Frequent overflights out of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and Centennial Airport cause dismay on the ground
“Centennial Airport was developed in conjunction with the Denver Tech Center and the surrounding business parks and the airport has played a significant role in the economic development of Denver, specifically in the south end of the metropolitan area,” Fronapfel said.
Concern over lead is just as palpable up north. In Superior, elected leaders penned a detailed letter in April to the FAA and Jefferson County demanding that “unleaded avgas be made available at RMMA and leaded avgas be phased out from RMMA as soon as possible.” One of the most comprehensive lead studies involving airports comes from Colorado State University economics professor Sammy Zahran, who led a probe of leaded fuel combustion impacts on people living near Reid-Hillview Airport in east San Jose, California.
Many would like to see that same conviction at Centennial and Rocky Mountain airports. In a letter to Jefferson County commissioners that was signed by three dozen metro-area doctors and nurses last summer, neonatologist Pam Gewinner decried planes that “crop dust” lead particles on homes below. The switchover needs to happen nationally to make it viable, Anslow argued. He noted that the FAA has set a target of 2030 to end leaded gasoline use in the industry through the“RMMA is working to secure FAA grant funding to assist both on-field fixed-base operations with the purchase of unleaded fuel tanks,” he said.
