its being posted as a landing restriction for the temp runway. It's confusing for sure!
"- General aviation and private aviation activity will be maintained in a limited capacity through use of the airport's primary taxiway as an alternate runway for B-II category and design group aircraft and smaller"

The best I can tell from reading several publications is, B is the approach cat and II is the design group..aka a wing span limitation.

Try this:

1. Category A: Speed less than 91 knots
2. Category B: Speed 91 knots or more, but less than 121 knots

3. Category C: Speed 121 knots or more, but less than 141 knots
4. Category D: Speed 141 knots or more, but less than 166 knots
5. Category E: Speed 166 knots or more.
Airplane Design Group (Physical Characteristics). The airplane design group subdivides
airplanes by wingspan. The airplane design group concept links an airport's dimensional standards
to aircraft approach categories or to airplane design groups or to runway instrumentation
configurations.
1. Airplane Design Group I: Wingspan up to but not including 49 feet (15m)
2. Airplane Design Group II: Wingspan 45 feet (15m) up to but not including
79 feet (24m)
3. Airplane Design Group Ill: Wingspan 79 feet (24m) up to but not including
118 feet (36m)
4. Airplane Design Group IV: Wingspan 118 feet (36m) up to but not including
171 feet (52m)
5. Airplane Design Group V: Wingspan 171 feet (52m) up to but not including
214 feet (60m)
6. Airplane Design Group VI: Wingspan 214 feet (60m) up to but not including

* Per A/C 150/5300-13, Does not include military operations.

so will the FAA be calling ??

If they where able to make a descent in vfr conditions from the mea to the intended field of landing and the wing span is under 79 feet than there is nothing wrong with the flight from what I can tell.

It is a landing restriction, not an approach restriction in this case. Here is the NOTAM:

Eagle CO (Eagle County Rgnl) [EGE]: April NOTAM #27 Aerodrome closed aircraft wingspan GTR THAN 79 / approach speed GTR THAN 120KTS except ARC B - II and LWR effective from April 15th, 2009 at 09:00 AM CDT (0904151400) - September 01st, 2009 at 08:00 AM CDT (0909011300)
