Federal Aviation Regukation (FAR) Part 77.11 further requires the applicant to file a n~tJce of proposed construction for FAA airspace r~view. Unt;~l such time that the FAA has reviewed and commented .~favorably (~nlikeiy) on the proposed continuation of landfill ac~tivities, any concurring permit action by the City may jeopardize federal co.~t sharing funds on the airport· The city Council £irsl ~'~;~st be cognizant that two separate sets of criteria govern th~ closure and ultimate end use of the existing landfill~ TLe first set is that which deals with current or(~inances an~ ~egulations at the County and State levels.

An Environ~ental ~£mpact Statement (EIS) is presently being pre- pared on the vertical expansion application and a Remedial Investigate:on (Ri) has recently been completed. A feasibility study will be undertaken addressing specific findings of the RI and will identify mitigative measures~ No final decision on the vertical expansion sho~lid be made by the City until these studies have been completed. '~o make a vertical expansion decision prior to completion of the Remedial Investigation Alternative Feasibility Study and/or EIS would seem to violate the very purpose of the process which is to gain environmental facts in order to h~ve relevant information available on the expansion application° II WMMI PROPOSED The proposal by W/~I c~n~:.ains the following specific proposal committments: 1.
