• As shown in these activity summaries, annual operations for the reliever <br />system have experienced steady growth for the historical period. Based aircraft, on <br />the other hand, have remained relatively constant in the same historic period.6. <br />SUMMARY <br />The inventory effort was conducted to identify existing conditions and facilities <br />provided by airports in the Regional System Reliever Airports Study azea. The inventory <br />also identified current issues that affect development at the study azea airports. Exhibit I- <br />13 provides an index of historical growth and a look at the anticipated future growth of <br />these airports. As shown, many of the airports have experienced a recent increase in <br />operations. Ma~+ of the airports' future growth. outlooks, however, are less optimistic due <br />to local issues such as access and development potential. <br />(1) MinneanolisSt. Paul International Airport <br />Minneapolis-St. Paul International recently completed a major pazking <br />expansion adjacent to the Lindbergh Terminal building. The access improvement <br />program is part of a continuing effort to refine its facilities. Aircraft noise and land <br />use compatibility issues continue to be at the forefront, as a proposed extension to <br />Rumvay 4/22 may result in a shifting of noise impacts from one area to another. An <br />environmental impact statement is currently being prepazed for the proposed Runway <br />4/22 extension. The two FBOs at the airport provide services for the based and <br />operational general aviation fleet. Aircraft storage and ramp facilities aze currently <br />fully utilized and future development potential appears to be minimal. MAC <br />supports the decentralization of general aviation aircraft in the region and the <br />transfer of general aviation operations and based aircraft from the airport to other <br />general aviation airports in the region. <br /> <br />I-46 <br />
