Subject:Acceptance of Federal Aviation Administration and Caltrans Grant Funding for Buchanan Field Airport Wildlife
Hazard Assessment
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact on the County General Fund. The total project amount will be approximately $111,112.00.
Approximately 90%, or $100,000.00, will be from the FAA, approximately 2.25% or $2,500.00 will be from
Caltrans, and approximately 7.75% or $8,611.00 will be from the Airport Enterprise Fund.
BACKGROUND:
This FAA grant funding request is consistent with the Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan adopted by the Board of
Supervisors on October 28, 2008. Buchanan Field is a Part 139 certificated airport and, as such, it must have a
Wildlife Hazard Assessment performed and documented to be consistent with Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) requirements as outlined in Title 14 CFR 139.337, and comply with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-33.
This project is eligible for Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program Funding. The estimated
project cost is based on costs of similar studies for other general aviation airports; however, few were for California
airports. As such, the actual project cost and associated federal and state grant funding request, however, may be
higher or lower than the estimated amount.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not receive the FAA Grant funding necessary to conduct the required Wildlife Hazard Assessment
for Buchanan Field Airport.
