SUMMARY
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) determined that a portion of Sulphur Creek that transverses Hayward Executive Airport (HEA) poses a potential safety hazard to aircraft that may veer off taxiways or runways in an emergency or for other reasons. The preferred solution is to enclose the open channels of the creek as well as grade the immediate areas surrounding the channels.
The three-phased project is entering the third phase. The first phase involved an Environmental Assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Following the FAA’s consultant selection criteria, Council approved a professional services agreement (PSA) with Kimley-Horn, for the design of the Sulphur Creek Mitigation project on July 17, 2018. The final phase is construction of the project. The project budget of $3,700,000 is funded via the FAA, Caltrans Division of Aeronautics, and the City’s Airport Enterprise fund.
