The airport is also expandingits underground fuel distribution system in responseto the terminal expansion. The current lease area is23,033 square metres.De-icing Long-Term RequirementsIt is recommended that one central de-icing pad beconstructed which will serve all departing aircraft atthe west end of the airfield at the base of Runway02.This central location will be adequate for aircraftdeparting Runway 02 and in the event that a thirdrunway is constructed, its location will be proximal tothat of departures Runway 29.Snow RemovalAs part of the site servicing plan, a snow storage siteis proposed that will accommodate EIA’s ultimatedevelopment. It has been recommended that twosnow storage sites be constructed to service EIA.One will be located on the airside and anotheron the groundside to avoid any truck movementbetween the airside and the groundside. This willalso allow for efficiency in treatment and reducedhaul lengths.Solid Waste RemovalWhen dealing with waste at the airport, there are twocategories to consider:1. Airline waste2.
