hydrocarbons, and carbon dioxide. On a nationwide basis, <br />pollutants emitted from general aviation aircraft constitute less <br />than one percent of the total quantities emitted by all sources. <br />No significant impacts are anticipated with the proposed <br />improvements. <br />Airport Construction <br />A temporary source of pollution will be construction equipment <br />and construction -related storage of materials. Dust and <br />spraying, fuel spills, and equipment emissions would be potential <br />sources of pollution. <br />Due to the location of the airport, there will be limited effects <br />on the area's air quality during the construction phase, and <br />these are expected to be a temporary concern. Minimum suggested <br />abatement strategies during the construction period are outlined <br />in Appendix B. <br />2.9 SOCIAL IMPACTS <br />The major social impacts to be considered are those associated <br />with the acquisition and relocation program of the proposed <br />improvement. In addition, a segment of Industrial Boulevard <br />(CSAH 116) will need to be relocated to provide adequate approach <br />clearances. <br />Due to the number of residents potentially affected and the <br />number of parcels involved, the City contracted with a relocation <br />specialist to assist with the preliminary evaluation and develop- <br />ment of a relocation plan (Appendix C). Approximately 230 acres <br />of land is recommended to be purchased including 19 homes and two <br />commercial establishments. Figure 2-12 illustrates the proposed <br />acquisition program. Table 2-5 indicates the owners and sizes of <br />each parcel. Approximately half of the homes to be purchased are <br />less than 10 years old. The relocation plan also identified six <br />business operations which may be affected by acquisition. These <br />include a drywall contracting business run out of a homestead <br />parcel, two residents who have offices in their homes, and three <br />absentee landlords who rent residential housing units. <br />Additionally, an avigation easement is required to protect a <br />portion of the clear zone (0.8 acres) in the south approach. The <br />easement would allow continued use of the land as a parking lot <br />but would allow for the right of passage of aircraft and the <br />right to remove any trees or structures which might penetrate the <br />approach path. <br />A complete survey of the project area was undertaken by the <br />relocation consultant to identify the characteristics and needs <br />of the potential displacees. The area is classified as a medium <br />income area inhabited by young, growing families, working adults <br />2-28 <br />
