The T.F. Green Airport Improvement Program will:

� Enhance Airport safety

The Projects 11

Safety Projects � Improve Runway 16-34 Runway

Safety Areas (RSAs) � Relocate Taxiway C � Demolish Hangar No. 1

� Enhance the efficiency of the Airport and the New England Regional Airport System to more fully meet the current and anticipated demand for aviation services

Efficiency Projects � Extend Runway 5-23 � Construct new Integrated Cargo Facility � Expand passenger terminal � Construct new ground support

equipment facility � Construct new belly cargo facility � Construct new fuel farm � Expand automobile parking facilities � Reconfigure terminal access roadways

DEIS Timeline The Alternatives Process 9 12

� Comprehensive six-level screening process

No-Action Alternative

� On-Airport � Ongoing periodic maintenance � Airfield Maintenance Facility (completed

2007) � Full-length parallel Taxiway M (completed

2008) � New Deicer Management System (by 2011)

� Off-Airport � Intermodal Station (by the end of 2010) � Voluntary Land Acquisition Program (by

2015) � Removal of the Winslow Park facilities within

the current RPZ

Environmental Impact Assessment 16

� NEPA requires evaluation of: Other Resources Community Resources Natural Resources � Environmental Justice &

� Noise � Wetlands & Waterways Children’s Health & Safety

� Compatible Land Use � Water Quality � Farmlands

� Social/Socioeconomic � Fish, Wildlife, & Plants � Hazardous Materials, Pollution

� Surface Transportation � Federal Threatened & Prevention, & Solid Waste

� Air Quality Endangered Species � Light Emissions &Visual

� Historic, Architectural, � Floodplains � Energy Supply, Natural Archaeological, & Cultural � Coastal Resources

Resources, & Sustainable Resources Design

� Recreational Resources � Construction Section 4 (f)

Alternative B2 � Enhance Runway 16-34 RSAs � Extend Runway 5-23 to 8,700 ft

(to north and south) � Partially Relocate Airport Road

at Tennessee Avenue � Fully Relocate Airport Road � Construct new Cargo Facility

Analysis Update 17

� In late 2009, FAA revised national future forecasts for aircraft activity

� EIS modified future forecast of No-Action aircraft operations to reflect reduced forecast activity levels

� Revised technical analyses � Used the most up-to-date noise and air

quality analysis models (2009)

Alternative B4 Significant Impacts 18

� Enhance Runway 16-34 RSAs � According to NEPA thresholds � Extend Runway 5-23 to � Noise

8,700 ft (to south) � Compatible Land Use

� Partially Relocate Airport � Historic Resources

Road at Hasbrouck Ave. � Section 4(f) Resources (historic/recreation)

Alternative B4

� 7.3 acres wetlands � 918 linear feet of waterways � 7.4 acres of state-regulated

261 homes, 38 businesses

(Plus 3 businesses in RPZ)

Historic Resources/ Recreational Resources

Alternative B2 Alternative B4

� Demolish Hangar No. 1 � Adverse effect on proposed historic district � Physical impact to portions of Winslow Park

� Visual/contextual impact on � Physical impact on Old Terminal, Hangar No. 2, landscaping of Old Terminal and the proposed historic � Physical impact on historic district cemetery

The Preferred Alternative is B4 23

Compared to Alternative B2, Alternative B4 would: Acquire 113 fewer residential units and 117 fewer affordable residential units

By 2020, B2 would acquires 223 homes B4 acquires 106 homes

Acquire 29 fewer businesses for construction B2 acquires 41 / B4 acquires 12 businesses

Result in $282,000 less in annual property tax revenue losses

B2 results in $713, 000 annual tax loss B4 results in $431,000 annual tax loss

Result in similar wetland impacts B4 would not impact Buckeye Brook

Result in 80 percent greater economic benefits due to the expedited construction schedule

By 2020, B2 realizes $63M and B4 $320M in business revenues

Cost $85 million less to construct and mitigate B2 would cost $530M to construct and mitigate B4 would cost $445M to construct and mitigate

Possible Mitigation

� For Noise and Compatible Land Use Impacts: � Voluntary land acquisition for residences within the

DNL 70 dB or above � Sound insulation for residences within the DNL 65 dB

or above with increase of DNL 1.5 dB and Jehovah’s Witnesses of Warwick and Baha’i Faith

� Quiet pavement for new roadways � Install noise barriers/berms
