EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides the results of an analysis of the navigable airspace as defined in Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 77-Safe, Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace established for the Trenton - Mercer Airport (TTN). In addition to the Part 77 airspace analysis, an analysis of the Runway End Siting Surface (both the approach and the departure surfaces), the US Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) surface, the Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System w/Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR), and the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) System was performed. A detailed description of objects that conflict with these surfaces and recommendations regarding the treatment of these obstructions to ensure compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations pertaining to objects that conflict with these surfaces has been provided. A detailed opinion of probable easement acquisition costs, construction costs, and FAA Grant project phasing is referenced in Sections 3.4 and 3.5, and in Tables 3-1 thru 3-3 of this report. In conjunction with this evaluation project and under FAA AIP Grant No. 3-34-0042-43-13 an Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) was performed and uploaded to the FAA A-GIS website. Following is a summary of information contained in this report: ON-AIRPORT OBSTRUCTIONS (Highest Priority Actions) To insure compliance with regulations pertaining to Obstacle Clearance Surfaces for each of the above described surfaces, this report is recommending Removal/Mitigation actions of the identified on-airport obstructions as described in detail in the Obstruction Evaluation Plans & Profiles and as discussed in Chapter 3 of this report. Actions summarized below are this reports opinion of the order of importance to the airport owner: 1) Rwy 06 TERPS Obstructions and MALSR Obstructions:

Note: The Rwy 06 TERPS and MALSR Obstructions as identified in detail in the Obstruction Evaluation Plans & Profiles overlap the Part 77 obstructions, but not the RESS (approach or departure) obstructions. This report considers the Rwy 06 TERPS and MALSR obstructions a higher priority for removal than Part 77.

2) Runway End Siting Surface RESS Obstructions (in order of priority):

Rwy 06 - Approach Surface, and Rwy 24 – Departure Surface; Note: Rwy 24 departure obstructions overlap Part 77 obstructions, but not to the extent in height as Part 77.

Rwy 24 – Approach Surface, and Rwy 6 Departure Surface; Note: Rwy 06 departure obstructions overlap Part 77 obstructions, but not to the extent in height as Part 77.

Rwy 34 – Approach Surface; Rwy 16 – Approach Surface.

3) Title 14 CFR Part 77 Obstructions (in order of priority):

Rwy 06-24 – Primary and Transitional to the Primary Surfaces; Rwy 06 – Approach and Transitional to the Approach Surfaces; Rwy 24 – Approach and Transitional to the Approach Surfaces; Rwy 34 – Approach and Transitional to the Approach Surfaces; Rwy 16 – Approach and Transitional to the Approach Surfaces; Rwy 16-34 – Primary and Transitional to the Primary Surfaces;

As of the date of the aerial survey there are no penetrations to the On-Airport Obstacle Clearance Surface (OCS) of the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) System(s), at runway ends 16, 24, and 34. The opinion of probable construction cost for the treatment of these on-airport obstructions is estimated to be $2 M which would include costs for obstruction removal/treatment, mobilization, surveying, and engineering/construction administration costs. More detailed cost estimates are provided in section 3.2 and 3.8 of this report. OFF-AIRPORT AVIGATION EASEMENTS In order to remove/treat off-airport obstructions to the Title 14 CFR Part 77 surfaces, it is recommended that the airport owner first acquire avigation easements to gain access and removal rights to the affected parcels. This includes a total of 104 parcels. Avigation easement costs have been estimated from tax rolls of the year prior to the evaluation, are based on a percentage of the tax parcel land assessment value only, and are subject to the opinions of professional Real Estate appraisal reports. Based on professional experience with similar projects, a reasonable increase in the estimated compensation cost is merited. This report recommends that permanent avigation easement costs (property owner compensation only) be estimated at a rounded value of $1.5M to be used for budgeting purposes of future acquisitions. OFF-AIRPORT OBSTRUCTIONS 1) Runway End Siting Surface RESS Obstructions (in order of priority):

Rwy 06 - Approach Surface, and Rwy 24 – Departure Surface; Note: Rwy 24 departure obstructions overlap Part 77 obstructions, but not to the extent as Part 77.

Rwy 24 – Approach Surface, and Rwy 6 Departure Surface; Note: Rwy 06 departure obstructions overlap Part 77 obstructions, but not to the extent as Part 77.

Rwy 34 – Approach Surface; Rwy 16 - (No Off-Airport Obstructions).

CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose of Report This report was written for the Trenton-Mercer Airport, Mercer County, New Jersey. The purpose of this report is to provide an analysis of incompatible land use in the runway protection zone and to identify and evaluate obstructions to air navigation, and determine their effect on the safe and efficient use of airspace at the airport. Also discussed within this report, is the purpose and application of Runway End Siting requirements and the evaluation considerations when a penetration of the siting surface is identified. In addition, terminal instrument procedures, departures surfaces, medium intensity approach lighting, and precision approach path indicator surfaces were analyzed. This report provides a description of the Federal Aviation Regulations Title 14 CFR Part 77 Civil Airport Imaginary Surfaces used in the obstruction evaluation, and the standard shape, dimension, and surface slope of the appropriate runway end siting surface along with each of the other above mentioned surfaces as described in the FAA Airport Design Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A. Recommendations for treating identified obstructions and an opinion of cost for acquiring property interests and for removal or lighting of the obstructions, as recommended, are also included.

Safe and efficient landing and takeoff operations at an airport require certain areas on and near the airport be clear of objects or restrictions to objects with a certain function, composition, and/or height. These clearing standards and criteria are established to create a safer environment for aircraft operating at the airport. The airport operator is not required to prevent or clear penetrations to the Part 77, Subpart C, imaginary surfaces when the FAA determines these penetrations are not hazards. However, for purposes of this report, any existing object whether man-made or of natural growth that penetrates these surfaces is classified as an “obstruction” and is presumed to be a hazard to air navigation. These identified obstructions are subject to an FAA aeronautical study, after which the FAA issues a determination stating whether the obstruction is in fact considered a hazard.

CHAPTER 2 – DESCRIPTION OF SURFACES & RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONES

This chapter will discuss the surfaces that were analyzed as part of this evaluation, which consist of the following: 1) FAR Part 77 Primary

Transitional to the Primary; Approach; Transitional to the Approach; A portion of Horizontal Surface within the approach surface limits;

2) Runway End Siting Surfaces - Approach and Departure 3) Terminal Instrument Procedures TERPS

Glide Path Qualification GQS; 4) NAVAIDS

Medium Intensity Approach Lights w/Rails MALSR Precision Approach Path Indicator System PAPI OCS

2.1 Title 14 CFR Part 77 Surfaces The purpose of an analysis of the Title 14 CFR Part 77 Surfaces is to establish:

- The standards used to determine obstructions to air navigation; - The process for aeronautical studies of obstructions to air navigation or navigational

facilities to determine the effect on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace; - The requirements to provide notice to the FAA of existing man-made structures or natural

vegetation features penetrating the standards; and - The process to petition the FAA for discretionary review of determination, revisions, and

extensions of determinations. The Obstruction Plans and Profiles for the airport are presented in Appendix A, and provide detailed obstruction information depicting the FAR Part 77 imaginary surfaces on and around Trenton-Mercer Airport, through which no object should penetrate. The dimensions and criteria employed in determining obstructions penetrating or within 12.5 feet of penetrating (for natural vegetation) the imaginary surfaces for the airport as outlined in Federal Aviation Regulations Title 14 CFR Part 77, Safe, Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace are detailed within the following paragraphs. Natural vegetation located within a 12.5 feet buffer zone of Title 14 CFR Part 77 surfaces is also considered an obstruction, per FAA Engineering Brief No. 91, Management of Vegetation in the Airport Environment.

Although, for clarification purposes, only obstacles actually penetrating the primary surface have been identified. A buffer zone to the primary surface was not included in the primary surface model for that analysis. The primary surface of a runway is defined as an area longitudinally centered on the runway for a width dependent on the type of runway, and extending 200 feet beyond each end of the landing threshold. At Trenton-Mercer Airport, Runway 6-24 is a transport category runway with a precision instrument approach. This corresponds to a primary surface width of 1,000 feet. Runway 16-34 is defined as a transport category runway with a non-precision instrument approach. Therefore, its primary surface width is 500 feet. Primary surface widths vary with the classification of the runway end; however, the width is uniform throughout and is based on the most precise approach for either end of that runway.

The Part 77 approach surface is longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline and extends outward and upward from each end of the primary surface. The slope and configuration of each runway approach surface varies as a function of runway type and availability of instrument approaches.

As previously mentioned, Runway 6-24 is a runway with a precision instrument approach. Runway 6 has a precision approach surface that consists of an inner width of 1,000 feet, extends outward and upward at a slope of 50 feet (horizontal) to 1 foot (vertical) for a distance of 10,000 feet, and then a slope of 40 feet (horizontal) to 1 foot (vertical) for a distance of 40,000 feet to an outer width of 16,000 feet. Runway 24 has a non-precision (other than utility) approach surface that consists of an inner width of 1,000 feet, extending outward and upward at a slope of 34 feet (horizontal) to 1 foot (vertical) for a distance of 10,000 feet, to an outer width of 3,500 feet.

Runways 16 and 34 each have non-precision instrument approach surfaces that consist of an inner width of 500 feet, extending outward and upward at a slope of 34 feet (horizontal) to 1 foot (vertical) for a distance of 10,000 feet to an outer width of 3,500 feet. The transitional surfaces extend outward and upward from the runway primary surface and each of the runway approach surfaces to the airport horizontal surface at right angles to the runway centerline at a slope of 7 feet (horizontal) to 1 foot (vertical). Obstructions to the airport's FAR Part 77 transitional surfaces have been identified. The horizontal surface is a horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airport elevation. The published airport elevation for Trenton-Mercer Airport is 212.6 feet above mean sea level (MSL). For this report, we will be referencing the horizontal surface elevation as 363 feet above mean sea level, for simplification purposes. The perimeter of the horizontal surface is delineated by arcs with a radius of 10,000 feet from the center of each end of the primary surface of each of the runway ends for Runways 6 & 24, and Runways 16 & 34. Adjacent arcs from each runway are connected by lines tangent to these arcs .

For purposes of this report, only that portion of the horizontal surface contained within the limits of the Part 77 approach surface and transitional to the approach surface will be analyzed An obstruction to the airport's horizontal surface has been identified within the horizontal limits of the Runway 24 approach. Airports that have received federal funds have an obligation through grant assurances to identify and mitigate hazards to navigable airspace at their airport. AIP grant assurances are obligations associated with a grant that require the sponsors to maintain and operate their facilities safely and efficiently and in accordance with specified conditions. Many of the assurances are based on 49 USC sect. 47105, 47106 and 47107. (http://www.faa.gov/airportssipgrant_assurances/). The critical areas at an airport that need to be secured and protected from a preservation of navigable airspace standpoint include the primary, and the approach and departure paths of the runways. The Part 77 imaginary surfaces should be protected through height limitations on development both on and around the airport. It is best to maintain obstruction-free airspace and a reasonable amount of vacant land at both ends of each runway. Federal Regulation Title 14 CFR Part 77 establishes standards and notification requirements for objects affecting navigable airspace. This notification serves as the basis for:

Evaluating the effect of the construction or alteration on operating procedures Determining the potential hazardous effect of the proposed construction on air navigation Identifying mitigating measures to either return or enhance safe air navigation Charting of new objects.

Notification allows the FAA to identify potential aeronautical hazards in advance thus preventing or minimizing the adverse impacts to the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace. For Analysis of the Title 14 CFR Part 77 Surfaces and Identification of obstructions, see Chapter 3.2 of this report.

2.2 Runway End Siting Surfaces (RESS)

FAA AC 150/5300-13A, Airport Design, paragraph 303 has established standards for identifying obstacle penetrations to approach and departure surfaces that may affect the location of runway thresholds and departure ends. Runway end siting requirements, provides guidance on the establishment of runway thresholds and departure ends. The threshold is ideally located at the beginning of the runway. The threshold is located to provide proper clearance for landing aircraft over existing obstacles while on approach landing. When an

Trenton Mercer Airport

2-4

object beyond the airport owner’s power to remove, relocate, or lower obstructs the airspace required for aircraft to land at the beginning of the runway for arriving aircraft, the threshold may be located farther down the runway. Such a threshold is called a “displaced threshold”. Thresholds can also be displaced to provide:

additional RSA prior to the threshold additional ROFA prior to the threshold location of the RPZ to mitigate unacceptable incompatible land uses; and mitigation of environmental impacts

The portion of the runway behind a displaced threshold may be available for takeoffs and, depending on the reason for displacement, may be available for takeoffs and landings from the opposite direction. Displacement of a threshold reduces the length of runway available for landings. There are no displaced thresholds at any of the runway ends at Trenton-Mercer Airport. Displacement of the threshold often introduces disruptions to the design of the airport. Approach light systems, NAVAIDS, and runway/taxiway markings may need to be relocated while threshold displacement is often used as a solution for constrained airspace, the airport operator will need to weigh the trade-offs of a displaced threshold. Threshold displacement should only be undertaken after a full evaluation reveals that displacement is the best alternative. A portion of the scope of this report is to analyze the need to displace the runway threshold based upon obstacles penetrating the approach and the departure surfaces as identified within the parameters of the Runway End Siting requirements, as described in paragraph 303, AC 150/5300-13A. As directed by FAA on previous obstruction evaluation projects, once on-airport obstacles penetrating the RESS have been identified, the FAA considers removal of these obstacles the owner’s responsibility, and that the airport owner should be taking immediate actions to remove those obstacles. Therefore, any threshold displacement shown on the Plans & Profiles is the result of identified off-airport obstructions where the airport owner does not have rights to remove them. Approach Surfaces The approach surfaces defined in this section (2.2) are not the approach surfaces defined in FAR Part 77. RESS approach surfaces are designed to protect the use of the runway in both visual and instrument meteorological conditions near the airport. The runway end siting approach surface typically has a trapezoidal shape that extends away from the runway, centered along the centerline, and at a specific slope, expressed in horizontal feet by vertical feet. The specific size, slope and starting point of the trapezoid depends upon the visibility minimums and the type of procedure associated with the runway end. Approach surface threshold establishment should be positioned so that there are no obstacle penetrations to the appropriate surface specified in the airport design AC, in Table 3-2, and that TERPS, Departure Surfaces, and RSA and RPZ standards are met. Runway end siting approach surfaces were analyzed and obstruction identification at each runway end was performed using the applicable Runway Type Category based on Table 3-2 of the FAA Advisory

Trenton Mercer Airport

2-5

Circular 150/5300-13A. Runway End Siting Surface (RESS) shape, dimensions and slope are keyed to the related runway end, as described below: Runway 6: The Runway End Siting – Runway Type Category for Runway 6 is a “Precision Instrument Runway” Type 7 Siting Surface, having a Runway Type identified as “Approach end of runways expected to accommodate instrument approaches having visibility minimums <3/4 statute mile or precision approach (ILS, or GLS) day or night”. This runway type has been determined to be the appropriate surface for determining the location of the threshold after identifying obstacles penetrating this RESS. The Type 7 surface starts 200 feet beyond the runway end of pavement at the elevation of the runway centerline and slopes upward from the starting point at a slope of 34 feet (horizontal) to 1 foot (vertical) for a distance of 10,000 feet. The inner width of the surface is 800 feet and the outer width is 3,800 feet centered on the runway centerline. Refer to table 3-2 of the airport design advisory circular for additional information. Runway 24; 16 and 34: The Runway End Siting – Runway Type Category for Runway(s) 24; 16 and 34 is a “Non-Precision (other than utility) Instrument Runway” Type 5 Siting Surface, having a Runway Type identified as “Approach end of runways expected to support instrument night operations serving greater than Category B aircraft. (Note: Marking and lighting of obstacles to this surface or the use of a Visual Guidance Slope Indicator (VGSI), as defined by Order 8260.3, may avoid displacing the threshold.) This runway type has been determined to be the appropriate surface for determining the location of the threshold after identifying obstacles penetrating this RESS. The surface starts 200 feet beyond the runway end of pavement at the elevation of the runway centerline and slopes upward from the starting point at a slope 20 feet (horizontal) to 1 foot (vertical) for a distance of 10,000 feet. The inner width of the surface is 800 feet and the outer width is 3,800 feet centered on the runway centerline. Refer to table 3-2 of the airport design advisory circular for additional information.

In accordance with FAA AC 150-5300-13A, when a penetration to the approach surface is identified, one or more of the following steps must be implemented

the obstacle is removed or lowered the runway land threshold is displaced the glide path angle (GPA) and/or threshold crossing height (TCH) is to be modified the instrument approach visibility minimums are to be raised to comply with specified

criteria Departure Surfaces “Instrument Departure Runway. A runway identified by the airport operator, through the appropriate FAA Airports Office, to the FAA Regional Airspace Procedures Team intended primarily for instrument departures” (AC 150/5300-13A, Airport Design, paragraph 102.rr ) As stated in (AC 150/5300-13A, Airport Design, paragraph 303.a.(2)(4) Establishing and Protecting Runway Ends, “The 40:1 instrument departure surface associated with the ends of designated instrument departure runways should be clear of obstacles. The FAA recommends the 40:1

Trenton Mercer Airport

2-6

departure surface be clear at all other departure ends. When it is not possible to keep the departure surface clear of obstacles, obstacles must be evaluated through the Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) process. The Geodetic Control, Remote Sensing, Data Collection and Geographic Information for this project were obtained following the requirements of the FAA Airport-GIS Website according to AC No. 150/5300-16A, AC No. 150/5300-17C, and AC No. 150/5300-18B. The 40:1 instrument departure surface OCS starts at the stop end of runway, has a 1,000-foot inner width and 6,466-foot outer width for a length of 10,200 feet. Departure surfaces, when clear, allow pilots to follow standard departure procedures. The departure surface is a trapezoid shape that begins at the end of the Takeoff Distance Available (TODA), and extends along the extended runway centerline with a slope of 1 unit vertically for every 40 units horizontally (40:1), as identified in figure 3-4 of the Airport Design AC, and as shown in Plan and Profile in the Obstruction Evaluation drawings (refer to CG103 and CG202). Obstacles penetrating the departure surface will affect runway departure procedures. These procedures may require:

non- standard climb rates non-standard (higher) departure minimums; or reduction in the length of the TODA

Runway end siting departure (OCS) surfaces were analyzed and obstruction identification for Runway 24 Departure (at runway 6 end) and Runway 06 Departure (at runway 24 end) was performed using the guidance listed in Table 3-2, Approach/Departure Standards Table, runway type 9, and as shown in Figure 3-4, Departure for Instrument Runways (40:1) of paragraph 303 of the FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A. Runway End Siting Departure Surface shape, dimensions and slope are keyed to the related runway end. For Runways 06 and 24, the 40:1 OCS starts at the stop end of runway, i.e. the runway end of pavement, and at the elevation of the runway centerline, slopes upward from the starting point at a slope 40 feet (horizontal) to 1 foot (vertical) for a distance of 10,200 feet. The inner width of the 40:1 OCS is 1,000 feet and the outer width is 6,466 feet centered on the runway centerline. When a penetration to a specified departure surface is identified, one or more of the following steps must be implemented.

the obstacle is removed, lowered, or relocated reduce the takeoff distance available (TODA) modify standard instrument departure procedures by raising departure minimums and/or

increasing specified climb gradients In conjunction with this evaluation project and under FAA AIP Grant No. 3-34-0042-43-13 an Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) was performed and uploaded to the FAA A-GIS website.

For Analysis of the RESS Approach & Departure Surfaces and Identification of obstructions, see Chapter 3.3 of this report.

2.3 Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) Surfaces GQS Surface (30:1) An analysis was performed for a Runway Type 8 End Siting Surface Category. This type siting surface is identified as “Approach end of runways expected to accommodate approaches with vertical guidance (Glide Path Qualification Surface [GQS]). The GQS is applicable to approach procedures providing vertical path guidance. This runway type siting surface is also applicable to a Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) surface. The surface starts at the runway end of pavement at the elevation of the runway centerline and slopes upward from the starting point at a slope 30 feet (horizontal) to 1 foot (vertical) for a distance of 10,000 feet. The inner width of the surface is runway width plus 200 feet and the outer width is 1,520 feet centered on the runway centerline. When an object exceeds the height of the GQS, an Approach with Vertical Guidance APV (ILS,PAR,LPV,LNAV/VNAV) is not authorized. This is critical to Trenton-Mercer Airport, since penetrations to the GQS may mean that the airport will lose their GQS Approach. TERPS Approach Surfaces (“W”, “X” and “Y”)

The Purpose of the United States Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (FAA Order 8260.3B CHG 20) is to prescribe the criteria for the formulation, review, approval and the publishing of procedures for IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) operations to and from civil airports. TERPS criteria have been established for the following Instrument Procedures: Precision Approach (PAR, ILS, MLS), Non-Precision Approach (VOR, TACAN, LNAV, NDB, ASR), Approach with Vertical Guidance (LDA, LPV, VNAV), Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and for Departure Procedures (DP). The key considerations for developing Terminal Instrument Approach and Departure Procedures include but are not limited to, existing obstructions, ground/satellite based equipment, lighting and aircraft category. TERPS criteria specify the minimum measure of obstacle clearance that is considered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to supply a satisfactory level of vertical protection from obstructions and are predicated on normal aircraft operations.

“Establishing and Protecting Runway Ends. Runway ends are established whenever an existing runway is extended or shortened, thresholds are relocated or displaced, or a new runway is constructed. When establishing runway ends, all TERPS approach surfaces and approach surfaces in Table 3-4 and Table 3-5 associated with the threshold should be clear of obstacles” (AC 150/52300-13A, Airport Design, paragraph 303.a.(2) (4)). The Precision Obstacle Clearance Surface Final Segment

The area originates 200 feet from the Landing Threshold Point (LTP) and ends at the Precision Final Approach Fix. The primary area consists of the “W” and “X” OCS, and the secondary area consists of the “Y” OCS.

The width of the “W” OCS is 400 feet either side of runway centerline extended, at the beginning, and expands uniformly to 2,200 feet either side of C.L. at 50,200 feet from LTP. The “W” surface gradient is 34:1.

The “X” OCS bounds the outside edge of the “W” surface. The width is 300 feet at the beginning, and expands uniformly to 3,876 feet at 50,200 feet from LTP. The “X” OCS begins at the height of the “W” surface, and rises at a slope of 4 (horizontal) to 1(vertical) in a direction perpendicular to the final approach course.

The “Y” OCS bounds the outside edge of the “X” surface. The width is 300 feet at the beginning, and expands uniformly to 2,500 feet at 50,200 feet from LTP. The “Y” OCS begins at the height of the “X” surface, and rises at a slope of 7 (horizontal) to 1(vertical) in a direction perpendicular to the final approach course.

2.4 Medium Intensity Approach Light System w/ Rails ( MALSR ) Surfaces

The MALSR consists of a MALS plus RAIL. The RAIL portion of the facility consists of five sequenced flashers located on the extended runway centerline, the first being located 200 feet beyond the approach ends of the MALS with successive units being located at each 200-foot intervals out to 2400. Feet from the runway threshold. All lights are aimed into the approach to the runway and establish the “Approach Light Plane”. Reference: FAA ORDER JO6850.2B.

Trenton Mercer Airport

The ideal installation, and obstruction clearance, of an approach lighting system, which shall be accomplished whenever practicable, is accomplished when the following requirement is met:

The approach light plane is 400 feet wide centered on the extended runway centerline, and must be clear of any obstacles blocking the view of the approach lights from landing aircraft.

The ideal installation, and obstruction clearance, of the RAIL portion is that all sequence flashing lights be in a horizontal light plane with no obstruction penetrating the primary and the secondary RAIL plane(s). The Primary Plane of the RAIL system begins at the last steady-burning light of the MALS portion and extends 200 feet beyond the last flashing light in the RAIL portion of the MALSR system. Where required to meet visibility, obstruction clearances, or access requirements, the width may be increased to a maximum of 100 feet, 50 feet each side of the runway centerline extended, and at a gradient that follows the plane of the RAIL system, or in this case the profile of the light plane as designed and shown on Federal Aviation Administration As-Built drawing AEA-E-25125, dated 2/25/85. The Secondary Plane begins at the edge of the of the primary plane, has a slope of 7 feet horizontal to 1 foot vertical, extending outward from the edge of the primary plane for a distance of 150 feet. Both primary and secondary planes begin at the last steady-burning lights of the MALS system and extend 200 feet beyond the last flashing light in the RAIL portion of the MALSR system. An additional secondary plane underlies the 7:1 plane, with a longitudinal slope of 50 feet horizontal to 1 foot vertical, beginning at the height of the last steady-burning light and extending outward (laterally) to 150 feet from the edge of the primary plane at zero gradient. The surface extends longitudinally to 200 feet beyond the last flashing light in the RAIL system. No object shall penetrate either the primary or the secondary plane(s). The MALSR light plane elevations and slopes are shown as depicted on Federal Aviation Administration As-Built drawing AEA-E-25125, dated 2/25/85. For Analysis of the MALSR Surface and Identification of Obstructions, see Chapter 3.6 of this report.

2.5 Precision Approach Path Indicator System (PAPI) Surfaces PAPI Obstacle Clearance Surface (OCS)

Runways 16, 24 and 34 are equipped with a Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) system. An analysis was performed in accordance with FAA Design & Installation Details for Airport Visual Aids, Advisory Circular 150/5340-30D and FAA Advisory Circular Airport Design, Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A, for each respective PAPI system to determine if any Title 14 CFR Part 77 obstructions also penetrate the PAPI obstacle clearance surface (OCS) at each location. The PAPI

Trenton Mercer Airport

2-10

OCS is established to provide the pilot with a minimum clearance over obstacles during approach. The PAPI must be positioned and aimed so that no obstacles penetrate this surface. The surface begins 300 feet (90 m) in front of the PAPI system ( closer to the threshold) and proceeds outward into the approach zone at an angle 1 degree less than the aiming angle of the third LHA from the runway. Research of the Federal Aviation Administration - Internet Datasheet Viewer revealed that the VGSI Com. Angle for runways 16, 24, and 34 is 3.00 degrees. For a 3 degree glide path and 20 minute separation between LHA’s, the third LHA from the runway would be aimed at 2 degrees, 50 minutes elevation. The configuration and location of each OCS, in addition to the above stated FAA Guidance, was determined based on the criteria stated in Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic Organization Policy “ORDER JO 6850.2B, effective date 8/20/’10. The OCS surface proceeds outward into the approach zone at an angle of one degree less than LHA # 3 on-course aiming angle, which would be at 1.83 degrees. The surface extends 10 degrees on either side of the runway centerline extended, and extends 4 statute miles from its point of origin. If a site survey determines that there is an obstacle, which penetrates the obstacle clearance surface and cannot be removed, then the glide path angle must be changed or the PAPI system moved further from the threshold. By moving or re-aiming the PAPI, the PAPI obstacle clearance surface is repositioned so it will not be penetrated by an obstacle.

2.6 Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) Surfaces As defined by A/C 150/5300-13A, Airport Design, the function of the RPZ is "to enhance the protection of people and property on the ground." This is best achieved through airport owner control in order to clear RPZs of incompatible objects and activities. It is desirable to clear the entire RPZ of all above-ground objects where this is impractical airport owners at a minimum should maintain RPZs clear of all facilities supporting incompatible activities. Overview Runway protection zones are a trapezoidal area “off the end of the runway end that serves to enhance the protection of people and property on the ground” in the even that an aircraft lands or crashes beyond the runway end. Runway Protection Zones underlie a portion of the approach closest to the airport. Many people have confused the RPZ with the need for Object Free Areas (OFA), Obstacle Free Zones (OFZ), Object clearing criteria, and Part 77 requirements. Each of these serves distinct purposes and are not all coincident. While the RPZ also has limitations on obstructions (because it lies below the approach surface and because it includes safety areas and obstacle free areas), the primary purpose of the RPZ is the protection of people and property on the ground.

Trenton Mercer Airport

2-11

Airport Property and the RPZ Under FAA design criteria (which applies to all obligated airports), airports must own the landing area. Secondly the airport owner must have sufficient interest in the Runway Protection Zones to protect the Runway Protection Zones from both obstructions and incompatible land use. Finally the airport owner must strive to attain compatible zoning around the airport in order to prevent incompatible land uses that:

Could cause sufficient conflict that endangers the airport Cause it to be closed or Required substantial remedial investment to purchase conflicting developed

property.

Land and/or easement acquisitions are considered necessary to assure the airport some form of control over current and future objects and obstructions in these areas, which is critical to the continued safe operation of the airport. Sufficient interest in the RPZs can be accomplished in three primary ways. The first and the preferred method is for the airport to purchase the approach areas in fee. The second is through adequate zoning. The third alternative is though purchase of an easement (or a combination of easement and zoning). Ownership in fee is preferred because it provides maximum control for the airport. FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13 states this ownership policy as follows: “All…existing and planned airport elements including the following should be on airport property. (A) Object Free Areas, (B) Runway Protection Zones (C) Areas under…Part 77… imaginary surfaces out where the surfaces obtain a height of at least 35 feet above the primary surface; and (D) Areas, other than those which can be adequately controlled by zoning, easements, or other means to mitigate potential incompatible uses…Such control includes clearing RPZ areas (and maintaining them clear) of incompatible uses and activities.” Through experience we have learned that it is usually less expensive in the long run to acquire the RPZ in fee rather than acquiring an easement. This is because an easement must be very restrictive in order to provide adequate control unless zoning is also very restrictive. Compatible Land Use

FAA AC 150/5300-13A and FAA's memorandum on "Interim Guidance on Land Uses within a Runway Protection Zone" were used to identify land uses that are permissible and those that require further evaluation. Land uses that require further coordination with the FAA APP-400 include:

Trenton Mercer Airport

2-12

Buildings and structures (e.g., but not limited to): residences, schools, churches, hospitals, or other medical care facilities, commercial/industrial buildings, etc.;

Recreational land use (e.g. but not limited to): golf courses. sports fields, amusement parks, other places of public assembly, etc.;

Transportation facilities (e.g., but not limited to): Rail facilities – light or heavy, passenger or freight, public roads, Vehicular parking facilities;

Fuel storage facilities; Hazardous material storage; Wastewater treatment facilities; Above ground utility infrastructure, i.e. electrical substations, including solar panel

installations.

The FAA expects sponsors to take all possible measures to protect against, remove, or mitigate incompatible land uses. Compatible land use within the RPZ is generally restricted to such land uses as agricultural, golf course, and similar uses that do not involve congregations of people or construction of building or other improvements that may be obstructions. “The following land use criteria apply within the RPZ: Prohibited Land uses from the RPZ are residences and places of public assembly. Public assembly facilities include, but are not limited to, schools, churches, office buildings, conference or convention facilities, employment and shopping centers, arenas, athletic fields, stadiums, clubhouses, museums, and similar facilities and places, but do not include parks or similar facilities unless used in a manner where people are concentrated in reasonably close quarters. Golf Courses are no longer permitted within the RPZ unless a Wildlife Hazard Assessment determines that it will not pose a hazard as a wildlife attractant. Automobile parking facilities, although discouraged, may be permitted, provided the parking facilities and any associated appurtenances are located outside of the Object Free Area (OFA) extension. While it is desirable to clear all objects from the RPZ, some uses are permitted, provided they do not attract wildlife, are outside the Runway OFA, and do not interfere with navigational aids.” In cases where the land is already developed and it would be expensive to acquire the existing development, this policy is a recommendation to the land owner. (i,e. it is a notice to the land owner that the FAA considers such as incompatible) “Where it is determined to be impractical for the airport owner to acquire

and plan the land uses within the entire RPZ, the RPZ land use standards have recommendation status for that portion of the RPZ not controlled by the Airport Owner.”

Where such land if vacant, it is rarely impractical to acquire the land in the RPZ. Even if the cost of the land seems to be prohibitive the airport owner is expected to exercise sufficient control through zoning or easements to prevent prohibited land uses.

Trenton Mercer Airport

2-13

It is FAA policy to object to incompatible land uses that are proposed for property within the RPZ whether or not the airport owns the land and such objection should be anticipated. In particular when the FAA receives a proposal for an airspace study under FAR Part 157 (14 CFR 157) for the RPZ, they will likely object when that proposal conflicts with an airport planning or design standard or recommendation. FAA recommends that Airport owners and managers review the Airport Layout Plan for conformity with the above statement. Airports that do not own the entire RPZ should consider the need to acquire such that if there is any possibility that incompatible land uses could occur with the RPZ. In particular, easements should be reviewed to ensure that land uses are restricted not just obstructions. Where necessary requests should be made to the appropriate zoning authority to rezone such land to prevent future incompatible use. Where neither zoning nor easements are adequate the RPZ should be acquired in fee. The Airport layout plan should be revised to show such future land acquisition so that it is eligible under the Airport Improvement Program. An airport can acquire such land and be reimbursed at a later date from a future AIP grant, if funds become available, if such land acquisition is shown on an approved ALP, and the FAA determines that such land is eligible. (AIP Sponsor Guide – 500)

RPZ Dimensions The RPZ is trapezoidal in shape and centered on the extended runway centerline. The dimensions of the RPZ are determined by the type of aircraft that the facility expects to serve, and by the approach visibility minimums for each runway end. For Runway 6, with approach visibility minimums of lower than 3/4 mile, the RPZ length is 2,500 feet and the outer width of the RPZ is 1,750 feet. The RPZ begins at the end of the primary surface with an inner width of 1000 feet. For Runway 24, with approach visibility minimums of not lower than one mile, the RPZ length is 1,700 feet and the outer width of the RPZ is 1,010 feet. The RPZ begins at the end of the primary surface with an inner width of 1000 feet. Runways 16 and 34 have approach visibility minimums not lower than 1 mile. Therefore, the RPZ length is 1,700 feet and the outer width of the RPZ is 1,010 feet. The RPZ begins at the end of the primary surface with an inner width of 500 feet. The RPZ dimensional Approach and Departure standards for the runway ends are as follows: Inner Width

(Feet) Outer Width

(Feet) Length (Feet)

Approach Departure Approach Departure Approach Departure Runway 6 1,000 500 1,750 1,010 2,500 1,700 Runway 16 500 500 1,010 1,010 1,700 1,010 Runway 24 500 500 1,010 1,010 1,700 1,700 Runway 34 500 500 1,010 1,010 1,700 1,010

An Analysis of the incompatible land uses for each of the runway ends is provided in Chapter 3.4 of this report. For Analysis of the RPZ Surfaces and Identification of obstructions, see Chapter 3.4.

2.7 Summary The surfaces as described above were analyzed for determination of obstructions to the navigable airspace surrounding Trenton - Mercer Airport, with a listing of the analysis identifying those obstructions in Section 3 of this report. In order to control future development and construction of obstacles which may hamper the Safe, Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace in the operation of aircraft using Trenton - Mercer Airport, it is recommended that this Obstruction Evaluation be incorporated into the zoning ordinances of the municipalities surrounding the airport. Existing land uses and objects/obstacles have been identified by this report as being within the RPZ trapezoidal area for each runway end. Their presence is being questioned as far as the FAA’s definition of incompatible land use within a Runway Protection Zone. By submittal of this report the airport owner is petitioning the FAA for discretionary review of determination, revisions, and extensions of determinations concerning the acceptability of these existing land uses and objects/obstacles being within each runway Runway Protection Zone.

CHAPTER 3 – SURFACE ANALYSIS & OBSTRUCTION IDENTIFICATION

3.1 Introduction This chapter will identify obstructions and discuss recommendations for treatment of obstructions located within the limits of the various surfaces and protection zones as described in Chapter 2. The chapter will conclude with opinions of cost for all recommended obstruction removal and acquisition of property interests through avigation easements. Obstruction Data Tables, shown in Appendix A, lists obstructions to the Title 14 CFR Part 77 Imaginary Surfaces. Also tabulated are their locations and elevations, the Part 77 surface elevation which they penetrate, if within RPZ or wetland areas, if located on-airport or off-airport property, and recommended actions to be taken. Obstruction numbers listed in the obstruction data coincide with the obstructions shown on the plans.

3.2 Title 14 CFR Part 77 Obstruction Descriptions and Recommended Actions

As discussed in Section 2.1, Title 14 CFR Part 77 Surfaces, there are five imaginary surfaces through which no object should penetrate except those required by function. Four of these surfaces were analyzed in this study: the primary, transitional to the primary, approach, and transitional to the approach. Portions of the horizontal surface within limits of the approach were also analyzed. For purpose of this study, trees (natural vegetation) penetrating or within twelve and one-half (12.5) feet of penetrating the Part 77 imaginary surfaces are considered obstructions. Individual tree obstructions are identified where possible; otherwise, groups of tree canopy areas and forested areas have been outlined and identified as tree canopy area obstructions. Significantly taller tree top elevations within the canopy area contours are also shown. Obstructions are discussed under the various surfaces through which they penetrate, and under the respective section of each runway primary surface and within each runway end approach, in sections 3.2-1 thru 3.2-6 of this report. Recommended Actions are listed in Obstruction Data Tables, shown in Appendix A within this report. The Recommended Actions have been categorized into eight (8) types as follows:

a) “Clearing & Grubbing” of the natural vegetation, such as individual tree canopy’s and canopy areas, involves cutting the tree trunk to ground level, grubbing out the stumps to below ground surface, re-grading the ground surface with topsoil, and seeding and mulching the disturbed area;

Trenton Mercer Airport

3-2

b) “Wetland Clearing” of individual tree canopy’s or canopy areas would involve cutting

the tree trunk to approximately 1 foot from the ground surface, and removal of the woody material without the use of mechanical equipment and only during periods of frozen ground conditions. These procedures thereby creating minimal surface disturbance to environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands;

c) “Crown Reduction” - involves an accepted method of reducing the tree canopy heights

by proper pruning methods. Generally speaking, tree top crown reduction greater than ten feet is not recommended. The concept of whether or not individual tree canopy removal (crown reduction) is an option consists of three scenarios: 1) Tree canopy of slight penetration into the 12.5 foot buffer would be a recommendation of “No Action”. 2) Tree canopy partially extending into the 12.5 foot buffer, but not penetrating the Part 77 surface would be a recommendation to consider “Crown Reduction” dependent on various factors about the tree. This would typically be recommended for residential areas only. 3) Tree canopy significantly penetrating the Part 77 surface, requiring top canopy removal of more than 12.5 feet to be beneath the buffer zone, is not recommended for crown reduction;

d) “Light Obstruction” would consist of complying with standards as outlined in Federal

Aviation Administration Advisory Circular AC 70/7460-1K, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, and in the case of natural vegetative growth, lighting would involve erecting Tower(s) with red obstruction lights in tree canopy areas, or installing red obstruction lights directly on the fixed obstruction. This report acknowledges that there may be instances where the identified obstruction presently has an obstruction light attached to it, but determination of the condition, age, antiquated technology, or remaining useful life is not part of this obstruction analysis, and therefore the comment to “Install Obstruction Light” is the recommended action at this juncture of the project;

e) “Remove/Relocate Poles” generally refers to (utility poles, flag poles and light poles)

and would involve burying the utility and removing or relocating the poles;

f) “Acquire Property/Remove Obstruction” refers to private property located within the FAR Part 77 primary surface. The property would be acquired in fee simple, the property owner would be provided relocation assistance, and any or all Part 77 obstructions would be removed;

g) “Terrain Obstruction” identifies a ground area that has been determined (within

tolerances of this project’s aerial photographic methods) to be a penetration of a Part 77 surface. Through field topographic survey methods, the extent of the penetration or the limit of grading requirements can be more accurately determined. The recommended action for this type of obstruction is “grading”;

Trenton Mercer Airport

3-3

h) “No Action” would suggest that the object may be so located with respect to other objects or terrain, removed from general flow of air traffic, or may be so conspicuous by its shape, size, or color that marking or lighting would serve no useful purpose. (FAA AC 70/7460-1K)

Section 2.3, Runway Protection Zone, recommends that the airport owner acquire control over the area within the RPZ. This control is preferably exercised through actual fee simple acquisition, although the acquisition of sufficient property interest in the RPZ in the form of an Avigation Easement is acceptable. In the case of Trenton-Mercer Airport, it is recommended that the airport owner acquire avigation easements over off-airport land within the approach surface and RPZ to provide the control for clearing, removing or marking incompatible objects. Avigation easements should also be acquired over land outside of the RPZ where objects penetrate the Part 77 transitional surfaces. Parcel numbers of lands where avigation easements should be acquired are shown on each of the primary plan and approach plan drawings. The following recommended actions are based on an analysis of the Title 14 CFR Part 77 surfaces to Runway 6-24 and Runway 16-34, and were developed to ensure compliance with FAA requirements regarding object penetrations to these surfaces. The recommendations are made with the intent that all stated recommendations will at some point be implemented by the Sponsor, such that obstruction lighting and removal will ensure compliance with FAA regulations.

3.3 Runway End Siting Analysis 3.3-1 Approach Surface Siting Approach surface threshold establishment should be positioned so that there are no obstacle penetrations to the appropriate surface specified in the airport design AC, in Table 3-2, and that RSA and RPZ standards are met. For each runway end, an analysis was performed using the RESS category determined to be appropriate for each respective runway end in the following manner: The RESS was placed at the required location relative to the runway end of pavement to determine if obstacles were encountered. The surface was then displaced the minimum distance required to clear the critical obstruction for the analysis iteration, with the analysis repeated for the new area covered by the displaced RESS. Subsequent iterations were performed in the same manner until no obstructions were encountered. The following summarizes the results of the analysis for each runway end.

Note: 1. The critical obstruction to this surface is located on-airport property. As directed by FAA

on previous obstruction evaluation projects, once on-airport obstacles penetrating the RESS have been identified, the FAA considers removal of these obstacles the owner’s responsibility, and that the airport owner should be taking immediate actions to remove those obstacles. Therefore, this report considers that obstacles penetrating RESS surfaces, which are located within the airport owners control to remove, are not considered ‘an obstruction that would require future displacement of the threshold’.

3.3-2 Departure Surface Obstructions & Siting Departure surfaces, when clear, allow pilots to follow standard departure procedures. Runway 24 Departure Surface (runway 06 end) Drawing CG103 identifies 46 obstructions to the RW 24 Departure Surface, all contained within the obstruction areas identified for the FAR Part 77 Approach and the Transitional Surfaces, and within areas on-airport or within proposed Part 77 off-airport easements. No additional removal costs beyond FAR Part 77 removals would be incurred to have the runway 24 departure surface cleared of obstructions.

Runway 06 Departure Surface (runway 24 end) Drawing CG103 identifies 46 obstructions to the RW 24 Departure Surface, of which all are also FAR Part77 approach and transitional surface obstructions with the exception of:

Obstruction 6-5 Additional (1) tree Obstruction 6-6 An additional Light Pole Obstruction 6-7 An additional 0.12 ac of tree canopy area Obstruction 6-8 An additional 0.44 ac of tree canopy area Obstructions 6-13 & 14 Additional (13) trees Obstruction 6-16 An additional 0.14 ac of tree canopy area Obstruction 6-17 (2) Communication Towers/Antennas

It should be noted that departure obstruction 6-17 consists of two (2) communications tower/antennas that are not FAR Part 77 obstructions and that are located off airport property. The tower/antennas have been identified as penetrating the 40:1 departure surface by 6.0 feet and by 13.9 feet. Refer to sheet CG 109 for a Plan and sheet CG 205 for a detailed departure surface profile of each tower. Presently the airport is in negotiations with the tower owner concerning removal of the tower or lowering of the top sections of each to an elevation that is safely below the departure surface. The vertical tolerances of the aerial photography are approximately 2.5 feet for non-hard surface objects that were visible at the altitude the photography was flown. This report recommends that a field survey be performed to accurately determine the top elevations of each tower/antenna and the 40:1 departure surface elevation over each, for a more accurate determination of the extent of penetration. With the exception of departure obstruction 6-17, no additional easements are required for the airport owner to remove the above described departure obstructions beyond what is required for removal of the identified FAR Part 77 obstructions. An opinion of probable construction cost (only) for the above described obstructions is $23,500. A 40:1 OCS departure surface analysis was performed at runway ends 6 and 24 using the departure standards as listed for runway type 9 in Table 3.2 of the Airport Design AC 150/5300-13A. The 40:1 OCS departure surface was placed at the required location relative to the runway end of pavement as defined in chapter 2 of this report, to determine if obstacles penetrated the 40:1 OCS surface. The surface was then displaced the minimum distance required to clear the critical obstruction noting the remaining Take Off Distance Available (TODA). The following summarizes the results of the 40:1 OCS departure surface analysis at runways 6 and 24.

Note: TODA/TORA Dimension shown considers runway gradient and actual OCS runway intersection. As previously stated in paragraphs above, “When it is not possible to keep the departure surface clear of obstacles, obstacles must be evaluated through the Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) process”. For this reason, it is recommended that the FAA be contacted requesting their directive on the extent and/or need of removal prior to the airport doing so.

3.4 Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) Analysis The intent in providing a TERPS analysis is to identify those obstacles that penetrate the Final Segment of the OEA/OCS, i.e. “W”, “X”, and “Y” Obstacle Clearance Surfaces, as identified in United States Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS), ORDER 8260.3B CHG 26, Chapter 3, Section 3. The surfaces, as modeled, identify the presence of three (3) tree canopy areas located within the “W” Obstacle Clearance Surface, as shown in Plan view on drawing CG106. The obstacle clearance surface data table, also shown on the drawing, identifies the locations of three areas, the extent of penetration into the “W” surface, the associated acreage of each, and lisis the recommended mitigation action as “Wetland Clearing”. These areas are also Title 14 CFR Part 77 obstructions and are included in the recommended mitigation actions for that surface. These three areas are listed as being located on-airport, allowing the Sponsor the right to remove these obstructions without further delay .

3.5 Medium Intensity Approach Light System w/Rails (MALSR) Analysis The intent in providing a MALSR analysis is to identify those obstacles that penetrate the Final Segment of the OEA/OCS, i.e. “W”, “X”, and “Y” Obstacle Clearance Surfaces, as identified in United States Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS), ORDER 8260.3B CHG 26, Chapter 3, Section 3. The surfaces, as modeled, identify the presence of three (3) tree canopy areas

3.6 Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) Analysis PAPI Obstacle Clearance Surface The results of the analysis revealed that no obstructions to the PAPI obstacle clearance surface for runways 16, 24, or 34 exist. Although the PAPI units for each of the three runways are considered obstructions to their associated Primary Surface, they are considered a “fixed-by-function navigational aid”, requiring no action be taken.

3.7 Runway Protection Zone Analysis Runway 6 End: The airport controls a large portion of the land in the Runway Protection Zones off Runways 6, however not all of the land. Approximately 13.4 acres of the 78.9 acre Approach Runway Protection Zone is privately owned. The privately owned portion consists of portions of eleven private properties, a portion of Lands of State of New Jersey Department of Human Services, and two public highways containing utilities. There are six residential dwellings within the RPZ. A Runway Protection Zone Data Table, shown on sheet CG105, indicates this reports recommended action for each of the affected properties. The recommend actions range from the portion of the parcel within the RPZ being insignificant, therefore “no action”, to acquiring an avigation easement with ‘right of first refusal’, should the present property owner have intensions of selling the property in the future, or acquiring the property in FEE and relocating the present owner (if the owner is amicable to doing that). With submittal of this report to the FAA-Harrisburg ADO, the owner is anticipating that detailed guidance and direction will be provided to them concerning existing land uses within the Runway 6 RPZ. Runway 24 End: The airport currently owns the entire 29.5 acre Approach Runway Protection Zone, with the exception of Scotch Road, which is located diagonally through the central portion of the RPZ, at a distance of 300 to 500 feet from the end of runway. In addition, a railroad (Consolidated Rail Corp.) is also located diagonally through the central portion of the RPZ at a distance of 1,300 feet to 1,900 feet from the end of runway. A Runway Protection Zone Data

Trenton Mercer Airport

3-13

Table, shown on sheet CG111, indicates this reports recommended action for each of these existing land uses as “Mark & Light”. Detailed guidance and direction from the FAA-Harrisburg ADO, is anticipated concerning these two existing land uses within the central portion of the Runway 24 RPZ. Runway 16 End: The airport currently owns the entire 29.5 acre Approach Runway Protection Zone, with the exception of Sam Weinroth Road, which is located directly beyond the EMAS system recently constructed at this runway end. In addition, the divided highway designated as Interstate 95 is located diagonally through the central portion of the RPZ at a distance of approximately 500 feet from the end of the EMAS. The Central Portion of the RPZ extends onto airport property, presently used for recreational purposes as Mountain View Golf & Country Club. A Runway Protection Zone Data Table, shown on sheet CG115, indicates this reports recommended action for each of these existing land uses as “Mark & Light”. Detailed guidance and direction from the FAA-Harrisburg ADO, is anticipated concerning these existing land uses within the central portion of the Runway 16 RPZ. Runway 34 End: The Exhibit “A” Airport Property Inventory Map indicates that approximately 34% of the 29.5 acre RPZ is on airport lands. The Mercer County tax mapping lists this 34% area as County of Mercer County Library, with present land usage being for School Recreational – Athletic Fields. The aerial photography on sheet CG118 shows markings of athletic fields in this area. The privately owned portion of the RPZ (19.4 acres) consists of 1) First Presbyterian Church Ewing - Ewing Cemetery & Crematory, and 2) Consolidated Rail Corp. The Cemetery lands extend into the Central Portion of the RPZ consisting of paved roadways leading to areas of anticipated future expansion. In addition, field observation noted above ground construction of a new mausoleum extending into the Controlled Activity portion of the RPZ. The Conrail parcel extends diagonally through the Central Portion of the RPZ at a distance of 200 feet to 600 feet from the runway end. A Runway Protection Zone Data Table, shown on sheet CG118, lists the recommended action for each of these existing land uses as 1) obtain avigation easements over the cemetery lands, and 2) “Mark & Light” the railroad. Detailed guidance and direction from the FAA-Harrisburg ADO, is anticipated concerning these two existing land uses within the central portion of the Runway 24 RPZ.

3.8 Opinion of Probable Cost & Project Phasing (Title 14 CFR Part 77 Compliance) An opinion of probable cost was prepared for the acquisition of property interests in the form of avigation easements, obstruction removal, or lighting of obstructions associated with the evaluation of Title 14 CFR Part 77 surfaces. Tables 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 provide a summary of the results. The unit costs were based on bid prices of similar work at other airport facilities. Recommended actions to cut and remove trees would include various options, which would be discussed and negotiated with the property owner. Tree removal options could consist of the following:

-Cutting and removing the trees to ground level but not grinding the stumps (Environmental Wetland areas);

-Cutting and removing the trees to ground level, grinding the stumps, and if requested, replanting with a low growing species;

-Installation of obstruction lights and obstruction light towers;

-Cutting and removing only that portion of the tree that penetrates the Title 14 CRF Part 77 surface (Crown Reduction). A routine trimming program by the airport would be required for this option as re-growth occurred.

In general, natural vegetation identified as being a penetration or being within 12.5 feet of penetrating the various 14 CFR Part 77 Navigable Airspace surfaces have been recommended for removal to ground. Small tree canopy areas in residential wooded areas or individual trees in residential areas, where the majority of the canopy height penetrates the ‘Buffer Airspace’ by approximately 6 to 8 feet were considered for ‘crown reduction’, rather than complete removal to ground level. Random or isolated penetrating natural vegetation within residential areas is recommended for ‘crown reduction’, commonly due to property owner resistance to total tree removal if reducing the height of the tree canopy of the offending tree is at all possible. Obviously, fixed features where the airport owner will not have rights to remove, or where removal would be cost prohibitive, are recommended to be lighted & marked per the appropriate FAA Design Advisory Circular. Due to the cost involved with acquisition of property interests and obstruction removal, it is recommended that the project be prioritized into three phases. Costs were developed for each runway providing opinion of costs to acquire property interests via acquisition of avigation easements, and for obstruction removal, both on and off airport, to assist in determining the phasing. The following provides a summary of the results:

Trenton Mercer Airport

3-13

PHASE I: $3,400,000

Removal/Treatment of all On-Airport Obstructions to the primary, transitional to primary, approach, and transitional to approach surfaces for Runways 6/24 and 16/34: $961,000 (constr.cost);

Acquisition of Avigation Easements for Runway 6/24 primary and transitional surfaces: $75,000 (esm’t cost);

Acquisition of Land/Avigation Easements for Runway 6 (Includes obtaining Right of First Refusal and/or fee acquisition for six residential properties within the Rwy 6 RPZ): $1.5M (esm’t cost)

Acquisition of Avigation Easements for Runway 24: $429,000 (esm’t cost); Obtain On- Airport Environmental Coordination permitting and mitigation for both design

and for construction; $435,000

PHASE II: $2,763,000 Removal of Off-Airport Obstructions to Runway 6/24 primary and transitional surfaces:

$702,000 (constr. cost); Removal of Off-Airport Obstructions to Runway 6 approach and transitional surfaces:

$725,000 (constr. cost); Removal of Off-Airport Obstructions to Runway 24 approach and transitional surfaces:

$172,000 (constr. cost); Acquisition of Avigation Easements for Runway 16/34: $15,000

Acquisition of Avigation Easements for Runway 16: $0 Acquisition of Avigation Easements for Runway 34: $149,000 Obtain Off-Airport Environmental Coordination permitting and mitigation for both design

and for construction $1.0M

PHASE III: $221,000 Removal of Off-Airport Obstructions to Runway 16/34 transitional surfaces:

$24,000 (constr. cost); Removal of Off-Airport Obstructions to Runway 34 approach and transitional to approach

surfaces: $197,000 (constr. cost); It is worth noting that some avigation easement acquisition costs may be reduced or eliminated, depending on the nature of the obstruction treatment actually performed. The above easement acquisition costs represent a worse-case scenario based on the obstruction treatment recommendations outlined in this report developed from information currently available. Alternative treatments may be developed information obtained from ground survey.

3.9 Conclusions/Recommendations This chapter has summarized the obstructions to the Title 14 CFR Part 77 Surfaces, Approach and Departure Runway Protection Zones, Runway End Siting Surfaces and PAPI Obstacle Clearance Surfaces as identified on the accompanying set of drawings. Recommendations were made for addressing each of the obstructions, as shown on the Data Table sheets within the set of drawings. An opinion of probable cost has also been presented. The quantities used to calculate project costs were determined from the Obstruction Evaluation Drawings. Unit costs were developed from past bid experience of similar projects at other New York State airports. All costs provided are Engineer’s opinions of probable construction cost and are based upon 2014 dollars. Construction Administration & Observation costs are anticipated to be within the allowed percentage of the total Construction costs. Engineering Design costs have not been included, since project scope of work cannot be determined at this juncture. In conclusion, the airport owner should consider addressing the runway end siting obstructions at the earliest opportunity, to protect the existing location of the thresholds. Removal of “highest priority” obstructions should also be accomplished at the airport owner’s first opportunity. Highest priority obstructions are considered to be located within the primary and the “close-in” approach surfaces. Previous communications with FAA in similar circumstances have revealed the FAA’s willingness to provide airport owners with grant assistance for these types of obstruction mitigation

projects, possibility resulting in improved approach visibility minimums for that runway end. In the long term, airport compliance to 14 CFR Part 77 obstruction mitigation will enhance the operational effectiveness of the facility and improve safety. FAA eligible projects to mitigate obstructions should be added to the Airport’s Capital Improvement Program. Recommended next steps may include the following:

1) Perform an Environmental Assessment 2) Acquisition of Land and/or Avigation Easements 3) Obstruction Mitigation (Design) 4) Obstruction Mitigation (Construction)
