placed into the upcoming FY 25 budget. Post runway project, the airport, will be working with
Lochner on, locatilons for the new fuell farm. Ideally, the new- fuel farm, would sit where the old
tanks are by using a fAlse bottom, and, after the old tanks are decommissioned. Using the same
location will be a hurdle to overcome. FAA and T wfll needto sign, off on this plan. Estimated,
cost of decommissioning the old fuel tanks, 'is, around S50K.
