Again, I do not have the specific documentation, but in a nutshell, if
it's for private use, you need to adhere to all the State DOT regs
pertaining to Private Use Airports. If it's for public use, you need
to comply with those requirements, i.e. Airport Safety Zone, 7 to 1
glide ratio to a certain distance away from the runway, lighting as
applicable, etc...

I know someone who did this for a heliport in Northern NJ, it took
quite a while, and cost a bunch of money.

Here in ID, your runway has to be 2000' from the nearest neighbor to get
approval for a new airstrip. In practice, this takes quite a bit of land,
hundreds of acres.

Bigger than the lower 48, actually, by a fair bit. Only Russia is bigger,
by land area... (even after the USSR spun off the Ukraine, the 'stans, and
stuff, Russia is still bigger!)

Just because not enough people want to live in Canada to provide
neighbors within 2000 feet is no reason to get arrogant! :-)
