This construction will result in development of a basic transport airport which will accommodate 70 percent of the basic transport fleet of turbojet-powered aircraft weighing less than 60,000 pounds. There will be approximately 50 acres of clearing; increased intermittent noise levels due to occasional operations by small 'business jet' aircraft; and slightly increased air pollution due to operation of these aircraft.
