 Household Hazardous Waste Facility – Waste Resources submitted the revised Environmental Assessment (EA) to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on May 29, 2018. The Los Angeles FAA ADO office reassigned this project to the San Francisco ADO office and assigned for review from Doug Pomeroy, Project Planner. Doug Pomeroy sent an email on February 26, 2019 indicating that the review of the EA was near finalization. EDA Executive Management approached the FAA, Airport District’s Office, Los Angeles, on March 22, 2019 and requested assistance in moving this item forward. This project has now been reassigned to the Los Angeles Office. The FAA is currently exploring applicable exclusion to the EA process that may be available in new legislation.  Design work for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Project (AIP) for Runway 18/36, Taxiway A and Connector Rehabilitation Project has been completed. Bid Opening took place on June 20, 2019. Total Project cost is approximately $2.4 Million. FAA grant of $2.2 Million has been awarded and $112,000 as a State match funding has also been received. The remaining balance will be covered through the County’s aviation funds. Construction is anticipated to begin in February or March 2020.  Staff has received two inquiries regarding current opportunities for hangar development at the French Valley Airport. Both interested parties are seeking ground space to accommodate the construction of a large hangar that will have the capacity to house business jets. The best suitable ground space available is the vacant property located north of the Terminal Building. This vacant property is approximately three (3) acres in size. Subsequently staff posted the RFP for the land development at the French Valley Airport on March 22, 2019. The deadline to submit a proposal for this RFP was July 15, 2019. Staff received one bid for the RFP from Barbers Point Holding and the initial evaluation interview took place on August 6 and August 26, 2019. Staff requested a letter from Barbers Point Holdings bank to demonstrate their financial standing to move forward with project and final determination from Aviation to begin negotiation for the Lease/project. To date, no bank letter has been received. A follow-up meeting has been scheduled on Friday, December 13, 2019 with Barbers Point Holdings for discussion of pending requested items to continue consideration of development.  On October 4, 2019 Riverside Air Service (RAS) FBO fuel spill incident took place due to a bad gasket of the fuel truck in the ramp area within their leasehold. The Fire department and the County Hazard Management department responded to the incident. The area around the truck was cleaned by RAS, approximately 100 gallons of jet fuel was spilled. Staff is working with tenant and DEH for additional soil testing of spill area to determine any additional remediation efforts needed.  Staff began crack sealing the northeast ramp area on November 19, 2019. Weather delays have been experienced. Project will continue in January 13, 2020.  New landscape improvements to the two industrial parks are anticipated to take place in the coming weeks. This will include cleanup of overgrown shrubs and trees and improvement to the irrigation. Work began December 5, 2019 with improvements ongoing.  The Master Lease between the County of Riverside and Business Opportunities expired on July 31, 2019. The lease was for an approximate 4.41 acre parcel that was developed by Business Opportunities, and includes an approximate 39,784 square foot building. Upon the expiration, the County took control of the existing 39,784 square foot building and began negotiations for direct leases with the existing four tenants. To date, three of four subtenants have signed a temporary lease with the County. The County has received inquiries from two parties for the space vacated by the fourth tenant. The County will review the proposals from the parties, once they are received.
