5050.4 3/21/80 (17) Solid Waste Impact. (a) Airport actions which relate only to airfield development (runways, taxiways, and related items) will not normally include any direct relationship to solid waste collection, control, or disposal other than that associated with the construction itself (reference paragraph 47e(18)). (b) Terminal area development may involve circumstances which require consideration of solid waste impacts. Preliminary review should indicate if the projected quantity or type of solid waste generation or method of collection or disposal will be appreciably different than would be the case without the action. If there is an appreciable difference, consultation with local officials shall determine if there is any potential problem with either capacity of available disposal facilities or location which may violate any local, state, or Federal regulations. Special attention shall be given to the control of hazardous waste. (c) Consultation with local officials shall also determine the location of all solid waste disposal facilities within or planned to be within 1,500 meters of all runways planned to be used by piston -type aircraft and within 3,000 meters of all runways planned to be used by turbojet aircraft. A preliminary study of disposal sites within the above distances should determine if a potential bird hazard exists and if the affected planned runways need to be modified. (Meters used in lieu of feet per EPA.) (d) The environmental assessment shall document the results of the consultation; the nature of any potential problems, including the siting of runways in the vicinity of active or planned solid waste disposal facilities; and the manner in which waste products will be controlled to comply with any applicable regulations. If it is necessary to explain a problem concerning solid waste system loading resulting from terminal development, an estimate of current and projected quantities of waste production and disposal capacity shall be included. Only if there are significant unresolved issues will addi- tional analysis be needed in an environmental impact statement. (18) Construction Impacts. (a) Specific effects during construction which may create adverse environmental impacts include noise of construction equipment on the site, noise and dust from delivery of materials through residential streets, creation of borrow pits and disposal of spoil, air pollution from burning debris, and water pollution from erosion. The extent to which any of these effects are subject to local, state, or Federal ordinances or regulations shall be discussed as applicable together with measures to be taken to conform with such requirements. (b) In general, impacts during construction are of lesser magnitude than long term impacts of the proposed action. Many of the specific types of impacts which could occur will be covered in the descriptions of Page 56 Chap 5 Par 47
