a crosswind runway in order to achieve the desired 95% coverage. A crosswind ' runway alignment of 9-27, used in this alternative and shown in Figure 3, achieves only an 81 percent wind coverage or a mere 3 percent net increase. The crosswind runway is located south of the proposed westerly extension of ' County #116, from its present terminus at Ramsey Boulevard, but as close as ' possible to Ramsey Boulevard. As with the primary runway alignment, the clear zone and safety zone areas at both ends of the crosswind runway do not include any existing buildings or developments. However, the approximate 50 acres. of land within the clear and safety zones at both ends of the crosswind runway ' are zoned entirely industrial and include prime sites at the Gateway Industrial ' Park on the east and along the Burlington Northern - Highway #10, #52, and #169. transportation facilities on the west. Alternate #2 Layout #2, as shown on Figure 4, uses the same crosswind runway alignment as Alternate #1, but the primary runway alignment has been rotated more northerly to achieve a greater wind coverage. The primary runway, oriented to a 13-31 alignment, attains a wind coverage in excess of 82 percent with a combined run- way wind coverage of over 89 percent. The location and impacts of the crosswind runway alignment are the same as identified with Alternate #1. However, in addition to rotating the primary runway alignment, the primary surface is also relocated to the northwest to be as close as possible to County Road #83, Armstrong Boulevard, to minimize the adverse impacts in the southeast approach zone. 14
