purpose bucket. • 2009 New Holland TV6070 bidirectional tractor with towed 12-foot rotary broom. • 1992 Rolba rotary snow plow. • 2016 Henderson dump truck with 20-foot plow. The equipment is stored in an SRE building that was constructed in 2011 using FAA grant funding. The building is approximately 4,300 square feet and has four bays. The airport manager office is also located in the SRE building. With the high volume of snowfall in McCall, the storage of snow during the winter is a challenge. As the snow is Page 130 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan removed from the aircraft operating surfaces, it must be placed in a manner to not cause damage to aircraft as they taxi, takeoff, or land. Any future development must consider snow storage options. AIR CARGO There are no dedicated air cargo operations or facilities at the airport, and none anticipated through the planning horizon. COURTESY BICYCLES The Idaho Aviation Association has a “Borrow-A-Bike” program, which provides bicycles for visiting pilots at certain airports in Idaho, McCall being one of them. The bicycle shelter is located next to the vehicle access gate at the McCall Aviation FBO. FIREFIGHTING ACTIVITIES Aerial firefighting operations routinely uses the general aviation terminal area as overflow for both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, along with their associated service equipment. While these services are essential to the community, they use space that is otherwise intended for general aviation aircraft. Further, large firefighting helicopters create additional issues with rotor wash and blowing debris. Consideration should be given to space for large helicopter parking and service equipment that is separated from light general aviation parking areas. This will be looked at during the development alternatives analysis. Figure 5.17 Fire Helicopter on Transient Aircraft Parking Apron Source: T-O Engineers Page 131 5. Facility Requirements McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 5.10 UTILITIES City of McCall GIS mapping was reviewed to identify utilities on the airport. It should be noted that the maps may be incomplete, although efforts were in progress at the time of this study to fill in any missing data. A summary of the utility services is listed in Table 5.13. Underground utilities (water, power, sewer) pass east-west just north of the Runway 16 threshold. Any future development will likely require an extension of desired utilities. 5.11 SPONSOR’S STRATEGIC VISION The City of McCall’s vision is articulated in the 2018 McCall Area Comprehensive Plan. The vision is, “McCall is a diverse, small town united to maintain a safe, clean, healthy, and attractive environment. It is a friendly, progressive community that is affordable and sustainable.” There are three vision themes contained in the Dive Deep section of the comprehensive plan, labeled Our Character, Our Economy, and Our Connections. Under the Our Character theme, Land Use element, the comprehensive plan states, “The future land uses of McCall should…capitalize on the airport as an economic catalyst.” Under the Our Economy theme, Economic Development element, Goal 2, Balance and diversify the local economy while maintaining environmental compatibility, Policy 2.3 states, “Promote and utilize the airport, public parks, pathways, waterfronts, the McCall Public Library, and the golf course as economic assets and incentives for business/property development and redevelopment.” The Airport Facilities element is located within the Our Connections vision theme and describes the goals and policies of the City of McCall as they relate to the McCall Municipal Airport. The goals and policies are as follows: Goal 1: Continue to proactively protect the health, safety, and general welfare of both airport users and surrounding neighbors. Policy 1.1: Operate, maintain, and develop the McCall Municipal Airport to ensure safe and efficient aeronautical facilities for all aviation users per City and FAA standards and requirements.

On the west side of the airport, access is controlled by the U.S. Forest Service. The south part of the airport is surrounded by wildlife fencing in various states of condition. Motion activated cameras used during the forecast data collection captured multiple crossings of the taxiway by large game animals just south of the hangar area. The taxiway relocation project installed new 10-foot wildlife fencing along the east side of the new taxiway. This fence should be extended around the south and west side of the runway as part of a future project. Page 133 5.

This chapter examines development concepts to meet the facility requirements and accommodate future aviation demand. Final alternatives, as well as preliminary concepts, were reviewed. Multiple criteria were used in development and evaluation of alternatives for MYL: • Existing Infrastructure: Described in Chapter 3, Inventory, conceptual alternatives weighed the condition or lack of existing facilities at the airport. • Future Aviation Activity: Detailed in Chapter 4, Forecast of Aviation Demand, conceptual alternatives considered the forecast operations and type of aircraft for the next 20 years. • FAA Design Standards: Outlined in Chapter 5, Facility Requirements, alternatives addressed FAA design standards and recommendations. • Community and Airport Goals: Conceptual alternatives were designed based on feedback from the City of McCall and airport users, and support community and economic goals. • Compatible Land Use: Alternatives were designed to ensure compatible land use. • Efficiency: Alternatives aimed to utilize existing space in the most efficient manner, balancing airfield traffic, hangar access, safety areas, and utility lines. • Reasonable and Justified: Only alternatives that progressed toward a reasonable and justified goal were evaluated. • Idaho State System Plan: Design of alternatives incorporated Idaho State System Plan goals and objectives. 6.2 SPONSOR AND USER INPUT Airport stakeholders contributed input to the development of alternatives by way of airport advisory committee meetings, direct communication, and a public open house. 6.3 NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS SUMMARY Chapter 5, Facility Requirements, identified airport deficiencies and considerations. Based on this information, needed improvements are summarized on the next page. Page 136 6. Development Alternatives McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan To enhance safety and meet FAA design standards: • 402-foot runway extension to the south for a future runway length of 6,510 feet. • Update runway designation to 17/35 due to magnetic declination. • Increase size of Runway 16 blast pad to standard dimensions. • Repaint faded runway markings. • Replace and upgrade runway lighting to LED. • Designate Taxiway B as such. • Complete wildlife fencing and/or fill in wildlife fence gaps. • Upgrade Taxiways B-1 and B-2 to meet current taxiway fillet standards. • Repurpose general aviation hangar area taxiways as taxilanes and designate them appropriately. • Remedy nonstandard TOFA between Hangars 211 and 212. • Eliminate wide expanse of pavement at Taxiway B-1 and Runway 16 (runway incursion mitigation measure). • Remedy direct runway access at Taxiways A-2 and B-2. • Replace existing PAPI and VASI with 4-light PAPI system. • Remove tree and terrain obstructions. Considerations to improve efficiency, compatibility, and financial sustainability: • Relocate the ASOS. • Update Airport Influence Area Overlay Zones to reflect the updated ALP. • Explore additional hangar options, including T-hangars. • Upgrade and reconfigure vehicle parking options. • Explore general aviation terminal options (Idaho Airport System Plan objective). • Improve circulation and efficiency within the Terminal Area. • Identify additional helicopter parking areas. • Explore snow storage areas. 6.4 RUNWAY ALTERNATIVES CROSSWIND RUNWAY A crosswaind runway was not pursued, as the primary runway provides greater than 95% wind coverage for all weather, IFR, and VFR conditions. As such, a crosswind runway is not justified TURF SECONDARY RUNWAY A turf secondary runway was suggested by the airport users, as the airport is used by aircraft suited for backcountry operations from unimproved airstrips. This alternative was not pursued, due to the primary runway providing adequate capacity for the forecast activity, and dimensional limitations within the existing airport footprint precluding a secondary runway from meeting airport design standards. RUNWAY EXTENSION To meet the minimum runway length recommendation of 6,510 feet, a runway extension of 402 feet is shown to the south. This requires land acquisition of approximately 32 acres to account for the space needed for the runway, parallel taxiway extension, and protection of the RPZ that sits within the City’s jurisdiction. Terrain obstructions to the south complicate the runway extension, which become more prominent as the runway extends to the south. Extending the runway north was not feasible due to Deinhard Lane and other obstructions. Page 137 6.

This alternative corrects the taxiway fillet design deficiency and installs elevated runway guard lights at the runway hold lines to help prevent runway incursions. TAXIWAY B-1 Taxiway B-1 does not meet current taxiway fillet standards and has a wide expanse of pavement leading onto the runway. This alternative corrects these deficiencies by realigning the runway entrance and the turn from Taxiway B.

Development Alternatives McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Figure 6.5 Proposed Taxiway D PROPOSED TAXILANES F AND G Two new taxilanes are proposed as part of this alternative to allow access to future development in the infield of the terminal area. These north-south taxilanes would be designated Taxilane F and G, with Taxilane F designed and constructed to ADG-I standards, and Taxilane G designed and constructed to ADG-II standards. This would maximize space and establish separate areas for small and medium-to-large aircraft. PROPOSED TAXIWAY D As a result of the relocation of parallel Taxiway A in 2020, the diagonal taxiway within the terminal area was eliminated. To provide enhanced safety, circulation, and efficiency, a replacement was desired. This alternative installs a new east-west taxiway, proposed Taxiway D, along the southern edge of the existing transient apron, connecting Taxiway A to Taxiway E. This location ties into an existing stub from Taxiway A and avoids the segmented circle, ASOS, proposed fire aircraft parking apron, and choke points along Taxiway E. Proposed Taxiway D would be designed and built to ADG-II standards to allow free-flow of all aircraft expected to use the airport.

Moving forward, taxiways and taxilanes will be arranged in a logical order, per FAA Engineering Brief 89, Taxiway Nomenclature Convention. Taxiway B is a partial parallel taxiway on the west side of the airport with two connectors, B-1 and B-2, starting at the Runway 16 end. Taxiway A is a full parallel taxiway that was relocated in 2020 on the east side of the runway. It has five connectors, A-1 through A-5, starting at the Runway 16 end. Portions of the connectors were reconstructed in 2020 as part of the Taxiway A project. A runway extension to the south would require an extension of Taxiway A and an additional connector, A-6. Within the terminal area, taxiway and taxilane designations begin with Taxiway C on the north end of the apron and progress through Taxilane K on the south end of the hangar complex. Taxilanes E-1 through E-3 identify the hangar rows east of Taxiway E.

This alternative proposes relocating the ASOS south to its previous position east of Taxiway A. This location was selected because it has an easement, utilities, and meets the ASOS siting criteria for the existing and future runway length. Moving the ASOS to this location requires land acquisition of approximately 12 acres to ensure full protection of the ASOS critical area. Page 144 6. Development Alternatives McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Figure 6.9 Proposed ASOS Location with Land Acquisition 6.7 GENERAL AVIATION TERMINAL The purpose of having a general aviation terminal at MYL is to have an official “store front” for the City at the airport. This would allow consolidation of City administrative offices and provide opportunities to lease office and counter space to seasonal or perennial aviation providers. The terminal would also include a pilot lounge, waiting room, and passenger amenities. The existing terminal area is constrained and does not provide enough space to construct a new general aviation terminal with adequate aircraft parking apron and space for vehicle parking, without having to remove existing tenants or tie-down spaces. To provide maximum access to the public, the general aviation terminal should be placed on the airport near Deinhard Lane or State Highway (S.H.) 55 and have direct access to the taxiway system. As such, from a geographic standpoint the best location for the general aviation terminal is east of Taxiway A, south of the existing terminal area. This alternative requires approximately 17 acres of land acquisition and an extension of Krahn Lane west of S.H. 55. The acquisition would accommodate a 9,600 square foot general aviation terminal, parking apron and taxiway access meeting ADG-II standards, 13 parking spaces for medium-sized jets and turboprops, vehicle parking with 20 spaces, and room for future expansion.

Development Alternatives McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 6.8 INFIELD DEVELOPMENT The addition of Taxilanes F and G in the infield create opportunities for development of hangars to meet the demand posed by the hangar wait list. Due to the present position of the ASOS, and its associated critical area, hangar development is constrained to those areas outside of the critical area until the ASOS can be relocated. As a result, two development alternatives were created for the infield – Phase 1, which maintains the ASOS in situ, and Ultimate, which assumes the ASOS is relocated to another place on the airport in the future. PHASE 1 The east side of the development area, between Taxilane F and Taxiway E, is intended strictly for small, piston aircraft. Outside of the ASOS critical area, there is space for up to 15 small (40’ x 50’) box hangars, opening to the west onto Taxilane F. The remaining space is filled with seasonal tie-downs, paved or unpaved, which would be used as snow storage in the winter. The center section of the development area, between Taxilanes F and G, is intended for small and medium-size aircraft. Large (up to 100’ x 100’) and medium (60’ x 60’) box hangars are positioned at the south end of the infield opening west onto Taxilane G. The remaining space is filled with seasonal tie-downs that would be used for snow storage in the winter. Tie-downs could be paved or unpaved. The western portion of the infield is reserved for one large hangar, up to 120’ x 120’, opening directly onto Taxiway Figure 6.11 General Aviation Terminal Land Acquisition R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A 1 1 1 1 1 5 5 5 5 5 ' ' ' ' ' B B B B B R R R R R R L L L L L L 2 2 2 2 2 5 5 5 5 5 ' ' ' ' ' B B B B B R R R R R R L L L L L L 3 3 3 3 3 5 5 5 5 5 ' ' ' ' ' B B B B B R R R R R R L L L L L L TAXILANE E3 PROPOSED TAXILANE K TAXIWAY A PROPOSEDLAND ACQUISITIONAPPROXIMATELY 17 AC Ë 0 100 200Feet Page 147 6.

A new parking pad that can be used for overflow firefighting aircraft is added between the segmented circle and proposed Taxiway D. The pad is large enough for two heavy firefighting helicopters and support equipment, or one Canadair CL-215 “Super Scooper” firefighting aircraft, plus support equipment.

Development Alternatives McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 6.11 OBSTRUCTIONS During the Airport Master Plan study, the FAA conducted a survey of obstructions around MYL and identified numerous obstructions, mostly trees, north, south, and east of the airport (this survey was conducted outside of the Airport Master Plan, but parallel to it). Consequently, the FAA modified the instrument approach procedures for both runway ends, rendering the Runway 34 LPV and LNAV/VNAV, Runway 16 straight-in at night, and Runway 16 circling approaches at night unavailable. Also, the Runway 16 PAPI had been permanently turned off due to obstructions. In June 2021, the Runway 16 PAPI was removed from the airport. Any future visual glide slope system installation, for either runway end, will need to resolve the obstruction issue prior to installation. 6.12 ALTERNATIVES SUMMARY As previously stated, numerous criteria were used to design the future development alternatives for MYL. These designs were tailored to suit the airport, given MYL’s geometry, climate, aviation traffic, and the unique goals and financial capabilities of the local community. Effective planning is necessary to ensure development can occur in an orderly and focused manner. Airport Master Plans, such as this one, facilitate the process. Ultimately, reasonable alternatives were developed to address the short- and long-term needs of MYL. Page 152 6. Development Alternatives McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan PAGE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY Page 153 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SECTION OVERVIEW This chapter presents environmental considerations and factors pertinent to the McCall Municipal Airport, with an emphasis on proposed development. Information is compiled from numerous sources, notably multiple governmental agencies. 7.1 GENERAL The purpose of considering environmental factors in airport master planning is to help the Airport Sponsor evaluate potential development alternatives and expedite future environmental evaluations. Airport planning provides the basis for a project’s purpose and need and aids in completing an environmental evaluation to fulfill requirements set forth by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. NEPA PROCESS The NEPA process evaluates the environmental effects of a federal undertaking, including its alternatives. There are three levels of analysis: categorical exclusion (CATEX) determination; preparation of an environmental assessment/ finding of no significant impact (EA/FONSI); and preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS). • CATEX: An undertaking may be categorically excluded from a detailed environmental analysis if it meets certain criteria that a federal agency has previously determined as normally having no significant environmental impact. • EA/FONSI: At the second level of analysis, a federal agency prepares an EA to determine if a federal undertaking would significantly affect the environment. If the answer is no, the agency issues a FONSI, which may include measures to mitigate potentially significant impacts. • EIS: If the EA determines that the environmental consequences of a proposed federal undertaking may be significant, an environmental impact statement (EIS) is prepared. An EIS is a more detailed evaluation of the proposed action and alternatives. 7.2 AIR QUALITY The Clean Air Act (CAA) is the primary statute related to air quality. The CAA regulates air pollutant emissions from stationary and mobile sources and authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six pollutants, called criteria air pollutants. The criteria pollutants include carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), particle pollution (PM-10 and PM-2.5), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).1 McCall Municipal Airport is in attainment for all criteria pollutants.2 The projects proposed in this Airport Master Plan are unlikely to cause or create a reasonably foreseeable increase in air emissions, as the projects are not Page 154 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan anticipated to increase or change aircraft operations. Temporary air quality impacts during construction would be short-term and of local impact. Emission reduction strategies will be employed to minimize air quality impacts, such as re-using materials onsite, using locally sourced materials to reduce the number of vehicle trips and trip lengths, and using dust control measures during construction. 7.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES FEDERALLY LISTED SPECIES AND CRITICAL HABITATS Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) applies to the actions proposed or performed by federal agencies and sets forth requirements to determine if the proposed action(s) may impact endangered or threatened species. In accordance with Section 7 of the ESA, the FAA must initiate consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and/or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) if the FAA determines that an action may affect a threatened or endangered species or designated critical habitat.3 The Information, Planning and Conservation (IPaC) online system provides information regarding federally designated proposed, candidate, threatened, and endangered species, final critical habitats, species of conservation concern, and service refuges that may occur in an identified area or may be affected by proposed activities.4 The McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan project IPaC resource report identified one threatened species that may occur within the airport property or vicinity: northern Idaho ground squirrel. The northern Idaho ground squirrel occupies dry montane meadows, such as open areas of grasses and forbs surrounded by Ponderosa pine or Douglas fir.5 A field survey for presence/absence of northern Idaho ground squirrel was conducted by Dr. Yensen (Department of Biology, The College of Idaho, Caldwell) in June 2009 within the vicinity of the Taxiway A relocation project.6 The survey did not identify any northern Idaho ground squirrels, nor any burrows or signs of the species’ presence within the taxilane project area. The report noted that flood irrigation practices surrounding the airport is unsuitable for the species. Likewise, the projects proposed for this Airport Master Plan are mostly in areas that are already developed, with a high level of disturbance and impervious surfaces. At the south end of Runway 34, wetlands likely occur; however, these wetland habitats are not suitable for northern Idaho ground squirrel. Due to lack of suitable habitat, the projects proposed in this Airport Master Plan are expected to have no effect on northern Idaho ground squirrel. STATE LISTED SPECIES In 2011, an Environmental Assessment was performed for the Taxiway A relocation project. As a part of this project, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) provided a list of “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” that have been reported to occur within a 5-mile radius of the airport. These species included: spur-throat grasshopper, bald eagle, black-backed woodpecker, blue grosbeak, Columbia spotted frog, common loon, flammulated owl, Gillette's checkerspot, great gray owl, merlin, mountain quail, northern goshawk, pristine pyrg, pygmy nuthatch, shiny tightcoil, thinlip tightcoil, upland sandpiper, western toad, and white-headed woodpecker. The EA determined the following species are unlikely to occur due to lack of presence or lack of suitable habitat: spur-throat grasshopper, black-backed woodpecker, blue grosbeak, Columbia spotted frog, common loon, flammulated owl, Gillette's checkerspot, merlin, northern goshawk, pristine pyrg, pygmy nuthatch, shiny tightcoil, thinlip tightcoil, upland sandpiper, or white-headed woodpecker. MIGRATORY BIRDS Birds are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act Page 155 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan (BGEPA). Work that could lead to the take of an avian species protected under the MBTA and/or the BGEPA, their young, eggs, or nests, should be coordinated with the USFWS before any actions are pursued. The IPaC Report identified the following species in Table 7.1 as Migratory Birds of Conservation Concern that may occur within airport property or vicinity. Of the birds listed in Table 7.1, there is a lack of suitable habitat at the airport for bald eagles, Cassin’s finch, marbled godwit, Clark’s grebe, and golden eagles; therefore, the proposed projects in the Airport Master Plan are not expected to impact these species. However, the runway extension and GA terminal projects may impact, but would not likely contribute to a trend towards federal listing or loss of viability for lesser yellowlegs and rufous hummingbirds. The hangar development proposed for this Airport Master Plan occurs in an area previously disturbed; these projects are expected to have no impact these species. WILDLIFE HAZARDS FAA AC 150/5200-33C, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants on or Near Airports recommends a separation distance of 5,000 feet at airports serving piston-powered aircraft and 10,000 feet at airports serving turbine-powered aircraft from hazardous wildlife attractants.7 For all airports, the FAA recommends five statute miles between the farthest edge of the airport’s operating area and hazardous wildlife attractants. McCall Municipal Airport conducted a Wildlife Hazard Site Visit (WHSV) at the airport and five-mile radius in October 2018. Pictures from game cameras that were deployed from 2015 to 2018 were also used as a part of the WHSV study. The study observed 25 species of birds and 10 species of mammals, including American black bear, mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, coyote, domestic dog, red fox, domestic cat, striped skunk, and yellow-pine chipmunk. Game trail transects revealed that deer and other mammals habitually cross the airport to access water resources and habitat to the west. The North Fork Payette River is approximately a 0.25-mile west of the airport and serves as a wildlife attractant for mammals and waterfowl. The river and surrounding mixed conifer habitat support a wide variety of birds and other wildlife. The FAA Wildlife Strike Database did not identify any wildlife strikes for McCall Municipal Airport between 2010 and 2020.8 7.4 CLIMATE The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that aviation accounted for 4.1 percent of global transportation Greenhouse Gass (GHG) emissions.9 Discussion of potential climate impacts should be documented Table 7.1 Migratory Birds of Conservation Concern Common Name Scientific Name Breeding Season Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus Jan 1 to Aug 31 Cassin's Finch Carpodacus cassinii May 15 to Jul 15 Clark's Grebe Aechmophorus clarkii Jan 1 to Dec 31 Golden Eagle Aquila chrysaetos Jan 1 to Aug 31 Lesser Yellowlegs Tringa flavipes Elsewhere Marbled Godwit Limosa fedoa May 1 to Jul 31 Olive-sided Flycatcher Contopus cooperi May 20 to Aug 31 Rufous Hummingbird selasphorus rufus Apr 15 to Jul 15 Source: USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) Page 156 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan in a separate section of the NEPA document, under a heading labelled “Climate.” For FAA project level actions, the Affected Environment section for climate is dependent on the project and is defined as the entire geographic area that could be directly or indirectly affected by the project. For airport actions, the study area should reflect the full extent of aircraft movements. The FAA’s Air Quality Handbook provides more information on defining the study area. Analysis of GHG emissions should be quantitatively assessed (measured or counted) in certain circumstances but may be assessed qualitatively (based on traits and characteristics). Where the analysis is quantitative, the Affected Environment section for climate should provide the quantitative data for the no action alternative, serving as a baseline. Where the analysis is qualitative, the Affected Environment section should by tailored to the qualitative analysis. The Affected Environment section should also discuss the level of preparedness within the study area with respect to climate change, such as frequency and strength of storms and wildfires. Presently, there are no significant thresholds for aviation related GHG emissions, nor has the FAA identified specific factors to consider in making a significant determination for GHG emissions. There are currently no accepted methods of determining significance applicable to aviation projects. CEQ has noted that it is not currently useful for the NEPA analysis to attempt to link specific climatological changes, or the impacts thereof, to a particular project, as direct linkage is difficult to isolate and understand. While GHG emissions reduction for FAA actions contribute toward the goal of reducing aviation’s impacts on climate, GHG emission reduction is not mandated and, in some situations, not possible. The 2018 City of McCall Comprehensive Plan, Environmental & Natural Resources Goals and Policies includes the following: • Goal 3: Promote, encourage, and maintain the highest standards of air quality. • Policy 3.4: Promote reductions in air pollution to minimize the impact to human health, sustain or improve the local economy, improve air quality, and reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. • In 2019, the City of McCall embarked on a greenhouse gas emission inventory to assess local government and residential emissions. The airport will be included in this inventory effort. 7.5 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ACT 4(f) Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act, states that the Secretary of Transportation will not approve any program or project that requires the use of any publicly owned land from a public park, recreation area, or wildlife and waterfowl refuge or historic site of national, state, or local significance as determined by the officials having jurisdiction thereof, unless there is no feasible and prudent alternative and the project includes all possible planning to minimize harm resulting from the use.10 A property must be a significant resource for Section 4(f) to apply. Any part of a Section 4(f) property is presumed to be significant unless there is a statement of insignificance relative to the entire property by the federal, state, or local official having jurisdiction over the property. Section 4(f) protects only those historic or archaeological properties that are listed or eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), except in unusual circumstances. Review of structures at the airport showed that one of the hangars constructed in 1932 is listed in the National Register of Historic Places (building #38). The nearest recreational resource is Riverfront Park owned by the City of McCall, approximately 0.3 miles west of the airport. There are no recreational resources on airport property. None the proposed alternatives will require the physical use or constructive use of any public property as defined by Section 4(f) standards. Page 157 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 7.6 FARMLANDS The Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) regulates Federal actions with the potential to convert farmland to non- agricultural uses. Farmland includes prime farmland, unique farmland, and land of statewide or local importance. For McCall Municipal Airport, the NRCS Soil Resource Report identified six soil types, listed in Table 7.2. Table 7.2 Prime and Other Important Farmlands Map Symbol Map Unit Name Farmland Classification 16 Donnel sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes Farmland of statewide importance if irrigated 17 Donnel sandy loam, 2 to 4 percent slopes Farmland of statewide importance if irrigated 22 Gestrin loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes Farmland of statewide importance if irrigated 23 Gestrin loam, 2 to 4 percent slopes Farmland of statewide importance if irrigated 31 McCall complex, 5 to 50 percent slopes Not prime farmland 34 Melton loam Not prime farmland Donnel sandy loam and Gestrin loam are considered farmland of statewide importance, if irrigated. These soils are not irrigated, and therefore, do not meet statewide importance criteria. The other two soil types located in the project area are not considered prime, unique, or statewide important farmland. None of the soils meet criteria for prime farmland, unique farmland, or land of statewide or local importance that are subject to the FPPA. Source: NRCS Web Soil Survey Page 158 7.

Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 7.7 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, SOLID WASTE, AND POLLUTION PREVENTION HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Federal, state, and local laws, including the Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended (also known as the Superfund), and the Idaho Rules and Standards for Hazardous Waste (IDAPA 58.01.05), regulate hazardous materials use, storage, transport, and disposal. RCRA set up a framework for the proper management of hazardous waste. From this authority, EPA established a comprehensive regulatory program to ensure that hazardous waste is managed safely from "cradle to grave" meaning from the time it is created, while it is transported, treated, and stored, and until it is disposed.11 The EPA maintains a list of superfund sites called the National Priorities List (NPL) in accordance with CERCLA. These sites have known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants throughout United States and its territories. There is one superfund site in Valley County, Idaho, the Stibnite/Yellow Pine Mining Area approximately 37 miles east of McCall. The Facility Mapper (Terradex Idaho) shows the location and details regarding remediation sites and facilities managed by the regulatory programs within the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) Waste Management and Remediation Division. Table 7.3 lists active sites identified by Terradex on airport property. Table 7.3 Facility Mapper Sites on McCall Municipal Airport Type ID Substance Cleanup Complete Facility Name Underground Storage Tanks (UST)3-430619 Jet Fuel -McCall Aviation Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST)1733 -01/07/2010 McCall Aviation According to AC 150/5100-17, Land Acquisition and Relocation Assistance for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Assisted Projects, as part of the project planning and environmental assessment phases, the Airport Sponsor should have an adequate due diligence environmental audit conducted for the presence of hazardous materials and contamination on property needed for a project.12 Contaminated property must be avoided as is feasible, or the use minimized to avoid excessive project costs for the clean-up and remediation of hazardous materials. These audits include Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, which should identify quantities of any hazardous materials located at the proposed project site or in the immediate vicinity of a project site. POLLUTION PREVENTION There are many local, state, and federal regulations that address the impacts of construction activities, including noise, dust, disposal of construction debris, air pollution, and water pollution. Construction activities on airports should comply with FAA AC 150/5370-10H, Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports and FAA AC 150/5370- 2G, Operational Safety of Airports During Construction. Permits may be required for air and water quality. 7.8 HISTORICAL, ARCHITECTURAL, ARCHAEOLOGICAL, AND CULTURAL RESOURCES The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) establishes the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) within the National Park Service (NPS).13 Section 106 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to consider the effects of their undertaking on properties on or eligible for inclusion Source: Terrandex, IDEQ Underground Storage Tank Database Page 160 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan in the NRHP. According to the NRHP, there are 25 sites in Valley County listed on the national register, eight of which are in McCall, and one on the airport.14 The Johnson Flying Service Hangar (Reference #100004675) is located on the airport property.15 A Class III cultural resource inventory was performed by Cannon Heritage Consultants, Inc. (CHC) in August 2020. CHC conducted an intensive pedestrian survey of the hangar development project APE, as shown in Figure 7.2. The survey identified no cultural resources sites or relevant cultural materials. CHC recommended a finding of no historic properties for the surveyed area and no additional archaeological work would be required for development plans within the surveyed areas. Any projects that may cause disturbance to structures or ground outside the surveyed area, such as the runway extension and GA terminal projects, would require additional investigation regarding cultural resources. Figure 7.2 Class III Cultural Resource Inventory Survey Area Page 161 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 7.9 LAND USE FAA Order 1050.1F states that the compatibility of existing and planned land uses in the vicinity of an airport are usually associated with the extent of the airport’s noise impacts.16 Order 1050.1F requires documentation to support the required Sponsor’s assurance under 49 USC 47107(a)(10) that appropriate action, including the adoption of zoning laws, has been or will be taken, to the extent reasonable, to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations for existing and planned land uses.17 The McCall Municipal Airport is located approximately one mile southwest of downtown McCall. The Code of McCall, Idaho (“the Code”) is a compilation of permanent laws currently in effect in McCall. Title 3 Chapter 7 of the Code outlines requirements for land uses compatibility that prevent the creation or establishment of airport hazards.18 The Code discourages the siting of incompatible land uses where there is a general aviation airport located, through its comprehensive plan and development regulations. Please see Chapter 3, Airside and Landside Inventory of this Master Plan for more details on Land use. 7.10 AIRCRAFT NOISE Noise levels are measured in Day/Night Levels (DNL). A DNL is an average of day and nighttime levels of sound and is computed so that nighttime sound levels are given more weight. The FAA and EPA have set the guideline at 65 DNL to determine compatible land use around airports. On noise contour maps, the louder rings will be at the core of the airport around the runway(s) and decrease as they move outward. For this Airport Master Plan, noise contours for 55, 60, 65, and 70 DNL were generated for the 20-year forecasted operations by using the FAA’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) and assuming a 402-foot future runway extension, along with operational data collected during the forecast in chapter 4. Since the runway extension project requires property acquisition south of the existing Runway 34 end, the future 65 DNL noise contour would remain within the future airport property boundary. Table 7.4 outlines the operational assumptions used in the noise model, using forecast operations data from the approved forecast. Page 162 7.

Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 7.11 SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACTS, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS SOCIOECONOMICS A socioeconomic analysis evaluates how elements of the human environment such as population, employment, housing, and public services might be affected by a proposed action or alternative. According to the 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) five-year estimates, McCall has a population of 3,347 people, with the median age being 48.9 years old.19 The unemployment rate is 2.4% with 65.1% of the population that is capable of working maintaining employment20. The average median household income for McCall is $50,711, which is lower that Valley County ($64,475). ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. The 2019 ACS five-year estimates report that almost 12.7% of population in McCall are living below poverty line, while almost 7% of Valley County population are living below poverty line. Table 7.5 shows the population distribution by race. Table 7.5 McCall Population Distribution by Race Race Total White alone 3,324 Black or African American alone 0 American Indian alone 4 Asian alone 18 Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone 0 Some Other Race alone 0 Two or More Races 1 Source: U.S. Census Bureau 2019 ACS Five Year Estimates Proposed projects associated with this Airport Master Plan would provide positive long-term health and safety benefits around the airport, for example fire protection and medical transport, to all persons equally, regardless of race or socioeconomic status. No concentrations of minority populations have been identified that would be disproportionally affected by the proposed projects. That being said, it should be acknowledged that the airport sits upon Native American ancestral lands of the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) that was ceded to the U.S. in June 1855 via Cession number 366, and the City of McCall is grateful for the opportunities afforded on said land. CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks requires agencies to make it a high priority to identify and assess environmental health and safety risks that may disproportionately affect children. According to the 2019 ACS five-Year estimates, approximately 15.2% of the population of McCall, which includes the McCall Municipal Airport, are under 18 years old.21 Consequently, actions at the airport are not expected to disproportionately affect children. Page 165 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 7.12 VISUAL EFFECTS FAA Order 1050.1F Desk Reference states that visual, or aesthetic impacts are inherently more difficult to define because of the subjectivity involved. Visual effects deal broadly with the extent to which the proposed action or alternatives would either produce light emissions that create annoyance or interfere with activities or contrast with, or detract from, the visual resources and/or the visual character of the existing environment. The FAA has not established a significance threshold for light emissions and visual resources/visual character. Development of hangars and a GA terminal would change the appearance of the area during and after construction. The presence of structures would result in a temporary change to the visual character of the area, but development would be consistent with the style and uses of existing structures at the airport. The hangar development area is in proximity to the existing historic hangar; therefore, SHPO should be contacted prior to any development that may indirectly affect the visual resources of the Johnson Flying Service Hangar or other above-ground structures older than 45 years. The runway extension project and GA terminal are not expected to affect the visual character of the area, as they are consistent with existing airport infrastructure. 7.13 WATER RESOURCES Water resources are surface waters and groundwater that are important in providing drinking water and in supporting recreation, transportation and commerce, industry, agriculture, and aquatic ecosystems. Disruption of any one part of this system can have consequences to the functioning of the entire system.22 WETLANDS Jurisdictional wetlands are federally protected under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) , which regulates the discharge of dredge or fill material into Waters of the United States, including wetlands. Under the CWA, the term wetlands are defined as areas that, under normal circumstances, support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.23 Valley County Land Use and Development Ordinance requires approval of the USACE under the CWA for any grading or disturbance of wetlands. The federal permit issued by the USACE shall be part of the Conditional Use Permit.24 A review of the USFWS National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Map, Figure 7.4, identified intermittent stream and palustrine emergent wetlands associated with the Stringer Irrigation Canal system on the east and North Fork Payette River on the west side of the airport. As it is shown in the NWI map, development proposed for hangar area is outside of wetland areas. A wetland delineation was performed in 2019 that identified wetlands along the eastern side of Taxiway A; these wetlands likely extend south and east of Runway 34.25 The NWI Map also shows wetlands within this area. Therefore, the runway extension and GA terminal projects may have potential impacts to the wetlands. A wetland delineation, avoidance and minimization measures, permitting, and/or mitigation measures may be required for these projects. Page 166 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Figure 7.4 McCall Municipal Airport Wetlands Source: USFWS FLOODPLAIN According to the FAA 1050.1F Desk Reference Chapter 14, floodplains are lowland areas adjoining inland and coastal waters that are periodically inundated by flood waters. Floodplains are often discussed in terms of the 100- year flood.26 The 100-year flood is a flood having a 1% chance of occurring in any given year. The 100-year flood is also known as the base flood. McCall Municipal Airport is located in the “Zone X” flood zone, which is outside the 100-year floodplain, as depicted in Figure 7.5. Thus, none of the projects proposed in this Airport Master Plan will impact floodplains. Page 167 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan Figure 7.5 McCall Municipal Airport Floodplain Map Source: FEMA Page 168 7. Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SURFACE WATER Surface waters include streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, estuaries, and oceans. The CWA27 establishes the basic structure for regulating the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States, specific sections include Section 303(d), Section 404 and 401 (refer to wetland section), and Section 402, which establishes the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program.28 Section 303(d) sets forth the process to identify impaired waters and to establish the maximum amount of pollutant allowed in a waterbody, known as the total maximum daily load, necessary to assess current conditions and project impacts.29 If project activities have the potential to discharge pollutants into Waters of the United States through a point source, a NPDES permit will likely be required. IDEQ may also require an Idaho Pollution Discharge Elimination System (IPDES) permit if a project disturbs one or more acres of land. Surface water resources on the airport are associated with Stringer Ditch Irrigation Canal and one intermittent stream that drain west and southwest towards the airport, underly the airport via a series of culverts, and then enter another drainage system that is connected to the North Fork Payette River. A drainage ditch constructed north- south and parallel to Taxiway A receives overflow water from a snow storage basin area (proposed location for hangar development), stormwater runoff from the adjacent taxiway, and inflow from intersecting irrigation ditches. The irrigation ditches and north-south airport drain are all manmade, while the intermittent stream is natural but has been channelized along the eastern edge of the airport property. Alterations to a stream channel may require a permit from the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR). The City of McCall has introduced Drainage Management Guidelines (DMG) to provide a comprehensive approach to implementing Best Management Practices (BMP’s) that will protect the water quality in both the Payette Lake and the North Fork of the Payette River and minimize the impact to the surrounding environment from the pollutants generated by the direct or indirect impact of new development within McCall, Idaho. The DMG would need to address temporary sediment and erosion control BMP’s to be used during construction as well as permanent BMP’s.30 As stated in City of McCall, Code of Ordinances, no construction, alteration or activity shall cause harm to water quality, fish and aquatic habitats, wetlands, significant wildlife habitat harboring any threatened or endangered species, views of, from, or across a lake or river. All applications for building permits within overlay zone, no matter what the permit may be for, shall be accompanied by a plan for the installation of appropriate natural, storm, and melt water drainage and treatment facilities. Such plans for natural, storm and melt water drainage of the property and on and through the property, shall be consistent with best management practices under state and federal storm and melt water regulatory programs to which the city is subject and consistent with other city programs in these regards to the satisfaction of the city.31 The airport should implement proactive stormwater management practices to reduce the amount of pollution that enters the surface water resources close to the airport property. GROUNDWATER Groundwater availability in the McCall area is quite variable due to complex surface geology. In general, groundwater levels in the McCall areas are stable. Depths to groundwater vary from near ground surface near the lake or river, to more than 100 feet in some upland areas.32 According to the IDWR, there are no wells within the airport property.

Environmental Overview McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 7.14 AIRPORT MASTER PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW Table 7.6 Potential Environmental Impact Categories and Mitigation Measures Impact Category Potential Mitigation Measures Air Quality Use Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction. Biological Resources Consultation with USFWS and the state office may be required to determine impacts to federally-listed and state-listed species, respectively. Construction BMP’s should be implemented to avoid water quality impacts. Any tree removal should occur outside of the nesting season. Any future actions taken at the airport should be done in accordance with the recommendations outlined in the Wildlife Hazard Site Visit report. Climate Use data from the City’s GHG Inventory Study to establish a baseline from which to assess future emission reduction measures. Coastal Resources Not applicable. DOT Act Section 4(f)Further analysis may be required to determine impacts to Section 4(f) resources. Farmlands Not applicable. Hazardous Materials, Solid Waste, and Pollution Prevention Use BMPs during construction. Historical, Architectural, Archaeological, and Cultural Resources Not applicable for the surveyed area for the hangar development; however, proposed area for runway extension and GA terminal should be surveyed for historical resources. Land Use Comply with local land use policies and regulations. Coordination with the City of McCall Planning Department will be required. Natural Resources and Energy Supply No significant impacts are expected. Noise and Noise Compatible Land Use AEDT analysis has determined no impact to noise-compatible land use. Socioeconomic Impacts, Environmental Justice, and Children’s Health and Safety Risks No significant impacts are expected, since the proposed projects are either on existing airport property or will be on future property acquired by the airport. Airport design standards have not changed during this Airport Master Plan study. Visual Effects A visual analysis may be required for projects that may indirectly affect the historic hangar. Use BMPs during construction. No significant impacts are expected from lighting. Water Resources The City of McCall’s Drainage Management Guidelines and Code of Ordinances recommend using BMPs to protect water quality and minimize impacts to the surrounding environment from pollutants (direct or indirect) related to development. Cumulative Impacts No significant cumulative impacts are expected. Page 170 7.

Implementation Plan & Financial Feasibility McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SECTION OVERVIEW This chapter reviews the planned capital projects for McCall Municipal Airport, in conjunction with the FAA Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) and the Idaho Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics (ITD Aeronautics), Idaho State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP). Potential future funding sources are examined, and the airport’s revenues and expenses are reviewed to evaluate the financial feasibility of the development plan. 8.1 GENERAL The facilities implementation plan provides guidance on how to implement the findings and recommendations of the planning effort. The plan must balance funding constraints, project sequencing limitations, environmental requirements, agency and tenant approvals and coordination processes, business issues (leases and property acquisition), and Sponsor preferences. Additionally, the plan must comport with the Airport Layout Plan (ALP) and the airport’s financial plan. The plan should be implemented on an as-needed basis that is consistent with the financial capability and needs of the airport and community. 8.2 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Capital projects differ from operations and maintenance (O&M) projects in that capital projects often require substantial funding, can occur over multiple years, and must be planned several years in advance. O&M projects consist of short-term expenses related to the routine maintenance, operation, and management of the airport. Capital projects at a general aviation airport normally consist of aviation infrastructure improvements, land acquisition, and acquisition certain types of equipment, such as snow removal equipment and their associated storage buildings. Airport Master Plans and Airport Layout Plans are usually completed every seven to ten years at general aviation airports. Larger development items are determined to be needed and are justified through these planning efforts. Once planning identifies a project need, it is added to the CIP and SCIP by the Airport Sponsor during an annual review by the FAA and ITD Aeronautics. During the review, completed projects are removed, pending projects are refined, and new needs are added to future years. Once a project is on the CIP, it may take several years to schedule (program) the funding, depending upon the priority of the project. Safety and security projects have the highest priority. The FAA, ITD Aeronautics, and Airport Sponsor share of the project costs are presented in the cost estimates shown on the CIP. For MYL, the typical FAA share is 90% of the total cost of eligible improvements under the AIP grant program. The state’s match for eligible items is 5%, leaving the Airport Sponsor with the remaining 5%. Note: Federal COVID-19 relief programs in 2020 and 2021 provided for 100% FAA matches. Not all development costs are AIP eligible. In such cases, the Airport Sponsor is responsible for the cost of the project. Projects may be funded entirely or partially by the Airport Sponsor, ITD Aeronautics, private developers, or community grants. Page 174 8. Implementation Plan & Financial Feasibility McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 8.3 MASTER SCHEDULE Project implementation is typically driven by future aviation demand and changes in airport design standards. The master schedule is intended to establish project sequencing, based on priority, and maintain schedule integrity throughout the implementation period. The cost estimates provided in Table 8.1 are based on 2020 dollars. Consequently, these estimates should be considered foundational, as actual costs may increase over time due to a wide range of circumstances. The master schedule is presented in three phases, based on federal fiscal years (October 1 – September 30). Phase 1 represents the short-term planning period of 1 – 5 years (FY2022 – 2026); Phase 2 represents the mid-term planning period of 6 – 10 years (FY2027 – 2031); and Phase 3 represents the long-term planning period of 11 – 20 years (FY2032 – 2042). It should be noted that this is a recommended implementation plan, as variance is expected to occur, particularly during Phases 2 and 3, due to changing conditions. PHASE 1 DEVELOPMENT This phase addresses the immediate needs of the airport – pavement reconstruction, infield development, and runway incursion mitigation measures. 1-1 Taxiway D Reconstruction: This project will increase circulation and efficiency within the terminal area by constructing a new taxiway adjacent to the existing transient apron. This new taxiway will be construction to meet ADG-II standards. 1-2 Rehabilitate Runway 16/34: This project will rehabilitate the pavement of Runway 16/34, re-designate the runway to 17/35 due to magnetic declination, and update the runway signage to the new runway designation. 1-3 Infield Development – Extension of Utilities: This project will be Sponsor-funded and will extend utilities into the infield to accommodate future hangar development. 1-4 Infield Development – Phase 1: This project will design and construct new Taxilane F to accommodate future hangar development. Taxilane F will be constructed to meet ADG-I standards. 1-5 Transient Apron Reconstruction – Phase 1: This project will design and reconstruct the transient apron pavement and reconfigure the aircraft parking spaces to meet current design standards and increase efficiency in the terminal area. 1-6 Transient Apron Reconstruction – Phase 2: This is a continuation of 1-5, based on funding availability. 1-7 Pavement Reconstruction – Phase 3: This is a continuation of 1-6, if necessary, and design and reconstruction of Taxiway E, and Taxilanes H, J, K, and E-3. 1-8 Taxiway B-1 Reconfiguration, Runway 17 Blast Pad Expansion, Taxiways A-2 and B-2 Fillets, and Elevated Runway Guard Lights: This project will remove the wide expanse of pavement at Taxiway B-1 and reconstruct it to coincide with the runway end with proper fillets. The blast pad will be expanded to meet current design standards. Taxiways A-2 and B-2 will be reconstructed with proper fillets and elevated runway guard lights to reduce the possibility of runway incursions. 1-9 Runway 17/35 Lighting Replacement: This project will replace the runway edge lights.

Implementation Plan & Financial Feasibility McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 8.4 AIRPORT FUNDING SOURCES Funding sources for airport projects range from federal, state, local, and private developers. Ideally, federal grants from the FAA will be used to fund most of the eligible projects. Some of the eligible projects may not compete well enough to receive discretionary funding, leaving the airport to seek alternative funding sources, or self-fund the projects. This section identifies some of the more common funding sources used for airport projects. FEDERAL AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM A general description of the federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) is provided in Chapter 1, Airports and Master Plans Introduction. AIP grants may come in the form of nonprimary entitlements (NPE), which is currently set at $150,000 per year; discretionary, which MYL competes with other airports for in the FAA’s Northwest Mountain Region; and state apportionment, which is money set aside for the state through the AIP. COVID-19 RELIEF PROGRAMS The COVID-19 pandemic placed a substantial financial burden on airports during 2020, due to lockdowns and travel restrictions. To assist airports, the federal government passed three laws which injected stimulus funding into the airport system – the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act (CRRSAA) in 2020, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) Table 8.1 Development Plan Cost Estimates (Continued) Phase Proposed Development FAA (90%)State (10%)McCall (10%)Total Phase 2 (6-10 Years, Continued) 2-14 (FY31)Pavement Maintenance - TW B-1, B-2, A-2 $300,000.00 $16,666.66 $16,666.66 $333,333.33 2-15 (FY31)Update Airport Master Plan $350,000.00 $19,444.45 $19,444.45 $100,000.00 2-16 (FY31)Install RW 17 PAPI $90,000.00 $5,000.00 $5,000.00 $300,000.00 Phase 3 (11-20 Years) 3-1 Environmental Assessment for Runway Extension $230,000.00 $12,777.78 $12,777.78 $255,555.56 3-2 Extend RW 35 and TW A - Design & Construction $585,000.00 $32,500.00 $32,500.00 $650,000.00 3-3 Pavement Maintenance - RW 17/35, TW A $450,000.00 $25,000.00 $25,000.00 $500,000.00 3-4 Land Acquisition - S.H. 55 Triangle (12 ac) $1,890,000.00 $105,000.00 $105,000.00 $2,100,000.00 3-5 Acquire SRE $675,000.00 $37,500.00 $37,500.00 $750,000.00 3-6 GA Terminal, Krahn Lane Extension - Design & Construction $4,050,000.00 $225,000.00 $225,000.00 $4,500,000.00 Table 8.2 Cost Estimate Summary Phase Federal (90%)State (5%)McCall (5%)Total Short-Term $11,415,500.00 $634,194.45 $934,194.45 $12,983,888.89 Medium-Term $15,282,500.00 $849,027.78 $849,027.78 $16,980,555.56 Long-Term $7,880,000.00 $437,777.78 $437,777.78 $8,755,555.56 Total $34,578,000.00 $1,918,777.78 $2,221,000.00 $38,720,000.00 Page 182 8. Implementation Plan & Financial Feasibility McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan in 2021. These federal laws allowed federal funding to be used for items not eligible under AIP, such as operations, personnel, and maintenance costs, rent relief, payment of debt service, cleaning, and sanitation. CARES, CRRSAA, and ARPA grant funding came from the U.S. Treasury’s General Fund, rather than the Airport and Airway Trust Fund (AATF). STATE FUNDING The Idaho Airport Aid Program (IAAP) provides for the discretionary allocation of grant funds to Idaho airport owners. Only public entities are eligible to participate in the IAAP. Any county, city, village, or agency designated in Idaho Code is deemed an eligible public entity for participation in the IAAP. IAAP funds are derived from Idaho’s aviation fuel tax, $.07/gallon for aviation gasoline and $.06/gallon for jet fuel. The IAAP is a Trustee and Benefit program providing matching funds to municipal governments for public airport improvements. Allocations must meet high priority needs and achieve maximum benefit and use of available funds. The allocation program is designed to provide the greatest and best utilization of limited Idaho Airport Aid funds. The primary goal of the allocation program is to further the proper development of a statewide system of airports and fair distribution of aviation tax money. The IAAP is administered according to Idaho Administrative Code IDAPA 39.04.01. This rule states that an airport owner should have a state approved airport plan (section 701.01), and protective zoning (Idaho law Title 67 Chapter 6508 Section q) in place to participate in the IAAP. However, if they do not have a plan or protective zoning in place, or if these need to be updated, the IAAP can provide funding for those items. ITD Aeronautics also has two other programs intended to assist airports. The Airport Maintenance and Safety Supplies Program supplies airports with certain maintenance items, such as lamps, light fixtures, and wind cones. The Small Projects Program provides funding for emergency or unscheduled improvements of less than $2,000. The Idaho Department of Commerce administers the Idaho Gem Grant Program (IGG) to aid rural communities in the planning and implementation of economic development projects. The program is open to any rural community with a population of 10,000 or less, and must be requested by a city, county, or tribal government. Idaho Gem Grants of up to $50,000 are intended to be used for private sector job creation and economic development. Eligible projects include infrastructure for new businesses and matching funds for economic development projects. The Idaho Department of Commerce also administers the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), which is intended for Idaho cities and counties with less than 50,000 people. Eligible projects include public facility improvements that support businesses who are expanding and creating jobs. Another program administered by the Idaho Department of Commerce is the Rural Community Investment Fund (RCIF), which provides funds to rural areas with a population of less than 25,000 to support economic expansion and job creation. Projects must have a measurable rural benefit and include extension of utilities to a site for a new business or industrial park. Grant limits are $50,000 to $500,000. A local match is required, but there is no set amount. LOCAL FUNDING Local funds are those derived from income generated from the operation of the airport through leases and user fees, or contributions by the sponsoring agency, in this case the City of McCall, from general or other funds. Local Page 183 8. Implementation Plan & Financial Feasibility McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan funds are used to match grants that do not cover 100% of project costs, and to fund operations, maintenance, and administration of the airport. PRIVATE FUNDING Private funding for airport improvements typically comes in the form of investors who are intending to make extensive use of the airport through development of hangars or an airport business, such as an FBO. Such endeavors may require substantial infrastructure improvements that ultimately benefit the public use portions of the airport, but obligate the investor with a significant financial commitment. Financial commitments of this magnitude require long-term agreements between the private entity and Airport Sponsor to make it palatable for investors. REVENUE AND SPECIAL FACILITY BONDS Article VIII, Public Indebtedness and Subsidies, Section 3E, Airports and Air Navigation Facilities – Airport Related Projects – Revenue and Special Facility Bond Financing, of the Idaho State Constitution authorizes airport operators to issue revenue and special facility bonds to finance the cost of airport improvements intended for public use. Bonds would then be paid for with revenue generated by the facilities financed by the bonds. OTHER FEDERAL LOAN PROGRAMS Other sources of funding can be applied for through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the United States Economic Development Administration (USEDA). The USDA Rural Development program is for communities with a population less than 20,000 people. The mission is to create economic prosperity and improve the quality of life in rural areas, where access to financing is more challenging. Funding for Rural Development programs are for projects which enhance community infrastructure, and spur economic growth by providing quality jobs, and attract new businesses. Under the Rural Development program is the Community Facilities Loan Program, specifically for transportation infrastructure, such as airports. Funding may be used for terminals, hangars, runways, parking areas, roadway, curbside, and administrative facilities. Additionally, USDA Community Facility loans may be used as the community match for FAA funding. The average direct loan size is four million, though much larger loans are available. The Community Facilities Program has funded projects greater than $100 million dollars. The interest rates may be fixed or variable and are determined quarterly and posted publicly. The repayment period is limited to the useful life of the facility, or any statutory limitation on the applicant’s borrowing authority. 8.5 FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY The purpose of this section is to demonstrate the Airport Sponsor’s ability to fund the projects described in the CIP. A review of the airports rates and charges will be described, along with revenues and expenses from the airport’s annual budget.

Page 187 8. Implementation Plan & Financial Feasibility McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan REVENUE AND EXPENSE, PROJECTED The following revenue and expense projections were made using very broad and general assumptions, based on historic performance, a Consumer Price Index (CPI) (all items in West urban, all urban consumers, not seasonally adjusted) of 2.5%, and the implementation of revenue generating projects, such as the infield development area. For revenue projections, fiscal years 2023 and 2024 assume a growth rate of 3.0% to account for new lease plots, then 2.5% thereafter. For expense projections, a 3.0% growth rate is assumed to account for CPI, aging infrastructure, and added infrastructure that will require maintenance. At this assumed rate, expenses will catch up to and overtake revenue in FY2040. 8.6 POTENTIAL REVENUE ENHANCEMENT The Airport Sponsor is responsible under Grant Assurance #24 to maintain a fee and rental structure which makes the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances that exist at the airport. Per FAA Order 5190.6B, Airport Compliance Manual, fees for aeronautical uses only need to be fair and reasonable, while fees for nonaeronautical uses must be at fair market value. Charges for nonaeronautical uses at less than fair market value constitute a subsidy of local government and is considered revenue diversion, a violation of Grant Assurance #25. The FAA expects Airport Sponsors to charge police or fire fighting units that operate aircraft at the airport reasonable fees for their aeronautical use, but may offset the value of those services against airport fees (in-kind services). Airport Sponsors may reduce rental rates to aviation museums, Civil Air Patrol units that operate an aircraft at the airport, and aeronautical education programs (if they are provided by an accredited institution), to the extent they provide benefits to civil aviation. McCall Municipal Airport’s fee schedule was last updated in December of 2020. A review of the fee schedule should be conducted annually to ensure the rates and charges are current and relevant, with adjustments made accordingly. Another potential revenue source is from nonaeronautical development along S.H. 55 following land acquisition in Phase 3 of the development plan. Examples for this triangular-shaped parcel include a hotel, restaurant, conference center, self-storage, or campground. One existing nonaeronautical opportunity area is a strip of airport property west of Taxiway B, north of the Smokejumper base, and south of Deinhard Lane. Examples for this area include a Figure 8.4 MYL Revenue and Expense, Historic and Projected $- $100,000.00 $200,000.00 $300,000.00 $400,000.00 $500,000.00 $600,000.00 $700,000.00 F Y 1 7 F Y 1 8 F Y 1 9 F Y 2 0 F Y 2 1 FY 2 2 FY 2 3 FY 2 4 FY 2 5 FY 2 6 FY 2 7 FY 2 8 FY 2 9 FY 3 0 FY 3 1 FY 3 2 FY 3 3 FY 3 4 FY 3 5 FY 3 6 FY 3 7 FY 3 8 FY 3 9 FY 4 0 Total Revenue Total Expenses Page 188 8. Implementation Plan & Financial Feasibility McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan public viewing area, pocket park, community garden, campground, or storage. Any nonaeronautical uses on airport property would need prior approval from the FAA. The general aviation terminal proposed in Phase 3 of the development plan should incorporate leasable space for an aeronautical user, such as an air charter company, which would also generate revenue. Other revenue generating activities in the general aviation terminal include advertising, concessions, ATM, rental cars, and vehicle parking. 8.7 SUMMARY The development plan for McCall Municipal Airport is ambitious and dependent on discretionary funding by the FAA, along with actual airport needs as they present themselves. Alternative funding sources, along with enhanced revenue generating capacity at the airport, will be key to a successful implementation of this Airport Master Plan. Furthermore, the projects contained in the development plan are for planning and programming purposes, and do not commit the Airport Sponsor or FAA to carry out or fund the projects. If a project is not financially feasible or justified, it will not be pursued. Page 189 9. Airport Layout Plan McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SECTION OVERVIEW The Airport Layout Plan is a drawing set depicting the current airport facilities and proposed developments based upon the previously determined aviation demand forecast, facility requirements, and selected alternatives. This chapter describes each drawing included in the set. 9.1 GENERAL An approved Airport Layout Plan (ALP) is necessary for an airport to receive financial assistance under the terms of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982. An airport must keep its ALP current and follow the plan as part of AIP grant assurance requirements and previous airport improvement programs. The ALP creates a blueprint for airport development by depicting proposed facility improvements and a guideline to ensure that development meets airport design standards and safety requirements. The ALP is a set of planning drawings and is intended to provide locations of the major components of an airport; runways, taxiways, aprons, and hangar areas. The various parts of the airport are all interconnected and need to be looked at as a whole. For this reason, the full ALP set is vetted through multiple divisions of the FAA. Each division analyzes the existing airport and planned improvements for overall compatibility with the national system of airports (such as airspace and planned approaches) and for on-airport compliance. After the ALP is approved by the FAA, minor changes to the planning sheets are allowed by the Sponsor to include a slight relocation of a hangar or taxiway. However, FAA design standards and overall use of the land and space as planned must be followed, otherwise the airport drawings must be submitted to the FAA again for approval. This chapter describes, in detail, the ALP drawings for McCall Municipal Airport, and gives a description of the proposed improvements for the airport. The airport and the areas the airport impacts are graphically represented within the drawing set. All layout drawings appropriate to the project were produced using FAA standards as defined in AC 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans and AC 150/5300-13A, Airport Design. The following drawings were produced on 24” x 36” sheets and on 11” x 17” sheets as included in Appendix E: • Title Sheet (Sheet 1) • Airport Data Sheet (Sheet 2) • Airport Layout Plan (Sheet 3A - Existing) • Airport Layout Plan (Sheet 3B - Future) • Airport Airspace (Sheet 4) • Inner Portion of the Approach Surface - Runway Detail (Sheet 5A) • Inner Portion of the Approach Surface - Runway 16 (Sheet 5B) • Inner Portion of the Approach Surface - Runway 34 (Sheet 5C) • Runway Departure Surface - Runway 16/34 (Sheet 6) Page 190 9. Airport Layout Plan McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan • Terminal Area - Overall (Sheet 7A) • Terminal Area - Existing Detail (Sheet 7B) • Terminal Area - Future Detail (Sheet 7C) • Terminal Area - West Side Detail (Sheet 7D) • On Airport Land Use (Sheet 8A) • Off Airport Land Use (Sheet 8B) • Photo and Contours (Sheet 9) • Exhibit “A” (Sheet 10) 9.2 TITLE SHEET The Title Sheet lists the drawings within the set, with approval signature blocks for the Sponsor, ITD Aeronautics, and designated space for the FAA approval letter. This sheet also includes the location and vicinity map, showing the airport, City of McCall, and Valley County in relation to the State of Idaho. The project name, AIP number, and airspace case number are also included. 9.3 AIRPORT DATA SHEET The Data Sheet includes the following information: • Wind rose(s) including data source, time period covered, and wind coverage percentages for the runway. • Airport Data Table: existing and future, including Airport elevation, Airport Reference Point, mean maximum temperature, Airport Reference Code, and design aircraft. • Runway Data Table: existing and future, including percent effective gradient; percent wind coverage; maximum elevation above Mean Sea Level (MSL); runway length, width, surface type, and strength; 14 CFR Part 77 approach category, approach type, and approach slope; runway lighting, markings, navigational, and visual aids; and RSA dimensions. • FAA Approved Airport Modification to Standards Table, including approved date. • Declared Distances Table: existing and future, including Take-off Run Available (TORA), Take-off Distance Available (TODA), Accelerated Stop Distance Available (ASDA), and Landing Distance Available (LDA). 9.4 AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN (ALP) A set of drawings has been described as the ALP, but the main sheet of the set is singularly called the Airport Layout Plan. This sheet is the core of the set and is the overall representation of the existing and planned airport. The existing facility is depicted to show improvements as compared to the existing condition. The surfaces presented, such as the RSA and OFA, include dimensions to show the FAA design standards. If a surface falls short of standards, a note in the appropriate table and drawing will point out the deficiency. A primary function of the ALP sheet is to show the planned development areas, including runways, taxiways, apron areas, expansions or extensions of any kind, and any other changes connected to airport development. The McCall Municipal Airport ALP sheet shows airport development using FAA design standards for an ARC B-II, large, airport. The ALP depicts the existing and future airport facilities and includes facility identifications, description labels, imaginary surfaces, safety areas, and data tables. The ALP includes the following items: • North Arrow showing True and Magnetic North and the year of the magnetic declination. • Airport Reference Point (ARP), existing and future. • Elevations, existing and future, for runway ends, touchdown zones, intersections, runway high and low points, structures on the airport, and roadways where they intersect the RPZ. • Building limit lines. Page 191 9. Airport Layout Plan McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan • Runway details, existing and future, including dimensions, orientation, markings, threshold lighting, runway safety areas, and end coordinates. • Taxiway details, existing and future, including widths and separations from the runway centerline, parallel taxiway, aircraft parking, and objects. • RPZ details, existing and future, including dimensions. • Approach slope ratio. • Sponsor and ITD Aeronautics acceptance, and FAA conditional approval signature blocks. 9.5 AIRPORT AIRSPACE The airport airspace drawing identifies all penetrations to surfaces as defined by 14 CFR Part 77, Safe, Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace. A primary function of the Part 77 drawing is to provide local planners and governments a means to check for potential obstructions from other planned development. A prime example of this would be an application to build a cellular tower near the airport. By using the Part 77 drawing, planners can check obstruction impacts to airport safety surfaces prior to any construction, degrading the airspace or approach procedures. This drawing is one of two that addresses land use protections near the airport; the other, discussed later, is the Land Use plan. Items in the Part 77 drawing include: • Plan view of all 14 CFR Part 77 surfaces, based on the future runway lengths. • Small scale profile views of future approaches. • Obstruction data tables, including terrain and significant items, obstruction identification number and description, the amount of the approach surface penetration, and the proposed disposition of the obstructions. • Contoured base map, runway end numbers, 50’ elevation contours on all slopes, most demanding surfaces more darkly shaded, and top elevations of objects that penetrate any surface. • Runway ends, existing and future, with latitude, longitude, and elevation coordinates. • North Arrow showing True and Magnetic North and the year of magnetic declination. • Obstruction notes listing airspace protection regulations and obstruction survey completion date. • Vertical buffer notes. 9.6 INNER PORTION OF APPROACH SURFACE AND RUNWAY DEPARTURE SURFACE DRAWINGS The Inner Portion of Approach Surface sheet contains: 1) a top-down view of the inner approach for both runway ends with an aerial image with contoured background, 2) profile drawing that displays the center line ground profile detail and critical ground profile for the inner approach of both runway ends, and 3) obstructions to Part 77 surfaces. The Runway Departure Surface contains: 1) a top-down view of the entire approach and departure surface for both runway ends with a topographical background with contours, 2) an oblique view of the same area with contours shaded, and 3) a profile that displays the center line ground profile and critical ground profile beyond the runway ends for approximately 10,000 feet, as well as all surfaces, to determine obstructions. In summary, these drawings include: • Large scale plan views of inner portions of approaches for each runway, usually limited to the RPZ. • Large scale projected profile views of inner portions of approaches for each runway, usually limited to the RPZ. • Plan View Details including aerial photos for base maps, numbering system to identify obstructions, property line, existing and future physical end of the runways with runway end numbers and elevation, and ground contours. • Profile View Details including terrain and significant items and obstructions with numbers on the plan view. Page 192 9. Airport Layout Plan McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan • Approach Profile Details including a depiction of the ground profile along the extended runway centerline representing the composite profile, based on the highest terrain across the width and along the length of the approach surface. • The Approach Profile Details also includes the identification of all significant objects within the approach surfaces, regardless of whether or not they are obstructions and the existing and future runway ends and 14 CFR Part 77 approach slopes. 9.7 TERMINAL AREA The Terminal Area plan is a detailed view of the apron that allows sufficient scale to present dimensions and show imaginary surfaces. When the Sponsor is approached for new hangar development, this drawing should be referenced for available space, location, and appropriate restrictions to meet the design standards, thus ensuring a safe environment. The Terminal Area plan presents large-scale depictions of highlighted areas with existing and future building development opportunities and facilities. The FAA, during the airspace review, ensures that existing and planned building development will not impact instrument approach procedures or hamper improvements to the approaches. Depicted on the drawing is the Building Restriction Line (BRL) which represents where a 35-foot building can be located without penetrating 14 CFR Part 77 surfaces. The Terminal Area drawing presents the following information: • Large scale plan views of the area or areas where aprons, buildings, hangars, and parking lots are located. • A building and data table that lists structures and shows pertinent information including a numbering system to identify structures, top elevations of structures, and existing and planned obstruction markings. • Existing and future airport facility and building list. • Title and revision blocks. 9.8 LAND USE The next drawings used for local protection of the airport is Land Use. These drawings focus on particular uses of the land near the airport, whereas the Part 77 drawing dealt with height obstructions. Incompatible land use can degrade the value of the public investment in the airport and/or heighten the exposure of danger to greater numbers of the public. Studies have shown that generally, aircraft have a greater potential of crashing near the ends of the runway on both takeoff and landing. This heightened potential for risk has caused the FAA to develop safety areas off of the runway ends and develop guidance and standards to preclude congregations or gatherings of people in these zones. Land uses such as hospitals, schools, high density residential (apartment complexes), and other places that have a greater potential for loss of life if an accident were to occur are prohibited or strongly discouraged in these areas. Additional concerns with particular land uses near the airport are wildlife attractants and pilot interference. Limiting the amount of attractive natural ground is important to reduce the potential of wildlife impacts. Specific problem areas are animal attractants, such as golf courses and parks (goose attractant), certain farming activities (mammal and bird attractants), landfills (bird attractant), and other uses like high cover that offer sanctuary to wildlife. Natural occurring attractants should be minimized when possible and man-made attractants should be avoided. Land uses that might interfere with pilot or aircraft operations must be avoided, including power plants or industrial uses that create steam columns/clouds or other visual obstructions. Uses that may cause interference with compasses or radios need to be avoided as well. Page 193 9. Airport Layout Plan McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan The land use and zoning photograph and map display the airport and a large surrounding area. Defined airport safety zones are overlaid and include: • Aerial base map. • Legend with symbols and land use descriptions. • Airport and nearby communities. • City defined airport safety zones. 9.9 AIRPORT PHOTO AND CONTOURS The Airport Photo and Contours depicts the terrain contours, using five-foot and two-foot contours, of land around the airport. General contours are used to highlight possible terrain obstructions and penetrations for approach and departures surfaces. Contours are also used in planning construction and earthwork. The existing airport and proposed facilities, as well as the airport property boundary and safety areas are included for reference against terrain contours. 9.10 AIRPORT PROPERTY MAP (EXHIBIT “A”) The airport property map, also called the Exhibit “A” if prepared in accordance with AC 150/5100-17, Land Acquisition and Relocation Assistance for Airport Improvement Program Assisted Projects, depicts the various tracks of land acquired to develop the airport, and the method of acquisition. It displays easements beyond the airport boundary. The airport property map includes the following information: • Parcel Data Table with a numbering or lettering system to identify tracts of land, the date the property was acquired, the Federal Aid project number under which it was acquired, the type of ownership, and existing and future airport features that would indicate a future aeronautical need for airport property. To qualify as an Exhibit “A”, the drawing must contain the following as directed in AC 150/5100-17, Figure 1.2: • Identify the outside airport property boundary. • All property parcels of the entire airport must be shown and numbered. In addition, parcels that were once airport property must also be shown. • Show and/or directly reference parcel information including: Grantee (selling owner), type of interest acquired, acreage, public land record references such as book and page and date of recording. • For each property parcel show FAA project number if acquired under a grant; Surplus Property Transfer or AP-4 Agreement if applicable; and type of easement (clearing, avigation, utility, ROW, etc.); and if released, date of FAA approval. • Show the purpose of acquisition (current aeronautical, noise compatibility, or future development) and current use if different or in interim use pending development. • Show runway protection zones, runway configurations, and building restriction lines. • Show magnetic and true north arrows per standard drafting practices. • The Exhibit “A” must be dated and amended whenever there is a change to any airport property.

Planning for Compliance McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SECTION OVERVIEW The FAA has published the FAA Airport Compliance Manual, Order 5190.6B. This chapter provides a brief overview of planning needs for compliance with some of these standards. 10.1 GENERAL The FAA published Order 5190.6B, Airport Compliance Manual, in September 2009 that provides guidance on interpreting and administering the various continuing commitments Airport Sponsors make to the U.S. government when they accept grants of federal funds or federal property for airport purposes. The Airport Compliance Program was developed to ensure that Airport Sponsors comply with federal obligations in the form of grant assurances, surplus and nonsurplus obligations, or other applicable federal laws. 10.2 SOURCES OF OBLIGATIONS The federal obligations an Airport Sponsor assumes by accepting FAA administered airport development assistance are mandated by federal statute. These obligations are incorporated in the grant agreements and property conveyance instruments entered into by the Airport Sponsor and the U.S. Government. The sources of Airport Sponsor federal obligations include: • Grant agreements issued through airport development grant programs including: • Federal Aid to Airports Program (FAAP) • Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP) • Airport Improvement Program (AIP) • Grant agreements and instruments of nonsurplus conveyance issued under the: • 1946 Airport Act • 1970 Airport Act • Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 (AAIA) • Surplus property instruments of transfer issued under the provisions of Section 13(g) of the Surplus Property Act of 1944, as amended • Deeds of conveyance issued under section 16 of the 1946 Airport Act, Section 23 of the 1970 Airport Act, and Section 516 of the AAIA • AP-4 agreements authorized by various acts between 1939 and 1944 • Exclusive Rights under section 303 of the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938, as amended and section 308(a) of the FAA Act, as amended • Commitments in environmental documents prepared in accordance with current Federal Aviation Administration requirements that address the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the AAIA Page 196 10. Planning for Compliance McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan • Separate written agreements between the Sponsor and the FAA, including settlement agreements resulting from litigation. 10.3 FEDERAL GRANT OBLIGATIONS The following list of assurances and deed restrictions are those most commonly encountered in compliance cases. a. Exclusive Rights Prohibition: 1) Applies to airports subject to: Any federal agreement or property conveyance. 2) Obligation: To operate the airport without granting or permitting any exclusive right to conduct any aeronautical activity at the airport. (Aeronautical activity is defined as any activity which involves, makes possible, or is required for the operation of an aircraft, or which contributes to or is required for the safety of such operations; i.e., air taxi and charter operations, aircraft storage, sale of aviation fuel, etc.) 3) Duration of obligation: For as long as the property is used as an airport. b. Maintenance of the Airport: 1) Applies to airports subject to: FAAP/ADAP/AIP agreements, surplus property, conveyances, and certain section 16/23/516 conveyances. 2) Obligation: To preserve and maintain the airport facilities in a safe and serviceable condition. This applies to all facilities shown on the approved ALP which are dedicated for aviation use, and includes facilities conveyed under the Surplus Property Act. 3) Duration of obligation: Standard1. c. Operation of the Airport: 1) Applies to airports subject to: FAA/ADAP/AIP agreements and surplus property conveyances. 2) Obligation: To operate the aeronautical and common use areas for the benefit of the public and in a manner that will eliminate hazards to aircraft and persons. 3) Duration of obligation: Standard1. d. Protection of Approaches: 1) Applies to airports subject to: FAAP/ADAP/AIP agreements and surplus property conveyances. 2) Obligation: To prevent, insofar as it is reasonably possible, the growth or establishment of obstructions in the aerial approaches to the airport. (The term “obstruction” refers to natural or man-made objects which penetrate the imaginary surfaces as defined in FAR Part 77, or other appropriate citation applicable to the specific agreement or conveyance document.) 3) Duration of obligation: Standard1. 1 Standard means: 1) Grant agreements for development other than land purchase. Pavement and other facilities built to FAA standards are designed to last at least 20 years, and the duration of the obligation should generally be assumed to be 20 years. The duration may be shorter for grants made exclusively for certain equipment, such as a vehicle, that clearly has a useful life shorter than 20 years. 2) Grant agreements for land purchase. AIP grant agreements for purchase of land provide that obligations do not expire, since the useful life of land does not end or depreciate. However, FAAP and ADAP grants did not always contain this language, and the grant documents should be reviewed to determine whether the obligations expire in 20 years or continue indefinitely. Also, grants to a private operator of a public-use general aviation airport provide for a defined duration of the obligations attached to the grant, and the grant documents should be reviewed to determine the actual obligations that apply. 3) Surplus property deeds and nonsurplus land conveyance documents. Documents conveying federal land and property interests for airport use generally have no expiration date, and obligations continue indefinitely until the Sponsor is formally released from the obligation by the FAA. Obligations run with the land and bind subsequent owners. Page 197 10. Planning for Compliance McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan e. Compatible Land Use 1) Applies to airports subject to: FAAP (after 1964)/ADAP/AIP agreements. 2) Obligation: To take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, to restrict the use of lands in the vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations. 3) Duration of obligation: Standard1. f. Availability of Fair and Reasonable Terms: 1) Applies to airports subject to: Any federal agreement or property conveyance. 2) Obligation: To operate the airport for the use and benefit of the public to make it available to all types, kinds, and classes of aeronautical activity on fair and reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination. 3) Duration of obligation: Twenty years from the date of execution for grant agreement prior to 1964. For grants executed subsequent to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the statutory requirement prohibiting discrimination remains in effect for as long as the property is used as an airport. The obligation runs with the land for surplus property and section 16/23/516 conveyances. g. Adherence to the Airport Layout Plan: 1) Applies to airports subject to: FAAP/ADAP/AlP agreements. 2) Obligation: To develop, operate, and maintain the airport in accordance with the latest approved Airport Layout Plan. In addition, airport land depicted on the latest property map (Exhibit “A”) cannot be disposed of or otherwise encumbered without prior FAA approval. 3) Duration of obligation: Standard1. h. Utilization of Surplus Property: 1) Applies to airports subject to: Surplus property conveyances. 2) Obligation: Property conveyed under the Surplus Property Act must be used to support the development, maintenance and operation of the airport. If not needed to directly support an aviation use, such property must be available for use to produce income for the airport. Such property may not be leased or rented at a discount or for nominal consideration to subsidize nonairport objectives. Airport property cannot be used, leased, sold, salvaged, or disposed of for other than for airport purposes without FAA approval. 3) Duration of obligation: Standard1. i. Utilization of Section 16/23/516 lands: 1) Applies to airports subject to: Section 16/23/516 conveyances. 2) Obligation: Property must be used for airport purposes; i.e., uses directly related to the actual operation or the foreseeable aeronautical development of the airport. Incidental use of the property must be approved by the FAA. 3) Duration of obligation: Standard1. j. Sale or Other Disposal of Property Acquired Under FAAP/ADAP/AIP: 1) Applies to airports subject to: FAAP/ADAP/AIP agreements. 2) Obligation: To obtain FAA approval for the sale or other disposal of property acquired under FAAP/ADAP/ AIP, as well as approval for the use of any net proceeds realized. 3) Duration of obligation: Standard1. k. Utilization of Airport Revenue: 1) Applies to airports subject to: Any federal agreement or property conveyance. 2) Obligation: To use all airport revenues for the capital or operating costs of the airport, the local airport system, or other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport, and directly related to the actual air transportation of passengers or property. 3) Duration of obligation: Standard for grants and conveyances executed prior to October 1, 1996. For airports receiving assistance on or after that date, the obligation continues as long as the facility is used as a public-use airport. Page 198 10. Planning for Compliance McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 4) Special Conditions Affecting Noise Land and Future Aeronautical Use Land: Apply interim revenue derived from noise land or future aeronautical use land to projects eligible for grants under the AIP. This income may not be used for the matching share of any grant. l. National Emergency Use Provision: 1) Applies to airports subject to: Surplus property conveyances (where Sponsor not released from this clause.) 2) Obligation: That during any war or national emergency, the government has the right of exclusive possession and control of the airport. 3) Duration of Obligation: Runs with the land (unless released from this clause by the FAA, with concurrence of the Department of Defense.) m. Fee and Rental Structure: 1) Applies to airports subject to: FAAP/ADAP/AIP agreements. 2) Obligation: To maintain a fee and rental structure of the facilities and services being provided to the airport users which will make the airport as self-sustaining as possible. (Note: Fair and reasonable for aeronautical activities and fair market value for nonaeronautical activities.) 3) Duration of obligation: Standard1. n. Preserving Rights and Powers: 1) Applies to airports subject to: FAAP/ADAP/AIP agreements. 2) Obligation: To not enter into any transaction which would operate to deprive it of any of the rights and powers necessary to perform any or all of the Sponsor assurances without FAA approval, and to act promptly to acquire, extinguish or modify any outstanding rights or claims of right of others that would interfere with such performance by the Sponsor. To not dispose of or encumber its title or other interests in the site and facilities for the duration of the terms, conditions, and assurances in the grant agreement without FAA approval. 3) Duration of Obligation: Standard1. o. Environmental Requirements: 1) The AAIA requires that for certain types of project, an environment review be conducted. The review can take the form of either an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement. These environmental documents often contain commitments related to mitigation of environmental impacts. FAA approval of environmental documents containing such commitments has the effect of requiring that these commitments be fulfilled before FAA grant issuance or as part of the grant. p. Other Obligations: 1) The above obligations represent the more important obligations assumed by an airport Sponsor. Other obligations that may be found in grant agreements include: • Use of government Aircraft • Land for Federal Facilities • Standard Accounting Systems • Reports and Inspections • Consultation with Users • Terminal Development Prerequisites • Construction Inspection and Approval • Minimum Wage Rates • Veterans Preference • Audits, Audit Reports and Record Keeping Requirement • Local Approval • Civil Rights Page 199 10.

This 10-page booklet features a handful of key grant assurances in simplified terms. Notably, Grant Assurances 5, 22, 23, 24, and 25 are highlighted in this publication. Page 202 10. Planning for Compliance McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan 10.5 COMPLAINT RESOLUTION Under 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 13.1, any person who knows of a violation of federal aviation laws, regulations, rules, policies, or orders may report the violation to the FAA informally as a “report of violation.” Under this section, airport users may report allegations of grant assurance violations to the FAA. This is commonly referred to as an “informal complaint.” Individuals seeking to file informal complaints are encouraged to do so in writing. Alleged violations are investigated by the FAA’s local Airports District Office (ADO) or Regional Airports Division. 14 CFR 16, commonly referred to as Part 16, outlines a formal complaint process. In order to file a formal complaint under Part 16, complainants must be “directly and substantially affected” by any alleged noncompliance. Part 16 includes regulatory time frames and detailed procedures associated with the process. The Part 16 Decision Database contains copies of final FAA determinations. Because complaints often focus on similar issues, an understanding of how the FAA has decided a case in the past may be beneficial. Most violations of Airport Sponsor federal obligations are not a deliberate attempt to circumvent federal obligations. Generally, violations occur because Sponsors do not understand specific requirements or how a requirement applies to a specific circumstance. The Airport Compliance Program works to ensure Sponsors are fully informed of their federal obligations and of the applicability of those obligations to the circumstances at a given airport. Informal resolution is the preferred course of action when it comes to addressing complaints of violations. 10.6 COMPATIBLE LAND USE Land use planning is important to ensure that airport investments are not affected by incompatible land uses adjacent to and in the immediate vicinity of the airport. Incompatible land uses at or near airports may result in the creation of hazards to air navigation, reductions in airport utility resulting from obstructions to flight paths, or noise- related incompatible land use resulting from residential areas too close to the airport. Zoning is an effective method of meeting the federal obligation to ensure compatible land use and to protect airport approaches. According to 5190.6B, restricting residential development near the airport is essential in order to avoid noise-related problems. Residential developments can also be incompatible for safety reasons. The development of public facilities such as schools, churches, public health facilities, and concert halls should also be avoided near the airport due to noise incompatibility. Compatibility of land use is attained when the use of property adjacent to and near the airport neither adversely affects flight operations from the airport nor is itself adversely affected by the flight operations. Land uses that adversely affect flight operations are ones that create or contribute to a flight hazard. These can include tall structures, features that inhibit pilot visibility such as light or smoke, produce electronic aberrations in navigational guidance systems, or that attract birds. Order 5190.6B states the FAA’s position in regard to several variations on residential properties on or near airports. Airpark developments allow aircraft owners to reside and park their aircraft on the same property with immediate access to an airfield. The FAA considers residential use by aircraft owners to be no different from any residential use and finds it incompatible with the operation of a public use airport (20.4.b). Permitting development of a residential airpark near a federally obligated airport, through zoning approval or otherwise, would be inconsistent with Grant Assurance 21 (20.4.b). Any residential use existing on the airport or any residential use granting “through-the-fence” access is an incompatible land use (20.4.a). Page 203 10. Planning for Compliance McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan A “through-the-fence” operation is defined by the FAA as any activity or use of real property of an aeronautical or nonaeronautical nature that is located outside (or off) of airport property but has access to the airport’s runway and/or taxiway system. Airport property is property owned by the airport Sponsor and shown on an FAA approved Airport Layout Plan (ALP). “Through-the-fence” operations occur from property that is immediately adjacent to the airport, but which is owned by corporations, businesses, or private parties. These properties are not under control in any manner by the airport Sponsor. Off-airport residential airparks are privately owned and maintained residential facilities. The FAA does not consider them to be aeronautical facilities eligible for reasonable access to a federally obligated airport. Therefore, the Sponsor is under no federal obligation to allow “through-the-fence” access for privately owned residential airparks. Allowing access could be an encumbrance on the airport in conflict with Grant Assurance 5. Residential hangars with “through-the-fence” access are considered incompatible land uses at federally obligated public use airports. Other non-residential “through-the-fence” activities may be allowed, but the Sponsor must make sure that the use agreement does not violate any of the grant assurances. The most common improper and noncompliant land uses include nonaeronautical leaseholds being located on designated aeronautical use land without FAA approval (not shown on the ALP) or on property not released by the FAA. Another common noncompliant land use is allowing dedicated aeronautical property to be used for nonaeronautical uses. This includes using hangars to store vehicles, using property and buildings for animal control facilities, nonairport vehicle and maintenance equipment storage, aircraft museums, and municipal administrative offices. Some common incompatible land uses include the introduction of a wildlife attractant or failure to take adequate steps to mitigate hazardous wildlife at the airport. Other incompatible land uses include wastewater ponds, municipal flood control channels and drainage basins, sanitary landfills, solid waste transfer stations, electrical power substations, water storage tanks, golf courses, and other bird attractants. Towers or buildings that penetrate Part 77 surfaces or are located within a runway protection zone (RPZ), runway object free area (ROFA), object free zone (OFZ), and clearway or stopway are also incompatible uses. 10.7 CONCLUSION According to FAA Order 5190.6B, the FAA Airport Compliance Program is contractually based; it does not attempt to control or direct the operation of airports. Rather, the program is designed to monitor and enforce obligations agreed to by Airport Sponsors in exchange for valuable benefits and rights granted by the United States in return for substantial direct grants of funds and for conveyances of federal property for airport purposes. The Airport Compliance Program is designed to protect the public interest in civil aviation. Grants and property conveyances are made in exchange for binding commitments (federal obligations) designed to ensure that the public interest in civil aviation will be served. The FAA bears the important responsibility of seeing that these commitments are met. The FAA considers all federal airport obligations important. However, the most important objective in the FAA’s oversight of the compliance program is to ensure and preserve safety at all federally obligated airports. Page 204 10.

Sustainability and Recycling SECTION OVERVIEW The purpose of this section is to provide a general overview of sustainability, as well as define the Airport Recycling, Reuse, and Waste Reduction Plan (Plan). The Plan is used to enhance airport recycling and waste minimization efforts at McCall Municipal Airport, and comply with FAA requirements. 11.1 SUSTAINABILITY WHAT IS SUSTAINABILITY? The United Nations convened the Brundtland Commission to address the growing concern about the deterioration of natural resources. In its 1987 report, the commission defined sustainability as, “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) took the approach one step further by incorporating operations into the definition, “a holistic approach to managing an airport so as to ensure the integrity of the economic viability, operational efficiency, natural resource conservation and social responsibility (EONS) of the airport.” Based on these definitions, Airport Master Plans should evaluate how programs and initiatives impact airport users, the surrounding community, and natural environment by integrating sustainability into the airport planning process. Each airport should consider a unique definition of sustainability relating to variable circumstances of the airport and its role in the community. This definition will set the groundwork for future planning and implementation. Accordingly, McCall Municipal Airport will adopt the EONS approach to sustainability, as defined above. The City of McCall has established a committment to sustainability through the 2018 Comprehensive Plan. WHY BE SUSTAINABLE? Along with improving the community and the natural environment, sustainability makes good business sense. Airports that have adopted sustainable practices have reported experiencing tangible benefits including, but not limited to, the following: • Greater utilization of assets; • Reduced operating and maintenance costs; • Improved work environment for employees; • Reduced energy consumption, waste, and emissions; • Improved water quality; and • Positive community relationships. Figure 11.1 EONS Framework of Sustainability Source: Sustainable Aviation Guidance Alliance (SAGA) 11. Sustainability and Recycling Page 206McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan HOW DOES SUSTAINABILITY RELATE TO MCCALL MUNICIPAL AIRPORT? Airport Sponsors have the ability to incorporate sustainability into their Airport Master Plans, based on the needs and resources of each facility. Like any initiative, sustainability measures need to be formally documented and tracked to measure progress. As a core part of the Airport Master Plan process, sustainability initiatives and activities will be identified and documented. One of the practices that contribute to sustainability is a recycling and waste reduction plan. Areas of recycling and solid waste management can be split into multiple categories - those over which the airport has direct control, those over which the airport has influence, and those over which the airport has little or no control or influence. 11.2 RECYCLING, REUSE, AND WASTE REDUCTION PLAN The term solid waste is defined in accordance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, of 1976 (RCRA) but is generally, non-soluble, discarded solid materials, including sewage, municipal garbage, industrial wastes, agricultural refuse, demolition wastes, and mining residues. Sanitary sewer wastes are not considered solid wastes. LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), which amended Title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.), included several changes to the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). Two of these changes are related to recycling, reuse, and waste reduction at airports. a. FMRA Section 132 (b) ) of the FMRA expanded the definition of airport planning to include “developing a plan for recycling and minimizing the generation of airport solid waste, consistent with applicable State and local recycling laws, including the cost of a waste audit.” b. Section 133 of the FMRA added a provision requiring airports that have or plan to prepare a master plan, and that receive AIP funding for an eligible project, to ensure that the new or updated master plan addresses issues relating to solid waste recycling at the airport. This includes: 1. The feasibility of solid waste recycling at the airport; 2. Minimizing the generation of solid waste at the airport; 3. Operation and maintenance requirements; 4. Review of waste management contracts; and 5. The potential for cost savings or the generation of revenue. For the purpose of this Plan, “recycling” refers to any program, practice, or opportunity to reduce the amount of waste disposed in a landfill. This includes reuse and waste reduction as well as the recycling of materials. TYPES OF SOLID WASTE GENERATED AT AIRPORTS Airports generate various types of solid waste. This Plan addresses the recycling, reuse, and reduction of municipal solid waste (MSW) and other materials that can be legally disposed of in a 42 U.S.C. §§ 6941-6949a landfill or equivalent state-permitted facility. Any reference to MSW for recycling, reduction, or reuse in this Plan includes construction and demolition (C&D) Figure 11.2 Recycle Triangle 11. Sustainability and Recycling Page 207McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan debris, organic compostable material such as food and yard waste, and deplaned waste. Definitions of these terms are provided below. Airports can recycle, reuse, or minimize many of the materials described below. This Plan does not address other types of solid waste such as hazardous waste, universal waste (i.e., batteries, fluorescent bulbs, electronics, etc.), or industrial waste. These materials are often subject to Federal, state, and local laws with specific disposal and recycling requirements. The Plan applies to the following: • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) consists of everyday items that are used and discarded. Recyclable MSW at airports includes, but is not limited to, aluminum and steel, glass bottles and containers, plastic bottles and containers, packaging, bags, paper products, and cardboard. • Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris is generally categorized as MSW. C&D debris is any non- hazardous solid waste that results from land clearing, excavation, or construction, demolition, renovation, or repair of structures, roads, and utilities. C&D debris includes, but is not limited to, concrete, wood, metals, soil, bricks and masonry material, asphalt, rock, stone, gravel, sand, roofing materials, drywall, carpet, plastic, pipe, rocks, earthwork, land-clearing debris, cardboard, and salvaged building components. In some instances, C&D debris requires special handling and may be subject to special requirements. Examples include tar-impregnated roofing materials and asbestos- containing building materials. Materials that may be subject to special requirements are not addressed in this Plan. • Compostables, Green Waste, and Food Waste are also categorized as MSW. Green waste consists of tree, shrub, grass clippings, leaves, weeds, small branches, seeds, pods, and similar debris generated by landscape maintenance activities. Food waste is food that is not consumed or generated during food preparation activities and discarded. • Deplaned Waste is MSW that is removed from passenger aircraft. These materials include bottles and cans, newspaper and mixed paper, plastic cups and utensils, food waste, food-soiled paper, magazines, unconsumed or surplus food, and paper towels. Waste that comes off airplanes after flights can represent 20% of an airport’s total MSW stream. The composition is roughly 30% each of paper, compostable food material, and non-recyclable materials, with the balance consisting of cups and beverage containers. Except for Canada, waste from international flights must be processed separately, as this waste can introduce plant pests and diseases. The United States Department of Agriculture regulates international waste. It must be handled in accordance with procedures in the Manual for Agricultural Clearance. Therefore, waste from international flights is not discussed in this Plan 11.3 CONTENTS OF AN AIRPORT RECYCLING, REUSE, AND WASTE REDUCTION PLAN The content and scope of an airport recycling, reuse, and waste reduction plan will vary depending on the unique conditions at each airport. For airports that already have recycling programs, certain tasks (such as a new waste audit) may not need to be completed. Document scope is governed by the extent and accuracy of available information. This includes information on the airport’s current recycling program, the types and amounts of airport waste, and factors that influence the scope of the program. Plans for small, low activity airports may also be less detailed. Though certain tasks may not need to be completed to prepare a plan, review and documentation of each of the five elements listed in the FMRA is required in airport master plans and master plan updates (including sustainability master plans) (see also 49 U.S.C. § 47106(a) (6)). 11. Sustainability and Recycling Page 208McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan SOURCES AND PATHWAYS OF AIRPORT WASTE Each airport activity has its own set of factors, resource requirements, and waste stream. Any plan to implement a recycling program must consider all the activities and waste streams at the facility. The list below describes the typical airport waste streams associated with smaller commercial and general aviation airports. • Airfields: Predominantly runways, taxiways, and infields. Waste produced from aircraft operations consists mostly of rubber from aircraft tires, green waste from mowing, and debris from sweeping and plowing. • Aircraft: Maintenance of aircraft and ground support equipment produces waste, including oil, grease, chemicals, plastic, wastewater, universal waste, and vehicle waste, such as tires and fluids. The party responsible for aircraft and ground support equipment waste varies, typically by whomever owns the vehicle or performs the maintenance. The amount of aircraft waste correlates with the number of operations at the airport. The FBO and maintenance shop are responsible for waste associated with maintenance at the airport. Some waste associated with maintenance is considered hazardous waste and must be handled in accordance federal regulations. • Terminals and Pilot Lounges: Typically, generated waste includes food, paper, plastic, aluminum cans, trash, and deplaned waste. • Administration Offices: Offices produce waste, such as paper, plastic, aluminum cans, food, and universal waste. Office waste is usually solid or compostable and is fairly steady throughout the year. • Airport Construction: Construction at the airport corresponds with programmed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. Construction activities have the potential to create a large amounts of waste, including concrete, asphalt, wood, soil, and metal. These waste streams increase during warmer months, as that is when construction usually occurs. Airport construction wastes are typically solid or C&D. The contractor is contractually responsible for waste associate with airport construction.

Sustainability and Recycling Page 209McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan RECYCLING FEASIBILITY Many airports currently implement solid waste recycling programs. However, program scope varies considerably. This variability may occur due to the size and location of different airports, the amount of waste being produced, and external factors that affect the scope of recycling programs. Variables include, but are not limited to: • Local markets for recyclable commodities; • Cost for transport and processing recyclables; • Local recycling infrastructure; • Identify willingness of an airport and its tenants to implement recycling programs; • The nature of the airport’s waste stream; • Competition between recycling and landfilling firms; and • Airport layout and logistics REVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS AT MCCALL MUNICIPAL AIRPORT Under the current waste management and recycling program, the airport is responsible for waste management, however tenants are required to take care of their own trash disposal per their lease agreement. The airport has a two yard dumpster which is picked up twice weekly by Lakeshore Disposal. It is generally 3/4 full at pickup. Refuse is taken to Valley County Landfill in Donnelly, which is the only landfill in the county. The City of McCall does not have its own local garbage collection or recycling department. All waste and recycling is processed in Donnelly, as all recycling satellite locations were closed as of December 1, 2020. POTENTIAL FOR COST SAVINGS OR REVENUE GENERATION Currently, there are no recycle bins located at the airport, as it was determined there is not a sufficient stream of recyclables generated at the airport. There is a recycling facility available located in Donnelly; however due to marketability, a limited list of materials are accepted. These items include unsoiled cardboard, mixed paper, aluminum, tin, and plastic. Items that are not currently accepted include glass, lightbulbs, batteries, electronic waste, and used oil. Although the airport does not generate a significant amount of accepted recyclable material, the City is always looking for ways to re-use and recycle. AIRPORT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Waste generated through airfield maintenance is negligible and not transported off-site. Sweeping, which does not occur regularly, is primarily dust and dirt, and is swept back into the sand soil off the paved areas. Vegetation surrounding the airport is primarily small weedy bushes, therefore grass disposal from mowing is not a concern. Snow plowed during the winter months is pushed to the dirt and undeveloped areas of the airport and left to melt in the spring. There are no terminal facilities, flight kitchens, or catering services at the airport which would generate waste. PLAN TO MINIMIZE SOLID WASTE GENERATION The ACI-NA Policy Handbook provides a waste decision hierarchy that shows - in order of decreasing priority - what constitutes the best overall waste management choices: to avoid; to reduce; to reuse; to recycle; and finally, to dispose with the ultimate goal of eliminating waste going to landfills. By this decision hierarchy, the first consideration should be given to minimize the generation of waste at the airport and include opportunities for cost savings through improved management of waste, the feasibility of waste recycling at the airport, and the potential for generation of revenue from airport waste. 11. Sustainability and Recycling Page 210McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan The FAA compiled a list of 10 steps, shown in Table 11.1, to assist with designing and implementing an effective recycling/waste minimization program, noting that each airport is unique and faces its own issues. McCall Municipal Airport will explore the following steps while planning for a more sustainable future: 1. Establish a commitment from management to support a recycling/waste minimization program; 2. Include lease/contract language that supports recycling/ waste minimization; 3. Provide additional containers and/or space for recycling; 4. Educate airport staff and users on the importance of recycling and waste minimization. CONCLUSION McCall Municipal Airport has opportunities to enhance airport sustainability, recycling, and waste minimization at the airport by establishing formal policies and procedures. One opportunity to enhance sustainability is the addition of electric aircraft charging stations. Any program established at the airport should include a commitment from management to support sustainability, recycling, education and outreach, setting performance targets, monitoring progress, and seeking continuous improvement. Benefits gained from establishing a recycling and waste minimization program include: 1. Reduced operating costs. 2. Prolonged use of limited landfill space. 3. Reduced environmental liability. 4. Improved public perception of the airport.

The elements of an Airport Master Plan are outlined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); however, the complexity and level of detail for each element depends upon the size, function, issues, and challenges of the airport. The McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan will present a strategy for development while considering the potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts throughout the planning period. The McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan will meet the following objectives: • Understand airport issues, opportunities, and constraints. • Consider the impacts of aviation trends. • Identify the capacity of existing airport infrastructure. • Determine need for airport improvements. • Estimate project costs and funding sources. • Develop a schedule for project implementation. • Obtain stakeholder and public input. Master Plan Process The project begins with a pre-planning phase to determine the scope of work (completed), then will systematically follow the steps shown in the figure. The McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan will incorporate a significant amount of public involvement to ensure the best final product possible. Effective public involvement includes numerous parties, including but not limited to: aircraft owners, airport staff, public officials, funding agencies, and the general public. The earlier public input is communicated, the easier it is to incorporate into the planning process. Throughout the Airport Master Plan project information will be available online to include a project schedule, announcements for upcoming meetings, draft documents, references, as well as a portal to ask questions and provide comments. The website can be accessed through the T-O Engineers Project Portal, McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan: https://www.to-engineersprojectinfo.com/jobs/1550/ details/mccall-municipal-airport-master-plan Or through the McCall Municipal Airport website: https://www.mccall.id.us/airportmasterplan Pu b l i c O u t r e a c h , I n v o l v e m e n t , a n d E d u c a t i o n The FAA Master Plan Process Re q u i r e m e n t s Re s e a r c h With the FAA, ITD, and City of McCall, Develop Scope of Work Inventory FAA Approval of Forecast Aviation Forecast Identify Critical Aircraft Im p l e m e n t a t i o n Final Report Capital Improvement Plan Land Use Plan Facility Requirements Airport Development Alternatives Draft Drawings & Report Su m m e r 2 0 2 0 S u m m e r 2 0 2 1 Page 228 Appendix A - Public Involvement McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan Kick-Off Meeting Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is an Airport Master Plan? A: An Airport Master Plan is a comprehensive study of an airport that describes short-, medium-, and long-term development needs to meet future aviation demand. Q: Why is an Airport Master Plan needed? A: An Airport Master Plan provides the developmental framework for individual airports to ensure appropriate planning for future needs. An Airport Master Plan is typically updated every 5-10 years due to FAA changes in airport design, swings in the economy, and transformational changes in aviation and how people travel. The last Airport Master Plan completed for McCall Municipal Airport was in 2007. Q: What are the major elements of an Airport Master Plan? A: Airport Master Plans are developed based on guidance from the FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans. • Inventory of Existing Conditions • Aviation Forecast • Facility Requirements • Environmental Considerations • Alternatives Development • Airport Layout Plan (ALP) • Facilities Implementation Q: What are the Airport Master Plan Objectives: A: The objectives of an Airport Master Plan are: • To understand airport issues, opportunities and constraints. • Consider the impacts of aviation trends. • Identify the capacity of existing airport infrastructure. • Determine the need for airport improvements. • Estimate project costs and funding sources. • Develop a schedule for project implementation. • Obtain stakeholder and public input. Page 229 Appendix A - Public Involvement McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan Kick-Off Meeting Q: Who is funding the Master Plan project? A: The FAA is providing 100% of funding for this Airport Master Plan project. The federal share for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funded projects of this kind is typically up to 90% of project costs. Due to the CARES Act, signed March 27, 2020, federal funding was increased to 100% as part of the economic relief for eligible U.S. airports, for grants already planned for fiscal year 2020. Q: How much will this Airport Master Plan Cost? A: The total project cost is $366,333. Q: Who Approves a Master Plan? A: The Airport Sponsor, in this case the City of McCall, approves the Airport Master Plan. FAA approval is required for the Airport Master Plan Forecast, as well as the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The FAA also provides a review of the Master Plan documents, and accepts the final document. Q: What results from an Airport Master Plan? A: The Sponsor Approved Airport Master Plan becomes the guiding document for follow-on projects and airport development.

IN THE FUTURE PLT IS:• Working to conserve 40 acres on the Payette River in an effort to limit de-velopment along the riverbank and in the riparian area while allowing for limited public access.• Working to become an accredited land trust through the Land Trust Alliance’s national program• Engaging in a fundraising drive to build capacity and staff in an effort to keep pace with the demand for conservation in the region. PLT has regrettably turned down or post-poned viable projects due to lack of capacity and acquisition funds. For all these reasons and many more, become a financial supporter of the Payette Land Trust today! Midas (Continued from Page 1) “Substantive” comments are those that offer in-depth critiques of certain elements of the project or that iden-tify areas in which existing analysis is insufficient. Some substantive com-ments could trigger further analysis of the project that could ultimately influence how the mine is permitted, Harris said. A team of Forest Service experts from across the nation will be helping the Payette sift through the comments to speed up the process, he said. Midas Gold is “proud to be one step closer” to permitting the proposed gold and antimony mine, the company said in a news release. “The feedback from these comments will be incred-ibly valuable as we work with regulators to finalize the plan for the Stibnite Gold Project,” Midas Gold Corp. President Stephen Quin said. The public comment pe-riod opened on Aug. 14 and was originally expected to last until Oct. 13 until the Payette granted a 15-day extension to Oct. 28.Over 7,300 comments, or 76%, were received during the extension period, ac-cording to timestamps on the comments. Responses will be issued to all 10,000 comments in the final environmental study, which is currently slated for release in August.A minimum 45-day objec-tion period will follow the release of the final envi-ronmental study and draft record of decision, which will be released at the same time as the final study. Only those who submit-ted substantive comments during the project scoping period in 2017 or on the draft environmental study may issue an objection. A final decision on the project could come as soon as December 2021. BY DREW DODSONThe Star-News Removing a $1 million parks department reloca-tion included in last May’s failed bond issue to expand the McCall Public Library could be key to earning voter approval, the McCall City Council said last week. Council members and the library board of trustees agreed during a joint meet-ing last Friday that costs to voters should be reduced by using city money to pay for the new parks relocation. “We need to change the cost and that may be just what we need to send us over the edge this time,” trustee chair Jacki Rubin said.The $6.2 million bond election fell 29 votes shy of approval, with 707 votes in favor and 397 opposed, or 64% overall in favor. A 66.7% majority was needed for approval.Other ways to fund the parks department reloca-tion without bond money will be presented to the coun-cil at its Dec. 3 meeting.Work on the expansion cannot begin until the parks department is relocated from its current base next to the library.The former city fire station on Park Street in downtown McCall would be demolished to expand the library. The May election pro-posed building a new parks department headquarters on city land on Forest Street near the Central Idaho His-torical Museum.Availability of city funds for the new parks building could determine whether the library bond will be put to McCall voters in May 2021 or in May 2022. The timing split council members and trustees during Friday’s meeting.“I think if we wait, we’re gonna lose things, not gain things,” Rubin said.Council member Colby Nielsen was unopposed to putting the bond to voters again in 2021, but pondered whether waiting until May 2022 would give it a better chance of passing.“I think one of the virtues of waiting until May of 2022 would be adding some flex-ibility to potentially figure out how to fund that parks facility,” Nielsen said. Nielsen also said waiting until 2022 could allow the CO-VID-19 pandemic to subside, which could make signing over taxpayer money easier for voters. “There a lot of things hap-pening right now and I think that I’m probably not alone in feeling fairly overwhelmed with life in general,” he said. Council members and trustees were also undecided on how the cost of the origi-nal $6.2 million bond could be reduced in addition to removing the parks depart-ment relocation.The group had mixed opinions on whether to include money in the bond proposal for 32 extra parking spaces behind the library and a pedestrian plaza be-tween the library and City Hall. Both were included in the original library bond at a cost of about $344,00, which created public mistrust in the last library bond pro-posal, according to the focus groups.“You make a bond more convoluted by tacking more and more things on there,” trustee Patrick Coyle said. “People will be suspicious and not really want to be on board with it.”Trustee Lola Elliot urged making the bond “skinny” by eliminating both projects, while Coyle favored keeping the extra parking as a selling point for the bond’s overall community benefit. Focus groups rap timing, cost of May library bond vote BY DREW DODSONThe Star-News The timing, cost and lack of public transparency were primary reasons last May’s $6.2 million bond election to expand the McCall Public Library came up short, ac-cording to public comments gathered by the city.Themes from 29 focus group participants helped explain why the bond fell 29 votes shy of approval, with 707 votes in favor and 397 opposed, or 64% overall in favor. A 66.7% majority was needed for approval.Despite widespread sup-port for an expanded library, the specifics of the May pro- posal gave pause to many voters, Communications Manager Erin Greaves said. “The $6.2 million number was definitely a little too large for the majority of the people that I spoke with,” Greaves told the McCall City Council and library board of trustees during a joint meeting last week. Current plans were la-beled as too “grandiose” for McCall by some voters, who suggested $2 million to $3 million as a more realistic request of city taxpayers, a report on the focus groups said. “Some people thought ‘we want more space, we want improvements, we realize the building is falling apart, but we just don’t think it should cost that much,’” Greaves said. However, focus group participants split on wheth-er the size of the expansion should be reduced to bring costs down, the report said. Some suggested a smaller expansion project could still allow the library to grow through partnerships with other libraries, digital offer-ings and technology rentals. The $6.2 million request-ed from city taxpayers also looked more daunting to voters as the COVID-19 pan-demic ushered in financial uncertainty, the report said. The pandemic prompted some focus group partici-pants to question the logic of investing in buildings when technology and working remotely are growing.Focus group participants said May 2021 would be too soon for another election, Greaves said. “People thought it would be almost rude to bring it back so quickly,” she said. Voters also felt caught off-guard and confused by non-library city projects included in the original proposal. “It was a little bit mud-dy,” Greaves said. “Some people felt that it wasn’t a straightforward concept and they voted ‘no’ because of it.” Many voters were not aware of or did not un-derstand how a $1 million parks department reloca-tion to city land on Forest Street tied into the library expansion. Parks could be dropped from next library bond vote Page 243 Appendix A - Public Involvement McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan PAGE 5 - THE STAR-NEWS - THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2020 MCCALL MUNICIPAL AIRPORT Airport Master Plan Virtual Public Meeting Tuesday, November 17th, 6:00pm To Access the Teams Live Meeting: Call: 208-995-2415 and Enter Conference ID: 824 950 710# The master plan will define the type and extent of development required to accommodate short-term and long-term aviation demand for the McCall Municipal Airport.

If we want to win this, we must recruit more to the fight. Mike WeissMcCall Governor urged to make masks mandatory in IdahoTo the Editor:To Gov. Little:Gov. Liitle, as a retired RN and a senior citizen I implore you to make masks mandatory for Idaho. It is glaringly obvious by this point in the pandemic that simply asking Idahoans to wear a mask is not work-ing. It seems to me that by merely asking for people to wear a mask you are act-ing callously toward all the health care workers, first responders and essential workers. Isn’t their right to be as safe as possible while per-forming their critical roles in society more important than the inconvenience of some who wish not to be told what they have to do?Alice AndersonMcCall COVID (Continued from Page 1One death from CO-VID-19 has been reported in Valley County since the pandemic reached Idaho in March. An 85-year-old McCall man died July 15 at St. Luke’s Boise hospital due to complications of CO-VID-19 infection. Adams County Adams County had 70 total confirmed cases among county residents as of Wednesday, nine more than the 61 cases reported last week, according to Southwest District Health.Four new cases were con-firmed in the New Meadows area between Oct. 18 and Oct. 31, the health district said. Two deaths in Adams County related to COVID-19 have been reported. The first death was a man in his 70s who had been hospitalized with underlying health complications.The second death was a woman in her 70s with preexisting conditions who was hospitalized. McCall care center reports COVID-19 infection by staffer BY TOM GROTEThe Star-NewsA staff member at McCall Rehabilitation and Care Center has tested positive for COVID-19, Facility Ad-ministrator Kurt Holm said Tuesday.All of the 26 residents of the long-term care facility as well as about 40 staff mem-bers passed two weeks of testing without reporting an additional case, Holm said. It was the first case of COVID-19 reported at the 44-bed facility located at 418 Floyde St. in McCall. The female staffer re-ported on Oct. 30 that she had COVID-19 symptoms and likely caught the virus from a family member, Holm said. All staffers and residents were tested twice per week for two weeks ending last Friday without new positive cases, he said.“Our staff has been dili-gent, which we are very grateful for,” Holm said. Staff members only will continue to be tested twice per week due to the surge in COVID-19 infections reported in Valley County, he said.McCall Rehab is an inde-pendently operated facility owned by The Ensign Group of San Juan Capistrano, California, which operates more than 200 health-care facilities across the United States. McCall approves permanent public health powers BY DREW DODSONThe Star-NewsA law granting the City of McCall permanent author-ity to pass orders related to public health and safety during emergencies was adopted by the McCall City Council last week.The law allows City Man-ager Anette Spickard to pass laws related to public health and safety during emergen-cies prior to city council approval, as would typically be required. However, any laws passed by Spickard would need to be approved by the council within five days, which coun-cil members shortened from seven days in the original proposed law. The council also added a 45-day term to emergency laws, which means laws would expire after 45 days unless council members vote to extend them another 45 days. “We owe it to the commu-nity to have the shortest term we can,” council member Melanie Holmes said. “I feel that we should be discuss-ing and talking about any emergency order as often as possible.”Council member Colby Nielsen echoed Holmes, pointing to the stricter rules as a way to combat “govern-ment mistrust” with more oversight. Emergency laws would have been valid until re-scinded by council members under the originally pro-posed law, which did not specify a duration. Emergencies could in-clude public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic or natural disasters like wildfires and earthquakes. Any emergency laws adopted by the city would apply to all areas within city limits as well as everywhere within five miles of city limits, which includes parts of Lake Fork and Adams County. Council members di-rected city staff to prepare the permanent emergency powers ordinance after a city mask order expired on Sept. 17 due to the expiration of a temporary emergency pow-ers ordinance passed by the council in March. Temporary emergency powers ordinances cannot be in effect for more than 182 days and cannot be renewed under Idaho law. Currently, a countywide mask order from Central District Health remains in place in McCall. Swap (Continued from Page 1the land board than if we try to do things individu-ally,” commissioner Sherry Maupin said. “This is important to our region, it’s important to our water quality, it’s important to our quality of life overall,” Maupin said. “And they have the ability to impact that.”A preliminary plan will be aired to the land board on Tuesday in Boise and could be adopted as soon as Janu-ary if the extension request is declinedThe letter also will ask the land board to extend a moratorium on leases, sales and exchanges of McCall lands as part of delaying adoption of the plan. The moratorium has been in place since June when the land board was approached with a land ex-change proposal by Trident Holdings, a Boise-based company. Trident’s original pro-posal would have given it about 28,000 acres of state lands around Payette Lake and McCall in exchange for more productive tim-berlands in northern Idaho. The lands department’s long-term plan focuses on about 5,000 acres of lands around Payette Lake in the McCall Impact Area, Payette Lakes Supervisory Area Manager Scott Corkill said. “That’s the meat and potatoes, all those high value properties closest to Payette Lake,” Corkill told commissioner and council members. The other 23,000 acres included in Trident’s origi-nal proposal are southeast of McCall and are covered by an existing forest man-agement plan that guides harvesting, leasing and long-term strategy.“We don’t anticipate hav-ing any recommendations going forward to change that,” Corkill said. “That was already approved by the land board in 2018.”Corkill admitted Tri-dent’s proposal may have expedited the long-term plan, but emphasized it is a “standalone plan” that the lands department has been working on for years. Also at Tuesday night’s joint meeting was the Payette Endowment Lands Alliance, which formed in July in response to Trident’s proposal. The group noted the importance of “overlapping public trust obligations” the state has to protect lakes and rivers while also maximiz-ing profits from the use of state lands, as mandated by the Idaho Constitution. “We feel restricting new development on endowment lands around the lake is essential to protecting and fulfilling these public trust obligations,” said Lake Fork resident Judy Anderson, a founding member of the group. Fellow founding member Jeff Mousseau of McCall pointed toward different land conservation solutions used elsewhere that could work locally, including one in Blaine County. In 2008, Blaine County voters approved a two-year conservation tax levy to cre-ate a fund to grow through investments and spend on conservation work. “Today the program has successfully put in place five major conservation easements, one large land acquisition and three land and water restoration proj-ects,” Mousseau said. Mousseau also men-tioned a 1% real estate tax passed by San Juan County voters in Washington in 1990, which over the last three decades has helped preserve the San Juan Islands. Council members and commissioners also brain-stormed ways the city and county could take more control of the future of state lands around McCall. Council member Mel-anie Holmes suggested creating a “recreation” zon-ing category to be applied to state lands in case they are sold to developers. “Could it be somewhat of a last resort between the county and city to consider some sort of zoning change that would prevent usage on those lands?” Holmes asked.That option would need to be reviewed by attorneys, city officials said. A conservation levy similar to the one in Blaine County was also suggested as a possibility. “The big issue I have with all of that is I have a road department that needs money a lot sooner than I think this issue needs money, and I don’t know how to wrestle with that,” commissioner Elt Hasb-rouck said. Trident (Continued from Page 1However, the plans are strictly concepts, Williams said. Williams fears that no ac-tion on state lands in McCall would eventually result in the state auctioning off less profitable tracts of land to private developers with no conservation goals. A mandate in the Idaho Constitution requires state lands to earn as much money as possible for public schools and mental health hospitals. BY MAX SILVERSON The Star-News A wildfire started by an abandoned campfire grew to about 800 acres last week in Buck’s Basin east of Council Mountain before being quashed by snowfall, the Payette National Forest reported.The Crystal Creek Fire was reported on Nov. 2 and was considered controlled after snow fell on the site over the weekend. “Since the beginning of hunting season, 17 aban-doned warming fires have been found on the landscape, and 25 abandoned campfires have been discovered in campground facilities,” Payette Forest Public Af-fairs Officer Brian Harris said. “This number of human-caused wildfires is not normal for this time of year,” he said. People with informa-tion on who may have left the fire, or to report any abandoned campfire, should contact the Payette head-quarters office in McCall at 208-634-0700. Fire officials deployed two helicopters to dump water on hot spots within the Crystal Creek Fire, but did not deploy firefighters on the ground because of the remote location and likelihood of snow in the forecast, Harris said. The fire primarily burned open grassy areas while torching some sub-alpine fir trees, he said. “We always evaluate the risk to firefighters versus the potential gain of deploy-ing a full response,” Harris said. “The fire had no foresee-able threat to structures, private lands or other values at risk such as powerlines, roadways, etc.,” he said. The fire was located in an area surrounded by rocky terrain that helped keep it contained, Harris said. Tamarack Resort fire contained; no cause released BY MAX SILVERSONThe Star-News The West State Fire at Tamarack Resort was de-clared 100% contained on Friday and extinguished completely by snowfall that started on Saturday. The fire burned 61 acres within 500 feet of the resort’s unfinished mid-mountain lodge and about 100 feet from the Mile High Cantina. The cause of the fire was still under investigation, said Jennifer Russell, a public information officer for the Idaho Department of Lands. Total firefighting costs on the West State Fire were not available. Recent snowfall effec-tively ended the fire season in the area, but dangers from the fire remain. Tamarack Resort Presi-dent Scott Turlington urged people to stay out of the fire area because burned trees would continue to fall and pose a serious safety threat. The fire started on Nov. 2 about 300 yards to the west of the mid-mountain lodge, which is located at the top of the Tamarack Express lift and at the base of the Summit Express lift.The fire burned uphill to the northwest and began burning in grass and brush.The blaze then moved into sub-alpine fir stands and took hold, causing black plumes of smoke and torched trees visible from across the valley floor at night.Tamarack employees turned on snowmaking guns to spray the lodge with water.The water feeding the snowmaking guns also was used to fill up water tankers deployed on the fire,.The Summit Lift was not damaged.

Can I submit these via the website? • Great Presentation. Thank you for putting this together and for having a Master Plan for our Airport. Are you planning to allow for new Hangar pads in the Master Plan? Is the City considering building T-Hangars that would possibly be for rent? If so, do they have any idea of what T-Hangars might rent for? Could you please send a link to .pdf drawings showing the current Master Plan. Also, Will there be a grass strip landing area planned in the Master Plan? Thank You. • There is a common perception there is an increaseing demand for hangars at KMYL. However, Figure 4.30 shows a decrease aircraft based at KMYL of almost 13% from 2020 to 2040. This includes a decrease in single engine aircraft based of almost 20% and total aircraft of approximately 13%. These trends would indicate there is need for additional hangars at KMYL. Is this a valid interpretation of the data presented in Figure 4.30. If not, please explain. • If there is pent up demand for hangars that has been omitted from this study, don't you think you are underestimating the number of future based aircraft? • My Question regarding figure 4.30 has typo. The question should state: These trends would indicate there is NO need for additional hangars at KMYL. Is this a valid interpretation of the figure 4.30?

The elements of an Airport Master Plan are outlined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); however, the complexity and level of detail for each element depends upon the size, function, issues, and challenges of the airport. The McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan will present a strategy for development while considering the potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts throughout the planning period. The McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan will meet the following objectives: • Understand airport issues, opportunities, and constraints. • Consider the impacts of aviation trends. • Identify the capacity of existing airport infrastructure. • Determine need for airport improvements. • Estimate project costs and funding sources. • Develop a schedule for project implementation. • Obtain stakeholder and public input. Airport Master Plan Process The project begins with a pre-planning phase to determine the scope of work (completed), then will systematically follow the steps shown in the figure. The McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan will incorporate a significant amount of public involvement to ensure the best final product possible. Effective public involvement includes numerous parties, including but not limited to: aircraft owners, airport staff, public officials, funding agencies, and the general public. The earlier public input is communicated, the easier it is to incorporate into the planning process. Throughout the Airport Master Plan project information will be available online to include a project schedule, announcements for upcoming meetings, draft documents, references, as well as a portal to ask questions and provide comments. The website can be accessed through the T-O Engineers Project Portal, McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan: https://www.to-engineersprojectinfo.com/jobs/1550/ details/mccall-municipal-airport-master-plan Or through the McCall Municipal Airport website: https://www.mccall.id.us/airportmasterplan Pu b l i c O u t r e a c h , I n v o l v e m e n t , a n d E d u c a t i o n McCall Airport Master Plan Schedule Re q u i r e m e n t s Re s e a r c h With the FAA, ITD, and City of McCall, Develop Scope of Work Inventory FAA Approval of Forecast Aviation Forecast Identify Critical Aircraft Im p l e m e n t a t i o n Final Report Capital Improvement Plan Land Use Plan Facility Requirements Airport Development Alternatives Draft Drawings & Report S u m m e r 2 0 2 0 Su m m e r 2 0 2 1 F a l l 2 0 2 1 Page 262 Appendix A - Public Involvement McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is an Airport Master Plan? A: An Airport Master Plan is a comprehensive study of an airport that describes short-, medium-, and long-term development needs to meet future aviation demand. Q: Why is an Airport Master Plan needed? A: An Airport Master Plan provides the developmental framework for individual airports to ensure appropriate planning for future needs. An Airport Master Plan is typically updated every 5-10 years due to FAA changes in airport design, swings in the economy, and transformational changes in aviation and how people travel. The last Airport Master Plan completed for McCall Municipal Airport was in 2007. Q: What are the major elements of an Airport Master Plan? A: Airport Master Plans are developed based on guidance from the FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans. • Inventory of Existing Conditions • Aviation Forecast • Facility Requirements • Environmental Considerations • Alternatives Development • Airport Layout Plan (ALP) • Facilities Implementation Q: What are the Airport Master Plan Objectives: A: The objectives of an Airport Master Plan are: • To understand airport issues, opportunities and constraints. • Consider the impacts of aviation trends. • Identify the capacity of existing airport infrastructure. • Determine the need for airport improvements. • Estimate project costs and funding sources. • Develop a schedule for project implementation. • Obtain stakeholder and public input. Page 263 Appendix A - Public Involvement McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan Q: Who Approves a Master Plan? A: The Airport Sponsor, in this case the City of McCall, approves the Airport Master Plan. FAA approval is required for the Airport Master Plan Forecast, as well as the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The FAA also provides a review of the Master Plan documents, and accepts the final document. Q: What results from an Airport Master Plan? A: The Sponsor Approved Airport Master Plan becomes the guiding document for follow-on projects and airport development.

Consequently, traditional public involvement (in-person) required re-imagining using a blend of virtual, in-person, and hybrid meeting formats and intake of public comments. As of March of 2022, the following elements have been completed, and are summarized within this supplement: • Existing Conditions: Inventory of airport facilities, setting, environmental and socioeconomic overview. • Aviation Forecast: Baseline and projections of operations, fleet mix, and based aircraft, along with critical aircraft determination. • Facility Requirements: Gap analysis of the existing facilities and what is needed to meet aviation demand. • Alternatives Development: How to achieve the Facility Requirements and local goals. • Implementation: Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), with project phasing, cost estimates, and financial analysis. • Draft Airport Layout Plan (ALP): Series of technical drawings needed to secure funding for the CIP. • Recycling and Waste Reduction Plan: Review of airport recycling options and recommendations. • Public Involvement: Three public meetings and three Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings. Page 274 Appendix A - Public Involvement McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan Airport Master Plan Timeline Public Involvement The public input for this Airport Master Plan has been achieved through a series of dedicated public meetings, online comment forms, a TAC, and monthly Airport Advisory Committee meetings. • Kickoff Meeting (virtual): Pre-recorded and available on the City of McCall website.

Proposed Development Summary Major development proposals are summarized below: • Phased hangar and taxilane development of the infield. Includes provisions for tie-downs and snow storage. • Installation of a new taxiway connecting Taxiway A to Taxiway E at the south edge of the transient apron. • Reconstruction and reconfiguration of the transient apron pavement and tie-down spaces. • Phased scheduled pavement maintenance of the runway, taxiways, and taxilanes. • Install a new fire fighting pad to accomodate large helicopters and support equipment. • Relocate the ASOS to the south end of the airport. • Create a new General Aviation Terminal area, with an extension of Krahn Lane. • Airfield geometry improvements to the Runway 16 blast pad and Taxiways B-1, A-1, and B-2. • Extend the runway to the south by 402 feet (new total length of 6,510 feet) • Install wildlife fencing to control wildlife intrusions.

Fire (Continued from Page 1)“The plan for the rebuild at this time relies solely on the insurance company,” Ben Watkins said. Work was underway to set up a temporary phar-macy and coffee bar, he said. Cleanup of the site had not started as of Tuesday. Patient files and pre-scription records were saved, Watkins said. “We are actively trans-ferring prescriptions for our customers as we did not lose our pharmacy files due to being stored at an off-site secure location,” he said. Patients who need to transfer a prescription can call the pharmacy number at 208-382-4202 or call their prescribing doctor’s office, he said. Watkins (Continued from Page 1)The pharmacy employed seven people in addition to the Watkinses. The Cascade Commu-nity Church is coordinating rides to nearby pharmacies for people who need help with transportation. “Our church is hoping to act as a hub to get infor-mation to those in need,” church administrative as-sistant Alison Haupt said. “We have a growing list of those willing to help oth-ers in our community and are ready to help how we can,” Haupt said. Volunteers willing to pick-up prescriptions or drive people to the phar-macy can contact the church by phone at 208-382-4216 or by email at cccoffice109@gmail.com.Mountain Community Transit, which operates bus routes between McCall and Cascade, has also offered to assist Watkins customers in need of transportation to a pharmacy in McCall. “We are on a tight sched-ule, but not so tight that we can’t do some things for some folks,” operations supervisor Stephen Hackler said. The bus service runs Monday through Friday. Visit www.treasureval-leytransit.com and select “Mountain Community Transit” under the “service areas” menu or call 208-634-0003. The Cascade Fire Com-munity Fund has already received about $4,700 in donations for Watkins Phar-macy, fund president Mindi Anderson said. Funds will go towards pharmacy employees who have been affected as well as the costs of setting up a temporary pharmacy, Anderson said. Donations can be made at www.cascaderuralfire.com by selecting “Cascade Fire Nonprofit” under the “more” menu. The nonprofit was es-tablished last year to assist victims of fires in the Cas-cade area. Library (Continued from Page 1)Cascade library patrons with checked out books should keep the books until the library re-opens or may return them to the Donnelly library, Scheline said. Damages UnknownThere is no estimated cost for damages to the li-brary building or the about 13,700 items in the library’s inventory, including books and equipment, Scheline said. Water sprayed by fire-fighters battling the fire at Watkins Pharmacy flooded into the building.Several inches of water covering the floor raised humidity in the library to as high as 85%, but crews had brought humidity down to about 25% as of Tuesday, Shepard said. “The first day when I walked in, the water was dripping from bookcases,” Scheline said. “Every single one of those books in some form or fashion has sus-tained damage.”The books are currently drying and undergoing a microbial ozone treatment, after which it will be de-termined how many books are too damaged to keep, she said. Ozone gas is also being used to treat the library building for smoke dam-age, including the lingering smell left from smoke that infiltrated the library.All computers and elec-tronics in the library were tested and currently work, but it will be six months before it is known if the moisture damaged them, Scheline said. “They may work now, but they may not work in a month,” she said. Carpets in the 2,226 square foot building will need to be replaced due to water damage, Scheline said. Once the carpet is re-moved, crews can begin to determine the extent of dam-age to the library building itself, she said. All of the books need to be removed from the library building before additional restoration work can begin, but library officials have not yet determined where the books will be stored. All four of the Cascade library’s part-time employ-ees will be able to continue working for the Donnelly library, Scheline said. The library does not currently have space for book donations, but is ac-cepting money donations directly to the library or to the Friends of the Cascade Public Library at P.O. Box 10, Cascade, ID 83611. Olympics (Continued from Page 1)Three races remain on the cross-country program for the 2022 winter games. The Classic Team Sprint took place on Wednes-day, but results were not available. The men’s 50k mass-start freestyle will be held Saturday, and the women’s 30k mass-start freestyle will be held on Sunday.The U.S. team had not announced on Tuesday whether Patterson, 30, or his sister, Caitlin, 32, would be racing in the final events. Caitlin Patterson had yet to start an event as of Tuesday.The Pattersons are at-tending their second Winter Olympic games. They previously skied for the United States at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea.The siblings were born in McCall and competed with the McCall Nordic Ski Team until 2005, when the family moved to Anchorage, Alaska. RedRidge (Continued from Page 1)The application was first presented at a P&Z meeting on Jan. 13 at the Valley County Courthouse in Cascade. Thursday’s delibera-tions were a continuation of that meeting.The subdivision about six miles south of McCall is being proposed by McCall Associates LLC, the same firm behind the Blackhawk Lake, Blackhawk Ranch and Blackhawk on the River developments. McCall Associates LLC, represented by Brian Dick-ens, told commissioners on Thursday that each lot in the development would use one septic system and not attempt to connect with a nearby water and sewer system. At the Jan. 13 meeting, Dickens had proposed that some lots could tie into the nearby West Mountain Sewer and Water system, a private system which serves the Blackhawk on the River and Payette Estates subdivi-sions. Dickens also clarified several aspects of the ap-plication requested by the commission including wild-life protection measures, road agreements, design specifics and soil condi-tions. McCall Associates LLC intends to sell the entire de-velopment at auction, which is tentatively scheduled for June, Dickens said. The application received 17 letters in opposition and none in favor. Those opposed objected to the proposed connection to West Mountain Sewer and Water and also worried about the environmental effects that 135 individual wells and septic systems would have on the aquifer and watershed. At the hearing, one per-son testified in favor and two in opposition. Dickens had said that the subdivision would include rules mandating that septic tanks be properly main-tained and emptied every three to five years. Blackhawk on the River resident Chris Oberti asked how that rule would be enforced. “Who the heck is gonna go out there and tell every-body ‘hey, every five years you’re gonna have to pump your septic’? Oberti said. “Do we have a septic tank police force out there?” Initial plans for the prop-erty from 2004 included over 1,000 homes and included a golf course, hotel and eques-trian center. The RedRidge devel-opment as proposed was previously approved in 2008 as RedRidge at Blackhawk, but the development was stalled by the economic recession that started the same year. In 2013, the RedRidge area was included in a proposal encompassing all Blackhawk developments, but county approvals ex-pired before it could be developed. Blackhawk develop-ments began in 1992 with Blackhawk Lake Estates. Phases two through five as well as a common area and multi-family development have since been added. Access to RedRidge Pre-serve would be by two private roads off of West Mountain Road. The project would be built in 10 phases on about 1,600 acres, with lots ranging from three to 17 acres. Construction of phase one with 30 lots could be completed this year or in 2023 with phases two through five with 75 ad-ditional home sites to be completed by 2026, the ap-plication said.Dickens said that work was done after the 2008 ap-proval on some roads and lot development within the project and phase one was about 60% complete. 12th death in county confirmed from virus BY TOM GROTEThe Star-NewsNew cases of COVID-19 reported in Valley County last week continued to fall, according to the county’s two hospitals.A total of 22 new cases were reported by the coun-ty’s two hospitals, down from the 62 new cases the previous week and down from 119 cases the prior week.Cascade Medical Center reported no new cases dur-ing the past week, CEO Tom Reinhardt said.The two hospitals have reported 2,627 cases of CO-VID-19 since the pandemic started nearly two years ago.A 12th death confirmed from COVID-19 was re-ported this week by Central District Health.Troy James Presler, 74, of Donnelly, died Jan. 23 of COVID-19 complications, according to obituary in-formation provided to The Star-News.Three other deaths in Valley County have been ruled as “probable” from the virus.Adams County has had 14 deaths related to COVID-19 since the pandemic started, according to Southwest Dis-trict Health.Total cases in Adams County since the pandemic started was set at 533 this week, or 13 cases more than reported last week.Clinics & Tests St. Luke’s Clinic – Payette Lakes Family Medicine is now offering the Mod-erna COVID-19 vaccine and boosters to anyone age 18 and older.

No-tably the historical “facts” listed in the letter stopped at almost 60 years ago, thus missing the changes in our political parties since then.Mentioned but not ex-plored was one of the most significant pieces of legis-lation, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which among other things, prohibited discrim-ination on the basis of race, gender, religion or national origin as well as prohibiting the use of different voter registration standards for blacks and whites, and also creating the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This act was signed into law by Democratic Presi-dent Lyndon B. Johnson, alienating many Southern Democrats, including Dem-ocratic Sen. Thurmond of South Carolina, mentioned in the previous letter, who subsequently switched to the Republican Party.As many readers may recall, after the passage of this act, the GOP adopted what would come to be known as “The Southern Strategy” in an effort to woo disgruntled Southern voters who could never for-give the Democratic Party for its support of the Civil Rights Act. This strategy began with the Republican presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater in 1964 and was further refined in 1968 by Richard Nixon and his advisors. Realizing they could not appeal to voters directly on issues of white supremacy or racism, they used coded language such as “states’ rights” and “law and order” which were widely under-stood to mean Southern resistance to civil rights. Other emotionally fraught terms used by Re-publican candidates and elected officials included “welfare state,” “forced busing,” and “affirmative action,” which successfully appealed to large numbers of Southern voters who subsequently switched to the Republican Party. Today the result of this transition is evident by the number of GOP controlled states, particularly in the South, where Republican lawmakers have proposed and in some cases passed, voter suppression legis-lation which would limit voting by mail, early in-per-son voting, reduce poll hours, narrow the eligibility to vote absentee, increase voter ID requirements, re-duce the number/restrict the location of ballot drop boxes, and even prohibit the handing out of bottled water to those voters forced to wait in increasingly long lines. Opponents point out that these new voter suppression tactics by GOP led state leg-islatures as blatant attempts to curtail the influence of Black and minority voters who were instrumental in helping Democrats in the 2020 election. So to the statement , “if you oppose racism, I rec-ommend that you switch parties to the one that has always stood against racism and slavery. Welcome to the GOP!” I reply that I would have joined it in Lincoln’s time but now, as I see what is happening with the GOP today and do my research, I say no thanks!Kim TidwellMcCall Register Republican to keep crazies from further influence As unaffiliated registered voters, my wife and I just registered Republican to vote in this year’s primary to add our vote in keeping the “crazies” from any further influence In Idaho leader-ship positions. We hope more inde-pendent-minded folks and Democrats will do the same. But you must do it soon as our esteemed legislature is attempting to add emergen-cy legislation in restricting the party registration pro-cess to no later than March 11, 2022, for a primary sched-uled in May. Gonna keep those non-pu-rified believers in check, you know. We look forward to registering non-affiliated once again post primary.James F. MillerBoise and Donnelly Trident won’t be the last hoping to develop endowment landsOn Wednesday, Feb. 9, Brody Aston introduced a new piece of legislation that would significantly change the way the Idaho Depart- ment of Lands organizes, hires, and conducts business. Mr. Aston is a lobbyist with Westerberg and Associates working on behalf of Trident Holdings LLC. Most significantly, House Bill 587 proposes to create a new position responsible for land exchange oversight, select and manage outside experts (including private attorneys), and implement new and undefined hiring standards. The Idaho Conservation League and Idaho Wildlife Federation, both founding members of United Pay-ette, are tracking the bill’s progress, currently in the Resources and Conservation Committee. It is now abundantly clear that Trident has not given up on its plan to acquire significant lands around Payette Lake, with apparent intentions of developing those lands into resorts, con-ference centers, and many luxury homes. Last August IDL rejected Trident’s land exchange ap-plication, and many Valley County residents, visitors, and lovers of Payette Lake had hoped this particular danger had passed. United Payette, a broad coalition of concerned citizens and organizations, continued working toward a sustain-able solution that supports the permanent conservation of the McCall area endow-ment lands. United Payette recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Valley County officials which en- ables a task force, made up of UP members, a county representative and others who represent diverse recreational endeavors, to negotiate with the Idaho Department of Lands to come up with short-term conservation-based solu-tions for parcels within the McCall endowment lands. In addition, a local citi-zens advisory group will be established to help manage any leases UP negotiates for the county. The long-range preservation of endowment lands in the McCall area in-volving a U. S. Forest Service land exchange is an option being explored, and will take time. UP is also preparing for the likely auction of Cougar Island this spring or sum-mer. Currently, a Cougar Island task force is explor-ing conservation-based solutions for the island. Parcel G, located on the east side of Payette Lake and one of the last public access beaches, may also appear on the IDL auction timeline. Although Trident rep-resents the most recent entity hoping to acquire and develop coveted endowment lands, it won’t be the last. Other development inter-ests may come along with more extensive resources and capabilities that could threaten the landscape and water resources that many have used for recreation, hunting, fishing, and solace for generations. This is why United Payette members and sup-porters dedicate their time and financial resources to keeping the Payette endow-ment lands accessible to the public. If you would like to join our effort by contribut-ing either funds, your time, or both, go to our website www.unitedpayette.org or email us at unitedpayette@gmail.com. We are actively recruiting Parcel G task force mem-bers and always appreciate hearing local perspectives that can be incorporated into sustainable long-term solutions.Julie Manning, United PayetteDebbie Fereday, Payette Endowment Lands AllianceRandy Fox, Idaho Conservation LeagueDaniel Ritz,Idaho Wildlife Federation Page 293 Appendix A - Public Involvement McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan COMMENTS SUBMITTED VIA THE ONLINE COMMENT FORM • The current airport has confusing taxiway names. We currently have Taxiway A and Taxilane A, yet they are 2 different lanes. Same situation with Taxiway and Taxilane B. The master plan will add many new taxiways. I propose we rename Taxilane E to Taxilane Zulu (Z), and rename Taxilanes A,B,C to Taxilanes Yankee (Y), Xray(X), and Whiskey (W). That will allow ample naming of other existing taxiways and future taxiways by either counting up from the existing Taxiways A and B, which are the primary parallel taxiways, or counting down from the Z,Y,X,W nomenclature as the future needs arise. • Taxilane A currently does not provide sufficient clearance for Hangar users and Aircraft Design Group II aircraft. The current master plan will make this taxilane a major route. Taxilane A should be moved further North in the master plan to allow both ADG II aircraft useage as well as ramp spaces for the adjacent hangars along Taxilane A. • The master plan should identify locations for snow stowage. An increase in future hangars and taxiways will make snow stowage spaces even more critical than they are currently. Taxiway wingtip clearances can be hazardous when snow stowage builds up. Costs to transport snow offsite will be large, and should be quantified if that option is baselined. • I appreciate all of the technical requirements to keep this a safe and efficient facility for aviation into the future. I fully trust that there are really smart people involved that will make this happen. I'd like to see how your master plan dovetails in with the vision that is had for the McCall and the surrounding area into the future. The growth that is going on this year will clearly continue and the volumes of visitors will continue to increase. Besides serving those that live and vacation here, how are we envisioning expanding our role and services to enhance our 'gateway to the backcountry' mantra? Right now, the airport feels very utilitarian to me. Which, by the way, is probably appropriate. If McCall and the surrounding area wants to continue to grow as a destination for people to enjoy and spend money in our wonderful environment, then having an inviting, efficient, and effective transportation hub is critical - this is what I can envision for the airport facility. Enough for now. I do look forward to seeing how our community and airport leadership envision the future for McCall and the role that our airport will continue to play. It has always been a significant contributor and should continue to play an important role in our growth and prosperity. • Regester • The plan should also include: consideration of realignment of Deinhard Ln to facilitate it becoming SH55; placement and recruitment of complementary business uses; improvements to meet City Code scenic route, design, and development standards; and public amenities development such as public art and historic interpretation. • Please consider adding width to the existing runway in the future for both added safety margins as well as to enable more of the USFS large airtanker aircraft fleet to operate from McCall and fight the (growing) fire concern in our community as well as our regional area. • Due the change in aircraft types used by the USFS for fire retardant delivery the McCall Airtanker Base is under- utilized as a reload base for the Large Airtankers because the runway is only 75 feet in width. In the past this was adequate however most aircraft in service and currently under contract (BAe-146 and RJ-85 specifically) have a flight manual requirement to operate from runways of 100 feet in width or more. It currently takes an average of 10-20 minutes longer to dispatch aircraft from Boise, Coeur d'Alene or La Grande, OR for fires that, in the past operated from McCall Airport. • The benefit to Valley County and the McCall community would be the quicker fire response as well as the added local revenue from lodging, meals and services the aircraft and flight crews would require for support. Page 294 Appendix A - Public Involvement McCall Municipal Airport (MYL) Master Plan • There other factors that also could mean additional benefit that I'd be willing to share if there is an interest in this suggestion and I would be willing to meet with any/all of the McCall Airport Advisory committee to discuss it further. Please contact me if inclined to seek more info or clarification. Thank you for your time and opportunity to comment. • Removing the diagonal taxiway was the dumbest idea ever and we've already had numerous conflicts as a result. • It would be great to set aside some land for hangers owned by the city of McCall and leased to tenants. These could be in the form of T-hangers in large rows. You can really pack in a lot of airplanes into a small footprint using these hangers. And they would be a great source of revenue for the city going forward. It would also be nice to have the option to buy private hangers. There are not many available now and they would be in high demand if developed. • Please make sure to include additional hangers in the plans. • I would like to see airline service to Seattle and Boise. • Anything that makes the Trident land grab more of a reality is a firm no. Rich guy fancy pants private planes come to mind... • Hello. I am looking for a flight that leaves Boise international airport and arrives at McCall municipal airport. Is this possible? • I am in strong support of extending runway length and adding services to support the addition of commercial flights from major metro airports around the northwest. This would support ongoing economic growth and development of McCall, Donnelly, Brundage, and Tamarack. Thank you for soliciting public input. • I would like to comment on what I consider an important matter for the Airport Master Plan to address and that is, noise from mainly single engine piston powered propeller driven aircraft. I live approximately 2 air miles southeast of the airport and the low level, full power, maximum RPM takeoffs that fly over my neighborhood is unacceptable and frankly not necessary. As McCall grows so will the number of aircraft using the airport and subsequently the amount of noise produced from aircraft. I think now is the time for the Master Plan to delineate noise sensitive areas, such as residential areas, and come up with a voluntary noise abatement program. There are many examples of airports, particularly in resort communities such as McCall, that have implemented such programs. One of the best examples is the Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) which serves the Sun Valley region. They have preferred hours of operation from 0700-2300 and recommended landing and departure procedures to help with noise abatement. They ask that propeller driven aircraft reduce power and prop RPM as soon as possible after takeoff and fly certain headings until a determined altitude is reached. Compliance with their noise abatement program is voluntary and dependent upon weather, aircraft performance capabilities, and pilot experience among other things. If the McCall Airport Master Plan could incorporate a noise abatement plan now it would surely benefit those of us who live here now and those who will move here in the future. Thanks for accepting my comments.

The FAA also approves B-II family of aircraft for the existing and future critical aircraft. We found the forecast to be supported by reasonable planning assumptions and current data. Your forecast appears to be developed using acceptable forecasting methodologies. This forecast was prepared prior to the impacts of COVID-19.The forecast approval is based in reference to the data and methodologies used and the conclusions at the time the document was prepared.However, consideration must still be given to the significant impacts of COVID-19 on aviation activity; as a result, there is lower than normal confidence in future growth projections.FAA approval of the forecast does not provide justification to begin airport development. The approval of the forecast and critical aircraft does not automatically constitute a commitment on the part of the United States to participate in any development recommended in the master plan or shown on the ALP.Justification for future projects will be made based on activity levels at the time the project is requested for development, rather than this forecast approval.Further documentation of actual activity levels reaching the planning activity levels will be needed prior to FAA participation in funding for eligible projects.Further, the approved forecasts may be subject to additional analysis or the FAA may request a sensitivity analysis if this data is to be used for environmental or Part 150 noise planning purposes.
