I think not. The google aerial photos are the older reference, taken some
3-4 years ago. My interpretation is this: Since that time, the threshold
of Rwy 22 has been displaced some 600 ft SW, leaving what appears to be
designated as an overrun for Rwy 04. It appears the taxiway leading to it
from the end of Rwy 22 has been closed. The fed taxi chart appears to only
sow those areas of pavement open for use. I can't vouch for the
administrative points, but the photos and diagrams bear out my theory.


Remember that while the threshhold is displaced, the pavement behind the
displacement (original runway threshhold) is still available for takeoff.
