It is owned by the Salt Lake City Department of Airports and is located five nautical miles (9.26 km) northwest of the central business district of the City of Tooele.[2] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is categorized as a general aviation airport.[3]
