Exhibit 5E also depicts the ultimate condition (2024) noise contours, based on long range forecast op‐
erations outlined in Chapter Two. These contours are modeled with the proposed 700‐foot runway
extension and proposed rotorcraft TLOF area on the west side of the Airport. As shown on the exhibit,
the noise exposure contours also extend beyond airport property adjacent to the northeast and
northwest sides of the Airport. The 65 DNL remains on airport property to the south, mainly due to
the proposed runway extension allowing for southerly‐departing aircraft to rotate and takeoff sooner,
thus, achieving a higher altitude while still over airport property.
NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENERGY SUPPLY
In instances of proposed actions, such as the expansion of utilities, power companies or other suppliers
of energy will need to be contacted to determine if the proposed project demands can be met by exist‐
ing or planned utility/power production facilities.
Increased use of energy and natural resources are anticipated as the operations at the Airport grow.
Temporary increases in resource consumption can be anticipated during construction. None of the
planned development projects are anticipated to result in significant increases in energy consumption.
SECONDARY (INDUCED) IMPACTS
Secondary impacts address potential changes to surrounding communities resulting from the proposed
development, including shifts in patterns of population growth, public service demands, and changes in
business and economic activity to the extent influenced by airport development.
Significant shifts in patterns of population movement or growth or public service demands are not an‐
ticipated as a result of the proposed development. It could be expected, however, that the proposed
development would potentially induce positive socioeconomic impacts for the community over a peri‐
od of years. The Airport, with expanded facilities and services, would be expected to attract additional
users. It is also expected to encourage industry and trade and to enhance the future growth and ex‐
pansion of the community’s economic base. Additionally, the proposed development projects will like‐
ly create construction jobs supporting local employment. Future socioeconomic impacts resulting from
the proposed development are anticipated to be primarily positive in nature.
SECTION 4(f) RESOURCES
Section 4(f) properties include publicly owned land from a public park, recreational area, or wildlife and
waterfowl refuge of national, state, or local significance, or any land from a historic site of national,
state, or local significance.
