They can't physically expand to the north without demolishing buildings and drastically restricting the required aircraft performance for northbound departures. However, by lengthening 15/33 into the river to the southeast performance and airport usability is increased. Currently, runway 4 is closed for arrivals but not departures. The same runway but the opposite direction, 22, is never used. By adding EMAS to the displaced threshold on the departure end of 4 the stopping and overrun distance for 22 is greatly increased and now falls into the required safety requirements of the FAA.(I doubt they would begin 22 operations though probably due to noise abatement over Old Town) the only real drawback I see is further limiting employee parking on the south side of the airport.
That being said, has anyone ever fished the flats at the outflow of 4 mile run by the airport parking for carp? Looks like it would be great sight fishing as the water is less than a few feet deep
