MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 4, 1995 <br />PACE TWO <br />c) A discussion of the extent to which <br />construction of Phases lA and 1B could <br />affect the probability of Phases 2 and <br />3. <br />d) A review of options for shifting the <br />north/south runway to the north including <br />the northerly shift of as much as 2700 ft. <br />6. Peak hour conditions and auto routes traveled will <br />be assessed in the EIS. <br />7. Compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan will be <br />addressed in the EIS process. <br />8. Wildlife biologists and Minnesota Department of <br />Natural Resources Staff will investigate whether <br />egrets are nesting on the airport property or in <br />any suitable and adjacent habitat during the <br />Spring of 1985. <br />9. A species list for the area will be prepared and <br />the potential impacts to animal species on the <br />list will be assessed in the EIS process. <br />10. Aircraft noise modeling in the EIS process will <br />reflect variations in both flight tracks and <br />approach and departure profiles actually observed <br />at the airport. <br />11. The Ldn noise metric as well as the state noise <br />metric standard in place at the time noise analysis <br />is prepared will be used in the EIS document. <br />12. In response to a comment from Thomas Balcom, Environ- <br />mental Review Coordinator for the Minnesota Department <br />of Natural Resources, which stated that, "Contrary to <br />the Scoping EAW, loss of upland habitat must be studied <br />in the EIS as wildlife will not relocate, but rather <br />be diminished." The EIS will evaluate the possible <br />loss of upland habitat and plan to replace upland <br />habitat at the airport. <br />13. A general discussion of the benefit of the airport to <br />the community will be provided in the EIS document as <br />well as an evaluation of the impact project construction <br />and use will have on the human environment. <br />
