Who is funding the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report?
The FAA is funding 90% of the total cost of preparing the Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report with the County of Marin funding the remaining 10%. 10. Would the proposed runway extension, if completed, enable larger private aircraft to land at Gnoss Field? Could this eventually pave the way for future commercial jet service to and from the Airport? As noted in Question #1 above, Gnoss Field is classified by the FAA as a “general aviation” airport, which means it is restricted to serving only unscheduled personal and business aircraft that typically range from single-engine private planes to corporate jets. The proposed runway extension would not enable the Airport to change its classification or serve private aircraft that are any larger than those now accommodated. The proposed runway extension is not part of a planned first step toward transforming Gnoss Field into a full service, commercial airport with scheduled service to other cities.
