The inclusion of Gateway North Industrial Airport on the National Plan of <br />Integrated Systems (NPIAS) indicates there is federal interest in the Gateway <br />North Industrial Airport as part of the a system which has been established to <br />meet present and future needs of civil aeronautics, It also indicates that <br />the airport is qualified to apply for Federal funds for airport improvement <br />purposes. These funds, from the Airport Improvement Program, may or may not <br />be granted depending upon availability of funds, competition for funds, etc. <br />CONCLUSION <br />The construction of the proposed Site P landfill would have significant envi- <br />ronmental impacts on the Gateway North Industrial Airport. The landfill, due <br />to its close proximity to the airport, would create hazards which have been <br />found by FAA to be incompatible with airport operations. These hazards are <br />discussed in FAA Order 5200.5 and Advisory Circular 150/5300-4B, Change 8. As <br />a result, FAA would not approve federal funding for airport improvements at <br />Gateway North Industrial Airport if the proposed landfill were constructed. <br />Continued operation of the- airport appears. to be contingent upon FAA funding. <br />If funding is not provided, in all likelihood the airport, which has been <br />found to be a significant airport by its inclusion in the NPIAS and Metropoli- <br />tan Airport's Systems Regional Plan, will close. <br />R/A/BB4 <br />
