The project plans to acquire land for airport development. The airport will consist of a 3500' x 75' paved runway, 300' x 150' apron and connecting taxiway and ultimate runway development to 4700' x 100'. The site proposed for development is an existing privately-owned airport consisting of a landing strip constructed with fragmentary shale. The area surrounding the proposed development is undeveloped land essentially void of homes and consequently will have no affect on humans. Airports of this size and type have been studied by the Environmental Protection Agency and found to have no significant adverse effect on air quality. The use of water supply, sanitary sewage, and solid waste disposal services will not be appreciably affected as a result of this project. There will be no significant change to the field drainage system of the existing airport due to the relatively small area being graded. The impact of the project on wildlife, etc. will be minimal. The proposed improvements will not drastically alter the pattern of behavior of any wildlife species. No streams, lakes or ponds are located on the airport site. Therefore, no fish or marine life will be endangered by the proposed project. The alternatives to the proposed development are to either develop a new site elsewhere or abandon plans for a new public airport. The overall environmental effect is considered minimal, and not sufficient to warrant serious consideration of the alternatives. The proposed project should add to the appearance of the area by converting existing barren land into a vegetated viable land area.
