NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY FOR PUBLIC

COMMENT ON PROPOSED RUNWAY

SAFETY AREA IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN

A 500-YEAR FLOODPLAIN AND

SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD ZONE

AT CARSON CITY AIRPORT,

CARSON CITY, NEVADA

The Carson City Airport Authority, as sponsor of

Carson City Airport, intends to replace existing

unpaved shoulders along both sides of Runway

9-27 with asphalt concrete stabilized shoulders

to reduce erosion that is occurring within the

runway safety area (RSA). The new shoulders

would be 10 feet wide. The surrounding infield

area would be re-graded (± one foot) to meet

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards.

The applicable Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain

maps (Nos. 3200010103E and 3200010104E,

effective dates 1/16/2009) show that the

western one-fifth of the runway (1,200 linear

feet) is in Zone X, 0.2 Percent Annual Chance

Flood Hazard (i.e., 500-year floodplain).

Small portions of the infield subject to grading

could also occur in areas mapped as Special

Flood Hazard Areas. The affected floodplain’s

beneficial values include flood water storage

and conveyance.

Since the airport is seeking FAA funding and

approval of federal actions occurring in a

floodplain, a public notice and opportunity for

comment is being provided. The public may

submit comments on the proposed projects

and their potential effects on the floodplain for a

period of 30 days following the publication of this

notice. You may obtain more information or send

comments to Corey Jenkins, Airport Manager at

775-841-2255 or cjenkins@flycarsoncity.com.

FAA will consider all comments received during

the 30-day comment period before making an

environmental determination.

Before including your address, phone number,

e-mail address, or other personal identifying

information in your comment, be advised that

your entire comment–including your personal

identifying information–may be made publicly

available.
