Airport will receive $2.3 million in upgrades over the next year due to the efforts of Josephine County Airports Manager Larry Graves. One grant for $137,900 for emergency power generators has been confirmed by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The grant is through the ConnectOregon program and will be split between the I.V. and Grants Pass airports. The desired backup power system would be a 50-60 KW diesel generator. Phase 1 of the capital improvement project for I.V. Airport is the engineering design for runway lighting and electrical upgrades, as well as a complete redesign for the parking ramps. A $400,000 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant has been received for Phase 1. Corley McFarland, president of Precision Approach Engineering, gave a presentation at last month’s I.V. Airport Advisory Board, which included discussion of the layout for the ramps. Phase 2 will require an additional $1.6 million grant for the actual construction of the medium intensity runway light (MIRL) System and the rehabilitation of the runway and parking aprons in fiscal 2017. Due to the long lead time required to apply for and receive grants from the federal and state governments, including the need to apply more than once if a project doesn’t make the cut, Graves’ planning process must extend four to five years into the future. Graves stated that both state and federal funding are contingent on 10 to 30 percent matching funds generated by airport operations, including hangar rental fees, fuel sales and special use fees from the USFS and ODF helicopter bases during wildfire events. “The Airports Department is run on an Enterprise Fund basis, meaning that I’m attempting to run the airports at least on a break-even basis, if not at a profit, with the goal of not being a burden to the County General Fund (tax- payers),” Graves wrote. “If the airports don’t earn any revenues, then they can’t pay for any of their costs, and they eventually disappear, or become a burden to the taxpayers.” In addition to the grants for the I.V. Airport, additional grants have been awarded for the Grants Pass Airport, including a recently completed environmental study and design project for a new hangar area, achieved through a $300,000 Airport Improvement Program (AIP) FAA grant. AIP grants are awarded for the planning and development of public use airports that are included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). An additional $1 million AIP/FAA funded project is currently in progress at the Grants Pass airport to prepare the ground for the new hangar area which will open Flaming Road to commercial development. This project will include hangar pads, taxi lanes, a security gate and vehicle parking. State funding of $300,000 has been awarded for a separate environmental study and design project for an additional 2,000 foot taxiway in Grants Pass. Graves has submitted an FAA grant proposal to build the taxiway, which might cost as much as $2 million. The state has also funded a $204,000 Airport Weather Observation System (AWOS) which is currently being installed at Grants Pass. Graves said, “This was a grant from the ConnectOregon-V program, a state transportation initiative that funds capital improvements for multiple transportation modes. We received this grant in September 2014 and used the funds to purchase and install a new AWOS. This system is vitally important to the ability of pilots to operate into and out the airport during periods of bad weather. It is also a requirement for a better instrument approach at the Grants Pass Airport, which we desperately needed.” Graves hopes to eventually acquire an additional $10 million in federal funds to extend the Grants Pass runway from its current 4,000 feet to 6,000 feet. This will accommodate small jets. 541-592-6220 541-592-4146 Volleyball Tue. Aug. 30 Dayton L 0-3 Thur. Sept. 1 Del Norte L 1-3 Tue. Sept. 6 Harrisburg L 0-3 Thur. Sept. 8 Del Norte L 0-3 Sat.

(AP) — Scientists say two moderate earthquakes occurred off the Oregon and California coasts late Saturday and early Sunday but neither triggered a tsunami warning. The U.S. Geological Survey says a 5.0 earthquake occurred in the Pacific Ocean about 93 miles southwest of Gold Beach, Oregon, at about 10 p.m. Saturday. Scientists say a 4.6 magnitude quake in the ocean about 97 miles west of Brookings, Oregon, followed at about 3 a.m. Sunday. Neither quake prompted a warning from the National Tsunami Warning Center.
