6. Climate Risk Detailed Report
6.1. Climate Risk Summary
Cal-Adapt midcentury 2040–2059 average projections for four hazards are reported below for your project location. These are under Representation Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 which assumes GHG emissions will continue to rise strongly through 2050 and then plateau around 2100.
Climate Hazard Result for Project Location Unit
Temperature and Extreme Heat 31.1 annual days of extreme heat Extreme Precipitation 9.05 annual days with precipitation above 20 mm Sea Level Rise — meters of inundation depth
Wildfire 6.63 annual hectares burned
Temperature and Extreme Heat data are for grid cell in which your project are located. The projection is based on the 98th historical percentile of daily maximum/minimum temperatures from observed historical data (32 climate model ensemble from Cal-Adapt, 2040–2059 average under RCP 8.5). Each grid cell is 6 kilometers (km) by 6 km, or 3.7 miles (mi) by 3.7 mi.
Extreme Precipitation data are for the grid cell in which your project are located. The threshold of 20 mm is equivalent to about ¾ an inch of rain, which would be light to moderate rainfall if received over a full day or heavy rain if received over a period of 2 to 4 hours. Each grid cell is 6 kilometers (km) by 6 km, or 3.7 miles (mi) by 3.7 mi.
Sea Level Rise data are for the grid cell in which your project are located. The projections are from Radke et al. (2017), as reported in Cal-Adapt (Radke et al., 2017, CEC-500-2017-008), and consider inundation location and depth for the San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and California coast resulting different increments of sea level rise coupled with extreme storm events. Users may select from four scenarios to view the range in potential inundation depth for the grid cell. The four scenarios are: No rise, 0.5 meter, 1.0 meter, 1.41 meters Wildfire data are for the grid cell in which your project are located. The projections are from UC Davis, as reported in Cal-Adapt (2040–2059 average under RCP 8.5), and consider historical data of climate, vegetation, population density, and large (> 400 ha) fire history. Users may select from four model simulations to view the range in potential wildfire probabilities for the grid cell. The four simulations make different assumptions about expected rainfall and temperature are: Warmer/drier (HadGEM2-ES), Cooler/wetter (CNRM-CM5), Average conditions (CanESM2), Range of different rainfall and temperature possibilities (MIROC5). Each grid cell is 6 kilometers (km) by 6 km, or 3.7 miles (mi) by 3.7 mi.

The sensitivity score reflects the extent to which a project would be adversely affected by exposure to a climate hazard. Exposure is rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with a score of 5 representing the greatest exposure.
The adaptive capacity of a project refers to its ability to manage and reduce vulnerabilities from projected climate hazards. Adaptive capacity is rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with a score of 5 representing the greatest ability to adapt.
The overall vulnerability scores are calculated based on the potential impacts and adaptive capacity assessments for each hazard. Scores do not include implementation of climate risk reduction measures.

Project Code: 2025-0104447
Project Name: Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through IPaC by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological 294
Project code: 2025-0104447 06/02/2025 23:07:40 UTC

▪
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/documents/ endangered-species-consultation-handbook.pdf
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project-related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts, see Migratory Bird Permit | What We Do | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (fws.gov).
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project-related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures, see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservationmigratory-birds.
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Project Code: 2025-0104447
Project Name: Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan
Project Type: Airport - Maintenance/Modification
Project Description: The proposed Airport Master Plan update is a long-range plan for airport development that is intended to meet identified facility requirements and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standards. As the owner and operator of Lake Tahoe Airport, the City of South Lake Tahoe is the lead agency responsible for CEQA compliance. The proposed update to Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan (proposed project) comprises a longrange plan for Airport development that includes both airside and landside improvements. Airside improvements would take place within aircraft movement areas that include the runway and taxiway system and the FAA-defined protected areas that encompass them. Landside improvements would take place outside of the main aircraft movement area and include facilities that are used for aircraft storage, aircraft parking, terminal facilities, automobile parking, and airport access.

1. ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES
There is a total of 8 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because a project could affect downstream species. Note that 1 of these species should be considered only under certain conditions.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office if you have questions.
NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce.

Runway
Runway 18-36 is 8,541 feet long and 100 feet wide. It is a paved asphalt runway with a northeast/southwest orientation. The Runway is served by two non-precision instrument approach procedures, a full-length parallel taxiway, and other connecting taxiways that provide aircraft access to the various ramp areas and other facilities on the airport.
Taxiways
Taxiways are paved areas over which airplanes move from one part of the airfield to another with their primary use being providing access between the terminal/hangar facilities and the runways. Since the airport has a single runway, the taxiway system is relatively simple and provides access from the runway to the parallel taxiway (Taxiway A), and on to the apron. The airport has two high-speed exit taxiways at each end of the runway that are intended to allow aircraft to quickly exit the runway following landing. A connector taxiway is located at the mid-point of the runway to connect Taxiway A to the apron near the former terminal building. A taxilane is also used to access hangars near the south end of the apron.
Aprons
An aircraft apron is used for aircraft movement and positioning, aircraft storage and tiedowns, aircraft fueling, and vehicle movement and parking. The complete apron area at the airport consists of over 700,000 square feet of pavement, which is divided into areas for staging transient aircraft and for use by the airport’s FBO.1 The apron is located between the runway/taxiway, the terminal, and north and south hangars.
Terminal Building
The 1970 terminal building is a rectangular plan, two-and three-story A-frame style, wood framed commercial building located at the western edge of the airport apron (Figure 1). It contains nearly 30,000 square feet of office, restaurant, and administrative space. The building is clad in stucco with wood trim. The building is divided into three sections: a steeply pitched central triangular mass and two flanking rectangular masses. The building wings are covered with a flat roof that is hidden by shingle-covered, faux-mansard parapets that make the wings appear particularly heavy and short. Additionally, the building is sited at the edge of a graded slope with the first floor at the same level as the runway while the main entry is on the second floor, at grade with the access road.
The primary (west) façade has a central two-story triangular mass that was originally glazed but the windows have been filled in. Plate glass storefront windows line the north and south wing façades. Some of the former windows have been replaced with stucco panels. The secondary (east) façade fronts the runway. This side of the building sits on a lower grade than the front and has the central triangular mass flanked by two-story wings. Nearly all the glazing remains on this façade, giving the building an open and expansive view of the runway and surrounding mountains. The north and south facades are two stories tall with multiple groupings of an aluminum frame sliding window over a solid inset panel and under a fixed glazed transom.
The City of South Lake Tahoe serves as the terminal building’s primary tenant. City Hall, as well as administrative offices, are all located in the Airport terminal building.
FBO Building
The ca 1973 FBO building is a one-story, wood frame, rectangular plan building located north of the terminal building on the west side of the apron (Figure 2). It is approximately 3,200 square feet in size, is clad in a mix of pressed brick veneer and stucco, and is capped by a shingle-covered, faux mansard parapet masking a flat roof. The primary (east) façade fronts the apron. There are two double-leaf, glazed pedestrian doors on the south end of the building. Fenestration includes tripartite sliding and fixed aluminum frame windows and two-lite sliding aluminum frame windows. A chimney is visible at the south end of the building. The northern end of the building is clad in stucco and features two roll-up vehicular doors and a single two-light sliding window. A wood sign board capped by a gable roof and featuring a “Mountain West” banner is located between the two pedestrian entrances at the south end of the building. The south façade is devoid of fenestration but has a central brick-veneer clad chimney and water table with horizontal wood lap siding.
Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT)
The air traffic control tower (ATCT) was constructed in 1964. It is an irregular plan, steel-frame tower composed of a tall base topped by a glazed, upside down pyramidal shaped observation room (Figure 3). The whole structure is set on a concrete pad foundation. The base of the tower structure is clad in corrugated metal siding and is devoid of fenestration. The base is caped by a roughly pentagonal platform surrounded by a metal railing. In the center of this platform is the observational suite. This square-shaped mass has battered glazed walls that cantilever outward and are topped with a flat roof deck from which multiple antennae project upward. This roof deck is also surrounded by a metal railing.
Adjacent to the 1964 tower is a one-story, rectangular plan building with a flat roof. This building houses electrical equipment. 307

Also adjacent to the ACTC is a second, taller, open metal frame tower. The top of this tower holds newer radar and communications antennae. The metal tower is fully surrounded by chain-link security fencing.
North Hangars
There are three hangars at the north end of the apron that vary in age but are roughly similar in construction (Figure 4). All three are rectangular plan, steel frame buildings with front-facing gable roofs that are set on concrete pad foundations. Hangar 1 is southernmost and oldest, constructed ca.1963. It is clad in corrugated metal siding and features two sets of telescoping doors that enclose the east façade. Hangar 2 is the central and newest hangar of the group, constructed sometime between 2007 and 2012. It is also the largest. This hangar is also clad in metal siding, has a shallow pitch front gable roof, and features a single telescoping door to enclose the east façade. Hangar 3 is the northernmost and smallest of the three hangars. It was constructed ca.1973. It is clad in both vertical and horizontal corrugated metal siding and appears to have a rollup door enclosing its east façade. Hangar 3 is also marked as “South Lake Tahoe Fire Station No. 4.” South Hangars
The south hangars were constructed in 1993. This grouping of six, rectangular plan, steel-frame, shed roof buildings are nearly identical (Figure 5). Four of the six measure approximately 230 x 55 feet, have low-slope shed roofs and are clad in standingseam metal siding. Each of the end buildings is slightly narrower, measuring approximately 230 x 43 feet. The southernmost building has one bay that is square in plan, creating an irregular floorplan. While all the hangars are devoid of fenestration, each building has six pedestrian doors on their south or north facades. Each door provides access to one of the six interior hangar spaces. The south façade is composed entirely of bi-fold garage doors that operate with a central, horizontal pivot, essentially folding the wall outward then upward to allow planes to enter and exit the space.
Maintenance Building
The ca 1973 maintenance building is a one-story, rectangular plan, steel-frame building clad in metal siding (Figure 6). It is capped by a shed roof with deep eaves and a faux-mansard frieze on the primary (east) façade. The primary façade features five bays, each with a glazed roll-up vehicular door. The rear (west) façade is clad in stone veneer that also wraps partially around to the north and south facades.
Helicopter Operator
The helicopter operator, Calstar, occupies a rectangular plan, side gable roofed modular building located south of the maintenance building. The primary (east) façade has a slightly off-set pedestrian entrance set beneath a diminutive gable roof feature (Figure 7). To the south of the entrance are three sets of two-lite, vinyl frame sliding windows. A fourth, two-lite vinyl frame sliding window is located north of the entrance. These same windows are found on all three other facades of the building

The Lake Tahoe Airport is located in the City of South Lake Tahoe. The earliest portions of the airport were constructed in 1959, partially in preparation for the 1960 Winter Olympic Games. The following presents a brief historical context regarding development of the region and the airport as well as sub-themes related to design and engineering to support the evaluation of significance.
Regional Development
Exploration and Access
The following general historical summary of the area is excerpted from the South Lake Tahoe General Plan:2 Euroamerican contact with Native American groups living in coastal areas and the Central Valley of California began during the last half of the 18th century. The Spanish period in California lasted from about 1769 to 1821. This was a time when the Spanish missions dominated lives of both the Spanish and the Native Americans in those areas in California. However, the effect of the Spanish on the Washoe has not been documented. The Mexican Period (ca. 1821–1848) in California is an outgrowth of the Mexican Revolution, and its accompanying social and political views affected the mission system. Spanish exploration of the Central Valley did not begin until the late 1700s, and the eastern edges of the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada were not explored until the early 1800s. In 1808 Gabriel Moraga explored the Mokelumne, Cosumnes, and American rivers, passing near modern-day Folsom. Subsequent exploration of the general area is credited to mountain men such as Jedediah Smith, who crossed the Sierra Nevada into California in 1826. Smith traveled along the American, Sacramento, and Cosumnes rivers and also probably passed through current Pleasant Valley. Other explorers such as Ewing Young, Joseph Walker, John Fremont, and Christopher “Kit” Carson soon followed Smith. In 1844, Fremont crossed the Sierra Nevada near Lake Tahoe and descended the west slope in proximity to the American River, which he eventually followed to Sutter’s Fort. Many of the trails used by these early explorers and subsequent immigrants were not newly discovered routes, but rather Native American trails that were already in use.
Early explorations of the Sierra Nevada and its flanks were soon followed by groups of immigrants moving west. The first of these immigrant groups was the Bartleson-Bidwell party that crossed the Sierra Nevada in 1841 and followed the Stanislaus River into the Central Valley. The Joseph Chiles and Joseph Walker parties followed the crossing of the Sierra Nevada by the Bartleson-Bidwell party in 1843. Chiles crossed the Sierra Nevada following the Malheur and Pit rivers into the Central Valley and then traveled south along the Sacramento River. Walker, however, traveled south along the eastern front of the Sierra Nevada to Walker Lake where he crossed into Owens Valley and eventually the Central Valley using what is now known as Walker’s Pass. Subsequently, in 1844 the Stevens-Murphy party crossed the Sierra Nevada and probably is the first immigrant group to enter California via the Truckee and Bear rivers. Subsequently, the Gold Rush in 310

1849 dramatically increased the numbers of immigrants passing through the Lake Tahoe Basin to reach the gold fields in California.
At the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, there was a growing demand for roads that linked local communities and also California and Nevada. Initial road construction generally followed immigrant trails and other routes used by overland stage traffic and the Pony Express. One such road connecting Placerville and Nevada was constructed near the location of South Lake Tahoe. This road eventually became Placerville Road. The passage of the State Highways Act in 1909 authorized the creation of a highway network within states and linking adjoining states. The Placerville Road was incorporated into the developing highway system. Subsequently in 1913, the Placerville Road was incorporated into the intercontinental Lincoln Highway system. The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1925 created our current system of numbered interstate highways and the Lincoln Highway became US Highway 50. The City of South Lake Tahoe was incorporated in 1965 by combining the previously unincorporated communities of Al Tahoe, Bijou, Bijou Park, Stateline, Tahoe Valley, and Tallac Village.
Early Recreation
The majority of land within the Lake Tahoe Basin (upwards of 70%) is owned or managed by federal or state governments.3 These lands are part of the U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service) or are units of the California or Nevada State Parks systems.
This large proportion of public land ownership is the result of more than a century of active land acquisition and conservation efforts that began at the close of the 19th century as a response to clear-cutting and other destructive logging practices of the times.4 The Forest Service established its first ranger station in the Lake Tahoe basin in 1911. The first state park (no longer extant) in the area was opened in 1927 near Tahoe City, followed the next year by D. L Bliss State Park further south.5 At the same time, winter recreation areas began to open near Lake Tahoe. In 1910 a wooden ski jump, presumably the first in the United States, and toboggan lift was installed near Truckee. It was called “Winter Sports Hill” and eventually “Hilltop.”6 The winter carnival and sports exhibitions near Truckee drew people from all over the California and Nevada areas through the 1920s. A second ski jump was built near Tahoe City in 1928. It was called “Tahoe Tavern.” Soon thereafter, enthusiasts constructed an “Olympic-caliber hill” just a mile away from the Tahoe Tavern. This new ski hill hosted the 1932 Winter Olympic tryouts.7 By the 1930s, rope tows made accessing the tops of ski slopes much easier.8 The first in the basin were installed at what is now the Sugar Bowl Resort when it opened in 1939.9 Immediately after the war, a series of ski resorts opened all along the basin’s western half: Sierra-at-Tahoe (1946), Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley, 1949), Heavenly (1955), plus many smaller resorts. When Palisades Tahoe won the bid to host the 1960s winter Olympics Games, the Lake Tahoe Basin’s reputation as a world-class recreation center was solidified. 1960 Winter Olympic Games
When Palisades Tahoe was chosen as the site for the 1960 winter Olympics, the area lacked major infrastructure to support such a large event. While the original ski resort opened in 1949, it did not yet have sufficient facilities to host an Olympic Games.10 To prepare, the Squaw Valley Development Corporation had to construct roads, bridges, administrative buildings, hotels, restaurants, not to mention lifts, ski runs, and facilities needed to actually host the events.11 This preparation involved numerous agencies and private entities and included completion of Highway 80 which was still under construction when the successful bid was announced.
These Olympic Games were the first to be televised and the first to use instant replay. They also introduced the world to Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the history of the area. Following the games, the region experienced a 30-year period of sustained growth and development, primarily as a recreational and tourist destination.12 More importantly, it transformed the area from a summer designation to a year-round destination. Construction boomed for decades but often with little oversite.
“Placer County, however, was unprepared to deal with the period of rapid growth that followed the 1960 Olympics.
Large projects like high-rise casinos and the Tahoe Keys, which was built on the biggest filtration meadow in the basin, went in without any environmental analysis. In the 45 years since the Winter Games, the number of homes in the basin has increased five-fold, from around 7,000 in 1960 to 35,500 in 2000, according to Antonucci and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. The lakewide population has had even a bigger jump, growing from around 3,000 to 63,000 during the same period of time.”
13 One of the answers was creation of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), a bi-state agency authorized by Congress to manage growth and development in the watershed.14

Lake Tahoe Airport Development
El Dorado County purchased the first tracts of land for the airport in 1957 from the Kyburz family who used the land for cattle and sheep ranching.15 The early surveys were conducted in 1957 and identified a floodplain around the Upper Truckee River located just two miles from the south shore of Lake Tahoe. Planning efforts were catalyzed after the area was awarded the 1960 Winter Olympic games. This included selection of Charles Luckman Associates to prepare a Master Plan to guide airport development.16 However, runway construction began concurrently with planning efforts. When the Tahoe Valley Airport opened on August 1, 1959,17 it opened with no master plan document. Indeed, reports from the September 1959 dedication note that “Luckman had been operating under quite a handicap in trying to plan an airport which was already under construction.18 That construction was facilitated with assistance from the Federal Aid to Airports Program and resulted in a 5,900-foot-long, 100-foot wide runway.19 In spite of the airport having no night lighting, no air traffic control tower, and no hangars, the plan was for it to sustain 24-hour operation in time for the Olympics in February 1960.20 Indeed, the airport recorded 1,170 flights in November 1959, justifying the need for an airfield to serve the area.21 From the beginning, El Dorado County, who operated the airport, sought support from local businesses (casinos) and the federal government to expand airport facilities.22 The process was often slow and piecemeal, proceeding through perpetual master planning efforts. Throughout the 1960s local newspapers discussed the need for an updated master plan, for creation of a new master plan, contracts for master plans, and overall construction of permanent facilities.23 Still, the early years were primarily guided by the Luckman master plan which included recommendations for development of permanent commercial and terminal facilities on the east side of the runway.24 This was never realized and through 2025, no construction beyond necessary security fencing and navigation aids have been placed east of the runway.
By 1960, the airport was serviced by a temporary terminal (at the site of the present terminal) and a permanent, rectangular hangar at the north end of the runway, near the present-day north hangars.25 The temporary terminal was long, and narrow, measuring 120-feet by 20-feet and consisted of prefabricated structures moved to the site (Figure 8).26,27 In 1962, the runway was extended to 8,540 feet and a fire and rescue building was constructed at the end of the runway.28 Shortly thereafter, a larger hangar was added to the north end of the runway (extant).29,30 With a longer runway, the airport could handle more and larger planes. This brought new urgency to the need for a permanent air traffic control tower. In 1964, the airport recorded more than the minimum 24,000 flights per year required to qualify for Federal Aviation Administration-supported (FAA) air traffic control.31 By the fall, the airport was awarded funding from the FAA to both construct and staff a control tower, located on the west side of the runway.32,33 With a proper tower and a longer runway in place, calls for construction of a proper, permanent terminal were renewed. By January 1965, designs for a terminal building were being presented to the public but no further action was taken.34 The delay in approval of a terminal seems to stem from issues around financing construction.35,36 From the beginning, development and construction of the airport was undertaken through grants or money generated by the airport. El Dorado County did not dedicate substantial tax dollars toward its operation or development. When the City of South Lake Tahoe incorporated in 1965, the County immediately began discussions with the City to take over the airport.37 Discussions over ownership and operation of the airport included conversations regarding the updates already needed to the six-year old facility: a permanent terminal and widening of the runway.38 In 1967, the airport master plan was revised to include updated facility requirements for a new terminal as well as recommendations to expand the runways to handle 727 jets.39 This master plan was prepared by engineer Reinhard Brandley of Sacramento.40 Meanwhile, talks between the County and the City continued and the County secured $1.1 million to fund these needed improvements through assistance by the State of California as well as with donations from local casinos.41 With a plan for funding for a runway expansion, the terminal project became the prime focus.
The County decided to finance the terminal through a lease-back program whereby a developer would pay for the construction and the Couty would lease the terminal over a set period of time. It was presumed that rental income from commercial spaces in the terminal would cover the lease payments, thus negating the requirement for tax-payer funding. Various bids for the terminal were submitted. In 1968, 19 proposals were submitted with International Aviation Facilities, Inc. (IAF) provided the preferred proposal.42 Shortly after, a rendering of an A-frame design was proposed.43 312

The runway expansion was dedicated in October 1968, but only a few months after announcing the winning proposal from IAF, progress on the terminal design was stymied. At the time, the issue was reported to be “trouble coming up with an architectural design acceptable to local agencies who want it to be compatible with the Tahoe Area.”44 At the same time, other reports noted that the County wanted to formalize a handoff to the City prior to undertaking the terminal project.45 This second justification for delay seems to be the more accurate, as shortly thereafter in June 1969,46 plans were drawn up for the current terminal showing a design that was remarkably similar to the rendering published in August 1968.47 Construction on the terminal began in early 1970 after removal of the temporary terminal building. It was constructed by Gil Construction of Pacheco48 at a cost of approximately $800,000, with structural engineering design by AV Colosi and Associates of Oakland.49 After years of waiting for a permanent terminal, the final completion and dedication of the building was further delayed as disputes over the funding and financing model for terminal construction festered between county supervisors.50 Regardless, the terminal finally opened to the public in July 1970.51 When the terminal opened in 1970, the airport facilities consisted of the terminal building at the half-way point of the runway, a grouping of three hangars at the north end of the runway (a roughly square hangar, a short and wide rectangular hangar, and a long, narrow rectangular hangar), and an air traffic control tower located between the terminal and the hangars.52 By 1973, there was also a small maintenance facility just south of the terminal (part of the current maintenance building) as well as the Fixed Base Operator building north of the terminal and another square-plan hangar at the north end of the runway (Figure 9). 313

Then, in 1982, the City assumed control of the airport and further expansion took place. By 1987, the parking lot was graded and paved and the maintenance building was expanded slightly to the west. After that the most substantial additions to the airport were construction of the south hangars in 1994.53,54 Other smaller modifications include installation of the helicopter operator’s building (between 1998 and 2004), removal of several hangars at the north end of the runway (between 2004 and 2007) and construction of a new hangar at the north end of the runway (between 2007 and 2012.)

Associated Design Professionals
Charles Luckman (1909-1999) and Charles Luckman Associates55 Charles Luckman Associates is credited with the first airport Master Plan in the early 1960s.
Charles Luckman was born in 1909 in Kansas City, Missouri. His early professional career began in Chicago when he accepted a job as a draftsman in an architect’s office. This inspired him to enroll in the architecture program at the University of Illinois in 1927. While there, he met his future business partner William Pereira.
Graduating from school in the early years of the Great Depression, Luckman put architecture aside in 1931 for a ready job at Colgate-Palmolive-Peet as a draftsman in their advertising department. He soon moved to sales, an area in which he excelled.
Propelled by strong results in soap sales at Colgate, he was hired by Pepsodent in 1935 where he made further professional gains settling a labor dispute with the National Association of Retail Druggists over pricing of Pepsodent toothpaste. By 1936, he was vice-president in charge of sales followed in 1941 with a promotion to executive vice-president. In 1943, at the age of 34, he was named president of the company.
When Lever Brothers acquired Pepsodent in 1944, Luckman became a vice-president at his new company. In 1946, he was named president of Lever Brothers’ (now Unilever) United States division. The next few years were a bit tumultuous as Unilever lost market dominance in key product areas to its rival Proctor and Gamble. By 1949 the company was losing money and in 1950, Luckman resigned.
It was then, at the age of 41, that Luckman returned to his first career in architecture. His first venture was joining former classmate William Pereira at his firm in Los Angeles. The Pereira & Luckman partnership was quite successful and resulted in a number of notable buildings including the Theme Building at Los Angeles International Airport. The partnership dissolved in 1958 and Luckman formed his own firm, Charles Luckman Associates (CLA). Within 10 years, CLA was one of the country’s five largest architecture firms. Their credits include Madison Square Gardens (New York City), the Prudential Center (Boston), NASA’s manned flight center (Houston), and the Forum (Los Angeles), among many others. 315

James Luckman, Charles’ second son, became president of CLA in 1968. That same year the firm merged with Ogden Corporation. It was a short-lived merger which was dissolved in 1973. When Charles Luckman retired in 1977, the firm was reorganized as the Luckman Partnership. This firm was led by James until his retirement in 1991.
Charles Luckman received many accolades throughout his professional architectural career, both for his designs and for his leadership within the field. He retired from CLA in 1977. Charles Luckman died in Los Angeles in 1999 at the age of 89.
Charles Luckman and CLA are considered masters of architectural design.
Reinhard W. Brandley (1923-2022), Engineer56
The 1967 airport master plan update is credited to engineer Reinhard W. Brandley.
Reinhard Brandley was born in Stirling, Alberta, Canada in 1923. In this small frontier town that was established by his grandfather in 1898, he grew up farming with his family. He left Stirling in 1941 to study Civil Engineering at the University of Alberta. After earning a Master’s degree he accepted a teaching fellowship at Harvard University. During his four years at Harvard, he earned a PhD in Civil Engineering, with a thesis focused on airfield pavement design and evaluation. It was during this course of study that he developed the Brandley Fatigue Analysis methodology for the evaluation and design of airfield pavements.
After Harvard, Brandley returned to Canada, assuming an Assistant Professorship at the University of Saskatchewan. This was a short-lived professional stint as he soon moved to Sacramento, California to join the O.J. Porter Company as Chief Engineer in charge of Geotechnical Engineering Design. He also ran their materials testing laboratory. In 1953, Brandley founded his own firm, Brandley Engineering.
Brandley’s professional career focused on airport design. His projects included many California, as well as in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Utah, Florida, Hawaii, and even Iran. Many of the designs and specifications that he developed were adopted by the FAA as design standards. His work in the region includes as a consulting engineer for the City of Sacramento,57 Bryant Field in Bridgeport58, Mammoth-Yosemite Airport,59 and Truckee Tahoe Airport.60 Reinhard Brandley died in Loomis, California in 2022. Reinhard Brandley is considered a master of engineering design.
Regulatory Framework
National Register of Historic Places
A property is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) if it meets the National Register listing criteria at 36 CFR 60.4, as stated below:
The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and that:
A) Are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history, or B) Are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past, or C) Embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction, or
D) Have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history In addition to qualifying for listing under at least one of the National Register criteria, a property must be shown to have sufficient historic integrity. The concept of integrity is essential to identifying the important physical characteristics of historic resources and in evaluating adverse changes to them. Integrity is defined as “the authenticity of an historic resource’s physical identity evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed during the resource’s period of significance.” The same seven variables or aspects that define integrity—location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association—are used to evaluate a resource’s eligibility for listing in the National Register. 316

California Register of Historical Resources
To be eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) a historical resource must be significant under one or more of the following criteria:
1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage;
2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or
4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important to prehistory or history.
Local Designation - TRPA
South Lake Tahoe does not have its own set of local designation criteria. Rather, the municipal code refers to the Tahoe Regional Planning Authority (TRPA) Code of Ordinances.
The TRPA has adopted criteria similar to those including in the National and California registers related to association with events, people, and design. Specifically, Chapter 67.6 of the TRPA Code of Ordinances states:
“Sites, objects, structures, districts or other resources, eligible for designation as resources of historical, cultural, archeological, paleontological, or architectural significance locally, regionally, state-wide or nationally, shall meet at least one of the criteria provided below.”
1. Resources Associated with Historically Significant Events and Sites Resources shall exemplify the broad cultural, political, economic, social, civic, or military history of the region, the states, or the nation, or be associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history, including regional history. Such resources shall meet one or more of the following criteria:
A. Association with an important community function in the past; B. Association with a memorable happening in the past; or C. Contain outstanding qualities reminiscent of an early stage of development in the region.
2. Resources Associated with Significant Persons
Resources that are associated with the lives of persons significant in history, including regional history, such as:
A. Buildings or structures associated with a locally, regionally, or nationally known person; B. Notable examples, or best surviving works, of a pioneer architect, designer, or master builder; or C. Structures associated with the life or work of significant persons.
3. Resources Embodying Distinctive Characteristics
Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction that possess high artistic values or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity but whose components may lack individual distinction. Works of a master builder, designer, or architect also are eligible. Resources may be classified as significant if they are a prototype of, or a representative example of, a period style, architectural movement, or method of construction unique in the region, the states, or the nation.
4. State and Federal Guidelines
Archeological or paleontological resources protected or eligible for protection under state or federal guidelines.
5. Prehistoric Sites
Sites where prehistoric archaeological or paleontological resources that may contribute to the basic understanding of early cultural or biological development in the region.
Significance Evaluation
The Lake Tahoe Airport is evaluated below for potential historical significance according to National Register Criteria A through D, California Register Criteria 1 through 4 and TRPA criteria 1-3 and 5. 317

CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial

Criteria A/1/1 – Events
The Lake Tahoe Airport was constructed only five months before the 1960 Winter Olympic Games. While not built to exclusively serve the games, the airport was an immediate success and remained open during the games to provide transportation. After the games it remained popular with small commercial and private aircraft, providing close access to the casinos just across the state line as well as the recreational venues in the southern Lake Tahoe basin. As a regional transportation hub, it serves a relatively small market of private and commuter planes, most of which use the airport between June and August each year. The airport provides convenience but does not appear to have influenced development of the South Lake Tahoe area or of the region more broadly, which has been more profoundly influenced by the growth in tourism than any other factor. Aside from the association of its initial construction with the 1960 Olympic Games, there do not appear to be any other notable or lasting associations between the airport and events important in local or regional history. As such, the Lake Tahoe Airport is recommended ineligible as a historic resource at any level for associations with important events or trends.
Criteria B/2/2 – People
Research did not uncover any particular persons who have made a notable contribution to local, regional, or national history.
There have been a number of airport managers, under both El Dorado County and then City of South Lake Tahoe operation, however none appear to have made significant contributions to history or to aviation in the area. For these reasons, the Lake Tahoe Airport is recommended ineligible as a historic resource at any level for associations with the productive life of historically important individuals.
Criteria C/3/3 – Design
The Lake Tahoe Airport does have associations with two notable design professionals. The original master plan for the airport is attributed to Charles Luckman Associates, a master architecture and design firm. This firm is mentioned in several newspaper accounts of the day as having been hired for the job and as making recommendations for airport development.
However, this first master planning effort was happening contemporaneously with the airport’s opening and initial period of operation. Therefore, the plan was not reflected when the runways were laid out in 1959, nor was it reflected during the 1960 Winter Olympic Games, two important milestones in the airport’s early existence. Indeed, no images or direct references to any specific buildings or implemented recommendations were noted in any of these newspaper accounts. No copy of the final master plan was on file at the airport. It is unclear what, if any, of Luckman’s master plan was ever implemented nor if any portions of that plan remain today.
In 1967, less than a decade after the airport opened, the master plan was updated to address needed improvements to accommodate new 727 jets. The master plan update also reinforced the need for a proper terminal to replace the prefabricated buildings that had been relocated to the site in the early 1960s to serve as terminal facilities. The Airport hired Reinhard Brandley, who had contributed to airport planning for many regional airports throughout the state. Little is known about this master plan effort or what Brandley produced under his contract. Because he was known for his innovative runway engineering solutions61 it is assumed that his major contributions to the airport’s development are associated with the runway specifically as opposed to any overarching, cohesive master plan. Indeed, since 1967, there have been several buildings constructed, including a terminal building, but none are attributed to Brandley and none share any design characteristics that would unite them as part of a specific vision or development plan.
As it appears today, the airport represents a series of buildings and structures that were built or assembled over the span of the last 60+ years. None share a particular architectural design language, nor do they appear to have any relation other than they all support various components of airport operation. Each is reflective of its period of construction or its function. In terms of a master plan, there does not appear to be a comprehensive design that has guided development of the airport. The involvement of several notable design professionals – Charles Luckman Associates and Reinhard Brandley – is interesting but the airport does not appear to reflect any lasting contribution of these professionals in its current appearance. The layout of the airport is logical, common, and reflective of the particular needs of the site and the facility. For these reasons, the Lake Tahoe Airport is recommended ineligible as a historic resource at any level for its design or for its association with master design professionals.
Criteria D/4/5 – Information Potential
While most often applied to archaeological districts and sites, Criterion D/4/5 can also apply to buildings, structures, and objects that contain important information. For these types of properties to be eligible, they themselves must be, or must have been, the principal source of the important information, and the information must be considered important.
The Lake Tahoe Airport does not appear to have the potential to yield significant information that would expand our current knowledge or theories of design, methods of construction, operation, or other information that is not already known about the period in which the complex was constructed, particular method of construction, or design. The property reflects common building practices and uses typical materials that would be expected for a mid-20th century airport. These methods and 318

materials follow convention and are well documented. Therefore, the Lake Tahoe Airport does not appear to possess individual significance under Criterion D/4/5.
Integrity
In addition to being eligible for listing under at least one of the National, California, or TRPA register criteria, a property must also retain sufficient integrity to convey its historical significance. There are seven aspects to consider when evaluating the integrity of a property: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. As discussed above, the Lake Tahoe Airport does not appear to possess significance under any criteria. Therefore, no assessment of integrity is required.
Summary
As a complex, the Lake Tahoe Airport is recommended ineligible for listing on the National Register, California Register, or as a local historic resource as defined by the TRPA local register. It does not qualify as a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA review.

Description: The Lake Tahoe Airport (airport) is a small publicly owned, general aviation airport catering to privately-owned aircraft in South Lake Tahoe. It is located at an elevation of 6,260 feet and sits on approximately 350 acres immediately adjacent to the Upper Truckee River, approximately 3 miles south of Lake Tahoe. The terminal building is a rectangular plan, two-and threestory A-frame style, wood framed commercial building located at the western edge of the airport apron (Figure 1). It contains nearly 30,000 square feet of office, restaurant, and administrative space. The building is clad in stucco with wood trim. The building is divided into three sections: a steeply pitched central triangular mass and two flanking rectangular masses. The building wings are covered with a flat roof that is hidden by shingle-covered, faux-mansard parapets that make the wings appear particularly heavy and short. Additionally, the building is sited at the edge of a graded slope with the first floor at the same level as the runway while the main entry is on the second floor, at grade with the access road. *P3b.

Figure 1. Primary (west) façade of the Terminal Building. (ESA, 2025) The primary (west) façade has a central two-story triangular mass that was originally glazed but the windows have been filled in (Figure 2). Plate glass storefront windows line west facades of the one-story north and south wings. Some of the former windows have been replaced with stucco panels. The secondary (east) façade fronts the runway (Figure 3). This side of the building sites on a lower grade than the front and has the central triangular mass flanked by two-story wings. This façade is composed primarily of glazed openings, including fixed windows and numerous glazed pedestrian doors to access the fullwidth balcony at the second floor. As such, the east façade provides open and expansive views of the runway and surrounding mountains. The north and south facades are two-stories tall with multiple groupings of an aluminum frame sliding window over a solid inset panel and under a fixed glazed transom. The City of South Lake Tahoe serves as the terminal building’s primary tenant. City Hall, as well as administrative offices, are all located in the Airport terminal building. 324

The interior of the building has been modified several times to convert it from an airport terminal, with ticket desks, airline offices, concessions, and a waiting room, to its current use as airport offices and South Lake Tahoe City Hall. Overall, the interior is arranged with City Hall in the southern wing of the building on both floors, concessions such as flight tours and a restaurant (currently closed) on the second floor of the north wing, and airport offices on the first floor of the north wing. The central, A-frame mass serves as a circulation corridor and connector (Figure 4). As one moves from the main entrance toward the rear (east) of the building, the central volume opens up to provide expansive views of the runway and mountains (Figures 5 and 6). Remaining original features include exposed beams, glazed peak, and exposed wood paneling on the ceiling (Figure 7).

The Lake Tahoe Airport is located in the City of South Lake Tahoe. The earliest portions of the airport were constructed in 1959, partially in preparation for the 1960 Winter Olympic Games. The terminal was constructed in 1970, in the aftermath of the Olympics and during a period of tremendous growth for the region. The following presents a brief historical context regarding development of the region and the airport as well as sub-themes related to design and engineering to support the evaluation of significance.
Regional Development
Exploration and Access
The following general historical summary of the area is excerpted from the South Lake Tahoe General Plan:1 Euroamerican contact with Native American groups living in coastal areas and the Central Valley of California began during the last half of the 18th century. The Spanish period in California lasted from about 1769 to 1821. This was a time when the Spanish missions dominated lives of both the Spanish and the Native Americans in those areas in California. However, the effect of the Spanish on the Washoe has not been documented. The Mexican Period (ca. 1821–1848) in California is an outgrowth of the Mexican Revolution, and its accompanying social and political views affected the mission system. Spanish exploration of the Central Valley did not begin until the late 1700s, and the eastern edges of the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada were not explored until the early 1800s. In 1808 Gabriel Moraga explored the Mokelumne, Cosumnes, and American rivers, passing near modern-day Folsom. Subsequent exploration of the general area is credited to mountain men such as Jedediah Smith, who crossed the Sierra Nevada into California in 1826. Smith traveled along the American, Sacramento, and Cosumnes rivers and also probably passed through current Pleasant Valley. Other explorers such as Ewing Young, Joseph Walker, John Fremont, and Christopher “Kit” Carson soon followed Smith. In 1844, Fremont crossed the Sierra Nevada near Lake Tahoe and descended the west slope in proximity to the American River, which he eventually followed to Sutter’s Fort. Many of the trails used by these early explorers and subsequent immigrants were not newly discovered routes, but rather Native American trails that were already in use.
Early explorations of the Sierra Nevada and its flanks were soon followed by groups of immigrants moving west. The first of these immigrant groups was the Bartleson-Bidwell party that crossed the Sierra Nevada in 1841 and followed the Stanislaus River into the Central Valley. The Joseph Chiles and Joseph Walker parties followed the crossing of the Sierra Nevada by the Bartleson-Bidwell party in 1843. Chiles crossed the Sierra Nevada following the Malheur and Pit rivers into the Central Valley and then traveled south along the Sacramento River. Walker, however, traveled south along the eastern front of the Sierra Nevada to Walker Lake where he crossed into Owens Valley and eventually the Central Valley using what is now known as Walker’s Pass. Subsequently, in 1844 the Stevens-Murphy party crossed the Sierra Nevada and probably is the first immigrant group to enter California via the Truckee and Bear rivers. Subsequently, the Gold Rush in 1849 dramatically increased the numbers of immigrants passing through the Lake Tahoe Basin to reach the gold fields in California.
At the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, there was a growing demand for roads that linked local communities and also California and Nevada. Initial road construction generally followed immigrant trails and other routes used by overland stage traffic and the Pony Express. One such road connecting Placerville and Nevada was constructed near the location of South Lake Tahoe. This road eventually became Placerville Road. The passage of the State Highways Act in 1909 authorized the creation of a highway network within states and linking adjoining states. The Placerville Road was incorporated into the developing highway system. Subsequently in 1913, the Placerville Road was incorporated into the intercontinental Lincoln Highway system. The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1925 created our current system of numbered interstate highways and the Lincoln Highway became US Highway 50. The City of South Lake Tahoe was incorporated in 1965 by combining the previously unincorporated communities of Al Tahoe, Bijou, Bijou Park, Stateline, Tahoe Valley, and Tallac Village. 327

Early Recreation
The majority of land within the Lake Tahoe Basin (upwards of 70%) is owned or managed by federal or state governments.2 These lands are part of the U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service) or are units of the California or Nevada State Parks systems.
This large proportion of public land ownership is the result of more than a century of active land acquisition and conservation efforts that began at the close of the 19th century as a response to clear-cutting and other destructive logging practices of the times.3 The Forest Service established its first ranger station in the Lake Tahoe basin in 1911. The first state park (no longer extant) in the area was opened in 1927 near Tahoe City, followed the next year by D. L Bliss State Park further south.4 At the same time, winter recreation areas began to open near Lake Tahoe. In 1910 a wooden ski jump, presumably the first in the United States, and toboggan lift was installed near Truckee. It was called “Winter Sports Hill” and eventually “Hilltop.”5 The winter carnival and sports exhibitions near Truckee drew people from all over the California and Nevada areas through the 1920s. A second ski jump was built near Tahoe City in 1928. It was called “Tahoe Tavern.” Soon thereafter, enthusiasts constructed an “Olympic-caliber hill” just a mile away from the Tahoe Tavern. This new ski hill hosted the 1932 Winter Olympic tryouts.6 By the 1930s, rope tows made accessing the tops of ski slopes much easier.7 The first in the basin were installed at what is now the Sugar Bowl Resort when it opened in 1939.8 Immediately after the war, a series of ski resorts opened all along the basin’s western half: Sierra-at-Tahoe (1946), Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley, 1949), Heavenly (1955), plus many smaller resorts. When Palisades Tahoe won the bid to host the 1960s winter Olympics Games, the Lake Tahoe Basin’s reputation as a world-class recreation center was solidified. 1960 Winter Olympic Games
When Palisades Tahoe was chosen as the site for the 1960 winter Olympics, the area lacked major infrastructure to support such a large event. While the original ski resort opened in 1949, it did not yet have sufficient facilities to host an Olympic Games.9 To prepare, the Squaw Valley Development Corporation had to construct roads, bridges, administrative buildings, hotels, restaurants, not to mention lifts, ski runs, and facilities needed to actually host the events.10 This preparation involved numerous agencies and private entities and included completion of Highway 80 which was still under construction when the successful bid was announced.
These Olympic Games were the first to be televised and the first to use instant replay. They also introduced the world to Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the history of the area. Following the games, the region experienced a 30-year period of sustained growth and development, primarily as a recreational and tourist destination.11 More importantly, it transformed the area from a summer designation to a year-round destination. Construction boomed for decades but often with little oversite.
“Placer County, however, was unprepared to deal with the period of rapid growth that followed the 1960 Olympics.
Large projects like high-rise casinos and the Tahoe Keys, which was built on the biggest filtration meadow in the basin, went in without any environmental analysis. In the 45 years since the Winter Games, the number of homes in the basin has increased five-fold, from around 7,000 in 1960 to 35,500 in 2000, according to Antonucci and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. The lakewide population has had even a bigger jump, growing from around 3,000 to 63,000 during the same period of time.”
12 One of the answers was creation of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), a bi-state agency authorized by Congress to manage growth and development in the watershed.13
Lake Tahoe Airport Development
El Dorado County purchased the first tracts of land for the airport in 1957 from the Kyburz family who used the land for cattle and sheep ranching.14 The early surveys were conducted in 1957 and identified a floodplain around the Upper Truckee River located just two miles from the south shore of Lake Tahoe. Planning efforts were catalyzed after the area was awarded the 1960 Winter Olympic games. This included selection of Charles Luckman Associates to prepare a Master Plan to guide airport development.15 However, runway construction began concurrently with planning efforts. When the Tahoe Valley Airport opened on August 1, 1959,16 it opened with no master plan document. Indeed, reports from the September 1959 dedication note that “Luckman had been operating under quite a handicap in trying to plan an airport which was already under construction.17 That construction was facilitated with assistance from the Federal Aid to Airports Program and resulted in a 5,900-foot-long, 100-foot wide runway.18 In spite of the airport having no night lighting, no air traffic control tower, and no hangars, the plan was for it to sustain 24-hour operation in time for the Olympics in February 1960.19 Indeed, the airport recorded 1,170 flights in November 1959, justifying the need for an airfield to serve the area.20 From the beginning, El Dorado County, who operated the airport, sought support from local businesses (casinos) and the 328

federal government to expand airport facilities.21 The process was often slow and piecemeal, proceeding through perpetual master planning efforts. Throughout the 1960s local newspapers discussed the need for an updated master plan, for creation of a new master plan, contracts for master plans, and overall construction of permanent facilities.22 Still, the early years were primarily guided by the Luckman master plan which included recommendations for development of permanent commercial and terminal facilities on the east side of the runway.23 This was never realized and through 2025, no construction beyond necessary security fencing and navigation aids have been placed east of the runway.
By 1960, the airport was serviced by a temporary terminal (at the site of the present terminal) and a permanent, rectangular hangar at the north end of the runway, near the present-day north hangars.24 The temporary terminal was long, and narrow, measuring 120-feet by 20-feet and consisted of prefabricated structures moved to the site (Figure 8).25,26 In 1962, the runway was extended to 8,540 feet and a fire and rescue building was constructed at the end of the runway.27 Shortly thereafter, a larger hangar was added to the north end of the runway (extant).28,29 With a longer runway, the airport could handle more and larger planes. This brought new urgency to the need for a permanent air traffic control tower. In 1964, the airport recorded more than the minimum 24,000 flights per year required to qualify for Federal Aviation Administration-supported (FAA) air traffic control.30 By the fall, the airport was awarded funding from the FAA to both construct and staff a control tower, located on the west side of the runway.31,32 With a proper tower and a longer runway in place, calls for construction of a proper, permanent terminal were renewed. By January 1965, designs for a terminal building were being presented to the public but no further action was taken.33 The delay in approval of a terminal seems to stem from issues around financing construction.34,35 From the beginning, development and construction of the airport was undertaken through grants or money generated by the airport. El Dorado County did not dedicate substantial tax dollars toward its operation or development. When the City of South Lake Tahoe incorporated in 1965, the County immediately began discussions with the City to take over the airport.36 Discussions over ownership and operation of the airport included conversations regarding the updates already needed to the six-year old facility: a permanent terminal and widening of the runway.37 Figure 8. Aerial view of the airport in 1962, only 3 years after it opened. North is to the right. (UC Santa Barbara Aerial Archive, 1962)
In 1967, the airport master plan was revised to include updated facility requirements for a new terminal as well as recommendations to expand the runways to handle 727 jets.38 This master plan was prepared by engineer Reinhard Brandley of Sacramento.39 Meanwhile, talks between the County and the City continued and the County secured $1.1 million to fund these needed improvements through assistance by the State of California as well as with donations from local casinos.40 With a plan for funding for a runway expansion, the terminal project became the prime focus.
The County decided to finance the terminal through a lease-back program whereby a developer would pay for the construction and the Couty would lease the terminal over a set period of time. It was presumed that rental income from commercial spaces in the terminal would cover the lease payments, thus negating the requirement for tax-payer funding. Various bids for the 329

terminal were submitted. In 1968, 19 proposals were submitted with International Aviation Facilities, Inc. (IAF) provided the preferred proposal.41 Shortly after, a rendering of an A-frame design was proposed.42 The runway expansion was dedicated in October 1968, but only a few months after announcing the winning proposal from IAF, progress on the terminal design was stymied. At the time, the issue was reported to be “trouble coming up with an architectural design acceptable to local agencies who want it to be compatible with the Tahoe Area.”43 At the same time, other reports noted that the County wanted to formalize a handoff to the City prior to undertaking the terminal project.44 This second justification for delay seems to be the more accurate, as shortly thereafter in June 1969,45 plans were drawn up for the current terminal showing a design that was remarkably similar to the rendering published in August 1968.46 Construction on the terminal began in early 1970 after removal of the temporary terminal building. It was constructed by Gil Construction of Pacheco47 at a cost of approximately $800,000, with structural engineering design by AV Colosi and Associates of Oakland.48 After years of waiting for a permanent terminal, the final completion and dedication of the building was further delayed as disputes over the funding and financing model for terminal construction festered between county supervisors.49 Regardless, the terminal finally opened to the public in July 1970.50 When the terminal opened in 1970, the airport facilities consisted of the terminal building at the half-way point of the runway, a grouping of three hangars at the north end of the runway (a roughly square hangar, a short and wide rectangular hangar, and a long, narrow rectangular hangar), and an air traffic control tower located between the terminal and the hangars.51 By 1973, there was also a small maintenance facility just south of the terminal (part of the current maintenance building) as well as the Fixed Base Operator building north of the terminal and another square-plan hangar at the north end of the runway (Figure 9).
Figure 10. Aerial view of the airport in 1973. The terminal building is visible and notable by the shadow cast by the steeply pitched A-frame center section. Hangars 1 and 3 are part of the grouping to the top-right. The FBO building is between the hangars and the terminal. The maintenance building is south of the terminal. North is to the right. (UC Santa Barbara Aerial Archive, 1973)
Then, in 1982, the City assumed control of the airport and further expansion took place. By 1987, the parking lot was graded and paved and the maintenance building was expanded slightly to the west. After that the most substantial additions to the airport were construction of the south hangars in 1994.52,53 Other smaller modifications include installation of the helicopter operator’s building (between 1998 and 2004), removal of several hangars at the north end of the runway (between 2004 and 330

Construction History
The Lake Tahoe Airport terminal was designed conceptually in 1968 with drawings created in 1969. While no original architectural designs are directly attributable to IAF, Inc., a rendering of the company’s 1968 design was published with the announcement of an award to the firm for the terminal (Figure 10).54 Structural designs were completed by A.V. Colosi and Associates of Oakland, California in 1969.55 Minimal alterations to the exterior of the building have occurred (Table 1).
Windows on the west façade have been filled in (date unknown). The interior retains its lofted central volume with exposed beams and ceiling. However, the interior layout was modified in 2006 when most of the building was remodeled to accommodate its current use as the South Lake Tahoe City Hall and Lake Tahoe Airport offices.

A-Frame Architecture
A-frame buildings are easily identified by their steeply sloping roofs and prominent triangular form. It is a building type that developed in the early 1950s as an economical design for the rapidly expanding vacation home market.56 Triangular roof forms have been found in traditional buildings throughout the world from Japan to Africa to the South Pacific islands and beyond. It is a strong, practical shape for simple construction that is adaptable to a wide set of geographic conditions.
However, it is generally argued that the modern A-frame does not trace its roots to these designs but rather follows naturally from the idea of a simple, cost-effective type of building that can be adapted for a range of uses and conditions.57 In the United States, the modern A-frame can be traced to Rudolph Schindler’s 1934 design for a triangular cabin for Gisela Bennati at Lake Arrowhead, California.58 The style gained popular appeal after World War II when Interiors magazine selected an A-frame style design by John Campbell (Campbell and Wong) as part of its 1951 “Interiors to Come” collection.59 Campbell called his design the “Leisure House” and it immediately spawned other articles in popular publications celebrating its ease of construction and suitability for do-it-yourself assembly.60 The design was so popular that Campbell soon began offering a pre332 State of California — Natural Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI #

packaged kit that was offered through the 1970s.61
Other architect-designed examples proliferated popular design magazines in the 1950s, establishing the A-frame as a respectable design choice for vacation homes across the country. This corresponded to a period when the rapidly growing, post-World War II middle-class had both money and time to devote to recreational activities. At the same time, there were greatly expanded areas for recreation being developed on state and federal lands throughout the country along with new highways to get you there quickly and easily.62
The “A” shaped roof makes the design inherently strong and suitable to mountainous conditions where structural loads from heavy snowfall are a concern.63 In the Lake Tahoe basin as in other mountain regions across the country, the design became ubiquitous, being used for houses, churches, commercial buildings, and even the 1960 Winter Olympics itself.64 It came to symbolize the mountain recreation home of the 1960s. References to A-frames were employed in advertisements as a shorthand reference to demonstrate the modern-nature of the product being advertised or to indicate its ease of use. “No other vacation home design was so instantly recognizable and unambiguous in its connection to the leisure lifestyle.”65 The variations of the A-frame have been classified into eight sub-types (Figure 10). The Lake Tahoe Airport terminal is the “Aframe with wings,” subtype.
Figure 10. There are eight sub-types of A-frames. The Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal is the “A-frame with wings,” subtype. (Mead and Hunt, Historic Context of A-frame Architecture in Boulder County, 106.) Character-defining features of A-frame architecture include:66 A-shaped roof/wall truss system;
Deep, overhanding eaves/gable ends;
Large glazing configurations extending across entire façade of one or more walls; Expansive porches/decks on front and rear walls;
Skylights and modest dormer windows on side walls to add interior light; Foundations of stone, concrete, or presence of wooden or concrete piers; Concrete knee walls no more than two-thirds the height of the first story; and Rustic elements such as stone chimneys and rough-hewn elements including porches and decks 333

Associated Design Professionals
A.V. Colosi and Associates
A.V. Colosi and Associates is credited as the structural engineer for the construction of the Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal building.
A.V. Colosi and Associates was an engineering firm located in the San Francisco Bay Area in California.67 Little is known about the firm. They are recredited with a number of apartment complexes in the Adams Point neighborhood of Oakland in the 1960s and early 1970s. A review of local newspapers directly attributes the following apartment complexes to the firm: 250 Montecito Avenue (1962), 695 Mariposa Avenue (1963), 499 Chetwood Street (1964), 22 Moss Avenue (1964), 240 Athol Avenue (1964), 420 Burk Street (1965), 320 Park View Terrace (1970), and a 264-unit development in Santa Clara (1970). For some projects they are credited with design and engineering, while for others the credit is for engineering only.68 The firm is named for Albert Vincent Colosi. Archival research did not uncover any further information about the professional career of Colosi or the firm.
International Aviation Facilities, Inc.
International Aviation Facilities, Inc. was a Los Angeles-based transportation corporation “formed and owned by a number of major corporations including Goodyear Tire and Rubber, Co., Lockheed Aircraft International Inc., Glore Forgan, William R.

Regulatory Framework
National Register of Historic Places
A property is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) if it meets the National Register listing criteria at 36 CFR 60.4, as stated below:
The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and that:
A) Are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history, or B) Are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past, or C) Embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction, or
D) Have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history In addition to qualifying for listing under at least one of the National Register criteria, a property must be shown to have sufficient historic integrity. The concept of integrity is essential to identifying the important physical characteristics of historic resources and in evaluating adverse changes to them. Integrity is defined as “the authenticity of an historic resource’s physical identity evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed during the resource’s period of significance.” The same seven variables or aspects that define integrity—location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association—are used to evaluate a resource’s eligibility for listing in the National Register.
California Register of Historical Resources
To be eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) a historical resource must be significant under one or more of the following criteria:
1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage;
2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or
4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important to prehistory or history.

South Lake Tahoe does not have its own set of local designation criteria. Rather, the municipal code refers to the Tahoe Regional Planning Authority (TRPA) Code of Ordinances.
The TRPA has adopted criteria similar to those including in the National and California registers related to association with events, people, and design. Specifically, Chapter 67.6 of the TRPA Code of Ordinances states:
“Sites, objects, structures, districts or other resources, eligible for designation as resources of historical, cultural, archeological, paleontological, or architectural significance locally, regionally, state-wide or nationally, shall meet at least one of the criteria provided below.”
1. Resources Associated with Historically Significant Events and Sites Resources shall exemplify the broad cultural, political, economic, social, civic, or military history of the region, the states, or the nation, or be associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history, including regional history. Such resources shall meet one or more of the following criteria:
A. Association with an important community function in the past; B. Association with a memorable happening in the past; or C. Contain outstanding qualities reminiscent of an early stage of development in the region.
2. Resources Associated with Significant Persons
Resources that are associated with the lives of persons significant in history, including regional history, such as:
A. Buildings or structures associated with a locally, regionally, or nationally known person; B. Notable examples, or best surviving works, of a pioneer architect, designer, or master builder; or C. Structures associated with the life or work of significant persons.
3. Resources Embodying Distinctive Characteristics
Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction that possess high artistic values or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity but whose components may lack individual distinction. Works of a master builder, designer, or architect also are eligible. Resources may be classified as significant if they are a prototype of, or a representative example of, a period style, architectural movement, or method of construction unique in the region, the states, or the nation.
4. State and Federal Guidelines
Archeological or paleontological resources protected or eligible for protection under state or federal guidelines.
5. Prehistoric Sites
Sites where prehistoric archaeological or paleontological resources that may contribute to the basic understanding of early cultural or biological development in the region.
Significance Evaluation
The Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal is evaluated below for potential historic significance according to National Register Criteria A through D, California Register Criteria 1 through 4 and TRPA criteria 1-3 and 5.
Criteria A/1/1 – Events
The Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal was constructed in 1970, 11 years after the airport first opened. It is not associated with the initial phase of development at the airport, its support of the 1960 Winter Olympic games, or with first decade of growth that followed the development of the Lake Tahoe basin as a recreation destination following the games. It shares no historically significant associations with development of the region in the early 1970s nor is the terminal associated with any period of significant expansion at the airport after its construction. Because the terminal lacks associations with these regional themes, it is recommended ineligible as a historic resource at any level for associations with important events or trends.
Criteria B/2/2 – People
Construction of a permanent terminal at the Lake Tahoe Airport was a constant thread of discussion in newspaper accounts for the first decade the airport operated. Numerous individuals championed the cause in public media but none are directly accredited with the actual construction of the terminal. Research did not uncover any historically significant people whose 335

productive life is best represented by the terminal building. Because there is a lack of association between the productive lives of historically significant individuals and the Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal, the building is recommended ineligible as a historic resource at any level.
Criteria C/3/3 – Design
Attribution of the architectural design of the Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal to IAF, Inc. is assumed but could not be confirmed.
The structural drawings are associated with A.V. Colosi and Associates, a structural engineering firm based in Oakland. Based on comparisons between promotional renderings released prior to Colosi’s involvement with the project, the design is not attributable to that firm and no other information about designers employed by IAF, Inc. could be located. Therefore, the building does not appear attributable to a master architect, engineer, or designer.
However, as a representative of A-frame architecture, the building is unique. There are other examples of commercial applications of the form both in South Lake Tahoe and in the broader mountain west, but ESA could find no other instance where it was used for an airport terminal. The choice is unusual but also highly specific to the Lake Tahoe region where the Aframe has come to symbolize recreation and leisure. Like many commercial applications, the A-frame served as both a shorthand for fun and vacation time as well as a recognizable differentiator from the standard roadside architecture.70 Use of the Aframe form as an airport terminal serves as a form of advertising to signal to passengers that they had arrived at a recreation destination. It provided a first impression of being in a place of fun and leisure by adapting the language of mountain vacation homes in the area to serve the affluent visitors who could afford to arrive via commercial airline. On top of that, the expanses of glass that characterize the east façade allow for those visitors to enjoy expansive mountain views while they waited for their flights. The A-frame form, as adapted for the airport terminal celebrated the region’s ethos and its natural beauty.
As a unique adaptation of the regional design language of A-frame architecture to an aviation terminal, the Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal is recommended eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C, in the California Register under Criterion 3, and the TRPA register under Criterion 3 for its design. The period of significance is 1970, corresponding to the completion of construction.
The character-defining features of the Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal as those features that exemplify its A-frame architecture:
A-shaped roof/wall truss system;
Deep, overhanding eaves on the central A-frame mass and faux-mansard parapet on the wings; Symmetrical wings that vary in height according to the terrain of the site; Large glazing configurations extending across entire façades (east and west); Expansive decks on east walls;
Siting parallel to both the east mountains and runway; Modest gabled dormer windows on the north and south roof planes; Concrete knee walls no more than two-thirds the height of the first story; Open framing of the A-frame peak, visible from the interior; and Views through the building to the mountain and wooded setting to the east.
An assessment of integrity is presented below.
Criteria D/4/5 – Information Potential
While most often applied to archaeological districts and sites, Criterion D/4/5 can also apply to buildings, structures, and objects that contain important information. For these types of properties to be eligible, they themselves must be, or must have been, the principal source of the important information, and the information must be considered important.
The Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal does not appear to have the potential to yield significant information that would expand our current knowledge or theories of design, methods of construction, operation, or other information that is not already known about the period in which the building was constructed, particular method of construction, or design. The building reflects common building practices and uses typical materials that would be expected for its late-20th century construction date. These methods and materials follow convention and are well documented. Therefore, the Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal does not appear to possess individual significance under Criterion D/4/5. 336

Integrity
In addition to being eligible for listing under at least one of the National, California, or TRPA register criteria, a property must also retain sufficient integrity to convey its historical significance. There are seven aspects to consider when evaluating the integrity of a property: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
The Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal has not been relocated, nor has its setting within a wooded space, at the edge of a clearing for the runway and facing the surrounding mountains been altered since the period of significance in 1970. It retains a sense of being in the woods, surrounded by mature trees with views of open space and nature. Therefore, it retains integrity of location, setting, feeling, and also association with the Lake Tahoe Airport.
The building has been altered through infill of many windows on the west façade. This has reduced the original openness of the central A-frame. Infill of windows on portions of the west facades of the north and south wings has also reduced the original transparency of the design. These windows, and the expansive views they afford, are still present on the east façade.
As a result, the building does have reduced integrity of design, materials, and workmanship.
Overall, the building retains the majority of its character-defining features and it is clearly a representation of A-frame architecture. The building retains sufficient integrity for eligibility for listing in the California and local registers. However, it does not retain sufficient integrity for listing in the National Register.
Summary
The Lake Tahoe Terminal Building is recommended individually eligible for listing on the California Register under Criterion 3 for its application of the regionally significant A-frame design to a commercial building. While the building has been modified, including interior reconfiguration and alterations to the fenestration pattern on the primary (west) façade, it retains sufficient integrity for listing in the California Register. As such, it is also recommended eligible for local listing under Criterion 3.
The building is not recommended eligible for the National Register as the building has been modified from its original form through interior changes and alterations to window openings and fenestration patterns. As such it does not retain sufficient integrity for National Register listing.
The Lake Tahoe Airport Terminal qualifies as a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. It would not qualify as a historic property for the purposes of Section 106 should such compliance be required in the future. *B12. References: (Continued from page 2)

Re: 2025 Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan Draft Environmental Analysis Mr. Jevic:
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Draft Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan and environmental analysis. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) appreciates the ongoing coordination with the City and other stakeholders throughout this planning process.
According to the Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed plan is an update to the “long-range plan for airport development that is intended to meet identified facility requirements and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standards.” In short, we understand that the 20-year Master Plan was prompted by FAA funding requirements, and the scope was developed to ensure the existing airport’s operational infrastructure (e.g. taxiways) meet FAA guidelines. This is an update to the 2017 Airport Master Plan, with the City of South Lake Tahoe serving as the CEQA lead agency.
To summarize, the proposed improvements within the draft Airport Master Plan include the following:
• Reconstruction of an existing ground service equipment maintenance facility; • Demolition of an existing air traffic control tower;
• Incorporation of proposed bike paths consistent with the regional Active Transportation Plan (ATP);
• Removal of four aircraft tie-downs and construction of four new aircraft box hangars; • Installation of electrical vault and electric aircraft charging stations; • Removal and relocation of coverage associated with taxiways and runway; • Relocation of mechanical equipment and other improvements; and, • Construction of a parking garage structure.
Through our participation in the planning process, TRPA understands the proposed parking garage is contemplated in other planning documents as a potential mobility hub with shuttle service to Emerald Bay and surrounding locations. Importantly, the garage is not intended to increase airport operational capacity, nor would it be funded in whole or in part with FAA resources. Its inclusion in the Master Plan is for the limited purpose of analyzing potential airspace impacts. 343
TRPA APPROVAL PROCESS FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LAKE TAHOE AIRPORT Under TRPA Code of Ordinances section 14.2.2.A and Chapter 13, a TRPA-approved Master Plan or Area Plan is required for projects that expand airport facilities or commercial passenger air service. Expansion is defined as any project that increases development rights (e.g., commercial floor area, tourist accommodation units, residential units), land coverage, vehicle trips for airport operations, or airport operational capacity.1
Projects that do not increase development rights, land coverage, vehicle trips for airport operations, or airport operational capacity do not trigger the requirement for a TRPA-approved Master Plan. Such projects may, however, still require project-level TRPA review and approval. For example, the proposed removal or relocation of land coverage associated with the runways, taxiways, or the parking garage would require project-specific TRPA review and approval consistent with the Code of Ordinances.
Additionally, prior to or concurrent with future development, the City should reconcile land capability and coverage information to determine specific coverages and development potential, as well as existing easements, for each parcel. The Lake Tahoe Airport property consists of 17 parcels. The existing land capability and coverage verifications (TRPA File #s LCAP2010-0100 and VBOC2010-0326) summarize this information for the Lake Tahoe Airport property as a whole and do not differentiate what land capability or coverage amounts are associated with each parcel.
TRPA REVIEW OF DRAFT MASTER PLAN
Based on our review of the draft Master Plan, and coordination with the City’s consulting team and Airport Manager at the time of the planning process (John Dickinson), TRPA understands that the proposed improvements outlined within the draft plan are narrowly focused on compliance with FAA standards. The plan does not appear to propose any increase in operational capacity (i.e.it proposes to continue operations as-is, no expansion), development rights, land coverage, or airport-related vehicle trips. The existing airport does not have any commercial passenger air service, nor is any proposed as part of this master plan.
Therefore, TRPA has determined that the Draft Master Plan does not require TRPA approval or action at this time. No further applications or documentation, including an IEC, are required. Please contact TRPA staff with any questions regarding project-level review and approval as individual projects move forward.
Kind regards,

Hi Mark,
I received an email from Mark Johnson on May 20 regarding a future redevelopment proposal at the airport. Mark forwarded your email that outlines considerations and the approval process as it pertains to the FAA, CalTrans, and the City. He asked that I speak to the TRPA approval process.
Given that the City is exploring alternatives for the property, we wanted to make sure that there was clear direction on our end to avoid any surprises down the road. I have worked with our staff and legal counsel to outline what the TRPA process entails.
There are ample studies, analyses, and reports completed in the last few years that outline the environmental and financial considerations, so I will not go into those aspects. Again, this is intended to speak directly to the TRPA approval process.
The information and process steps you outlined for Mark are incredibly helpful. Please see the information below to supplement that.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding this email.
Best,
Jennifer
TRPA APPROVAL PROCESS FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LAKE TAHOE AIRPORT A TRPA adopted master plan or area plan (in accordance to Chapters 13 and 14 of the TRPA Code) is required prior to any future project that would increase development rights (i.e. commercial floor area, tourist accommodation units, residential units), land coverage, or vehicle trips for the airport property. For more information on these, see below.
Projects that do not increase development rights, land coverage, or vehicle trips (e.g. coverage restoration or relocation, reconfiguration of existing facilities with similar use, etc.) would not be required to complete a master plan or area plan.
Any development project that does not fall under the MOU between the City and TRPA, would need to come to TRPA for review and approval prior to review by the City’s Development Services Division. Any project exceeding the size limitations in Policy LU‐4.12 of the Regional Plan must be reviewed by TRPA.
Additionally, prior to future development or concurrent with a project, the City would also need to reconcile the land capability and coverage information to determine specific coverages and development potential, as well as existing easements, for each parcel. There are 17 parcels that comprise the Lake Tahoe Airport property. The existing land capability and coverage verifications (TRPA File #s LCAP2010‐0100 and VBOC2010‐0326) summarize this information for the Lake Tahoe Airport property as a whole and do not differentiate what land capability or coverage amounts are associated with each parcel.
Background on Airport Master Plan
346
2 As part of the 1992 settlement agreement between the City, TRPA, the League to Save Lake Tahoe, and the California Attorney General; the City prepared the Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan and environmental analysis. TRPA adopted the Plan and certified the final EIR/EIS, per the agreement. Pursuant to TRPA’s Rules of Procedure, the Governing Board was charged with reviewing the final EIS and making a determination (or certification) on its compliance, substantively and procedurally, with Article VII of the Compact, Chapter 3 of the TRPA Code of Ordinances, and Article VI of the Rules of Procedure.
The settlement agreement and subsequent plan put into place the single event noise environmental threshold standards for aircraft arrivals and departures as well as a maximum community noise equivalent level for the Lake Tahoe Airport Corridor. The settlement agreement also upheld TRPA’s authority to implement and enforce noise thresholds and flight limits without challenge by the City or FAA. The intent behind the standards was to limit commercial flights and control noise within the Region.
The City initiated the Airport Master Plan Update in 2013, with funding from the FAA, in order to determine the current and future potential of the airport. The plan was primarily focused on maintaining general aviation versus allowing for commercial service.
During the Master Plan update, the City consulted with TRPA staff. Per direction from TRPA’s legal counsel, as long as airport projects do not increase development rights (CFA, TAUs, residential units, PAOTs, land coverage) or vehicle trips, TRPA adoption of the updated Master Plan was not required. (TRPA Code 14.2.2.A) According to the City staff, the thinking at the time was that the City would be able to implement airfield Alternative 2 and landside Alternative C that were recommended in the Phase 2 report within these parameters and thus did not seek adoption and certification from TRPA. If there is a desire to increase development rights, then adoption of an updated master plan or an area plan is required.
Master plans and area plans adopted by TRPA and in compliance with the Regional Plan provide detailed planning goals, policies, and standards for a specified area. These refine and supersede land use strategies and environmental protection mechanisms called for in the plan area statements. (The airport property is located within four plan area statements ‐ Airport, Country Club, Trout/Cold Creek, and Truckee Marsh PASs.) The alternative to a master plan is an area plan, or to expand the Tahoe Valley Area Plan and possibly the town center boundaries. A citywide area plan was being considered by Frank Rush and Hilary Roverud as recently as last year. The area plan serves a similar purpose to a master plan – localized planning strategies for a given area. A few advantages of an area plan over a master plan are the ability to develop an alternative coverage management system and alternative transfer ratios for development rights for the area. If the town center boundary is expanded, this affords a wide range of incentives from increased density allowances, transfer bonuses, etc. To determine if this is a viable option, we need to look into specific findings to see if these can be met for the property.
Both the master plan or an area plan would be initiated by the City and is required to be developed in compliance with the Regional Plan, including threshold standards. An area plan would be adopted by TRPA Governing Board and the City.
As always, TRPA staff are available to discuss these options or the TRPA approval process further.

Mark:
Thank you for reaching out to me last week. Sorry for the delay getting back to you. This email broadly establishes the planning framework required to undertake a major airport development project. These are things to think about when exploring a possible development of a hotel/conference/retail complex at this Airport. Just as any development in Lake Tahoe, environmental review and compliance are significant areas of redress and drivers of the planning process (and ultimately what is achievable in development).
I have attached a few documents that can aid you understand the airport’s current financial picture in addition to many development concepts that were vetted with the express purpose of meeting a City Council priority that the airport seek all means to realize financial self‐sufficiency from the City’s General Fund. The airport concluded that based on the current financial arrangement and strict limits on land coverage that the highest and best use was a public boat/rv storage facility at the basin and additional aircraft hangars to meet demand. City Council at the time did not wish to take on the capital risk and finance the project. Hence, the airport is open to discussions on these development proposals in addition to yours if there is interest. Many of the proposals show the same sort of development conditions present for a hotel/retail/conference center. A hotel is consistent with City Plan Area Statement 116‐ Airport which allows for this as a permitted use under “tourist accommodation” under the currently approved plan. Furthermore, the FAA and Caltrans typically finds hotel development a compatible land use if such proposed development does not adversely impact existing aeronautical uses.
As initially discussed over the telephone what you are envisioning requires changes to the Airport Master Plan Update that was last approved by City Council in 2017. Unfortunately, the 2017 Airport Master Plan Update, we both inherited, did not envision hotel/retail/conference center proposed by you. Also important, the 2017 Airport Master Plan Update was never approved by the TRPA so any individual project proposal would need to be vetted by the TRPA on a project specific basis. Any major update to the development of the airport as proposed would require an Airport Layout Plan Update with Narrative Report which is a “mini” airport master plan specific to a major development change at an obligated airport that was not addressed through the last airport master plan update. Any Airport Layout Plan Update would need approval by the Federal Aviation Administration to ensure any development does not adversely effect the safety, efficiency or operation of the airport. Caltrans Division of Aeronautics will also review and approve the Airport Layout Plan Update Narrative Report to ensure compatible development within the airport’s safety 350
6 zones. Safety Zones are a component of the Lake Tahoe Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Finally our City Development Services Division must review and approve any new development through a major design review process to meet City land use compatibility and development impacts to the community as a whole.
Since the City never received TPRA approval of the Airport Master Plan; the airport is trying to seek approvals for development on an individual project basis with limited success under my term. The TRPA is unwilling at this time to approve a comprehensive plan for development at the airport. In 2020, TRPA asked for the airport to submit a new Land Capability Map for verification prior to reviewing any development proposals. The 2010 Land Capability Map was apparently approved by the TRPA with omissions. TRPA input is very important as there are planning costs associated with making any changes to proposed development at the airport. What the City does not want is to get three approvals but the TRPA finds a fatal flaw in a development site or concept. I would recommend TRPA involvement at the very earliest opportunity based on past history.
Overall the airport planning process involves tackling these major elements. I tried to distill hundreds of pages of regulatory guidance into major elements of large scale airport development projects.
• Establishing an Airport Master Plan, Airport Layout Plan Update Narrative Report or other visioning tool; • Aligning airport and community goals; community consideration/consultation; • Setting a leasing policy;
• Ensure contracting mechanisms comply with Federal Aviation Administration Airport Sponsor Grant Assurances (#5,6,7,8,20,21,,24,29,31)
• Providing flexibility throughout the development process; • Coordinating with local, state, and federal agencies, when appropriate.
Airport Manager’s Recommended Steps to Develop Airport Property for New Development Not Previously Approved in 2017 Airport Master Plan Update.
Please note that depending on the nature of environmental review it may take 3 years to obtain all approvals.
351
7 1. Contract document to establish P3 relationship in Airport Planning Process (resource allocation, who pays for what, etc.)
2. Provide for initial environmental scoping meeting with FAA San Francisco Airport District Office of Environmental Compliance for project proposal. This is a MUST DO per FAA Order 5050.4B, Airport Environmental Compliance Handbook. Tiering of environmental review is encouraged and airport sector environmental review is very complex. Hence, the need for early involvement of FAA in outlining the environmental review process for a development project. FAA also will determine schedule for NEPA compliance (timeline).
3. Consult with TRPA on how to handle airport development as the TRPA is not using TRPA Code of Ordinances
14.2.2A Airports approval process and has not provided City on their “preferred” approval process so new development remains a grey area that needs early coordination. Any proposed changes to land coverage should be voiced early on in the process.
4. Establish FMV on non‐aeronautical use of property (appraisal) required for FAA formal Land Release (see step 5). 352
8 5. Obtain Land Release (Federal Action) to convert portions designated aeronautical/terminal to non‐aeronautical (NEPA Environmental Review Triggered FAA Order 5050.4B Section 207.) Maybe an Categorical Exclusion or EA/EIS based on use or extraordinary circumstances of the released land (future use) that are probable due to location of airport in Lake Tahoe.
6. Airport Layout Plan Update Narrative Report . ALP approval by FAA is either Mixed, Unconditional or Conditional Approval See Environmental Appendix B.Page B‐1 a. City Council formally adopts new Airport Layout Plan Update b. Airport Layout Plan Update also must be provided to Caltrans Division of Aeronautics. c. FAA must approve ALP with proposed development depicted. If it is not on the approved ALP the development cannot proceed until it is shown on the approved ALP.
7. Project Specific Environmental Review on Proposed Development *Tiering encouraged from Neg mitigated declaration 2017 Airport Master Plan Update* (Adopting ALP triggers CEQA and NEPA review). Costs for preparation of environmental review at project proponent expense §21089. Costs for preparing an ALP Update for airport development is at the cost of the project proponent and is not eligible for Federal funding. ALP Update approval is considered a “Federal Action” triggering environmental review under NEPA. Cost for NEPA compliance with ALP Approval is at the expense of the project proponent (City or Developer; TBD) a. Project Specific TRPA / CEQA Initial Study PRC§21083.5 which may likely result in a Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative Declaration or EIR. May also require CEQA scoping meetings depending on nature of environmental impact level
b. NEPA EA or EIS completed either during ALP approval process “Mixed ALP Approval” or “Unconditionally ALP Approval” or at time project is “ripe” for environmental review as a “Conditionally Approved ALP” which only requires a Categorical Exclusion but does require future environmental review under NEPA as designated by FAA official.
c. Robust coordination with local tribal agencies as well as federal, state and local resource agencies.
8. City of South Lake Tahoe General Development Application for the proposed development project required
9. Development Agreement and Airport Land Lease Agreement(s) once planning approvals obtained.

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
Introduction
The purpose of this Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is to describe the roles and responsibilities in the mitigation monitoring process for the proposed project, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15097. A reporting and monitoring program ensures that measures adopted to mitigate or avoid significant environmental impacts are implemented. It is a working guide to facilitate not only the implementation of mitigation measures, but also the monitoring, compliance, and reporting activities.
The measures identified in this MMRP were developed as part of the IS/MND prepared for the proposed project and is defined by CEQA as a measure which minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation.
Monitoring and documenting the implementation of mitigation measures will be coordinated by the City (CEQA Lead Agency). Table E-1 identifies the mitigation measure, the monitoring action for the mitigation measure, the responsible party for the monitoring action, and timing of the monitoring action.
The City will monitor and report on all mitigation activities. As such, the responsibilities for implementation shall be assigned to the City of South Lake Tahoe. 359

BIO-1: Conduct Nesting Bird Surveys. For construction activities that occur between March 1 and August 31, preconstruction nesting bird surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist familiar with bird behavior and knowledge of nest types prior to and within 14 days of any initial ground-disturbance activities. Surveys shall be conducted on foot within all suitable nesting habitat within 250 feet for passerines and 500 feet for raptors, to the extent feasible. If active nests are identified at the time of the survey, a minimum 50-foot radius exclusion zone for passerines shall be established and flagged.
Active raptor or special-status species nests shall be protected by a buffer with a minimum radius of 250 feet. These distances may be adjusted depending on the level of surrounding ambient activity (i.e., if the project site is adjacent to a road or community development) and if an obstruction is within line-of-sight between the nest and construction. For bird species that are federally and/or State-listed special-status species (i.e., fully protected, endangered, threatened, species of special concern), the City of South Lake Tahoe shall consult with the USFWS and/or CDFW regarding modifying nest buffers, prohibiting construction within the buffer, modifying construction, and removing or relocating active nests that are found on the site. Each exclusion zone will remain in place until the nest has successfully fledged or is otherwise inactive as determined by a qualified biologist. The following are conditions of this measure:
• Survey results are valid for 14 days from the survey date. Should ground disturbance commence later than 14 days from the survey date, surveys will be repeated. If no nesting birds are encountered, then work may proceed as planned. • After commencement of work if there is a period of no work activity of 14 days or longer during the bird breeding season (March 1 to August 31), surveys will be repeated to ensure birds have not established nests during inactivity. If new nests are encountered buffers shall be established.
• Any birds that begin nesting within the project site and survey buffers amid construction activities shall be assumed to be habituated to construction-related or similar noise and disturbance levels and minimum work exclusion zones of 25 feet shall be established around active nests in these cases.

Prior to construction activities outside of currently developed hardscape areas that would include ground disturbance or vegetation removal, a wetland delineation shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to determine if there are any wetland or waters subject to federal or state jurisdiction or subject to any permits or approvals by federal, state or local resource agencies. The wetland delineation shall be submitted to the USACE for verification. The City of South Lake Tahoe shall use the results of the wetland delineation to refine site plans in order avoid impacts to any jurisdictional features to the extent possible. If total avoidance is not possible, the City of South Lake Tahoe shall obtain the required permits prior to the implementation of construction activities. The anticipated required permits include a Clean Water Act Section 404 Nationwide Permit from the USACE; a Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the Regional Water Quality Control Board; and a Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA) from the CDFW. All permit requirements such as restoration for temporary impacts or compensation for permanent impacts shall be implemented to mitigate for loss of waters of the United States or state and reduce impacts to water quality during construction.

CUL-2: Inadvertent Discovery of Cultural Resources. If pre-contact or historic-era archaeological resources are encountered during project implementation, all construction activities within 100 feet shall halt, and a qualified archaeologist, defined as an archaeologist meeting Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards (SOI PQS) for Archeology, shall inspect the find within 24 hours of discovery and notify the City of Lake Tahoe of their initial assessment. Pre-contact archaeological materials might include: obsidian and chert flaked-stone tools (e.g., projectile points, knives, scrapers) or toolmaking debris; culturally darkened soil (midden) containing heat-affected rocks, artifacts, or shellfish remains; stone milling equipment (e.g., mortars, pestles, handstones, or milling slabs); and battered stone tools (e.g., hammerstones, pitted stones). Historic-era materials might include building or structure footings and walls, and deposits of metal, glass, and/or ceramic refuse.
If the City of Lake Tahoe determines, based on recommendations from the archaeologist and, if the resource is indigenous and a Native American tribe has expressed interest, a Native American tribe, that the resource may qualify as a historical resource or unique archaeological resource (as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5) or a tribal cultural resource (as defined in PRC Section 21080.3) the resource shall be avoided, if feasible. Consistent with Section 15126.4(b)(3), this may be accomplished through planning construction to avoid the resource; incorporating the resource within open space; capping and covering the resource; or deeding the site into a permanent conservation easement.
If avoidance is not feasible, the City of Lake Tahoe shall consult with appropriate Native American tribes (if the resource is pre-contact), and other appropriate interested parties to determine treatment measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate any potential impacts to the resource pursuant to PRC Section 21083.2, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4. This shall include documentation of the resource and may include data recovery (according to PRC Section 21083.2), if deemed appropriate, or other actions such as treating the resource with culturally appropriate dignity and protecting the cultural character and integrity of the resource (according to PRC Section 21084.3).

The plan shall also include measures to limit vibration from construction equipment when operating within 200 feet of structures to achieve a performance standard of 0.02 in/sec as required by the City of South Lake Tahoe General Plan Policy HS-6.3. Measures may include but not be limited to:
• Prohibit impact, sonic, or vibratory pile driving methods where feasible. Drilled piles cause lower vibration levels where geological conditions permit their use. • Limit other vibration-inducing equipment to the extent feasible. • Submit a list of all heavy construction equipment to be used for this project known to produce high vibration levels (e.g., tracked vehicles, vibratory compaction, jackhammers, hoe rams) to the City. This list shall be used to identify equipment and activities that would potentially generate substantial vibration and to define the level of effort required for continuous vibration monitoring.

Letter 1 Nick Speal
Response 1A
The commenter expresses appreciation for the inclusion of a bicycle path, electric vehicle charging, and a transit mobility hub in the Airport Master Plan and provides suggested additions and actions related to these elements. With regard to bicycle access, the commenter suggests studying whether the vehicular traffic needs of the Airport still warrant a two lane exit road, and if not, the commenter suggests closure of one of these lanes to vehicular traffic and dedication of the lane for bi-directional bicycle traffic to improve safety. With regard to transit access related to the Airport parking garage with transit stop proposed under the Airport Master Plan, the commenter suggests the inclusion of intersection improvements at the Airport entrance and exit on Emerald Bay Road (U.S. Route 50) to facilitate large vehicle (e.g., bus) access and related operational safety. The comments are noted and will be provided to decision makers for consideration in their deliberations on approval of the proposed project. The comments do not pertain to the adequacy, accuracy, or completeness of the Draft IS/MND’s analysis of the physical environmental impacts of the proposed project and thus do not require further response. See Response 5A for further discussion regarding comments related to Airport access in connection with the proposed project.

Letter 2 Nick Speal
Response 2A
The comment asserts that the Draft IS/MND is flawed because it explicitly dismisses the environmental impacts of expanded aircraft operations, including impacts related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, that the commenter asserts would result with implementation of the proposed project. The comment includes several excerpts from the project description and environmental impact analyses in the Draft IS/MND that the commenter asserts are demonstrative of the Draft IS/MND’s purported dismissal of the aforementioned environmental impacts.
In response to the comment, the commenter inaccurately conflates accommodation of existing and forecasted aviation demand with facilitation or inducement of expanded aircraft operations. As discussed on pages 93 through 94 of the Draft IS/MND, and as referenced in the comment, the proposed project includes a series of improvements to the Airport that would occur over approximately a 20-year period.
These improvements are intended to improve the safety of existing Airport operations, meet compliance with current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standards, and accommodate existing and forecasted aviation demand. The number of aircraft operations (i.e., aircraft arrivals and departures) at the Airport is expected to increase in the future; however, the number of future aircraft operations would be the same with or without the proposed project because the project does not include any components that would induce aircraft operations. That is, the forecast growth in future aircraft operations would be anticipated to occur with or without the proposed project. Similarly, future-year operations by ground support equipment and other vehicles at the Airport are expected to be the same regardless of implementation of the proposed project. Operation of the proposed project would not introduce new sources of GHG emissions at the Airport and the proposed improvements would not, by themselves, lead to increases in GHG emissions in the future. GHG emissions from aircraft and ground-support equipment would increase in the future from projected increases in aircraft activity levels, which would occur with or without the proposed project.
The environmental impacts of the proposed project are identified and comprehensively evaluated in the Draft IS/MND in accordance with CEQA requirements. The comment does not provide evidence to support claims that the Draft IS/MND does not adequately address the environmental impacts of the proposed project, and no further response is required.
Response 2B
The comment asserts that the Draft IS/MND failed to consider cumulative impacts, including cumulative impacts related to GHG emissions associated with construction of the Airport and subsequent modifications to the Airport to accommodate growing flight volume.
In response to this comment, CEQA requires an evaluation of a project’s potential contributions to cumulative impacts, in addition to proposed project-specific impacts. Cumulative impacts, as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15355, refer to two or more individual effects that, when taken together, are “considerable” or that compound or increase other environmental impacts. A cumulative impact from several projects is the change in the environment that would result from the incremental impact of the project when added to the impact of other closely related past, present, or reasonably foreseeable future 372

projects. As discussed on page 148 of the Draft/IS/MND, and as referenced in the comment, the impacts of the proposed project are mitigated to a less-than-significant level, limited to the construction phase of the proposed project, and generally site specific. Any ongoing impacts of the Airport that could combine with the impacts of the proposed project are reflected in the resource-specific descriptions of the environmental setting. No other projects are proposed that would cause impacts that could combine with those of the proposed project to cause or contribute to a significant cumulative impact. The environmental impacts of the proposed project are identified and comprehensively evaluated in the Draft IS/MND in accordance with CEQA requirements. The comment does not provide evidence to support claims that the Draft IS/MND does not adequately address cumulative impacts related to implementation of the proposed project, and no further response is required.

Letter 3 Mark Johnson
Response 3A
The comment states that the draft Airport Master Plan and related environmental documents should consider and study removal of the Airport and restoration of the Airport property. The comment asserts that maintaining a highly subsidized and limited value airport in an environmentally sensitive location is unacceptable, and removal of the Airport and restoration of the Airport property could benefit the Upper Truckee River, Lake Tahoe, fish and wildlife, and residents and visitors who live in or visit the community for its unique natural assets.
The comment is noted and will be provided to decision makers for consideration in their deliberations on approval of the proposed project. There is no requirement under planning law or CEQA to consider or analyze removal of the Airport and restoration of the Airport property. The comment does not pertain to the adequacy, accuracy, or completeness of the Draft IS/MND’s analysis of the physical environmental impacts of the proposed project and thus does not require further response. 375

Letter 4 Kristin Gunn
Response 4A
The comment expresses support for proposed future bicycle paths and expresses concerns regarding a purported absence of notifications to the commenter regarding aircraft operations, which the commenter asserts can produce noise and safety concerns due to the close proximity of aircraft overflights to the commenter’s residence.
The proposed project includes a series of improvements to the Airport that are intended to improve the safety of existing Airport operations, meet compliance with current FAA design standards, and accommodate existing and forecasted aviation demand. The number of aircraft operations (i.e., aircraft arrivals and departures) at the Airport is expected to increase in the future; however, the number of future aircraft operations would be the same with or without the proposed project because the project does not include any components that would induce aircraft operations. Notifications related to aircraft operations are not a component of the proposed project and are not within the scope of the Draft IS/MND’s analysis of the physical environmental impacts of the proposed project. However, the comment is noted and will be provided to decision makers for consideration in their deliberations on approval of the proposed project. The comment does not pertain to the adequacy, accuracy, or completeness of the Draft IS/MND’s analysis of the physical environmental impacts of the proposed project and thus does not require further response.

Letter 5 California Department of Transportation
Response 5A
The comment states that a transportation impact study should be conducted to analyze potential intersection safety impacts at the two uncontrolled Airport road intersections on Emerald Bay Road (U.S.
Route 50). The comment asserts that the potential intersection safety impacts could result from operation of the Airport parking garage proposed under the Airport Master Plan. The comment states that if the study determines that improvements are needed to maintain intersection safety due to increased conflicting traffic volumes, an Intersection and Signal Operations Analysis (ISOAP) study will need to be completed to identify the appropriate improvements to be constructed at each location. The comment does not question the adequacy, accuracy, or completeness of the Draft IS/MND’s analysis of the physical environmental impacts of the proposed project; nonetheless, the City has considered whether an ISOAP study would improve the informational value of the analysis and has concluded that, at this time, it would not.
The transportation analysis in the Draft IS/MND (pages 137 through 138) considered potential intersection safety impacts in the context of topic c), concluding that the proposed project would cause no impact as a result of causing or contributing to a substantial increase in transportation hazards due to a geometric design feature (such as dangerous intersections) relative to the baseline condition because the proposed project would not alter any existing facilities or infrastructure. The comment correctly observes that the Airport Master Plan anticipates future development of a parking garage. However, as stated in Table 7-2, TVL Combined Capital Improvement Plan, on page 7-9 of the Draft Airport Master Plan,1 the design and construction of the proposed Airport parking garage is not proposed for development until the Phase III (Long Term, 2034-2043) planning period.
Caltrans conducts Intersection and Signal Operations Analysis (ISOAP) studies to inform evaluations of intersection alternatives to identify the most effective and safe solution, considering such factors as traffic operations, safety, and all users, including motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit. 2 Page 4 of the
guide explains that “ISOAP applies to new intersections or the major modification of existing intersections and local street interchanges…on the State Highway System.” The guide provides four examples of conditions under which ISOAP applies:
• Connecting a new public road, private road, or high-volume (average daily traffic volumes of 1,000 or greater) driveway to a state highway or a new interchange to a freeway. • Changing the type of traffic control, such as from stop-control to signal-control or from a two-way stop to all-way stop.
• Installing a pedestrian hybrid beacon at an intersection. • Making major physical changes to intersection approaches, including at ramp terminals, such as adding a leg to an intersection or widening to provide an additional through or turn lane. 1 Woolpert, 2024, Draft Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan, Prepared for the City of South Lake Tahoe.

Appendix F. Comments and Responses
Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan F-17 ESA / D202100181.08 Final IS/MND
Because the proposed project includes none of these conditions, the ISOAP process does not apply to the project. Further, page 1 of the guide explains that the ISOAP “presents a data-driven, performance-based framework.” Specific details about what development of a parking garage could entail a decade or more into the future are not precisely clear at this time and determining how its construction and operation might affect roadway conditions on U.S. Route 50 could more effectively be assessed during project design and implementation. It would be entirely speculative to guess what traffic operations, safety, and user needs should be factored into a study now for it to reasonably inform decision-makers or members of the public about the potential environmental consequences of the proposed parking garage between 2034 and 2043.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15145 is clear: “If, after thorough investigation, a Lead Agency finds that a particular impact is too speculative for evaluation, the agency should note its conclusion and terminate discussion of the impact.” When responding to comments, a lead agency is not required to conduct every test or perform all studies that may be sought by commenters (Public Resources Code Section 21091[d][2][B]; 14 California Code of Regulations Section 15204[a]). Accordingly, the City declines to prepare the requested ISOAP study now because the analysis as a whole better reflects a reasonable good faith effort at full disclosure without the speculation that completing a study would require.
Response 5B
The comment states that any project or work, including access modification and drainage work, that takes place along or within the State’s right of way (ROW) requires an encroachment permit issued by Caltrans.
The City acknowledges this information and is committed to complying with all relevant legal requirements related to work within Caltrans’ ROW.

Re: Comments on Draft Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan Update (2025–2045) Dear Mr. Dickinson,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed update to the Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan. The League to Save Lake Tahoe (“League”), also known as Keep Tahoe Blue, is Tahoe’s oldest and largest nonprofit environmental advocacy organization. Our mission is to protect and restore the environmental health, sustainability, and scenic beauty of Lake Tahoe through advocacy, education, and collaboration.
We appreciate the City’s commitment to environmental stewardship and the preparation of a CEQA Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the proposed Master Plan.
Below are our comments and recommendations based on review of the IS/MND and comparison to prior planning concepts.
Areas of Concern
Climate & Greenhouse Gas Emissions
While we commend inclusion of electric aircraft charging infrastructure and EV stations, we remain concerned about the cumulative climate implications of additional hangars and expanded landside facilities. Even without scheduled commercial service, increased hangar capacity could incentivize more private jet activity—the most emissions-intensive mode of travel.
This conflicts with the City’s Strategic Priority for carbon neutrality and TRPA’s transportation policies. We urge the City to:
x Condition any new hangar development on demonstrated demand that does not increase annual operations beyond the current level.
x Require adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and electrification strategies as prerequisites for expansion.
Water Quality & SEZ Protection
The Airport remains a major impediment to full restoration of the Upper Truckee River and associated SEZs. While the proposed plan avoids direct river work, any expansion must not compromise ongoing and future restoration projects. We request:
x Coordination with Tahoe Resource Conservation District and TRPA to ensure compatibility with Johnson Meadow restoration and the planned multi-use path. x Full wetland delineation and avoidance of SEZ disturbance beyond existing paved areas.
LETTER 6

Transportation and Circulation
The inclusion of a multi-use path is a long overdue and much-needed aspect of the project and we fully support this regardless of the outcome of the larger Master Plan update. We understand that the proposed parking garage is being considered as a potential mobility hub with associated transit service. We request:
x Making the IS/MND clear that the parking garage is only for non-airport related uses. x If a parking garage is separately proposed for development, a decrease in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) must be demonstrated.
Wildlife & Habitat
We support mitigation measures BIO-1 through BIO-4 but emphasize the need for rigorous implementation and monitoring. Sensitive habitats and special-status species occur on-site; any failure in BMPs could result in irreversible impacts.
Noise & Community Impacts
The IS/MND concludes noise impacts are less than significant; however, community concerns about helicopter tours and event-related surges persist. We recommend:
x A comprehensive noise monitoring and reporting program tied to Master Plan implementation.
x Evaluation of cumulative noise impacts if hangar development leads to increased operations.
Further Recommendations
x Analyze a true “No Action” alternative at the same level of detail as other alternatives. x Include enforceable conditions for GHG reduction (SAF, electrification) in all development phases.
x Require TRPA consultation prior to approval of any alternative that increases land coverage or vehicle trips.
x Establish a transparent public reporting system for noise, air quality, and water quality monitoring.
Thank you for considering these comments. The League looks forward to continued engagement to ensure that the Airport Master Plan aligns with the community’s environmental priorities and the long-term protection of Lake Tahoe.
Sincerely,
Gavin Feiger
Policy Director

Response 6A
The comment expresses concerns regarding potential cumulative climate effects related to hangars and landside facilities proposed under the Airport Master Plan. The comment asserts that increased hangar capacity could incentivize more private jet activity, which the commenter states in the most emissionsintensive mode of travel. The comment asserts that this purported increase in private jet activity and related GHG effects conflicts with the City’s Strategic Priority for carbon neutrality and TRPA’s transportation policies. The comment requests the City to condition any new hangar development on demonstrated demand that does not increase annual operations beyond the current level and require adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and electrification strategies as prerequisites for expansion.
In response to this comment, as discussed on pages 92 through 94 of the Draft IS/MND, the proposed project includes a series of improvements to the Airport that are intended to improve the safety of existing Airport operations, meet compliance with current FAA design standards, and accommodate existing and forecasted aviation demand. The number of aircraft operations (i.e., aircraft arrivals and departures) at the Airport is expected to increase in the future; however, the number of future aircraft operations would be the same with or without the proposed project because the project does not include any components that would induce aircraft operations. The comment does not provide factual evidence to support the claim that additional hangars or landside facilities proposed under the Airport Master Plan could incentivize increased private jet activity and result in increased GHG emissions. The environmental impacts of the proposed project, including impacts related to GHG emissions, are identified and comprehensively evaluated in the Draft IS/MND in accordance with CEQA requirements and in accordance with applicable City and TRPA policies. No further response is required.
Response 6B
The comment states that the Airport remains a major impediment to full restoration of the Upper Truckee River and associated stream environment zones (SEZs). The comment states that, while the proposed project avoids direct river work, any expansion must not compromise ongoing and future restoration projects. The commenter requests coordination with Tahoe Resource Conservation District and TRPA to ensure compatibility with Johnson Meadow restoration and the planned multi-use path and completion of a full wetland delineation and avoidance of SEZ disturbance beyond existing paved areas.
In response to this comment, as discussed on page 56 of the Draft IS/MND, any projects implemented under the Airport Master Plan would be required to comply with existing TRPA, federal, and state regulations; permitting requirements; and environmental review procedures that protect SEZs, wetlands, and other sensitive habitats. Implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-2 and BIO-4, described on pages 57 through 58 of the Draft IS/MND would protect the water quality in the Upper Truckee River and would ensure that any potential temporary or permanent impacts to riparian habitats and waters of the United States or state would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. The environmental impacts of the proposed project, including impacts related to aquatic and/or biological resources, are identified and comprehensively evaluated in the Draft IS/MND in accordance with CEQA requirements, and no further response is required.

Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan F-21 ESA / D202100181.08 Final IS/MND
Response 6C
The comment requests that the IS/MND clearly state that the proposed Airport parking garage is only for non-airport related uses, and if a parking garage is separately proposed for development, a decrease in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) must be demonstrated.
The proposed Airport parking garage and inclusive transit stop is included as an element of the Airport Master Plan and is anticipated to serve airport users and non-airport users. Thus, it would not be accurate to state that the parking garage would be exclusively operated for non-Airport use. With regard to VMT, as discussed on page 138 of the Draft IS/MND, CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b) states that transportation projects that reduce, or have no impact on, vehicle miles traveled should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in an increase in aircraft operations or an increase in the number of Airport employees.
Consequently, the proposed project would not result in an increase in VMT, and the impact would be less than significant. The environmental impacts of the proposed project, including impacts related to VMT, are identified and comprehensively evaluated in the Draft IS/MND in accordance with CEQA requirements, and no further response is required.
Response 6D
The comment expresses support for mitigation measures BIO-1 through BIO-4 included in the Draft IS/MND (pages 56 through 58) and emphasizes the need for rigorous implementation and monitoring of the measures. The comment is noted.
Response 6E
The comment states that there are ongoing community concerns about helicopter tours and event-related surges -- presumably related to the Airport. The comment requests establishment of a comprehensive noise monitoring and reporting program tied to Airport Master Plan implementation and evaluation of cumulative noise impacts if hangar development leads to increased operations.
In response to this comment, as discussed in Response 6A above, the proposed project does not include any components that would induce aircraft operations. No helicopter tours or events are proposed by the project. Consequently, a noise monitoring and reporting program tied to Airport Master Plan implementation is neither necessary nor required. The comment does not pertain to the adequacy, accuracy, or completeness of the Draft IS/MND’s analysis of the physical environmental impacts of the proposed project and thus does not require further response.
Response 6F
The comment includes additional recommendations, including evaluation of a “No Action” alternative; inclusion of enforceable conditions for GHG reduction in all development phases; required TRPA consultation prior to approval of any alternative that increases land coverage or vehicle trips; and establishment of a public reporting system for noise, air quality, and water quality monitoring.
With regard to the recommended evaluation of a “No Action” alternative, as discussed on page 2 of the Draft IS/MND, the Airport Master Plan process included consideration of various development options for meeting facility requirements at the Airport over the next 20 years. The objective of this analysis was 387
Appendix F. Comments and Responses
Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan F-22 ESA / D202100181.08 Final IS/MND
to identify a set of feasible development alternatives that enable the Airport to meet projected levels of aviation demand as well as enhance the safety and level of service for tenants, customers, employees, and visitors. Each alternative was evaluated to provide recommended improvements that meet demand and provide for future flexibility. These alternatives ranged from a “no project” alternative to alternatives that varied substantially in the number of additions, removals, and/or modifications to existing Airport facilities, including airside, landside, and support facilities. After receiving public input and evaluating each alternative based on economic, operational, environmental, and social benefits and drawbacks, the South Lake Tahoe City Council endorsed a preferred alternative. The preferred alternative, which comprises the “proposed project” was evaluated in the Draft IS/MND. Thus, a no project alternative was appropriately considered in the planning process for the Airport Master Plan.
With regard to environmental review of alternatives, CEQA requires that when a preliminary analysis of a proposed project (e.g., an initial study) determines the proposed project could result in significant environmental effects that will be analyzed in an EIR, the EIR shall include identification and evaluation of a range of alternatives to the project that would feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project, as well as a no project alternative to allow decision-makers to compare the environmental effects of approving the project with the effects of not approving the project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6). With regard to the lead agency’s decision on whether to prepare an EIR or a mitigated negative declaration, CEQA provides that when the initial study has identified potentially significant effects on the environment, but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant before the proposed negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the public agency that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on the environment, a mitigated negative declaration may be prepared (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6). As documented in the Draft IS/MND prepared for the proposed project, the potential significant impacts of the proposed project would be reduced to a less-thansignificant level with implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the Draft IS/MND and required as a condition of project approval. Consequently, the proposed project does not require preparation of an EIR and the EIR-specific requirement to identify and evaluate alternatives to the project, including evaluation of a no project alternative.
With regard to the recommended inclusion of enforceable conditions for GHG reduction in all development phases (presumably in reference to implementation of the Airport Master Plan), as discussed in Section VIII, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, of the Draft IS/MND (pages 90 through 94), neither construction nor operation of the proposed project would generate GHG emissions in exceedance of applicable thresholds, and impacts related to GHG emissions would be less than significant with no mitigation required.
Moreover, implementation of the proposed project would be conducted in adherence with all applicable regulations and policies related to reduction of GHG emissions. Consequently, additional conditions for GHG reduction are neither warranted nor required.
With regard to the recommendation to require TRPA consultation prior to approval of any alternative that increases land coverage or vehicle trips, no such alternative is proposed. TRPA has reviewed the Draft 388
Appendix F. Comments and Responses
Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan F-23 ESA / D202100181.08 Final IS/MND
Airport Master Plan and related environmental documents prepared for the proposed project3 and would be consulted for any future Airport plans or projects within the purview of TRPA’s land use and environmental regulatory authority.
Finally, with regard to the recommended establishment of a public reporting system for noise, air quality, and water quality monitoring, the comment provides no basis for the establishment and implementation of this system. The Airport operates in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations related to noise, air quality, and water quality. Establishment and implementation of the suggested reporting system is therefore neither warranted nor required. The comment does not pertain to the adequacy, accuracy, or completeness of the Draft IS/MND’s analysis of the physical environmental impacts of the proposed project and thus does not require further response.
3 The City of South Lake Tahoe submitted an Initial Environmental Checklist to TRPA, upon review of which TRPA determined the Master Plan “does not require TRPA approval or action at this time.” TRPA’s determination is documented in correspondence dated September 3, 2025 and included in Appendix D of this Final IS/MND. 389

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Pavement Management Program (PMP) was completed by Woolpert Inc. (Woolpert) for the Lake Tahoe Airport (TVL or the Airport) to update the “Pavement Evaluation Study Pavement Maintenance/Management Plan” prepared August 2017 by Renard W. Brandley.
This pavement condition report presents the findings of a comprehensive inspection conducted at TVL in South Lake Tahoe, California for the purpose of assessing the condition of its runway, taxiways, and aprons and is funded under Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grant No. 3-06-0249-047-2022 with a city match. The inspection utilized American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D5340 Standard Test Method for Airport Pavement Condition Index Surveys guidelines to assign Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings based on observed distresses. The PMP provides recommendations on maintenance needs for each airport pavement surface over a ten-year planning period.
The elements scoped for this PMP include:
• PCI reporting
• Aircraft Classification Rating - Pavement Classification Rating (ACR-PCR) to assess the load bearing capacity (pavement strength) of the airfield pavements
• Maintenance and rehabilitation plan scheduling
This report is intended to be used to make informed decisions about maintenance and rehabilitation needs at TVL.
Pavement Condition Index
A visual pavement inspection was completed September 2023 by Woolpert and followed ASTM D5340 guidelines. This standard provides guidelines for conducting PCI surveys, including procedures for performing a detailed visual survey of the pavement to identify various types of surface distresses.
The types, severities, and extents of the identified distresses were then recorded using standardized forms and software designed and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for pavement management systems. The recorded data was used to calculate a PCI value of each pavement section. Each type of distress has a different impact on the overall pavement condition, and the PCI was computed using a standardized formula that accounts for these factors.
The results of the PCI inspection in this survey provide a comprehensive overview of the pavement's condition. The PCI values are then put into a range of condition levels to categorize the condition of the pavements and to guide maintenance and rehabilitation decisions.
Maintenance responses to different levels of pavement deterioration defined by a PCI value vary based on the specific distress types and extent of damage observed. Below are recommended maintenance responses based on PCI ranges in accordance with the guidelines in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5380-7B Airport Pavement Management Program (PMP) • PCI 75-100 (Very Good): Routine maintenance: Crack sealing, joint resealing, and minor patching to preserve the pavement and prevent water infiltration.
• PCI 65-74 (Good): Preventive maintenance: Surface treatments (e.g., fog seal and slurry seal, to extend pavement life and improve surface condition).
• PCI 55-64 (Fair): Selective rehabilitation: Patching, localized repairs, and thin overlays to address surface distresses and maintain ride quality.
• PCI 45-54 (Poor): Rehabilitation: Consider more extensive rehabilitation, such as mill and overlay or partial depth repairs, to restore pavement structural capacity.
• PCI Below 45 (Very Poor): Reconstruction: Full-depth reconstruction or major rehabilitation to address severe distresses and safety concerns.

Maintenance and Repair (M&R) Planning
M&R planning is a very important part of maintaining airport pavements, as airport pavements require ongoing maintenance and upgrades to ensure they remain safe and operational. A well-planned M&R plan helps identify and prioritize these needs and it allows time to allocate specific funds for M&R projects.
The PCI data collected for TVL indicate taxiway conditions require more immediate attention than other airport pavements (except for Taxiway D which was recently rehabilitated). Runway 18/36 is in better condition than most of the taxiways but needs future attention to extend its life. Aprons overall are in good to very good condition. The area South of the terminal ramp is the exception and is in poor condition.
A 2024 crack seal, seal coat, and remarking of Taxiways A, E, F, and G will address some immediate M&R needs.
Additionally, a major runway rehabilitation is planned for in 2028 followed by the rehabilitation of Taxiway A and associated connectors in 2030. These projects are contained in the Airport’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) in Appendix F.
This M&R plan will help manage airport assets effectively within available budget. The PMP will facilitate prioritization of funds based on the condition and lifespan of existing infrastructure, ensuring that resources are used efficiently. It contains the recommendations for improvements each year spanning from 2024 to 2033 for TVL pavements.
Pavement Classification Rating
The evaluation of the existing pavement sections throughout the airport were based on previous construction drawings, reconstruction and maintenance drawings, evaluation study reports, and FAA files that were collected. Subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, nondestructive testing, and geotechnical engineering analyses were completed in August 2017 by Renard W. Brandley as well as for the apron and hangar taxilane reconstruction projects in 2017 and 2021 respectively. This information was utilized in conjunction with the existing fleet mix to determine the strength of each of the pavement sections at TVL and their ability to support the existing fleet mix. This analysis is completed through the ACR-PCR determination utilizing the FAA Rigid and Flexible Iterative Elastic Layered Design (FAARFIELD) 2.1.1 (build 12/21/2023) computer program based on analysis of traffic data. The existing pavement sections and characteristics of the subgrade soils were inserted into the program to determine the design aircraft that can be safely permitted on the existing pavements at TVL. The PCR value for Runway 18/36 was calculated to be 330/F/C/X/T and is further described in later sections.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study and report is to update a PMP produced for TVL located in the City of South Lake Tahoe, California by Reinard W. Brandley in August 2017. Public Law 103-305 requires airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) have a PMP to qualify for federal grant funding. Airports receiving federal funds for pavement projects are required to implement a Pavement Maintenance-Management Program (PMMP) designed to preserve the pavement's structural integrity and prolong its useful life, minimizing the need for extensive repairs or reconstruction.
Performing a pavement condition assessment and analysis coupled with the development of a Capital Investment Plan (CIP) provide major elements needed to meet the requisites to participate in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) AIP. This report includes an inventory of pavement assets including the runway, taxiways, aprons, roads, and parking lots.
Woolpert Inc. followed the recommendations of FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5380-7B, Airport Pavement Management Program, to produce this report.
Woolpert Inc. performed an evaluation of the condition of pavement assets through a visual inspection to identify distresses and their severity. This collected data was entered into a database created by Woolpert Inc. using FAA PAVEAIR software. This software uses pavement performance models to determine the PCI and the Structural Condition Index (SCI) for each pavement section.
As a result of the record review, pavement inspection, and asset analysis, recommended maintenance and rehabilitation treatments were developed for the CIP, including timing and cost estimates. The CIP outlines the schedule and sequence for implementing the recommended treatments based on priority rankings, funding availability, and operational constraints.
The FAA has detailed specifications for pavement management in the following documents:
• AC 150/5380-7B, Airport Pavement Management Program
• AC 150/5380-6C, Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airports Pavements • AC 150/5335-5D, Standardized Method of Reporting Airport Pavement Strength (PCR) According to FAA AC 150-5380-7B, an airport PMP has several benefits, including:
• Increased pavement useful life.
• An objective and consistent evaluation of the condition of a network of pavements. • A systematic and documentable engineering bases for determining pavement M&R needs including consideration of future operational needs and/or planned airport expansion projects. • Identification of budget requirements necessary to maintain pavement functionality. • Documentation on the present and future condition of the pavements. • A life cycle cost analysis for various pavement M&R alternatives. • Identification of the impact on the pavement if no major repairs are conducted.
An effective PMP calculates when pavements will likely reach response triggering conditions. Furthermore, the PMP will help identify the most appropriate approach—between rehabilitation or reconstruction—by assessing available resources and funds. The PMP utilizes data from a pavement condition rating system (PCI and ACR-PCR) that helps predict future conditions and indicate whether the distress is load or environmentally related. This PMMP will help avoid unnecessary or ineffective maintenance applications and promote the best use of available funds.
General Information
By systematically evaluating the condition of pavements and scheduling M&R based on need rather than a reactive approach, PMPs can help reduce long-term costs. These plans can also help prioritize projects, based on available funding.
PMPs help airport operators manage their pavement assets more effectively by tracking pavement conditions, maintenance history, and performance over time. This information can inform decisions about rehabilitation, reconstruction, or other improvements. PMPs are critical to an airport’s compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.

maintaining pavement conditions, airports can ensure smoother operations, reduce aircraft wear and tear, and enhance the overall user experience. Properly implemented PMPs extend the lifespan of pavements, reducing the frequency of major repairs or replacements. Overall, a well-developed PMP help airports manage their pavements effectively, leading to improved safety, reduced costs, and better overall performance.
As demonstrated in Figure 1 investing in preventative pavement maintenance results in significant cost savings over the long term. It helps to preserve the pavement in good condition and avoid more costly repairs or replacements. While preventative maintenance requires regular investments, these costs are typically lower than the costs associated with reactive repairs, which involve more extensive work and higher material and labor expenses. Furthermore, preventative maintenance projects can be planned and scheduled during off-peak times, minimizing disruption to airport operations and reducing the impact to airport users. This proactive approach drives cost savings by avoiding the need for emergency repairs that may require closures or restrictions.

Figure 2 illustrates the concept of active pavement preservation—a proactive approach to maintaining airport pavement infrastructure. The concept focuses on applying the right treatment to the right pavement at the right time to extend pavement life, enhance performance, and save money over the long term. Pavement preservation conserves a surface’s performance and serviceability rather than simply extending its life. Preservation involves monitoring the pavement's condition and performance over time to determine the most appropriate maintenance strategies. 397

Pavement History
The historical pavement data discussed below refers to previous projects constructed at TVL. The data was compiled from past construction documents, record drawings, and any other airport records made obtainable by airport staff. TVL was constructed in 1958 by El Dorado County, California in preparation for the 1960 Winter Olympics; this event spurred sudden and widespread commercial and residential development throughout the county. TVL started operating in the summer of 1959 with a 5,900-foot runway which was extended to 8,541 feet in 1962. In 1983, TVL was sold to the City of South Lake Tahoe by El Dorado County. Summers at TVL are warm with maximum temperatures reaching from 62°F to 80°F; the winters are long, cold, and snowy with maximum temperatures from 43°F to 53°F and minimum temperatures averaging 22°F between December and February. The airport averages 50 days per year below freezing.
The existing airport pavements include Runway 18/36, parallel Taxiway A, adjoining taxiway connectors, and general aviation aprons. Each of these airfield pavements were initially constructed in the 1950s. Runway 18/36 was last reconstructed in 2008. The parallel Taxiway A was constructed in 1958 and last rehabilitated (via overlay) in 1990. The taxiway connectors were initially constructed in 1958 through 1963 and connectors B, E, H, J, and K were last reconstructed and overlayed from 1968 through 1990. Taxiway F was last reconstructed in 1970, and Taxiway G was last reconstructed in 2016. Taxiway D, Taxilane D, and South Hangar Taxilanes were initially constructed in 1994 and were last rehabilitated in 2022 through 2023. The general aviation aprons were initially constructed in 1950 through 1974 and were reconstructed by phases in 2009 through 2020. Previous maintenance records for each of the airfield pavements are not available. See Appendix C for the summary of pavement sections and pavement history. 398

Aprons
TVL has approximately 80,790 square yards of apron space that is divided by use. The southern portion of the apron area is approximately 11,770 square yards and has an asphalt concrete surface course. This area is adjacent to the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) and California Shock Trauma Air Rescue (CalSTAR) facilities. Although there are no aircraft tie-downs located in this area, it is available for temporary aircraft storage and provides terminal apron access for aircraft in the T-hangars.
The center portion of the apron (or terminal apron) is positioned directly in front of the terminal building and is approximately 9,130 square yards. This area is constructed of Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) and is used primarily for temporary aircraft storage by transient (visiting) pilots.
The northern apron is the largest apron area and is approximately 59,890 square yards, constructed of asphalt concrete.
This area is adjacent to the Fixed Based Operator (FBO) and used primarily for its services (aircraft storage, fueling, maintenance, etc.). There are currently 127 aircraft tie-down anchors located on this apron.
Hangar Taxilanes and Taxilane D
TVL has five hangar taxilanes that provide access to the six hangar structures south of the main terminal. These taxilanes tie into a perpendicular taxilane that provides access to the parallel taxiway via Taxiway D.
Each of the hangar taxilanes has approximately 1,800 square yards of asphalt concrete and Taxilane D has approximately 4,700 square yards of asphalt concrete.
PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX
PCI is the most common method used to visually, consistently, and repeatably assess the current pavement surface condition of different airfield pavements. PCI is a rating of the existing surface condition of a pavement section and determines current pavement capacity and condition. Periodic PCI determinations on the same pavement will exhibit the change in surface condition and distress severity over time. Frequent data collection and recording helps determine the current condition of the pavement; these data inform the planning and selection of the most appropriate pavement M&R response with the given resources. A pavement that has a high PCI rating is an indicator the pavement is in good condition and a pavement with low PCI rating is an indicator the pavement is in poor condition.
Methodology
PCI surveys were performed September 2023 for all TVL pavement sections. The surveys were performed using the PCI methodology developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and outlined in the current edition of ASTM D5340, Standard Test Method for Airport Condition Index Surveys. This document defines distress types, severity levels, and methods for measuring and recording distresses.
The Airport’s pavements were separated into sections based on the type of pavement (asphalt, concrete) and function (runway, taxiway, apron, and so forth). They were further divided by construction date and maintenance history. Woolpert segmented pavement areas based on how an individual pavement section will be managed. For example, if an apron was constructed in two different years, but both portions are characterized by similar distress types, quantities, and resulting comparable PCI values, the sections were combined into one.
Sections are then further divided into sample units which are more manageable for the inspection procedure. To achieve a statistically reliable PCI value, it is not required to inspect 100 percent of the sample units in a section. A set number of randomly chosen sample units are selected based on established criteria outlined in ASTM D5340. The sampling rates used during this study are shown in Table 3.

Table 4 lists the distress types recognized in ASTM D5340. The list separates asphalt and concrete pavement distresses and identifies the related cause (load, climate/durability, other) as designated by the software. Load-related distresses are caused by over-stressed traffic loads applied to the surface. Climate/durability-related distresses are a result of exposure to the environment. Other related distresses are caused by actions not related to load or climate such damage from oil and fuel spills or material related distress such as alkali–silica and alkali–carbonate reactivity. 401

The industry-established PCI method was used to rate the existing surface condition of the pavement sections indicating their functional performance. Based on these conventional PCI values, ranges that relate to appropriate maintenance responses are recommended to allow time to plan project development and funding. This information will enable TVL management to take a proactive approach to pavement management, ultimately enhancing the overall performance and sustainability of the airport infrastructure. Figure 3 below shows the recommended PCI rating scale and the maintenance response threshold by PCI value.

PCI Section Map
Appendix E contains a color-coded maps of the PCI results that correspond to the rating scale shown in Figure 3. There is a map of the current PCI values and maps that depict 5 years and 10 years without maintenance being performed on the pavements.
PCI Inspection
The PCI data were collected and uploaded in the FAA’s PAVEAIR website for TVL. See Appendix D for the exhibit titled “Pavement Maintenance Management Plan Project Section Map,” showing the precise sample units surveyed to conduct the PCI inspection at TVL.
Table 5 shows the summary of PCI for each pavement section at TVL.
Over the last few decades, the FAA, USACE, and the U.S. Air Force have cooperated to define the distresses common in pavements that can be classified and quantified to determine the condition of pavements that has comparative value on a national basis.
During a PCI survey, the inspectors identify the distresses and determine the severity and volume. These data are entered into a program that establishes a deduct value. Historical pavement section data helps compute a more accurate deterioration rate. Keeping a comprehensive history of pavement sections over many years improves PMP calculations.
PCI values are important in prioritizing, funding, and executing maintenance and rehabilitation on a pavement section. A summary of pavement history at TVL can be found in Appendix C. 403

PAVEMENT CLASSIFICATION RATING (PCR)
The FAA has developed AC 150/5335-5D to determine the PCR on airport pavements. With this method of evaluation, the airfield pavements are assigned a PCR, which is dependent on the pavement section and soil strength and represents the strength and bearing capacity of the pavement section. PCR is a number that expresses the load-carrying capacity of a pavement for a specified aircraft operation. ACR has been developed by aircraft manufacturers to represent the relative effect of an aircraft at a given configuration on a pavement structure. The ACR-PCR system ensures both aircraft and pavement will be able to utilize their maximum extent without detrimental effect to the airfield pavements. Aircraft with ACR less than or equal to the PCR will be able to operate without any weight restrictions See Appendix B for the ACRPCR values for the different pavement sections at TVL.
Aircraft Fleet Mix and Traffic
Forecasts of annual departures by airplane type are needed for design and evaluation of airfield pavements. The Airport fleet mix presented in Table 6 contains annual departures and growth rates that are based on projections included in the FAA Terminal Area Forecasts (TAF). The TAF is the official forecast of aviation activity at all airports in the NPIAS. The aircraft fleet mix was determined using data provided by the FAA Traffic Flow Management System Counts (TFMSC) database, records from Virtower, and the fleet mix developed for the apron reconstruction project completed in AIP Grant No. 3-08-0249-041-2018. Data was collected from 2017 to 2023 and an average annual operation was determined for each aircraft type. Aircraft of similar maximum takeoff weight and gear configuration were grouped together into representative aircraft groups, and all aircraft greater than 47,000 pounds were grouped together to reach the annual departures needed to be considered as regular use. Only regular use aircraft, defined as having annual operations greater than or equal to 500, were included in the fleet mix, except for the CRJ 100/200 aircraft since the growth rate for aircraft over 47,000 pounds is projected to exceed 250 annual departures within the next five years. Aircraft growth rates, based on the values provided in TVL’s Airport Pavement Evaluation Study PMMP (dated August 2017 by Reinard W. Brandley) and the TFMSC database, were applied to the aircraft fleet mix. Based on this historical information, a 2% annual growth rate was utilized for aircraft weighing less than 25,000 pounds, and a 3% annual growth rate was used for aircraft weighing more than 25,000 pounds but less than 50,000 pounds.

PCR Calculations and Inspection
In accordance with FAA AC 150/5320-6G Airport Pavement Design and Evaluation, all existing pavements were assessed using industry-standard methods for evaluating pavement strength. The FAARFIELD software, version 2.1.1, was employed for this analysis to inspect pavement conditions and calculate the Pavement Condition Rating (PCR). This technical approach provided a thorough evaluation of pavement strength, considering factors such as pavement layer thickness, material quality, and subgrade strength.
PCR values were computed for each pavement section using FAARFIELD, with a design life of 20 years. The primary goals were to identify which aircraft types impose significant stress on the airfield pavements and to determine the 406

maximum allowable aircraft load for each section. The analysis was based on subgrade California Bearing Ratio (CBR), pavement Elastic Modulus (E), and the underlying layers, as reported in the August 2017 geotechnical investigation and supplemented by historical reports from apron reconstruction projects conducted over the past decade. Pavement thicknesses were also derived from the 2017 geotechnical data and historical as-built records. For pavement layers with elastic moduli or thicknesses below FAARFIELD's programmed values, user-defined layers were incorporated to accurately model the conditions. Pavement section thicknesses were capped at 20 inches, as historical data for TVL indicate pavement sections thicker than 20 inches serve frost protection purposes rather than structural strength.
A pass-to-traffic-cycle ratio of 1.00 was used, reflecting the assumption that one coverage is achieved for each aircraft pass, consistent with the standard gear configurations of the aircraft in the fleet mix.
Table 8 presents the PCR values for each pavement section at TVL, with supporting documentation provided in Appendix B.
It is noted that all pavement sections have experienced some degree of wear and deterioration since the 2017 investigation.
A re-evaluation of the ACR-PCR for each section is recommended following a new geotechnical investigation. A summary of the existing pavement conditions at TVL is provided in Appendix C, and the PCR reporting codes are listed in Table

MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION (M&R) PLANS AND BUDGET
REQUIREMENTS
M&R is a subset of CIP planning and should be reviewed and adjusted each year. PCI is the result of an airfield pavement surface evaluation and is required to be updated every three years. M&R and CIP planning is a dynamic process that requires periodic fine-tuning.
Table 10 shows the projected PCI value for each section of pavement if no M&R is completed. The PCI values are color coded to correspond to the rating scale in Figure 3.
TABLE 10: TEN YEAR PROJECTED DETERIORATION WITHOUT MAINTENANCE Source: Woolpert Inc.
An updated CIP was prepared for TVL that includes the scheduled pavement M&R for 2024 to 2033 and submitted to the FAA in February 2024 and was approved. See Appendix F for the current CIP.
Maintenance and Rehabilitation Options
The ideal M&R approach maintains pavements by identifying and rectifying defects early in the cycle of deterioration. This is the most efficient way to extend the life of pavement with the least required funding. Consequently, maintenance responses to different levels of pavement deterioration defined by PCI value vary based on the specific distress types and extent of damage observed. Maintenance required to restore pavement to good condition and extend the life costs less at higher PCI values than the cost at lower PCI values.
Routine maintenance, such as crack sealing, joint resealing, and minor patching to preserve the pavement and prevent water infiltration of the subsurface, should be accomplished earlier in pavement life cycles to lower overall cost of maintaining the life of the pavement.
If pavement has deteriorated to a level beyond routine maintenance but is still in good condition, it will require more extensive maintenance. This consists of maintenance applications such as surface treatments (e.g., fog seal and slurry seal) to extend pavement life and improve surface condition.
409
Pavement Maintenance-Management Program 18 Woolpert, Inc.
October 31, 2024 AIP Project No. 3-06-0249-047-2022
When pavements deteriorate beyond the level where routine maintenance is the correct response, selective rehabilitation will be required. This involves rehabilitation of specific areas of distress in a section, including patching, localized repairs, and thin overlays to address surface distresses and maintain pavement useability and safety. Maintenance response for pavement conditions worse than what can be restored by selective rehabilitation is more extensive, requiring a maintenance application to the entire section. This consists of projects such as mill and overlay or partial depth repairs to restore pavement structural capacity. Eventually, all pavements will reach a level of decline that will require full-depth reconstruction or major rehabilitation to address severe distresses and safety concerns.
The timing for each of these treatments will be based on cost-benefit analysis, safety, rideability, and aesthetic conditions.
The rehabilitation type and schedule to correct problems caused by surface distress is determined by engineering judgment, taking into consideration the cost-benefit, operational problems, and visual perception. For the current CIP scheduled for TVL’s different pavements to maintain the Airport’s full operation, see Appendix E.
Required Inspections and Record Keeping
The airport must record and retain complete information about all detailed inspections and maintenance performed until the pavement system is replaced. The types of distress, their locations, and remedial action, scheduled or performed, must be documented. The minimum information recorded includes:
• Inspection date
• Location
• Distress types
• Maintenance scheduled or performed
Other duties required to keep this report current include:
• Continue to update inspection dates with routine inspections. • Update inventory with any changes in the inventory.
• Conduct detailed review of construction history and provide updates. • Document any work performed on the airport since recent inspection. • Provide a method of tracking all maintenance activities that occur as a result of inspections. • Formulate a periodic crack and joint sealing program to extend the life of the pavement system by keeping water and debris from entering the cracks, which can lead to further damage and deterioration of the pavement.
The pavements at TVL have been maintained at a level ensuring them to be safe and functional for serving the flying public. Overall, the apron areas have a higher PCI rating than the runway and taxiways. The CIP reflects the needs and priority of the airport pavements and places the priority of the runway and taxiways higher than aprons.
When TVL pavements were constructed, particularly the parallel taxiway, the design engineer included saw cutting joints into the newly constructed pavement with the theory it would control cracking. However, saw cut joints introduced cracks into new pavement, lowering the overall PCI value of the pavement. Ultimately, this design choice has triggered the need for the airport to regularly apply crack fill earlier in the pavement life cycle. The CIP includes maintenance of Taxiway A including crack fill and a seal coat in 2024 followed by a major rehabilitation in 2030.
Although most of the aprons are in excellent condition, they are showing signs of oxidation. The loss of volatile compounds in the asphalt mixture will make the asphalt more brittle. New asphalt is flexible and withstands the stresses of traffic and temperature changes, while brittle asphalt is prone to cracking under the stresses of traffic and temperature changes. These differences result in cracks that allow water to penetrate and further damage the pavement. Apron deterioration can be mitigated with proper surface treatments including periodic crack filling and seal coats.
The FAA requires NPIAS airports to conduct PCI inspections every three years; it is recommended TVL’s PCI be updated in 2026. As the 2017 PMP was not entered into a standard pavement management database, this report cannot be compared to a previous study. The data collected in this study was entered into FAA’s PAVEAIR; similarly, the next update should follow FAA requirements (as outlined in AC 150/5380-7B) and be entered into TVL’s PAVEAIR’s database to improve future standard deterioration rate determinations. 410

Table 11 recommends specific maintenance projects by year and pavement section.
TABLE 11: RECOMMENDED PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND ESTIMATED COST *The unit cost is based on recently bid projects and include mobility costs.
In conclusion, the comprehensive assessment of the airport pavement has identified key areas where maintenance and rehabilitation are essential to preserving the structural integrity and safety of the airfield. By implementing the recommended maintenance strategies and prioritizing the necessary repairs, the airport will be able to extend the life of its pavement assets, reduce long-term costs, and ensure a safe operating environment for all users. Continuous monitoring and timely maintenance will be critical in sustaining optimal pavement conditions and supporting future growth and operational demands of the airport.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
1-1 History
Construction of the Lake Tahoe airport began in 1958 by the County of El Dorado, CA as part of the larger development of the community in preparation for the 1960 Winter Olympics. A building boom preceding the Olympics resulted in a flurry of commercial and residential development. El Dorado County began operation of the Airport in the summer of 1959. Originally, the runway was only 5,900 feet long, but was extended to 8,541 feet in length in 1962. In 1983, the City of South Lake Tahoe purchased the airport from El Dorado County.
The airport maintained commercial airline service operations until they were discontinued in 2001. Commercial airline operations peaked in 1978 with nearly 300,000 annual passenger enplanements. However, with airline deregulation later in that same year (1978) and restrictions adopted on the use of jet aircraft at the Airport, these operations began to decrease. In 1992, the Airport’s Master Plan Settlement Agreement (MPSA) was adopted and outlined additional limitations on aircraft noise, operations, and development on the airport property. The MPSA expired in October 2012, but certain provisions that addressed aircraft noise still apply to current operations.
1-2 Airport Layout
Lake Tahoe Airport consists of one runway and a parallel taxiway with several cross taxiways. Runway 18-36 is 100 feet wide by 8,541 feet long. The thresholds on both Runways 18 and 36 have been displaced due to obstructions in the northern and southern approach to the airport and keeping the Upper Truckee River out of the extended runway safety area on the north end of the airport, decreasing the effective length of each runway. Taxiways have been constructed to serve the runway and aprons. A large aircraft parking apron is in existence on the west side of the runway. The terminal apron and southern portion of the general aviation apron serves the larger business jets, and the northern portion of the general aviation apron serves the smaller general aviation aircraft. Tee hangars are located at the south end of the apron area. Access roads are available to serve the terminal building, tee hangar buildings, and the fixed base operator at the airport. Automobile parking lots have been developed on the west side of the airport. Portions of the airline terminal building have been converted to City offices. 1-3 Role of the Airport
Lake Tahoe Airport serves the general aviation and corporate aviation needs of the area. Noise requirements limit the type of turbojet aircraft that can use the airport to those which operate with the quieter engines. There is no commercial airline service into Lake Tahoe Airport at this time.
Emergency service flights are also based out of the Lake Tahoe Airport, providing helicopter EMS services for the surrounding community. The airport also serves 418

as a temporary staging area for firefighting helicopters during the summer months. 1-4 Pavement Composition
Runway 18-36, the associated taxiways serving the runway, and portions of the aircraft parking apron were constructed by El Dorado County in the late 1950’s.
Most of the pavements on the airport are flexible pavement consisting of asphaltic concrete pavement surfacing. Portland cement concrete pavement was used on the apron located directly in front of the terminal building. These Portland cement concrete pavements are 14 inches thick. The existing pavement sections are included in Chapter 2, Section 2-2.
1-5 Need for Study and Purpose of Test Program
Normally a pavement at an airport does not suddenly collapse and allow an aircraft to sink into the pavement unless the pavement is grossly underdesigned or some major defect occurs in the pavement section. The normal type of failure is a progressive failure which takes place over a period of time and gradually causes the pavement to deteriorate to a point where normal maintenance is no longer feasible. When a pavement reaches this condition of deterioration or failure it is normally strengthened or reconstructed in order that its life can be extended.
If the deterioration of a pavement section is allowed to progress to a point where actual failure of the subgrade or base materials occurs, then a strengthening overlay is not feasible until the failed areas are removed and reconstructed.
If rehabilitation of a pavement section is undertaken before subsection failures occur, then a strengthening overlay can be used effectively to extend the life of the pavement section.
It is almost always cost effective to anticipate pavement failures and overlay the sections or add to the existing pavement section before the failure actually occurs.
There are two major distress or failure types that occur on a pavement. One is surface distress and the other deep-seated distress. With asphalt pavements, surface distress displays itself as cracking, shoving, raveling, and rutting. With rigid pavements surface distress displays itself as spalling, corner cracking, and map cracking. When surface distress reaches a certain point, it is not feasible to overlay the pavement structure with new asphalt or new Portland cement concrete since the cracks and other defects will tend to reflect through the new overlay. It is necessary to repair the distressed sections and/or remove or replace the distressed sections prior to placing the overlay or new development. With flexible pavement sections a mill and fill operation produces a good underlying surface by removing the damaged flexible pavement and replacing it with new sections. With rigid pavements spall repairs, corner crack repairs, and reestablishment of load transfer at the joints is often necessary to provide an adequate foundation for an 419

overlay or new section.
Deep-seated failure results in failure under load of the subgrade soils, subsoils, and/or aggregate base course materials resulting from repeated aircraft operations. When a deep-seated failure occurs in a pavement section, it is necessary to reconstruct the total section. Fatigue Analysis methodologies have been developed where the timing of deep-seated failure of a pavement system under specified traffic conditions can be determined. Strengthening or rehabilitation of the pavement section should be undertaken 2 to 5 years prior to the forecast time of failure.
Fatigue analysis methodologies have been developed that can be used to predict remaining pavement life of a given pavement section under specified traffic.
Fatigue analysis is also used to develop pavement section requirements to support specified traffic for a specified life. Required input data for the fatigue analysis program are:
Thickness and type of each layer of the pavement section, including subgrade and subsoils
Existing and Forecast Traffic - type and operations
Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson's Ratio of each layer of pavement section and underlying subsoils and of potential materials to be considered for overlay or for reconstructed pavement sections.
Accurate pavement failure criteria
This type analysis can also forecast extended pavement life of a section with the placement of various types and thicknesses of overlay and/or various reconstructed sections.
In order to maintain efficient operation of this airport, it is necessary that all pavements being used by aircraft - runways, taxiways, and aprons - be maintained in good condition. In order to establish maintenance, strengthening, and/or rehabilitation programs for the airport and to allow for the orderly budgeting of maintenance and redevelopment funds, it is necessary that the Airport Owner be able to anticipate the remaining life of existing and new pavements under given operational conditions and to know when it will be necessary to apply strengthening overlays to or reconstruct existing pavements.
In order to provide this information on expected pavement life of existing pavements and the extended life for different overlay or reconstruction conditions, a detailed pavement evaluation study has been conducted. This study includes a study and evaluation of surface and deep-seated distresses. This report presents the results of this study.

CHAPTER 2 – DATA COLLECTION
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
2-1
CHAPTER 2. DATA COLLECTION
Significant data were collected for the development of this Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP). All previous pavement management study reports were reviewed and data that were applicable to this study were abstracted from these reports and used in this program. All previous test information, including geotechnical data, were gathered and reviewed. A testing and inspection program was developed and new data from the new test program were accumulated. A summarization of the data collected is provided in this chapter. A detailed reporting of the test program and data collected are included in Appendices A, B, C, and D.
2-1 Geotechnical Studies
Detailed geotechnical studies are required before an airport or a portion thereof is designed. These studies are necessary to determine the type of soil on which the pavement sections are to be constructed, including the character and strength of these soils. Uniformity of stratification and location and fluctuation of groundwater table are also important information required to provide guidance during design.
With the current operation of business jet aircraft at the Lake Tahoe Airport, the collection of detailed soil test data is necessary to a depth of 10 to 15 feet. Soils data developed include uniformity of the stratification, soil classification, soil density, soil moisture content, soil strength, consolidation characteristics, and the location of groundwater table.
Test borings have been drilled at various times from the late 1950s to the present time to provide necessary geotechnical data to be used in the design of the various features at the airport. These test boring data have been gathered and are included in Appendix A to this report in the form of soil profiles.
The airport is located in the valley that is occupied by the Upper Truckee River.
Historically, this river has wandered somewhat through the valley carrying water from the mountains into Lake Tahoe. When the airport was originally designed in the late 1950s, a portion of the river was relocated to the east to provide a straight section on which to construct the runway and taxiway for the airport.
Geological studies indicate that the soils deposited under and around the Upper Truckee River are alluvial deposits consisting of decomposed granite, which classifies as fine to medium and fine to coarse sands with some gravel and cobbles embedded. The low mountainous ground to the immediate west of the airport eroded and caused the deposition of various layers of sand, silt, and clay on the western section of the airport.
Soil studies and observations show that the soils under the runway and taxiway at the airport generally consist of the fine to medium sands and the fine to coarse sands of decomposed granite, which were in a very loose, saturated condition. In some areas, particularly north of Taxiway G, some of the silt soils from the west extended into the sand soils of the runway and taxiway. The aprons and tee 421

hangar development exist on the west side of the airport and the soils in this area consist of various layers of sands, silts, and silty clays.
The groundwater table in the area of the airport varies significantly with the season and with the climatic conditions, including drought and high levels of precipitation.
In the drought years, the groundwater table in the apron area was located at a depth of 8 to 10 feet; whereas, in 2017 after record rainfall and snow accumulations, the groundwater table was at or near ground surface in these apron areas.
At the time the airport was originally constructed in the late 1950s, the runway construction contractor found that the sand soils in the runway and taxiway sections were so loose and saturated they became “quick” under the vibration caused by a heavy-track vehicle clearing the area. Construction was stopped to determine method of correcting and stabilizing these soils. At that time, under the direction of Reinard W. Brandley, Consulting Airport Engineer, these sands were compacted and stabilized in all paved areas of the runway and taxiway by alternate vibrating of the soils with construction equipment, which liquefied the mass. There was then a waiting period until the excess pore pressure in the voids created by the vibration had been dissipated and then the process was repeated until a stable mass had been obtained. Within two weeks the entire section of runway and taxiway had been stabilized. The same technique was attempted in the apron area, but the sandy silt and clay layers were so fine that it required unreasonably long periods of time to dissipate the excess pore pressure. In these areas, the soft soils were removed to a reasonable depth and replaced with sand soils compacted as necessary.
Extensive soil borings have been conducted at this airport under the direction of our office for previous pavement evaluation studies and for soil studies leading to the design of specific construction projects. The logs of these tests holes are included in previous reports filed with the Airport and are included in this report as Appendix A.
Detailed laboratory testing has been conducted on soil samples obtained from the various test programs. These tests indicate that the surface soils are generally loose and soft. They show that these materials generally have a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) in place of 4 for the silty clays and 8 for the sands and decomposed granites. When compacted, sand soil CBR increases to 12 to 15. 2-2 Existing Pavement Sections
The existing pavement sections throughout the airport were evaluated based on the study of original construction drawings, reconstruction and maintenance drawings, test pits excavated, previous reports, and F.A.A. files.
In general, all existing flexible pavements are F.A.A. standard Marshall mix design materials. A portion of the terminal apron pavement is composed of 14” Portland 422

cement concrete. Many of the pavements are a good quality product but some show signs of distress and failure. The existing aggregate base course consists mainly of a well-graded crushed aggregate base course with a maximum size of ¾ inch to 1½ inch depending on location.
Existing pavement sections at the location of each test hole included in Appendix A are the sections that existed at the time the test holes were drilled and do not necessarily represent existing conditions. Existing pavement sections shown in this section of the report represent current condition.
The current thickness of each layer of Portland cement concrete, asphalt pavement, aggregate base, cement treated base, aggregate subbase, pit run or select sand material, is shown, wherever it is known, in Appendix C, Tables C1 through C36. In general, the existing pavement sections are as shown in the table below:

2-3 Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) Tests
The heavy-duty falling weight deflectometer (FWD) as manufactured by Dynatest Corporation is capable of applying dynamic loads to the pavement of up to 50,000 pounds on a 12 or 18-inch diameter plate. This FWD measures the deflections of the surface of the pavement not only under the center of the plate, but at various locations out to 7 feet from the center of the plate. The shape and magnitude of the deflection bowl caused at the surface of the pavement under the applied loads can thus be determined. These FWD tests can be conducted fairly quickly, generally 20 to 30 tests per hour. Therefore, enough tests can be conducted to determine the uniformity of the load-carrying characteristics of the pavement in each element of the airport, together with the size and shape of the deflection bowl at the surface of the pavement under load.

At the Lake Tahoe Airport, FWD tests were conducted using an 18-inch diameter plate, on each side of the runway centerline in the wheel path at a spacing of 200 feet. The locations of the tests were staggered so that test results are available at 100-foot intervals. One row of tests at 200-foot spacing was conducted on all taxiways, approximately 10 feet off centerline. On all aprons tests were conducted on a grid of approximately 100-foot by 100-foot. On all other areas such as hangar areas, FWD tests were conducted in the wheel path of the taxilane at a spacing of approximately 100 feet.
The FWD tests not only measure the deflection obtained under each test, but also measure the load that was applied to the pavement. Even though the height of fall of the weights remains the same for each test, the actual load applied to the pavement varies somewhat depending on the resistance to load. In order to compare the test results, all deflections obtained were normalized to the deflections under loads of 12, 20, 25, and/or 45 kips (1 kip = 1,000 lbs). The results of the falling weight deflectometer tests showing center plate deflections and joint efficiency tests are included in Appendix B, Plates B1 through B3. The center deflections for each element of the airport were also plotted as profiles and these data are included in Appendix B, Plates B4 through B24.
The measured surface deflections under the FWD tests varied somewhat from one location to another on the airport. These test results indicate that the pavement section materials, subgrade and subsoils have variable strengths throughout the airport.
The basic soil parameters that are utilized in the Fatigue Analysis to determine pavement life are Modulus of Elasticity, Poisson’s Ratio, and element thickness.
The magnitude of deflection and shape of the deflection bowl on the surface of the pavement under load can be used with the computer program for calculations of stresses, strains, and deflections on multi-layer systems to back calculate the soil parameter of Modulus of Elasticity. The data developed from all of the falling weight deflectometer tests were utilized to back calculate Modulus of Elasticity of each layer of the pavement section, and the subsoils located below the pavement section. The results of these back calculated values of Modulus of Elasticity of each layer analyzed are included in Appendix C, Tables C1 through C36. 2-4 Pavement Condition Survey
Pavement condition surveys were conducted on all pavements at Lake Tahoe Airport to determine the type of distress and degree of distress that has occurred on each pavement element and the general character of the pavement.
A standard test method for pavement condition surveys is included in ASTM D 5340-11, Standard Test Method for Airport Pavement Condition Index Surveys. In the pavement condition survey, a detailed assessment of the pavement is conducted, which evaluates the following surface distresses:

The standard ASTM evaluation procedure is to divide the test element into sample units. The sample units generally represent approximately 10 percent of the total pavement section. The type and severity of each airport pavement distress is assessed by visual inspection of the pavement sample units. The quantity of distress is measured and the distress data are used to calculate the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of each sample unit. The process involves detailed inspection of sample units throughout the section, which covers approximately 10 percent of the total area of the pavement.
The office of Reinard W. Brandley deviates from this process in that 100 percent of the pavement surface is surveyed to determine the severity and magnitude of distress for each type of distress that is occurring on that section of pavement.
During these detailed surveys all the distress modes are observed and recorded so that all distresses can be evaluated. By this procedure the coverage of the survey is increased from the 10 percent included in the standard ASTM method to 100 percent. It is considered important to expand the survey in this manner so as to identify the worst-case conditions as well as the average and best case conditions. Any unusual distress types are also recorded for the total unit.
The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and pavement condition description were determined for each section of pavement. This information is included in Appendix C of this report. The data for each segment are included in Tables C1 through C36. Additional information is also included on these tables. Pavement condition determinations are based on visual observations and can vary significantly based on the experience and judgment of the Engineer.
The ASTM Standard provides a relationship between Pavement Condition Index 425

(PCI) and pavement rating. On Plate No. 2-1 the rating system is indicated as a color legend and the rating of each segment of pavement is indicated by color.
The PCI of each segment is also indicated adjacent to each segment of the pavement. It will be noted that most pavements show a “fair” to “very good” condition, yet some only show “very poor” to “poor” conditions. These “poor” pavements are showing considerable distresses on the surface including weathering and block cracking. As a result of the surface conditions on some of the pavements, some rehabilitation is recommended earlier than the forecast remaining life of the pavement. The Pavement Condition Index is based solely on the surface condition and surface distresses and does not necessarily reflect the condition or life of the pavement from a deep-seated failure basis. 2-5 Forecast Traffic
Traffic forecasts for the airport were obtained from the 2016 Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan Report and used to evaluate the pavements at this airport. The Master Plan only included data on total operations forecast at the airport. It did not include any data on the fleet mix of aircraft that were anticipated to utilize the airport. The consultant that prepared the Master Plan Report provided typical fleet mix data that was utilized for the noise contour analysis in the Master Plan. This typical fleet mix data along with the forecast operations data from the Master Plan was used to generate the forecast traffic utilized in this pavement evaluation study to determine the remaining pavement life of each section of pavement. This data included the typical type of aircraft currently operating at the airport, along with the annual number of operations of each aircraft type. The data furnished did not include the forecast growth rates of these aircraft, so a reasonable growth rate of 2% for aircraft weighing less than 25,000 lbs. was used in this analysis. Typically, a growth rate of 3% could be expected for aircraft weighing more than 25,000 lbs., Table No. 2-1 provides the traffic data utilized for the runway and taxiway complex as well as other hangar and apron areas.
Table No. 2-1 lists the 2016 annual operations for aircraft utilizing the airport and includes their maximum takeoff weight and gear configuration. These aircraft have been grouped into 8 aircraft groups and 2 groups of automobiles and delivery trucks for the access roads and parking lots. Each group represents the average aircraft characteristics of maximum takeoff weight and gear type for the different classifications of aircraft that utilize the airport pavements.
In evaluating airfield pavements for deep-seated distress, it is the number of coverages of each wheel on each aircraft over a given point of pavement that contributes to the deep-seated distress on or near that section of pavement. The distribution of aircraft traffic on the airport is a function of:
426
CHAPTER 2 – DATA COLLECTION
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
2-7
Wind direction, which dictates which runway is used
Landing length requirement of each aircraft and takeoff length requirement of each aircraft
Destination on the airport of each aircraft type.
Distribution of traffic on a given pavement section.
For this evaluation, data was estimated showing how many operations utilized each of the 2 runway ends at the airport. The runway utilized by each aircraft is a function of the size and weight of using aircraft, wind direction, destination of the aircraft on the airfield, and pilot in command preference.
When an aircraft lands on a runway, only the heavier aircraft generally use the full length of runway. Intermediate and smaller size aircraft exit the runway at the appropriate cross taxiway. The taxiways that are used by aircraft are dependent upon the location at which the aircraft take off and land as well as the destination of the arriving aircraft on the airport.
Based on the aircraft characteristics, the runway use dictated by wind direction, and the destination of aircraft on the airport, the current annual operations of each aircraft have been evaluated to best represent the actual traffic that occurs on each segment of pavement. The traffic forecast to occur on each segment is defined as “Traffic Index.” A total of 14 traffic indexes were evaluated and used for this study.
On several pavement sections, such as the cross taxiways, hangar areas and aprons, the entire amount of traffic from a pavement complex was initially utilized even though the actual traffic experienced on these pavements will likely be much lower. This higher level of traffic was not further reduced in some areas since the pavement life on these pavements exceeded 20 years even with the higher than expected traffic levels. Pavements that showed less than 20 years of remaining life were further analyzed with the traffic index that represented their actual forecast traffic. The number of annual operations and estimated average annual growth rates for each aircraft group and each traffic index are indicated in Table No. 2-1. These traffic indexes were utilized in the evaluation of all pavements for deep-seated distress.
Using the traffic index and the total annual operations, the number of operations on a given segment of the airport can be estimated. Each operation does not travel over the same spot on a pavement and, therefore, the number of coverages on the pavement section will be less than the total operations for each traffic index. The distribution of traffic on each section is a function of the aircraft type, the gear type, the wind conditions, and the skill of the pilot. There is generally a fairly wide distribution of traffic on a runway; whereas, on a taxiway the traffic is more concentrated. On the aprons the traffic generally follows specified taxilane markings, but only a fraction of the total aircraft operate on each section of apron.
Different factors are applied to the operations estimated for a given section of the airport to convert operations to coverages. Coverages are used in the Fatigue Analysis for remaining pavement life calculations.

The traffic index used for various segments of each pavement is indicated on Plate No. 2-2.
2-6 Frost Action
The natural soils at the Lake Tahoe Airport are highly susceptible to frost action because of the gradation of these materials and the access to ground moisture.
When soils freeze, if the level of frost penetration remains stable for a significant period of time, water is drawn to the freezing layer and this water accumulates and freezes in the form of ice lenses, which cause the soils above that level to heave.
When the frost penetrates deeper, the process is repeated and additional ice lenses are formed. In a frost-susceptible soil with deep penetration of frost, numerous ice lenses will form and significant heave will occur.
At the Lake Tahoe Airport (approximately 30 years ago) the depth of frost penetration under a 10-foot wide solid white reflective painted surface extended to 49 inches. Exploration at Lake Tahoe Airport showed that the frost had penetrated to a depth of 49 inches under the white painted stripe and only 14 inches under the adjacent dark pavement. As an experiment a series of 6-inch wide black stripes were painted on this pavement to form a “zebra” pattern of 6-inch white and 6-inch black. Even in the middle of the winter the painting of these black stripes caused the frozen soil to melt and the surface of the runway, which had heaved 12 inches, to settle back to original grade. This research led to F.A.A. adoption of “zebra” striping as a standard for cold climate areas.
When these soils thaw in the spring, they thaw from the top and from the bottom.
Generally, about two-thirds of the thawing occurs from the surface and one-third from the bottom. Until the total section thaws, that portion above the remaining frozen layer is super-saturated because of the melting of the ice lenses. The remaining frozen soil creates an impervious layer so the excess pore water cannot dissipate. This produces a much weaker pavement section during this period. It is important to determine the depth of frost penetration at the Lake Tahoe Airport and to develop methods to accommodate the decreased strength of subsoils during spring thaw if necessary.
Experience at other airports in the Sierra Nevada Mountains indicates that frost penetration under a dark colored pavement is significantly less than that indicated by the freezing index; whereas, the frost penetration under a white reflective painted surface can be greater than that indicated by the freezing index.
Observations and thermocouple data at the Lake Tahoe Airport indicates that the depth of frost penetration under wide white painted pavement can be as much as 60 inches, whereas the depth of frost penetration under black pavement surfaces ranges from 12 to 16 inches. It is recommended at the Lake Tahoe Airport that all pavement markings be “zebra” striping using 6” maximum width painted sections and 6” minimum black unpainted sections. Frost free materials should be used for all pavement sections to a depth of 20 inches.

CHAPTER 3 – PAVEMENT CONDITION NUMBER (PCN)
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
3-1
CHAPTER 3. PAVEMENT CONDITION NUMBER (PCN)
3-1 Method of Calculating PCN
More than 50 years ago the European Airport Systems, particularly the United Kingdom, developed a standard method known as Aircraft Classification Number/Pavement Classification Number (ACN/PCN) method of pavement strength rating information. FAA has long resisted using this standard, but has now adopted it as an international standard to facilitate the exchange of pavement strength rating information.
With this method of evaluation, the airfield pavements are assigned a Pavement Classification Number (PCN), which is dependent on the pavement section and soil strength and represents the strength and bearing capacity of the pavement section. PCN is a number that expresses the load-carrying capacity of a pavement for specified operations. The aircraft manufacturers have developed an Aircraft Classification Number (ACN), which represents the relative effect of an aircraft at a given configuration on a pavement structure. This system has been developed such that aircraft with a given ACN value can safely operate on pavements that have PCN values equal to or greater than the ACN value of the aircraft. It has, therefore, become necessary to develop and report PCN values for all pavements, particularly on commercial airports.
The Federal Aviation Administration has developed Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5335-5C, Standardized Method of Reporting Airport Pavement Strength - PCN. In AC 150/5335-5C FAA sets forth various methods for determining PCN on airport pavements. This Advisory Circular has been used to develop PCN values for the various pavement sections at Lake Tahoe Airport.
There are several methods for determining PCN Values for a pavement section that are suggested, including the following:
1. COMFAA Computer Program
2. Use the ACN of the most critical aircraft that is successfully using the airport and assume the PCN is the same as that critical ACN value.
3. Knowing the existing pavement sections and characteristics of the subgrade soils and each pavement section layer, determine the design aircraft weight allowed on the pavement section with each landing gear configuration. The bearing capacity of the pavement sections with flexible pavements is determined by the California Bearing Ratio Method and for pavement sections with rigid pavements the Westergaard Design Method is used. Once the load bearing capacity of the section is determined, FAA has developed a series of tables that are included in AC 150/5335-5C, Appendix F as Tables F-1, F-2, F-3, and F-4, which provide the relationship 432
CHAPTER 3 – PAVEMENT CONDITION NUMBER (PCN)
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
3-2
between PCN and aircraft gross weight. A different set of tables is used for flexible pavement sections and for rigid pavement sections. Once the maximum allowable aircraft gross weight for each gear type is determined, then the representative PCN can be taken from these tables.
At the Lake Tahoe Airport the COMFAA program was tested. It was found that the results obtained were very erratic and did not represent the aircraft load carrying capacity of the pavements and no further effort was made to utilize the computer program.
The use of the ACN value of the critical aircraft successfully using the airport as the PCN value of the pavement is somewhat arbitrary and is not considered to accurately depict the strength of the pavement sections. This method was not utilized in this study.
The technical method for determining the PCN determines the strength of the pavement sections based on thickness and quality of the various pavement layers used and the subgrade strength. For flexible pavements the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of subgrade method was utilized and for rigid pavements the Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (K) was utilized. The K factor utilized was the K factor at the top of the base course, which is larger than the K factor of the subgrade materials. With this method of design and evaluation the maximum aircraft load that can be utilized on each pavement section can be calculated for single gear aircraft, dual gear aircraft, dual tandem gear aircraft, and double dual tandem gear aircraft. Dual tandem gear and double dual tandem gear aircraft were not evaluated for this study as they do not operate at the Lake Tahoe Airport. 3-2 Evaluation
The PCN values are determined separately for each pavement section on the airport and indicated in the report based on pavement type, subgrade strength category, allowable tire pressure, and method used for determining the PCN. The pavement codes for reporting the PCN are as follows:

3-3 Calculated PCN Values
There are numerous pavement sections at the Lake Tahoe Airport - some rigid pavements and some flexible pavements. Some are original design and others are reconstructed or overlaid sections. A detailed study has been conducted to determine the pavement sections existing at this time at Lake Tahoe Airport. These data are summarized in Table No. 3-1 for all pavements at the airport. Using these pavement sections and either the CBR or Westergaard method of design, the airplane gross weight allowed on these pavements for single gear aircraft and dual gear aircraft has been determined and is included on Table No. 3-1 for each of the pavement sections.
An Airport Diagram showing the major features and PCN values of the airfield pavements is shown on Plate No. 3-1.
434
CHAPTER 3 – PAVEMENT CONDITION NUMBER (PCN)

Utilizing these data the PCN for each pavement section, both flexible and rigid, has been determined using Tables F-1 through F-4 of AC 150/5335-5C, Appendix F.

The PCN for Runway 18-36 is 28 F/C/Y/T, but the lower PCN Values for the supporting Taxiways A, B, E, F, H, J, & K control the PCN value listed for the runway and taxiway complex.
Several pavement sections are designed to only support light aircraft. These sections are not supported by the calculation of a PCN value and should be restricted to light aircraft only. A light aircraft weighs less than 12,000 lbs.
Apron A6 and Hangar Areas should be restricted to light aircraft only. See Plate 5-1 for locations of these Apron and Hangar areas.
This PCN information should be added to the Airport Master Record, FAA Form 5100, for the Lake Tahoe Airport.

CHAPTER 4. ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
4-1 Distress Mode
There are two major distress types that lead to failure and/or deterioration of an airfield pavement. These are deep-seated distress and surface distress.
Deep-seated distress is distress in the lower sections of the pavement section and the subgrade and subsoil beneath the pavement section and is caused by repeated stresses induced by aircraft movement on the surface of the pavement. Deep-seated distress can lead to complete failure of the pavement section, foundation soils, or both.
Surface distress is caused by traffic, age, and environmental factors including temperature, temperature changes, and moisture. Surface distress causes deterioration of the surface pavement layer including cracking, spalling, raveling, bleeding, and shoving. These distresses can be caused by deep-seated distress or surface distress caused by load, environmental factors, and quality of pavement, or both.
4-2 Deep-Seated Distress
A pavement does not suddenly fail under load unless it is grossly overloaded. Load limits for infrequent use need to be applied to the pavements to avoid collapse of the aircraft through the pavement section. The failures that generally occur are fatigue-type failures where distresses develop to a point that rutting and accompanying failure of the pavement section occurs. It is important in developing a Pavement Maintenance/Management Plan (PMMP) to determine the time at which failure of the section caused by deep-seated distress will begin to occur under forecast loadings. Several methods have been developed over the past 70 years for utilizing a Fatigue Analysis methodology to forecast remaining life of pavements under forecast loads. The degree of success has been varied depending on the method used. The BRANDLEY Fatigue Analysis methodology has a successful 60-year performance record, showing a 90 to 95 percent accuracy in predicting remaining pavement life. FAA’s FAARFIELD methodology, as detailed in this chapter, has not proven to provide accurate forecasts of remaining pavement section life. The BRANDLEY Fatigue Analysis methodology is utilized in this study.
4-2.1 Back Calculated Modulus of Elasticity
Prior to the development of the computer, it was not possible to calculate stresses, strains, and deflections under loaded pavement sections at various depths in a section using a multi-layered system. As a result, the early methods of fatigue analysis utilized deflections of pavement surface, subgrade surface, or other locations measured under full-scale load tests 439
CHAPTER 4 – ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
4-2
as the failure criteria. With the development of the computer, it was possible to calculate stresses, strains and deflections at the surface and all depths below in a multi-layer system. The basic soils and pavement parameters that were necessary for this computation are Modulus of Elasticity, Poisson’s Ratio, and thickness of each layer in the system.
With the development of the heavy-duty falling weight deflectometer equipment and the heavy-duty vibratory load test equipment, it became possible to measure deflections of the pavement surface and to establish the size and shape of the deflection bowl caused by the applied loads.
Using the deflection bowl data and the computer program for multi-layer systems, it is possible to back calculate values of Modulus of Elasticity for each layer of the system. Poisson’s Ratio is not a critical parameter and values of Poisson’s Ratio can be adequately estimated for each type material in each layer. As a result of this development, full-scale load tests are no longer required and the basic soil parameters can be developed from the results of heavy-duty falling weight deflectometer tests or vibratory load tests.
Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson’s Ratio of each layer and the thickness of each layer of the pavement section, the subgrade materials, and various layers of subsoil were obtained in this study and utilized with the Fatigue Analysis.
4-2.2 Forecast Traffic
Forecast traffic, including type aircraft, type gear, operating load, annual operations, and distribution on the pavement, is a parameter that must be utilized in any fatigue analysis. This data must be converted to coverages, which is the number of wheels per year crossing a given point on the pavement. The forecast traffic at Lake Tahoe Airport for each pavement section is included as the Traffic Index in Table No. 2-1. These traffic indexes represent the total operations of each category of aircraft on each section of pavement. For input into the Fatigue Analysis methodology, these operations are converted to coverages to represent the distribution of aircraft tires on the pavement section in each segment. 4-2.3 Existing Pavement Sections
Thickness and type of material of each pavement section and each layer of subgrade and subsoil under the pavement section are important factors to input into any fatigue analysis. The pavement section data for each pavement section are included in Appendix C.

4-2.4 Considered Rehabilitation Sections
Fatigue Analysis methodology not only provides a forecast remaining pavement life under forecast traffic for a given pavement section, but can also forecast extended pavement life after different rehabilitation or reconstruction processes have taken place. It is, therefore, important to not only evaluate the existing pavement sections for forecast remaining life, but to apply feasible rehabilitation methods to the existing pavement sections and calculate forecast extended life due to the rehabilitation process. It is important to prepare this evaluation for different rehabilitation processes that would be feasible at this airport in order to prepare a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the most acceptable rehabilitation program for the pavement section. A series of rehabilitation processes that are considered feasible for this airport have been prepared and are included in Table No. 4-1. Where applicable, each of these rehabilitation procedures was evaluated using the Fatigue Analysis Methodology.
4-2.5 Fatigue Analysis – Deep-Seated Distress
4-2.5.1 BRANDLEY Fatigue Analysis – Remaining Life Analysis In 1948, as research for a doctoral thesis at Harvard University Graduate School of Engineering, Reinard W. Brandley developed the BRANDLEY Fatigue Analysis method of evaluating airfield pavements. This Fatigue Analysis was developed using full-scale load tests conducted by the Corps of Engineers near the end of World War II on various airports for the purpose of developing design criteria for pavements to serve the larger military aircraft that were being developed. The failure criterion that was used in this analysis was limiting subgrade deflection under design traffic.
Measured deflections were used at that time since the computer had not been developed and the stresses, strains, and deflections in multi-layered systems could not be calculated. This Fatigue Analysis methodology and failure criteria has been utilized on many airports. However, the method of determining deflections of the surface of the subgrade has changed from direct measurement to calculating these deflections using layer thicknesses and the Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson’s Ratio of each layer, which have been back calculated from the data obtained from the falling weight deflectometer tests. From the Fatigue Analysis, forecasts of remaining pavement life, so far as deep-seated distress is concerned, were calculated for each pavement section.
Since the original research was conducted on flexible pavements, it was anticipated that a separate failure criteria would be required for rigid pavement sections. Experience and comparison with 441
CHAPTER 4 – ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
4-4
actual performance show that the failure criteria used for flexible pavements is the same for rigid pavements and there was no change required in the failure criteria.
A comparison of forecast pavement life and time for failure under the forecast traffic over the past 60 years has shown excellent correlation between forecast life and actual time to failure. The forecast life has always been within 90 to 110 percent of the actual life of the section when actual traffic on the section was the same as that used in the analysis.
Plate 4-1 shows the remaining life of the pavements expected to fail under deep-seated distress in the subgrade layer using the forecast traffic. The remaining life analysis for the subgrade layer is the critical item for the areas of pavement that have less than 20 years of remaining life.
The remaining life data shown is for forecast traffic on the section.
If traffic varies from forecast, then remaining life of the section subjected to the new traffic can be re-calculated using existing data obtained in this study for Modulus of Elasticity and thickness of each layer of the pavement section.
Any analysis that showed a remaining pavement life of a section of more than 20 years has been indicated as 20+ years. Other factors such as weathering, maintenance, etc., over a 20-year period can have a significant influence on the performance of a pavement. It is recommended that a complete reevaluation of pavement performance, including falling weight deflectometer testing and Fatigue Analysis, be conducted every 10 years to evaluate unforeseen changes and to update the recommended
maintenance and rehabilitation schedules.
4-2.5.2 FAARFIELD Airport Pavement Design – Remaining Life Analysis The FAA has recently developed a program called “FAARFIELD” to design and evaluate airfield pavements, including a remaining life analysis. A comparative study of the BRANDLEY Fatigue Analysis and the FAARFIELD systems was made on some airport pavements that have actually failed after they had been tested. In this analysis the same traffic, pavement section, Modulus of Elasticity values, and Poisson’s Ratio values for each layer were used in both the BRANDLEY Fatigue Analysis and the FAARFIELD analysis. At each location Air Traffic Control Tower records indicated that the forecast traffic for aircraft type and operation 442

matched the actual traffic experienced. The results of this study are tabulated below:

A detailed fatigue analysis was conducted using each type of rehabilitation and overlay considered appropriate and the extended pavement life was calculated. Taking this extended life for each section into account, the recommended pavement maintenance program was prepared. The recommended pavement rehabilitation method used was based on a cost-benefit analysis, construction timing and difficulties, and availability of funding.
Several recommended rehabilitation procedures for deep-seated distress with estimated unit costs for each procedure are presented in Table 4-1. The rehabilitation plan for the next 20-year period to protect against deep-seated distress only is included in Table No. 4-
2. 4-3 Surface Distress
4-3.1 Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
Surface distress in the pavements is not necessarily caused by deep-seated distress, nor does it forecast when the pavement section will fail. Surface distress generally is caused by inadequate quality of the pavement materials, traffic, and/or environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, and temperature changes between day and night and summer and winter. These defects show up as cracking, patching, raveling, weathering, swelling, rutting, and PCC slab shattering. Rutting can be caused by deep-seated distress and failure of the section or associated with flushing or shoving of an asphalt mix.
The pavement condition is determined by visual inspection of the surface of the pavement as described previously. A Pavement Condition Index (PCI) can be determined for each segment to indicate the degree of distress. A typical plot of PCI vs. Time is included as Plate No. 4-2. On this plate a typical pavement index plot for asphalt concrete pavement and for Portland cement concrete pavement is shown. In both diagrams the PCI gradually decreases with time and when it reaches a certain point, it decreases at a much faster rate. The gradual decreasing portion of the curve indicates surface distress only. The sharp break off is generally caused by deepseated distress. There is no way to predict when the deep-seated distress or failure of the section is going to occur using only the PCI and, therefore, it is not possible to predict with only the PCI when major rehabilitation or reconstruction will be required. If one waits until the PCI vs. Time curve shows deep-seated distress by the sharp break off, then failure has already occurred and it is not possible to extend the life of the section by overlays or adding to the surface of the existing pavement section. As a result, the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) cannot be successfully used to predict deep-seated distresses and failures but is effective in determining when 444
CHAPTER 4 – ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
4-7
surface rehabilitation and repairs are necessary.
Surface distress results in deterioration of the surface course. This distress shows up as cracks in the pavement, including transverse cracking, longitudinal cracking, block cracking, map cracking, secondary cracking, raveling, weathering, patching, or damage to the surface caused by jet blast or oil and chemical spillage. Each of these deficiencies can be treated so as to provide safe operation of the airport, but with time it will become more cost effective to completely rehabilitate or reconstruct the section. The timing of repair of cracks or other defects will be a function of cost benefit and availability of funds.
The typical rehabilitation procedures for surface distress for Lake Tahoe Airport are shown in Table No. 4-3.
4-3.2 Thermal Stresses
Surface cracking can be caused by thermal stresses in the pavement.
These stresses are created by large changes in temperature of the pavement from day to night and summer to winter. Over time these temperature variations combined with the oil in the asphalt becoming old and brittle can cause cracking of an asphalt pavement.
With airports in the higher altitudes of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, large temperature changes occur between night and day and summer and winter. These large temperature changes cause thermal stresses to build up in the asphalt pavement section, which generally results in cracking of the pavements, both longitudinal and transverse. Early cracking will be transverse cracks at 500 to 800 foot centers. Additional cracks will then form in between and ultimately it will end up with a block cracking at 15 to 20 foot centers. If not sealed, these cracks will become wider each year and, in some instances, have been observed to be 3 to 5 inches wide.
Recently a polymer-modified asphalt has been developed that provides an asphalt pavement that will withstand or delay thermal cracking. Experience has been limited and has shown no thermal cracking in the pavement after 10 to 12 years from the time that it was placed. All new flexible pavements at Lake Tahoe Airport should be constructed using the polymer-modified asphalt.
In the 1980s the office of Reinard W. Brandley developed a method of sawing and sealing a joint pattern on airfield pavements in the Sierra Nevada Mountain regions to control the cracking caused by thermal stresses. This joint pattern started out at 25-foot centers, but intermediate cracks developed so the spacing was decreased to 12 to 15-foot centers depending on the location. This has proven to be successful. The main 445
CHAPTER 4 – ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
4-8
problem with the sawing and sealing of the joint pattern has been that it requires maintenance in the form of resealing the joints every 4 to 6 years.
All joints need to be formed with a depth-to-width ratio of 0.5 to 1.0 for the joint sealant and have a “band-aid” section on top of the pavement extending 1 inch each side of the joint in order to avoid bond failure of the joint seal.
Many of the pavements at Lake Tahoe Airport have a joint pattern installed on a 15’ grid.
When new pavements are placed at the airport, polymer-modified asphalt should be used in the mix. Based on experience, this should at least delay the start of any cracking due to thermal stresses, and may eliminate it.
Installation of a jointing system is not recommended until cracking of the pavement begins. Careful inspection should be made of the new pavements each year and when transverse cracks form at regular intervals of 500 feet or less, a 15 x 15 foot joint pattern should be installed using the existing transverse crack as one of the joints. This will eliminate or delay further cracking due to thermal stresses.
Performance of new pavements using polymer-modified asphalt has been limited to 12 to 14 years. It is not known whether or not thermal cracking will occur in these pavements after that time, so in the PMMP an item to install a joint system after 11 to 13 years has been included but will only be used if needed.
In some areas, particularly in the apron tie down area, the surface of the pavement has weathered, some raveling has occurred, and there is extensive fine cracking. In these areas surface rehabilitation should consist of milling at least 2 inches, but no less than 75 percent of the thickness of the existing pavement, and replacing it with new polymer-modified asphalt.
A sealant on the surface of the asphalt pavement should be considered when the weathering and development of fine cracks has developed to a point that it has a detrimental effect on the life of the pavement and the surface condition. This sealant can consist of Reclamite, slurry seal, an SS1h fog seal or other suitable materials.
Sealing of the cracks in flexible pavement sections is an important maintenance procedure since it resists spalling or raveling of the pavement immediately adjacent to the cracks and inhibits the entry of storm water into the underlying aggregate base course. It is recommended that all cracks to be sealed be prepared for sealing by routing a section to provide a depth to width ratio of the sealant of no more than 1 to 1. This will also require the installation of a backer rod or tape below the sealant to keep the sealant from filling the bottom section of the crack. The sealant should include a 446
CHAPTER 4 – ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
4-9
“Band Aid” on the top of the pavement over the seal extending 1-inch minimum beyond the edge of the prepared repair on each side of the crack.
The thickness of the “Band Aid” should be 1/8”. A typical section of a crack seal repair is shown on Plate 4-3.
4-4 Frost Action
If the frost line penetrates and remains for a significant period of time in a frostsusceptible soil, frostheave will occur, which is caused by the formation of ice lenses at the bottom edge of the frozen layer. This heave can have a serious effect on rideability of the pavement until it melts and the surface returns to approximately the same elevation as before the frost. During the spring thaw the frozen soil and ice lenses will thaw and the soil above the remaining frozen layer will become super-saturated, which will decrease the strength of this material.
Based on past experience it is expected that frost may penetrate up to depths of 15 to 20 inches provided zebra striping is used for all marking. With a 15-inch depth of frost penetration there would be little effect on the strength of the pavement section during the spring thaw. However, if frost penetrates deeper, there would be a weakened condition during the spring thaw. If that weakened condition occurs due to depth of frost penetration, then the effect can be mitigated during the spring thaw period by:
Placing a thicker pavement section, which will support the heavier aircraft, or
Restricting the size aircraft that can use the airport to those having a maximum gross weight less than 40,000 pounds on dual gear.
The spring thaw would normally be a fairly short period of time.
It may be advantageous to install a series of thermocouple gauges in the existing pavement sections and monitor the depth of frost penetration and rate of thawing in the spring, if thicker pavement sections are not constructed, so the timing of limiting operations of the heavier aircraft can be accurately established.
If the depth of frost penetration never exceeds 16”, then no load restrictions would be required on the pavements at any time. If the depth of frost penetration extends below 16”, load restrictions should be applied whenever the depth of thawing as measured from the surface of the pavement exceeds 12” and should remain in place until seven days after the proposed thermocouples indicate that all of the frozen sections of pavement and subsoil have completely thawed. 447

CHAPTER 5. CONCLUSIONS AND REHABILITATION PLAN & SCHEDULE
5-1 General
Even with the success of the BRANDLEY Fatigue Analysis methodology in predicting remaining pavement life, pavement performance beyond 20 years cannot be accurately forecast due to unknown factors including weather, traffic, maintenance, and surface defects. Even beyond 10 years the forecast performance is somewhat questionable due to the same variables. It is, therefore, recommended that the rehabilitation plan be developed for a 20-year period but it should be updated periodically based on ongoing surveys and analyses. It is recommended that pavement condition surveys, which visually identify surface defects, be conducted annually by a general visual observation of all pavements and every 5 years using a detailed survey and determination of Pavement Condition Index (PCI). It is also recommended that detailed falling weight deflectometer testing and new fatigue analyses be conducted on a 10-year interval and the remaining life of the pavement based on deep-seated distress be evaluated and the rehabilitation program adjusted as necessary.
Rehabilitation of pavements to correct deep-seated distress problems should be performed 2 to 3 years before the forecast failure of the pavement has occurred.
If one waits until the pavement section has failed due to deep-seated distress, then the strength of the subgrade and subsoils and the strength and quality of the existing base and pavement materials will have decreased. It will not be feasible to strengthen the section and extend the life of the section by the placement of reasonable overlays or additional thicknesses of the pavement section. Once a deep-seated failure has occurred, it will be necessary to reconstruct the entire section.
The modulus of elasticity of the existing aggregate base course materials in some pavement sections is lower than would normally be anticipated. This is likely an indicator that the quality of these materials has deteriorated somewhat over time.
They have likely become saturated and loose from traffic, water infiltration, and/or frost action in the pavement sections. These aggregate base course materials will need to be scarified and recompacted during any rehabilitation work in the future once the surface course has been removed, which is why a remove and replace AC surface is proposed for some projects instead of a mil and fill of the existing AC surface.
If the surface distress becomes severe, before the forecast remaining life due to deep-seated distress occurs, in many cases it will be more feasible from a costbenefit, performance, and aesthetic standpoint to rehabilitate or reconstruct the section earlier than forecast due to deep-seated distresses. 455
CHAPTER 5 – CONCLUSIONS AND REHABILITATION PLAN & SCHEDULE Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
5-2
Rehabilitation of the pavement section to correct surface distress problems can consist of patching, sealing of the cracks, application of a seal coat, or milling and replacing the asphalt surface. The timing for each of these treatments will be based on cost-benefit analysis, safety, rideability, and aesthetic conditions. The rehabilitation type and schedule to correct problems caused by surface distress is determined by engineering judgment, taking into consideration the cost-benefit, operational problems, and visual perception. The schedule for rehabilitation to correct surface distress issues is flexible, but timing of rehabilitation to correct deep-seated distress must be scheduled to occur no later than 2 to 3 years before the forecast time of failure.
If a pavement section is grossly overloaded, there is a risk that the pavement will be overstressed to a point that the landing gear will punch through the pavement.
To protect against this happening, a load limit should be established, even for infrequent use. A different load limit is required for single wheel and dual wheel geared aircraft. The PCN values presented in Chapter 3 of this report represent adequate load limit values for each gear type.
5-2 Special Rehabilitation Recommendations
As a result of this PMMP, there are several special design recommendations that have been suggested and it is highly recommended that they be adopted for new pavements and rehabilitated pavements at Lake Tahoe Airport. These design recommendations, together with background information, are presented herewith. 5-2.1 Flexible Pavements (Bituminous Surface Course)
In recent years, research conducted by the Highway Research Board produced a SuperPave mix design methodology. With this methodology they established that a 0.45 power curve on grading analysis plots would be a satisfactory curve to use to establish idealized gradation for aggregates used in the asphalt mix design. The 0.45 power curve represents the gradation that will produce the highest density finished product possible with the aggregate being used, but the air voids are near zero and the mix is subject to flushing if the gradation of the aggregate lies on the 0.45 power curve. The further the combined gradation of the mix deviates from the 0.45 power curve, either on the fine side or the coarse side, the higher the air voids become. Research has shown that if the combined gradation of the aggregate is on the fine side of the 0.45 power curve, Marshall stabilities will generally range from 2,000 to 2,400 pounds, which still meet the F.A.A.
Marshall mix design requirements. However, if the combined gradation is held on the coarse side of the 0.45 power curve, the Marshall stability rises to 3,000 to 5,000 pounds and the mix is much more stable.
The coarser mix has enough fines in it that the air voids meet specification requirements and the surface is smooth and filled with fines, but after rolling the surface a few of the upper portions of the stones in the aggregate are 456
CHAPTER 5 – CONCLUSIONS AND REHABILITATION PLAN & SCHEDULE Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
5-3
visible at the surface. The coarser mix is also sufficiently stable that breakdown rolling can be started right behind the paving machine without allowing the mix to cool, which makes it easier and less expensive to obtain specified compaction. Both gradations on the coarse side and the fine side of the 0.45 power curve fall within the FAA limits for Marshall mix design.
With the coarser mix the asphalt content is decreased by approximately 0.5 percent and the required compaction effort is decreased significantly. As a result, the unit cost of both the coarse and fine mixes is approximately the same and a far superior product is obtained by using the coarse mix. The surface is smooth and filled with fines and grooving is easier and more permanent because of the higher stability of the mix. This coarse mix will deter the shoving of the asphalt materials and subsequent decrease in Modulus of Elasticity of the asphalt and underlying materials and will minimize the risk of rutting. It is highly recommended that the SuperPave mix design procedures be used and that the gradation be on the coarse side of the 0.45 power curve on all flexible pavements placed on this airport. 5-2.2 Porous Concrete
It is proposed to utilize a porous concrete as the base course and drainage layer for the reconstruction of the General Aviation Apron Phase 5. The water table has been found to be high in this area (within 0 to 6 inches of the surface at times) and the test holes have shown that the subgrade is potentially soft and yielding.
A porous concrete base should be used and will perform better than the standard cement treated base course (CTB). Experience has shown that the cost is less for the porous concrete than for the CTB. The porous concrete will have a minimum compressive strength of 1,500 psi and will have a minimum coefficient of permeability of 5 feet per minute. This will allow early drainage of storm water that penetrates the surfacing, thus protecting the underlying subbase courses. A perforated pipe subdrain should be installed at the edges of the porous concrete in order to take the water out of the pavement section and put it into the drainage system. In addition, the porous concrete does not crack during curing.
The pavement section recommended will include a 5 to 10-inch stabilized base course constructed of porous concrete immediately below the 3-inch asphalt surfacing. This upper section of porous concrete will pick up any water that penetrates through the pavement section and carry it to the West Drainage Ditch and will bridge any weak areas. The timing required for removal of any water that penetrates is fairly short since the coefficient of permeability of the porous concrete is specified to be no less than 5 feet per minute.
457
CHAPTER 5 – CONCLUSIONS AND REHABILITATION PLAN & SCHEDULE Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
5-4
The porous concrete should have a coefficient of permeability greater than five feet (5’) per minute, a compressive strength in excess of 1,500 psi, and a Modulus of Elasticity of 1,200,00 psi. Experience has shown that this product is very effective in bridging any soft soils and that it provides 100 percent subdrainage under any pavement section. The porous concrete will be placed on a sloping surface (1% minimum) the slope of which is parallel to the finished grade of the pavement, and a perforated pipe will be installed in the lower portion of the porous concrete along all low areas which will drain into the existing drainage facilities. The porous concrete will provide good subdrainage, will bridge any soft soils, and will provide the rigid support necessary to decrease the risk of differential support throughout the site.
A filter fabric will be placed immediately under and around the sides of the porous concrete section to protect the porous concrete from infiltration of fines from the subgrade.
The porous concrete materials proposed will meet or exceed the recommendation of FAA as set forth in Advisory Circular 150/5380-6C, Section 2.3b, “Subsurface Drainage,” and Advisory Circular 150/5320-5D, Appendix G, “Design of Subsurface Pavement Drainage Systems.” Experience on other projects showed the following properties for the porous concrete were easily obtainable:
Coefficient of Permeability 5 ft./minute
28 Day Compressive Strength 1,500 psi
Modulus of Elasticity “E” 1,200,000 psi
It is, therefore, proposed and recommended in any new or reconstructed pavement sections in areas with a high water table and soft unstable subgrades at Lake Tahoe Airport that porous concrete be used as the stabilized base course and sub-drainage layer under either flexible or rigid pavement surfaces.
In normal or dry conditions, the groundwater table in the area of the aircraft parking apron has been found to be located at depths ranging from 8 to 10 feet below pavement surface. In 2017 there were heavy rains and heavy deposits of snow in the Sierra. The groundwater table in the apron area raised to a point where it was generally 1 to 2 feet below the pavement surface and, in some cases at particularly wet periods, the groundwater emerged to the surface through cracks in the pavement.
This high groundwater has stayed in place throughout most of the summer due to high snow melts. There are also some springs that feed into the groundwater in certain areas on the west side of the airport.
It will be necessary to depress the groundwater table in the apron area to 458
CHAPTER 5 – CONCLUSIONS AND REHABILITATION PLAN & SCHEDULE Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
5-5
be constructed in 2017-18 to improve the stability of the underlying soils to support construction equipment and maintain the integrity of the pavement section. In order to provide this lowering of the water table, it is proposed to construct an interceptor drain along the west side of the apron and to carry the water from this drain into a main cross drainage pipe and deposit it in the West Drainage Ditch. This drain will be a minimum of 4 feet deep and will consist of a perforated pipe located in the bottom of an excavated trench, which will be backfilled with porous concrete. The outside of the porous concrete will be wrapped with a filter fabric to keep fines from penetrating the porous concrete. In addition, a 5-inch layer of porous concrete will be placed as stabilized aggregate base course and drainage layer immediately below the new pavement section. After the interceptor trench is installed, flow-net studies indicate that the groundwater table in the apron area will decrease to a point at least 2 to 3 feet below finished pavement section.
It will be necessary to install the interceptor drain this fall and then wait a minimum of a month to allow the drain to effectively lower the water table.
This will require that the main reconstruction of Apron 6a be postponed to the spring of 2018.
5-2.3 AC Surface Rehabilitation vs. AC Mill & Fill
Typically, a surface rehabilitation will consist of only a mill and fill of the existing asphalt surface, but with underlying aggregate base courses that have lower than anticipated modulus of elasticities, a different type of surface rehabilitation has been recommended for many of these pavements. It is recommended that when these pavements are rehabilitated for surface distress that a surface reconstruction be completed, consisting of breaking up and removing the existing AC surface course, scarifying and recompacting the underlying aggregate base course to 100% relative compaction, and then placing 3 inches of a new bituminous surface course.
This type of pavement rehabilitation is recommended in areas where existing finished grades must be maintained as they currently exist. In rehabilitation areas where finished grades can be raised, then the AC and upper 3 inches of AB can be pulverized and recompacted in place to a relative compaction of 100% and the new aggregate base and bituminous surface course placed as needed.
An alternate rehabilitation would consist of a 2 to 3-inch asphalt mill and fill which could be an alternative to the full surface reconstruction. This type of rehabilitation would consist of milling off the top 2 to 3-inches of the existing asphalt section and placing 2 to 3-inches of new bituminous surface course.
This type of rehabilitation is not the preferred rehabilitation for pavements 459
CHAPTER 5 – CONCLUSIONS AND REHABILITATION PLAN & SCHEDULE Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
5-6
with weaker base course layer for several reasons. The underlying base course materials would not be recompacted in this type of rehabilitation, which would still lead to future deterioration of the asphalt surface course.
The up-front cost is slightly less than the recommended surface reconstruction but the life-cycle cost of this will be significantly higher, since this type of rehabilitation is likely to only provide 5 to 10 years of additional pavement life at which time a surface reconstruction would still need to occur. For these reasons, all surface rehabilitation recommendations for pavements with weak existing aggregate base courses are to perform the surface reconstruction at the appropriate times and the recommended maintenance projects shown are based on the surface reconstruction being completed. If the airport chooses to perform the AC mill and fill alternative rehabilitation on these pavements, the estimated maintenance schedule after that project will need to be modified significantly from what is shown in this report.
On pavement sections where the underlying pavement section is still strong and has adequate remaining life, the mill and fill rehabilitation option is an appropriate rehabilitation to be performed.
If traffic forecast to use a given pavement section changes from that estimated in this study, then the pavement sections affected by the change should be reevaluated using existing data and the recommended pavement maintenance program for the pavement sections modified to meet the new requirements. Existing data obtained from this PMMP study can be used for the revised pavement use analysis.
5-2.4 Apron A5c and A5d - 2016 Reconstruction
The portion of the general aviation apron that is denoted as Apron A5c and A5d on Plates 5-1 and 5-2 was reconstructed during the summer of 2016.
The data collection and testing for this pavement maintenance management program was collected during the spring of 2016 prior to the reconstruction of this portion of the apron. Thus, the existing pavement section, modulus of elasticity values, pavement condition index, pavement condition number, remaining pavement life, and other associated values are shown in the tables and calculations of report in the condition that they were in during the spring of 2016 before the reconstruction.
This portion of the apron was reconstructed with a new pavement section of 3” of Bituminous Surface Course, 8” of Aggregate Base Course, and 12” of Aggregate Subbase Course. Significant areas of the project had a soft, unstable subgrade which required overexcavation of the subgrade by 2 to 3 feet and placing an imported pit run material beneath the pavement section.

The portion of Taxiway H that connects the northern portion of the general aviation apron to Taxiway A is shown to be removed in the future on the Airport Layout Plan and will be replaced with a new connector taxiway from the apron to Taxiway A. The new Taxiway H should be constructed with Apron.
5-3 Recommended Rehabilitation Schedule
The BRANDLEY Fatigue Analysis was used to determine the remaining life of the existing pavements and the recommended maintenance and rehabilitation schedules based on the forecast aircraft operations at the airport.
Taking into consideration the timing required for rehabilitation of sections that have a forecast remaining life less than 20 years and requirements to correct surface defects caused by surface distress, a rehabilitation schedule has been prepared for each pavement item. The timing of complete rehabilitation of the section on those areas that are not forecast to fail within the 20-year period due to deepseated distress was based on engineering judgment. Consideration was given to the requirements to maintain a good operational surface, to be cost effective, and to spread out the work in such a manner as to maintain a reasonably uniform annual cost of rehabilitation. The anticipation of receiving Federal grant funding to do major projects was also taken into consideration.
461
CHAPTER 5 – CONCLUSIONS AND REHABILITATION PLAN & SCHEDULE Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
5-8
Based on this method of timing of rehabilitation or repair, the recommended rehabilitation schedule has been included in detail in Appendix C, Tables C1 through C36 and has been summarized in Table No. 5-1. Using this information, a maintenance and rehabilitation schedule has been prepared showing the recommended projects for each year that maintenance or rehabilitation work is scheduled within the next 20 years and is summarized in Table No. 5-2. These maintenance schedules have also been shown on the Rehabilitation Schedule maps, Plates No. 5-3 through 5-7. With each of these schedules, assumptions have been made as to when Federal funding would be available, and the maintenance schedule has been adjusted to include these major projects during those periods provided any delayed maintenance or reconstruction would not have a significant effect on the remaining life and performance of the pavement section.
The maintenance work recommended to correct surface distress is based on engineering judgment. The timing should be adjusted each year based on availability of funds and the results of the annual surface inspection. The schedule for rehabilitation and reconstruction required to correct deep-seated distresses must be adhered to since the timing established is 2 to 3 years before failure of the section is anticipated. Rehabilitation at earlier dates is acceptable.
The majority of the pavement sections show a pavement life, based on deepseated distress, in excess of 20 years with forecast traffic. While most of these pavements show a long life, the life of the pavement surface is likely significantly lower. Many of the pavements are old, brittle, and weathered from environmental and other surface distresses. In order to maintain a good surface and protect the underlying portion of the pavement section from damage, a surface rehabilitation should be considered for each of the pavements that do not require a full structural rehabilitation. As a result, the majority of the airfield pavements have a recommendation for surface rehabilitation in the future. The timing of this rehabilitation can vary based on the operations, needs, and budget.
Several of the existing asphaltic concrete pavements at this airport are old and the surface is weathered. In areas that are not specified to be reconstructed good maintenance practice consists of providing a seal coat to the surface of the pavement every five to ten years. The oil seal recommended is Reclamite, SS1h, or a Type I Slurry Seal, or approved equal. With the old pavements the Reclamite would be more effective since it tends to restore the plastic characteristics of the asphalt better than the other seals. A representative for a Reclamite or rejuvinating seal should be consulted for determining the proper type of application to be used prior to designing a project that uses this material. This type of rehabilitation is not an option for pavements that are already heavily cracked and deteriorating.
Rehabilitation schedules based on deep-seated distress could change in the future if the traffic experienced at the airport is significantly different than the forecast traffic utilized in this report. If the actual traffic varies, particularly with the heavier jet aircraft, the same FWD data and pavement section characteristics can be 462
CHAPTER 5 – CONCLUSIONS AND REHABILITATION PLAN & SCHEDULE Lake Tahoe Airport PMMP August 2017
5-9
utilized with the actual traffic realized at the airport. An updated remaining life can be recalculated based on actual traffic realized at a future date if necessary.
All costs shown in this analysis are construction costs only and are based on 2017 prices. These costs are for construction only and do not include engineering design, quality assurance testing, resident engineering, or administrative costs.
Engineering and administrative costs ranging from 20% to 30% of construction costs need to be added and adjustments made for inflation for each year.
As an aid in preparing this report, Table No. 5-3 entitled, “Summary of Existing Conditions and Rehabilitation Requirements” was prepared. This table should be useful to Operations and Maintenance staff as it summarizes all of the information that was compiled, analyzed, and/or recommended in this report for each pavement section on the airfield.

Disclaimer
The recommendations presented in this report are based on the results of tests conducted. Soil borings were spaced to represent typical subsurface conditions and falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests were spaced at approximately 200 feet. While it is unlikely, it is possible that significantly different conditions exist between the location of the test holes and FWD test locations that could lead to pavement distress occurring later or earlier than forecast.
Delays in maintenance, changes in traffic, and changes in environmental conditions from those assumed in this study can also have a significant effect on the recommended schedule for maintenance and rehabilitation. It is recommended that visual inspections be conducted annually, detailed pavement condition surveys be conducted every five years, and FWD tests and Fatigue Analysis studies be conducted every 10 years. As a result of these inspections, tests and evaluations, the maintenance and rehabilitation schedule should be adjusted as necessary.

Geotechnical Data
A series of soil (geotechnical) studies have been conducted by the office of Reinard W.
Brandley, Consulting Airport Engineer (RWB), for pavement evaluation studies at Lake Tahoe Airport. The results of these studies have been collected and included in Appendix A to this report.
Our office conducted test borings at this airport in 1962, 1968, 2012, and 2017. The location map included as Plate A1 identifies the location of each of the test holes drilled at this site. The logs of the borings for each of these test holes are shown on Plates A2 through A7. On these logs, the stratification of the soil is shown under the existing surface as it existed at the time the test hole was drilled, whether the surface was soil or pavement. Where pavement existed, the logs showed the thickness of each layer of the pavement section and the soils below the pavement to depths of 5 to 15 feet.
The soil stratification obtained from these borings was basically as expected based on geological studies. The soils under the runway and parallel taxiway generally consisted of fine to medium or fine to coarse loose sands. Some of the sands were somewhat silty in the area immediately north of Taxiway G. In the apron area the soils consisted of varying layers of sands, sandy clays, and sandy silts. The silty clays and clayey silt layers were generally fairly soft.
The elevation of the groundwater table was measured in each test hole at the time it was drilled and the location and date at which the measurement was made are shown on most of the test boring logs. It will be noted that the groundwater table in the dry years was 8 to 10 feet below surface in the apron area. During the wet year of 2016/17 the groundwater table in the same areas was located within 1 foot of the surface and in some areas was at ground surface.
The location and log of the test holes drilled in the various geotechnical studies on the airport have been assembled and included in this Appendix as:

Falling Weight Deflectometer Test Data
Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) tests were conducted on all pavements on the airport.
On the runway two rows of FWD tests were conducted, one on each side of the runway centerline, at a distance of approximately 10 feet from the centerline. These tests were located at a spacing of approximately 200 feet staggered on each side of centerline, which provided general longitudinal spacing of 100 feet between tests. FWD tests were also conducted on all taxiways and taxilanes at a distance of 10 feet from centerline and at longitudinal spacing of approximately 200 feet. On all aprons FWD tests were conducted on an approximate 100 by 100 foot grid. On all hangar taxilanes FWD tests were conducted in the wheel path of the taxilane at a spacing of approximately 100 feet.
The Falling Weight Deflectometer tests are generally conducted at three different loadings and the applied load is measured by load cells. As a result of variations in resistance, the applied load varies somewhat from the anticipated load. In order to provide comparable test results, all data were normalized to standard loads of 12, 20, 25, and/or 45 kips (1 kip = 1,000 lbs).
The location of the test, starting point of the row of tests, and location of Station 0+00 for each row of tests are shown on Plates B1 through B3. The FWD data for the center deflections under applied load are indicated on these drawings for each test location. The location of Station 0+00 at the start of each row of tests and the direction of test are reflected in the plots as Station 0+00 in Plates No. B4 through B24.
For each row of FWD tests on each segment of pavement a graph showing the center plate deflection at each test location has been prepared and is shown on Plates B4 through B24.
These data show the uniformity of strength as reflected by deflection of the pavement sections and identify the hard spots and the soft spots. For calculation purposes in order to back calculate Modulus of Elasticity, critical values of deflection for each fairly uniform section has been indicated by horizontal lines.
A camera was mounted on the FWD equipment and a photograph of the surface of the pavement was taken at the location of each FWD test. These photographs are useful historical documents since they show the condition of the existing pavement at the time and location of each FWD test. An electronic copy of these photographs are enclosed with this report.
The results of these studies have been included in this Appendix, as follows:

PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE/MANAGEMENT PLAN
Appendix C
Pavement Condition Survey
Pavement Maintenance Management Plan
As an aid in determining the performance to date of the existing pavements and to provide a guide for the test program conducted in this study a detailed condition survey of all existing pavements was made. This survey consisted of visually observing all pavements and noting deficiencies in areas of distress. A drawing identifying the pavements surveyed is included in this appendix as Plate No. C1. Plate No. C2 gives the stationing control for all segments of pavement included in this report. A drawing indicating the PCI (Pavement Condition Index) rating of each segment of pavement in 2016 by color is included as Plate No. C3.
The Pavement Condition Survey and Rehabilitation Schedules shown in Tables C1 through C36 include the following information for each pavement segment evaluated:
F.A.A. Pavement Strength Survey
F.A.A. Existing Pavement Section, FAA Form 5335
Date constructed
Rehabilitation record
Pavement condition including Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Pavement Condition Number (PCN)
Pavement evaluation
Traffic Index
Pavement remaining life analysis
Recommended rehabilitation.
Routine remarking of the pavements is necessary every 8 to 10 years. The scheduled remarking is not shown in Appendix C or Table 5-3, but it is included in each of the rehabilitation and maintenance project cost estimates.
The table of contents of this appendix is shown below:

Appendix D
Traffic Summary
This Appendix summarizes the design characteristics of all the aircraft that are currently utilizing the airport. It also provides existing aircraft operations by type, as well as the number of annual operations currently operating at the airport.
The total annual operations of each aircraft group for each area have been calculated as “Traffic Indexes” and are included in Table No. D1. The traffic for each Traffic Index is the traffic that was used to calculate deep-seated distresses in the pavement sections and to calculate the predicted remaining life of each pavement section.
Traffic forecasts for the airport were obtained from the 2016 Lake Tahoe Airport Master Plan Report and used to evaluate the pavements at this airport. The Master Plan only included data on total operations forecast at the airport. It did not include any data on the fleet mix of aircraft that were anticipated to utilize the airport. The consultant that prepared the Master Plan Report provided typical fleet mix data that was utilized for the noise contour analysis in the Master Plan. This typical fleet mix data along with the forecast operations data from the Master Plan was used to generate the forecast traffic utilized in this pavement evaluation study to determine the remaining pavement life of each section of pavement. This data included the typical type of aircraft currently operating at the airport, along with the annual number of operations of each aircraft type. The data furnished did not include the forecast growth rates of these aircraft, so a reasonable growth rate of 2% for aircraft weighing less than 25,000 lbs. was used in this analysis.
Typically, a growth rate of 3% could be expected for aircraft weighing more than 25,000 lbs., Table No. D1 provides the traffic data utilized for the runway and taxiway complex as well as other hangar and apron areas.
Table No. D1 lists the 2016 annual operations for aircraft utilizing the airport and includes their maximum takeoff weight and gear configuration. These aircraft have been grouped into 8 aircraft groups and 2 groups of automobiles and delivery trucks for the access roads and parking lots. Each group represents the average aircraft characteristics of maximum takeoff weight and gear type for the different classifications of aircraft that utilize the airport pavements.
In evaluating airfield pavements for deep-seated distress, it is the number of coverages of each wheel on each aircraft over a given point of pavement that contributes to the deep-seated distress on or near that section of pavement. The distribution of aircraft traffic on the airport is a function of:
Wind direction, which dictates which runway is used
Landing length requirement of each aircraft and takeoff length requirement of each aircraft
Destination on the airport of each aircraft type.
Distribution of traffic on a given pavement section.

PAVEMENT EVALUATION STUDY
PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE/MANAGEMENT PLAN
Appendix D
Traffic Summary
For this evaluation, data was estimated showing how many operations utilized each of the 2 runway ends at the airport. The runway utilized by each aircraft is a function of the size and weight of using aircraft, wind direction, destination of the aircraft on the airfield, and pilot in command preference.
When an aircraft lands on a runway, only the heavier aircraft generally use the full length of runway. Intermediate and smaller size aircraft exit the runway at the appropriate cross taxiway. The taxiways that are used by aircraft are dependent upon the location at which the aircraft take off and land as well as the destination of the arriving aircraft on the airport.
Based on the aircraft characteristics, the runway use dictated by wind direction, and the destination of aircraft on the airport, the current annual operations of each aircraft have been evaluated to best represent the actual traffic that occurs on each segment of pavement. The traffic forecast to occur on each segment is defined as “Traffic Index.” A total of 14 traffic indexes were evaluated and used for this study.
On several pavement sections, such as the cross taxiways, hangar areas and aprons, the entire amount of traffic from a pavement complex was initially utilized even though the actual traffic experienced on these pavements will likely be much lower. This higher level of traffic was not further reduced in some areas since the pavement life on these pavements exceeded 20 years even with the higher than expected traffic levels. Pavements that showed less than 20 years of remaining life were further analyzed with the traffic index that represented their actual forecast traffic. The number of annual operations and estimated average annual growth rates for each aircraft group and each traffic index are indicated in Table No. D1. These traffic indexes were utilized in the evaluation of all pavements for deep-seated distress.
Using the traffic index and the total annual operations, the number of operations on a given segment of the airport can be estimated. Each operation does not travel over the same spot on a pavement and, therefore, the number of coverages on the pavement section will be less than the total operations for each traffic index. The distribution of traffic on each section is a function of the aircraft type, the gear type, the wind conditions, and the skill of the pilot. There is generally a fairly wide distribution of traffic on a runway; whereas, on a taxiway the traffic is more concentrated. On the aprons the traffic generally follows specified taxilane markings, but only a fraction of the total aircraft operate on each section of apron.
Different factors are applied to the operations estimated for a given section of the airport to convert operations to coverages. Coverages are used in the Fatigue Analysis for remaining pavement life calculations.
