AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br /> <br />R UNWAY/A PPROACH A LTERNATIVES E VALUATION <br />Once the runway/approach alternatives were established, they were analyzed <br />through an evaluation process to determine which alternative provided the best <br />future development concept. To facilitate this analysis, evaluation criteria were <br />established, and an evaluation matrix was developed showing how each <br />runway/approach alternative compared based on the evaluation criteria. The <br />evaluation criteria are discussed below. <br />The following criteria are rated on a high (red), moderate (yellow), or low (green) <br />level of impact scale: <br /> Ability to Satisfy Established Facility Requirements Does the alternative <br />meet the facility requirements established based on the forecast of future <br />aeronautical activity? Ideally, the preferred alternatives should enable the <br />airport to meet all established facility requirements. <br /> Resolves Safety/Non-Compliant Conditions Does the alternative resolve <br />existing safety issues and configuration deficiencies? Ideally, the preferred <br />alternative should resolve any existing safety issues or configuration <br />deficiencies in a realistic and fiscally responsible manner. <br /> Environmental Impacts What impacts will the proposed runway/approach <br />alternative have on the environment and how might these impacts influence <br />the feasibility of future development? Environmental factors that should be <br />evaluated for impacts include farmland, wetlands, floodplains, soil, wildlife, <br />noise, and cultural environmental factors as well as any others applicable to <br />the Airport. Ideally, the preferred alternative should minimize environmental <br />impacts to the greatest extent practical while still meeting the A <br />development needs. <br /> Residential and/or Business Impacts Will the proposed runway/approach <br />alternative have any known impacts on residential or business areas? Will it <br />require their relocation? Ideally, the preferred alternative should minimize <br />the impact to existing residences or businesses to the greatest extent <br />practical while still meeting the A. <br /> <br />Alternatives Chapter Page 13 of 60 <br />October 2020 <br /> <br />
