32-8. General Requirements.

Notice to Air Mission (NOTAM)

Report hazards in landing areas to the Airfield Manager, who, unless directed otherwise by the USACE supervisor/KO or COR, will prepare an FAA NOTAM.
During daylight, mark areas with reflective barricades, lights, signs, or orange/red flags as per FAA AC 150/5370-2G and with Airfield Manager's approval.
At night or in low visibility, use battery-operated, low-intensity omni-directional red flashing lights to outline areas, following the spacing guidance of FAA AC 150/5370-2G and with Airfield Manager's approval.

Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration

Submit FAA Form 7460-1 for new airfields, heliports, helipad, or hoverpoints construction or modifications that affect airspace or aircraft densities for FAA's aeronautical study.
File one form for the entire construction area and maximum equipment height, and separate forms for any object beyond or higher than the initially evaluated obstruction.

Prohibitions

Do not use tall equipment like cranes or concrete pumps unless an FAA Form 7460-1 response determination letter is issued by the FAA.
Do not use open-flame welding or torches unless fire safety precautions are met and approved by the Airport Operator.
Do not use electrical blasting caps within 1,000 feet of airport property, nor flare pots within the AOA.

32-8. General Requirements. (d.–f.).

d.  Notice to Air Mission (NOTAM)  (32-8.d)

(1)  Submit information on landing areas hazards to aircraft to the Airfield Manager.  Unless otherwise directed by the USACE supervisor/KO or COR, the Airfield Manager will prepare an FAA NOTAM for the hazards associated with the displaced threshold or other changes on non-use or caution.  Those landing areas hazardous to aircraft must be submitted to the Airfield Manager for a FAA NOTAM on displaced threshold or other changes on non-use or caution unless otherwise directed by the USACE supervisor/KO or COR.

(2)  During daylight, outline the areas with highly reflective barricades, lights, signs, and/or orange or red flags, spaced according to FAA AC 150/5370-2G and as approved by the Airfield Manager.  The flags must be at least 20 inch x 20 inch
    (51 cm x 51 cm), with diagonal plastic stiffeners.

(3)  During periods of darkness, outline the areas with battery-operated, low- intensity omni-directional red flashing lights spaced according to FAA AC 150/5370-2G and as approved by the Airfield Manager.

(4)  Lights must be red, either steady burning or flashing, and must meet the luminance requirements of the State Highway Department.  Mount the lights on barricades and space them no more than 10 feet (3 m) apart.  Operate the lights between sunset and sunrise and during periods of low visibility whenever the airport is open for operations. They may be controlled by photocell, but this may require that the contractor turn them on manually during periods of low visibility during daytime hours.

(5)  The USACE supervisor/KO or COR must keep the Airport Operator informed so that a NOTAM can be issued to reflect hazardous conditions or changes to the CSPP.

e.  Notice of Proposed Construction or Alternation.  Construction of new airfields, heliports, helipad or hoverpoints, or modifications to existing facilities affecting the use of airspace or changes in aircraft densities may require notification to the FAA Administrator. Promptly submit a notice of proposed construction or alternation (for example, FAA Form 7460-1 (Notice of Proposed Construction or Alternation) see para  32-10) to have the FAA conduct an aeronautical study of potential obstructions such as tall equipment (for example, cranes, concrete pumps), stockpiles, and haul routes.  One form may be filed describing the entire construction area and maximum equipment height or a separate form can be filed for each potential obstruction.  In the former case, a separate form must be filed for any object beyond or higher than the originally evaluated obstruction. (32-8.e)

f.  Prohibitions.  (32-8.f)

(1)  Do not use tall equipment (for example, cranes, concrete pumps) unless an FAA Form 7460-1 (Notice of Proposed Construction or Alternation) (see para 32-10) response determination letter is issued by the FAA for such equipment.

(2)  Do not use open-flame welding or torches unless fire safety precautions are provided, and the Airport Operator has approved their use.

(3)  Do not use electrical blasting caps on or within 1,000 feet (305 m) of the airport property.

(4)  Do not use flare pots within the AOA.
