Generic Environmental Impact Statement. Air Force Low Altitude Flying Operations. Preliminary Draft. Volume 3
Abstract
The case study airspaces were analyzed in considerable depth to identify the nature and magnitude of the environmental impacts on resources sensitive to the Air Force's low altitude flying operations. Site visits by environmental professionals representing appropriate disciplines, interviews with knowledgeable public officials and representatives of private groups, and appropriate secondary data were used. Findings from generic resource assessments also were incorporated in the case studies, as necessary. As a result, the case studies provide useful information about actual site-specific impacts the result from the Air Force's low altitude flying. The noise environments for the case study MOAs and RAs were described using the Ldnmr metric as flight operations could be modeled similar to military training route type activity. Table A.2 indicates the presence or absence of a resource under each case study airspace.
