8.14 Contractor may request a laydown yard from the CO. Laydown must be brought back to it’s the original state.

8.15 Proper airfield fencing reduces airfield incursions by terrestrial wildlife. The best procedure for keeping large mammals off the airfield is an adequate fence. An 8-foot chain link fence with 3-strand barbed outriggers and secured at the ground will keep most mammals off the airfield. A four (4) foot skirt of chain link fence material, attached to the bottom of the fence and buried at a 45 degree angle on the outside of the fence will prevent animals from digging underneath, while reducing washouts. Rebar offers a cost effective solution when patching gaps under a fence to prevent wildlife from entering the airfield. Heavy gravel may be used to armor fence bottoms. Repair fence breaches upon detection.

8.16 Remove vegetation on and along the fence line wherever noted. Maintain a buffer zone free from brushy and woody vegetation on both sides of the security fence where able.

This practice will help maintain the integrity of the fence by allowing easier access for inspection and maintenance as well as discouraging the growth of woody vegetation on
