Public Inquiry: Spa-La Sauvenière Aerodrome

A public inquiry has been opened concerning the single permit issued to SOWAER on October 4, 2024, for the Spa-La Sauvenière aerodrome. This permit relates to the continuation of aerodrome activities, the compliance of the eastern part of the runway (with channels for runoff water), the installation of hydrocarbon separators and a sludge trap before discharge into the Ruisseau Soyeuruy, as well as the waterproofing and installation of a hydrocarbon separator at the "Sunset S-0" parking lot (P1) and the aircraft and vehicle parking area. This permit has been subject to internal appeals by SOWAER, Spa Monopole, and SRL Skydiving promotion. As part of the review of these appeals, an acoustic study was carried out on February 3, 2025, in the village of Hockai (Stavelot) to update sound measurements following a propeller change on the OO-SPA parachutist aircraft in 2020. The file can be consulted from April 14, 2025. The inquiry will close on May 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM. You can consult the file at the municipal administrations of Spa (Rue de l’Hôtel de Ville 44), Stavelot (Place Saint-Remacle 32), and Jalhay (Rue de la Fagne 46). Written observations can be addressed to the municipal colleges of Spa, Stavelot, or Jalhay at the addresses mentioned above. The file is also available online on the Spa-La Sauvenière aerodrome website.
