I realize this co►nrent is late and mcy not be entered into this mctter for review_ , I have previously commented on the landfill that is located approximately 2+ miles on In bearing of 114 degrees from the(bER) departure end of KSCK RWY1lL. Annually I make more than 200 approaches to Stockton Metropolitan Airport and fly directly over and across the Forward Landfill property both lengthwise& diagonally; crisscrossing it from every direction Some of these crossings are as little ns 50' nbove the around (AGL) directly over that property. Since the time the landfill har coma under extreme scrutiny for being a bird ottractont the property management has made o strong effort to eradicate the bird attractant issue. In the more recent past, I find myself satisfied that the property managers have made a visible effort to reduce the aircraft/bird strike condition. I consciously scan for birds each time I pass over that area, Plot only do I 'not' see birds, I wrl-ness TI-re refuse (trash) is entirely coverer by the end of ' every workaay: nothing is exposed but raw orrt. T-ne fact s, there are more biros-of-prey ci'^Cling the titockton Metropolitan Airport 1 looking for rodents than there are scavenrier birds over the landfill 6y-the-woy, up & down California, I notice birds-of-prey at every airport I go to and each week I go to several. In the last 12 months,I've made 500+ landings at Californin It ,:irM�+r�nri�.'h'rrirf�nsyn�d>�idtl'.�YiIz4Mwi:.N�nc_M41dc.i ��
