our expanded facility because of the avai 1 abl i ty of land which could be purchased on the perimeter of the airport , the lenght of its runway, and because it is close in proximity to our current location . If we are not allowed ' through—the—fenceaccess to the Stockton airport , then there is no reason for Aero Turbine to move to Stockton . n . Any air emissions that the project could generate? The only air emissions from this project would be the exhaust from various aircraft and test engines. o. Any substantial site alteration that may be required? I believe that the ground will require fill and grading because the site is located in a flood area. - This question will be better answered by the engineering firm of Quartaroli and Associates. If I may, I would like this opportunity to make a few comments. It would seem that there is still some misunderstanding as what Aero Turbine does as a business. We are in the business of overhauling aircraft jet engines and their component parts. We , also, manufacture spare parts for aircraft jet engines. We actually overhaul only one or two whole engines per year . Most of our business is in component - parts. The engines and components we overhaul are sent to us via ' - commercial truck . We perform the overhaul and return the engines and/or components via commercial truck . In the case where we manufacture parts, we deliver those parts via commercial truck . In our current situation , there is no reason for us to be located on or near an airport . We have been in our current location , without the benefit of an airport , for nearly eight (8) years. None of the engines or components we work on are delivered to us by aircraft . What we are trying to do at Stockton is this: build an aircraft maintenance facility which will allow us to expand our current operations to include airframe repair . It is our desire to expand into the airframe repair which makes locating next to a runway necessary. Also, we would like to locate our engine repair and manufacturing facility next to the maintenance hangar . If we cannot find a suitable location , next to a runway, then we will simply not move from our present location . Approximately ninety percent (?8%) of our engine and component business is in government contracts. This, also, would be true for the airframe work we wish to pursue . This kind of business generates a small volume , but large dollars. A good example of this kind of contract would be a recent Navy contract for the overhaul of fifty (58) F86 aircraft . This contract was approximately $28 million over a five year period. These particular aircraft were in pieces. They would be shipped via commercial truck to the contractors facility, repaired, assembled, test flown , and then flown to their destinaton . This would
