ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW Air Quality. The project would temporarily increase emissions from construction vehicles and equipment. The increase would be temporary and minor. A construction emissions inventory may be necessary for the NEPA documentation associated with this project. Climate. The project would temporarily increase emissions from construction vehicles and equipment, including GHG emissions. The increase would be temporary and minor. An estimate of GHG emissions could be included in the construction emission inventory. Hazardous Materials, Pollution Prevention, and Solid Waste. The project would require the removal of the current roof material. The waste produced from this project is not anticipated to contain hazardous materials, and would be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and local rules and regulations. The project would not affect biological resources; Section 4(f) resources; farmlands; historical, architectural, archaeological, and cultural resources; land use; natural resources and energy supplies; noise and noise-compatible land use; socioeconomics, environmental justice, and chienvironmental health and safety risks; visual effects; or water resources because it would not change the footprint of the terminal building (i.e., increase impervious surface), increase the number of aircraft operating at the Airport, or change the airfield configuration. The roof replacement can be categorically excluded under FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-6.4(v). Given the minimal environmental effects and that there would be no extraordinary circumstances, it is anticipated that a CATEX would be the appropriate NEPA documentation for this project. 7.3.1.6 Runway 34R Wetland Fill for Wildlife Hazard (EA) The wetlands area at the end of Runway 34R poses a potential wildlife hazard to the Airport and has been identified as a critical short-term project. The project would include regrading the area to remove the presence of standing water and wetland characteristics. The following environmental resource categories may be affected: Air Quality. The project would temporarily increase emissions from construction vehicles and equipment. The increase would be temporary and minor. A construction emissions inventory may be necessary for the NEPA documentation associated with this project. Biological Resources. Wildlife may utilize the area given the presence of standing water and wetland characteristics. The regrading of the area and removal of the existing habitat characteristic could affect habitat utilized by wildlife. Given the location of the area (on Airport property at the end of an active runway), it is unlikely that species utilizing the area are non-mobile. It is expected the species would leave the area during disturbance and utilize similar habitat found elsewhere in the area. Climate. Similar to the potential air quality effects, the construction has the potential to increase GHG emissions. An estimate of GHG emissions could be included with the construction emissions inventory.
