Is the runway 5 miles long? Seriously, the SPOC site is already a compromise site- by design- not a dark-sky site at all. It's close proximity to population centers is needed for effective public outreach. With the growth of the Wasatch front as well as Tooele valley, the writing is on the wall. We should just use it for as long as we can. In a decade or three, it will be time to move it. If gas prices continue to climb, I won't be able to afford to drive to any dark-sky sites very often, anyway! *:o( * On 5/25/07, Kurt Fisher <fisherka@csolutions.net> wrote:
The Tooele County Commission has begun a 102 acre (10 SLC blocks) expansion of the Tooele Airport. I believe Tooele Airport is about 5 miles from SPOC. Will this expansion impact SPOC operations? - Kurt
