DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Land Use Change and Release of Grant Assurance 
Restrictions at the Oceano County Airport, Oceano, San Luis Obispo 
County, California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of a non-aeronautical land-use change.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and 
invites public comment on the application for a land-use change for 
approximately .834 acres of airport property at Oceano County Airport, 
Oceano, California. The land use change will permit the release of the 
aeronautical use provision of the Grant Assurances that require it to 
serve an airport purpose since the land is not needed for aeronautical 
uses. The released land will be used for storm drainage improvements 
intended to enhance the existing drainage system in the southerly 
portion of the Oceano community adjacent to the east portion of the 
Oceano County Airport. The project will also reduce existing runoff on 
airport property as well as alleviate an existing drainage problem on 
Highway 1 at 13th Street. The fair market value will be paid for the 
land and thereby serve the interest of civil aviation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 28, 2016

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed 
or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Mr. James W. Lomen, 
Manager, Federal Aviation Administration, San Francisco Airports 
District Office, Federal Register Comment, 1000 Marina Boulevard, Suite 
220, Brisbane, CA 94005. In addition, one copy of the comment submitted 
to the FAA must be mailed or delivered to Mr. Dave Flynn, Deputy 
Director of Public Works, County of San Luis Obispo, 1055 Monterey St., 
San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), 
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be 
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may 
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus 
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The County of San Luis Obispo, California requested a modification 
to the conditions in the Grant Assurances to permit the non-
aeronautical use of .834 acres of land at Oceano County Airport for the 
construction, maintenance, and operation of a permanent concrete 
sedimentation basin that is to be constructed below grade and that will 
collect and control surface water runoff from Airport and off-airport 
property. The land subject to the release is part of a larger 6.3-acre 
parcel that is currently being used for recreational vehicle (RV) 
storage on a month-to-month agreement. Drainage collected in the basin 
will ultimately flow to Arroyo Grande Creek via an existing airport 
drainage basin lying westerly of and adjacent to the proposed concrete 
basin. The new storm drain system will be located in the east portion 
of the Airport and will enhance the existing drainage facilities that 
serve the Oceano community since most of the Airport lies within the 
100-year flood plain. The project will reduce existing runoff on 
airport property and alleviate a drainage problem on Highway 1 at 13th 
Street. Fair market value will be paid for the property and rental 
revenue will continue to be collected for the portion of land (5.466 
acres) that continues to be used for RV storage. As a result, this 
project will reduce storm water runoff, preserve the RV storage rental 
revenue, and serve the interest of civil aviation.

    Issued in Brisbane, California, on September 15, 2016.

Assistant Manager, San Francisco Airports District Office, Western-
Pacific Region.
