Cleanup spruces up Pacific City Airport More than 45 volunteers showed up to participate on Saturday, Sept. 22 for a Pacific City Airport Clean-up sponsored by the Friends of Pacific City State Airport and the Oregon Department of Aviation. ODA Airport Specialist John Wilson helped supervise the project all day with some additional equipment from the State. “The amount of work completed exceeded our expectations,” said organizer Sally Rissel. “The project took a lot of pre-planning. We had safety vests for everyone and a doctor and nurse as part of the crew.” Participating volunteers ranged in age from 10 to 80 — some of whom came from small airports such as Milino and Independence. Others taking part were local pilots and local residents who, Rissel says, value the existence of the airport. “Volunteers brought their own equipment and were running dump trucks, pickups, tractors, backhoes, chippers, chainsaws, weed eaters, pruners and chippers,” she said. “We had eight chainsaws and three chippers running throughout the day. Three excavators cleaned ditches. Old tires and other nasty debris was removed to go to a landfill. Willow overgrowth was cut back and weeds that had grown up on the asphalt was removed.” Other work completed included the mowing of the airport’s grass and the cutting down of several large trees — thanks to experienced tree removal experts. As well, dump trucks hauled away 98 yards of chips. The volunteers worked for eight hours — only stopping for a hearty lunch supplied by donations from local businesses. Donated sustenance included plenty of water, coffee, scones and donuts (donated by Grateful Bread and MegPies Bakery/Cafe) and a lunch of brats, hot dogs, sandwiches, and salad to feed the crew. “The airport runway is now free of weeds, airport boundaries are expanded and visibility at each end of the runway is improved,” Rissel said. “The partnership between Friends of Pacific City State Airport and ODA is continuing to make a list of the next projects that will make the Pacific City State Airport one of the best and safest airports on the Oregon Coast.”
