The ALUC requests that these two sections the IS be revised to incorporate an explanation of the Less Finding undar "Land U. , ..^1 "(acr,in nrd r:,._- ds ar i '1-zardo"s Magri^Is > bcth.

The facility expansion site is located in the Airport Influence Area and a portion falls within the Traffic Pattern Zone (TPZ). The TPZ is also the boundaries encompassed by FAR Part 77 (Federal Aviation Regulations Part 77), which regulates obstructions to the navigable airspace. Within this area, any proposal must not result in hazards to flight, such as: • Obstructions to the navigable airspace (i.e. Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77 defined) required for flight to, from,and around an airport • Wildlife hazards, particularly bird strikes • Visual hazards associated with distracting lights, glare, and sources of smoke • Electronic hazards that may interfere with aircraft instruments or radio communication The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is directly responsible for the protection of navigable airspace, which, for this project, is the hazard associated with bird strikes. The principle concern of the ALUC is with regard to the land use that is proposed and its potential effect to attract birds and other wildlife hazardous to aircraft operations, thus impacting FAA's navigable airspace. FAA Advisory Circular No: 150/5200-33B Hazardous Wildlife Attractants on or Near Airports gives direction for FAA notification and review practices within the vicinity of public-use airports. Section 2-2 describes the Waste Disposal Operations and similar land-use practices near airports that are and are not appropriate. The uses associated with this proposed expansion are compatible as long as the trash transfer station is enclosed and does not handle or store putrescible waste. Although the existing composting area is not a part of this project,this is also an appropriate use as long as the composting operations only accept yard waste and is at least 1,200 feet away from airport operations(the project site exceeds this distance). For guidance relating to the existing stormwater management facility and also for FAA notification of any future facilities, please refer to FAA Advisory Circular No: 150/5200-33B. LAND USE CONSISTENCY REVIEW The project site is located within the Tracy Municipal Airports (AIA), and pursuant to the State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21676), the project is subject to a Consistency Determination by the San Joaquin County ALUC. This project includes a Permit application to allow the Page 2 of 3
