INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Airport has a Pest Control Fireworks permit issued by the Oregon State Police for purposes of hazing all types of birds and animals that pose a risk to Airport operations. This permit was issued on January 10, 2017 and remains valid until December 31, 2019. Climate Relevant federal laws, regulations, and EOs that relate to climate include: »CAA (42 U.S.C. §§ 7408, 7521, 7571, 7661 et seq.); »EO 13514, Federal Leadership in Environment Energy and Economic Performance (74 FR 52117); »EO 13653, Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change (78 FR 66817); and »EO 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability (80 FR 15869). Greenhouse gases (GHG) are gases that trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Both naturally occurring and man-made GHGs primarily include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride. Activities that require fuel or power are the primary stationary sources of GHGs at airports. Aircraft and ground access vehicles that are not under the control of an airport, typically generate more GHG emissions than airport controlled sources. Research has shown there is a direct correlation between fuel combustion and GHG emissions. In terms of U.S. contributions, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that "domestic aviation contributes about three percent of total carbon dioxide emissions, according to EPA data," compared with other industrial sources, including the remainder of the transportation sector (20 percent) and power 12 generation (41 percent). The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) estimates that GHG 13 emissions from aircraft account for roughly three percent of all anthropogenic GHG emissions globally. Coastal Resources The primary statutes, regulations, and EOs that protect coastal resources include: »Coastal Barrier Resources Act (16 U.S.C. § 3501 et seq.); »Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) (16 U.S.C. § 1451-1466); »National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. §1431 et seq.); »EO 13089, Coral Reef Protection (63 FR 32701); and »EO 13547, Stewardship of the Ocean, Our Coasts, and the Great Lakes (75 FR 43021-43027). The CZMA and NOAA provide procedures for ensuring that an action is consistent with approved coastal zone management programs. Oregon’s coastal zone extends from the Washington border on the north to 14 the California border to the south and encompasses about 7,800 square miles. 12 U.S. Government Accountability Office, Report to Congressional Committees, Aviation and Climate Change, June 2009.
