5 200' 5 <br /> <br />10/16/74 <br /> <br />bo <br /> <br />Co <br /> <br />do <br /> <br />incompa[ible land use under guidelines of paragraph 5 and cannot be <br />closed within a reasonable time, it should be designed and operated <br />in accordance'with the criteria and instructions issued by the <br />Environmgntal Protection Agency, the Department of Health, Education <br />and Welfare, and other such regulatory bodies that may have applica- <br />ble requirements. FAA should advise airport owners against locating, <br />permitting or concurring in the location of a landfill on or in <br />the vicinity of airports. <br /> <br />%he operation of a sanitary landfill located beyond the areas <br />described in paragraph 5 and designed in accordance with the guide- <br />lines identified in the foregoing paragraph must Be properly super- <br />vised to insure ccmpatibility with the airport. If at any time the <br />landfill, by virtue of its operation, presents a potential hazard <br />to aircraft operations, the owner shall take action to correct the <br />sitomtion or terminate operation of the landfill. Failure to.~take <br />corrective action could m]ace the air.mort owner in noncomp~li~ance <br />with the commitments under a grant agreement. <br /> <br />An inspection of current gperations at existing landfill sites which <br />have a reported potential bird hazard problem will periodically be <br />made and evaluated. A Bird ~azard Group formed under Order 5200.4 <br />dated 11/20/73 could appropriately be available for consultation <br />regarding this activity. Should it be found that birds attracted' <br />to the landfill site do in fact constitute a potential hazard to <br />aircraft, the condition will be reported to AAT-430, National Flight <br />Data Center (NFDC), for possible inclusion in the Airman's Informa- <br />tion bianual. The appropriate FA~ office should i~ediately evaluate <br />the situation to determine compliance with the grant agreement and <br />take such action as may be warranted under the guidelines as <br />prescribed in Order 5190.6, Airports Compliance Requirements. <br /> <br />This order does not apply to landfills used exclusively for the dis- <br />posal of rock and earth. <br /> <br />This order is not intended to resolve all related problems, but is <br />specifically directed toward eliminating sanitary landfills in the <br />proximity of airports, thus providing a safer environment for air- <br />craft operations, <br /> <br />The airport operations manual should require landfill site inspec- <br />tions at least semimonthly for those landfill operations that <br />cannot be closed to assure that bird population is not increasing° <br /> <br /> <br />
