Grand Canyon National Park Airport Drainage Master Plan and Water Use Study
Grand Canyon National Park Airport Drainage Master Plan and Water Use Study
A Drainage Master Plan and Water Use Study for the Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN) has been initiated to assess its existing airport drainage deficiencies, level of past and current potable water use, and the evaluation of existing water treatment and storage systems.
This Study was an outgrowth of the Airport Master Plan (AMP) recently completed by the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Planning Division Aeronautics Group and was identified by the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) as a goal for next steps.
The goals of this study are:
- Developing a Drainage Master Plan and Water Use Study consistent with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines and recommendations
- Estimating future water demands considering the Airport Master Plan planned development
- Evaluating reasonable alternatives for providing increased potable water source(s)
Study phases include:
- Data collection and existing conditions analysis
- Alternatives analysis and draft Drainage Master Plan
- Implementation phase and cost analysis
- Final Drainage Master Plan
The Grand Canyon National Park Drainage Master Plan and Water Use Study will be prepared in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Arizona Department of Transportation's Multimodal Planning Division Aeronautics Group (ADOT-MPD, Aeronautics Group) guidelines and industry-accepted practices, including Advisory Circular 150/5070-6B, Airport Master Plans, and Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A, Airport Design. This study is anticipated to take approximately 14 months to complete, which includes time for agency reviews.

This section contains materials provided and presented to the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). The PAC is a volunteer group that has been selected to represent a broad constituency of airport stakeholders and to provide input and feedback during the development of the Drainage Master Plan and Water Use Study. The original PAC was developed during the recently completed GCN Airport Master Plan (AMP) process. To continue the continuity of the AMP committee, a majority of the PAC members will also participate on this study to leverage their knowledge and experience. Some PAC members changed slightly from the AMP to reflect the focus of the new study. The PAC includes representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration, Arizona Department of Transportation's Multimodal Planning Division Aeronautics Group, Havasupai Tribe, airport businesses, tenants, county and local municipal governments, and other area interest groups. The PAC consists of approximately 20 members to help facilitate detailed discussion and exchange of ideas.
Public Outreach - GCNPA Drainage Master Plan and Water Use Study
The approach to public involvement during the Drainage Master Plan and Water Use Study is multifaceted. Public information workshops will occur during the study. The workshops will be conducted in an open-house format, where the public and airport stakeholders can visit with the project team and ask study-related questions. The workshops are typically scheduled in the early evening. The date, time and location of the workshops will be advertised and posted in advance on this website.
The community and airport stakeholders are encouraged to provide comments and feedback to the project team. Comment sheets are provided to the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) and at the public information workshops. The community and airport stakeholders can also use the Comments tab on this website.
