Airport hazards contrary to public interest
Official statutory text
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 64
It is hereby found that an airport hazard endangers the lives
and property of users of the airport and of occupants of land in its
vicinity, and also, if of the obstruction type, in effect reduces
the size of the area available for the landing, taking off and
maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the
utility of the airport and the public investment therein.
Accordingly, it is hereby declared: (a) that the creation or
establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an
injury to the community served by the airport in question; (b) that
it is therefore necessary in the interest of the public health,
public safety, and general welfare that the creation or
establishment of airport hazards be prevented. It is further
declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment
of airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration,
mitigation, or marking and lighting of existing airport hazards are
public purposes for which political subdivisions and the Commission
may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or property
interests therein.
