Within the surfaces detailed in Sections
16.50 - 16.120, the following
uses are prohibited:
a) Electrical or
Electronic Interference. No use shall be made so as to create electrical or
electronic interference with aeronautical navigational signals, radio, or radar
communication between the airport or with aircraft using the airport's
facilities. Before it is determined that a hazard exists, the Division will
observe all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the type of
aircraft using the airport, the traffic patterns at the airport, the time of
day, and frequency of the interference. When a hazard exists, the Division will
issue a letter stating mitigation measures that must be complied with within 30
calendar days after issuance of the letter, or within that period of time
specified in the letter, to avoid penalties (see Section
16.200).
b) Illuminated Structures or Light Sources.
No installation and use of flashing or illuminated advertising or business
signs, billboards, spotlights, or any other type of illuminated structure or
light source that will be hazardous for pilots shall be permitted. Before it is
determined that a hazard exists, the Division will observe all relevant
factors, including, but not limited to, assessing the difficulty pilots have in
distinguishing between airport lights and others or that result in glare in the
eyes of pilots using the airport, thereby impairing visibility in the vicinity
of the airport or endangering the landing, takeoff or maneuvering of aircraft,
the proximity of the illuminated structure or light source to the airport, and
the traffic patterns at the airport. When a hazard exists, the Division will
issue a letter stating mitigation measures that must be complied with within 30
calendar days after issuance of the letter, or within that period of time
specified in the letter, to avoid penalties (see Section
16.200).
c) Environmental Discharge
1) A use that emits or discharges smoke
(e.g., exhaust from a smoke stack), that interferes with the health and safety
of pilots and the public in the use of the airport, or that is otherwise
detrimental or injurious to the health, safety and general welfare of the
public in the use of the airport.
2) A use that emits thermal discharge (e.g.,
steam from a power plant), that interferes with the pilot's vision in the use
of the airport.
3) A use that
significantly causes air turbulence (e.g., exhaust from a peaker plant) where
aircraft limit loads may be exceeded.
4) Any other kind of emission that may cause
a safety of flight issue as determined by the Division.
In determining if an emission or environmental discharge will
interfere with the health and safety of pilots and the public, the Division
will observe all relevant factors, which include, but are not limited to, the
density of discharge, frequency of the emission or discharge, source of the
discharge, general weather patterns in the vicinity, time of day, and volume
and type of aircraft that use the airport. When a hazard exists, the Division
will issue a letter stating mitigation measures that must be complied with
within 30 calendar days after issuance of the letter, or within that period of
time specified in the letter, to avoid penalties (see Section
16.200).
