Ed:
Thank you for the inquiry.
May 30th of this year in the afternoon, a sport aircraft crashed shortly
after taking off on runway 17. The aircraft slid onto the runway and the left
wing tank was opened by the grinding action of the composite material of the
wing on the runway. Some 20 plus gallons of fuel leaked onto the runway and
ate
through the asphalt binder exposing the aggregate beneath. This damage must
be repaired prior to the onset of winter and the freezing temperatures that
accompany it.
In an effort to be less of a hindrance to the flying public, this work will
be done at night, September 12th and begin at 6:00 p.m., and should start and
finish the same night.
NOTAMs will be issued prior to the day of the work.
I thank you for your support
