The acreage added <br /> in the south area is gained by shifting the existing disposal footprint north and realigning the <br /> existing creek to the southern and eastern boundaries of the site. The maximum elevation of <br /> refuse fill in the additional development areas would be approximately 190 feet above mean sea <br /> level(MSL), lower than the currently permitted existing Forward Landfill maximum height of 210 <br /> feet MSL. Both landfill development areas are greater than 10,000 ft from the end of the <br /> nearest runway(11L/29R)and airport operations area." <br /> In addition, Forward, Inc. submitted plans to the Federal Aviation Administration and received a <br /> "Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation" in response. <br /> Table 3A, Safety Zone Matrix, states the following under"Prohibited Uses" for Zone 7A: <br /> • Hazards to flight' <br /> O ' Hazards to flight include physical (e.g.,tall objects), visual, and electronic <br /> forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations. Land use <br /> development that may cause the attraction of birds or other wildlife hazards to <br /> increase is also prohibited. Such uses (e.g. stormwater management facilities, <br /> other waterways,golf courses) are further detailed in FAA Advisory Circular <br /> 150/5200-33B or subsequent advisory(Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or <br /> Near Airports).
