Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. Section 47153(d), notice is being given that the FAA is considering a property swap at Augusta State Airport in Augusta, ME. The purpose of the land swap between the State of Maine (Airport Sponsor) and Dragon Products Company, Inc., to resolve a compliance issue. The 13 acre parcel is at the bottom of the slope on the departure end of RW 35, and lies approximately 300' below the elevation of the end of the Runway. This portion of land is not considered useable for aeronautical purposes based upon its location and elevation. The parcel currently contains a pile of hardened concrete spoils placed there by Dragon Products Company, Inc. The solutions to mitigate this situation include removal of the spoils pile, which would be cost prohibitive, or release the land to Dragon Products Company, Inc. as part of an equal value parcel exchange. The State of Maine determined the parcel exchange as the best alternative. The parcel that Dragon has offered for exchange abuts the Augusta State Airport property on one side and City of Augusta property on another. The Offered Parcel would be advantageous to the State of Maine for potential non-aeronautical airport revenue generating purposes. The State of Maine would retain all avigation rights over both parcels.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. Section 47153(d), 
notice is being given that the FAA is considering a property swap at 
Augusta State Airport in Augusta, ME.
    The purpose of the land swap between the State of Maine (Airport 
Sponsor) and Dragon Products Company, Inc., to resolve a compliance 
issue. The 13 acre parcel is at the bottom of the slope on the 
departure end of RW 35, and lies approximately 300' below the elevation 
of the end of the Runway. This portion of land is not considered 
useable for aeronautical purposes based upon its location and 
elevation. The parcel currently contains a pile of hardened concrete 
spoils placed there by Dragon Products Company, Inc. The solutions to 
mitigate this situation include removal of the spoils pile, which would 
be cost prohibitive, or release the land to Dragon Products Company, 
Inc. as part of an equal value parcel exchange. The State of Maine 
determined the parcel exchange as the best alternative. The parcel that 
Dragon has offered for exchange abuts the Augusta State Airport 
property on one side and City of Augusta property on another. The 
Offered Parcel would be advantageous to the State of Maine for 
potential non-aeronautical airport revenue generating purposes. The 
State of Maine would retain all avigation rights over both parcels.
