I'm a 4th year aerospace eingllineeir9ling student and Air Force ROTC cadet.
11H graduate this December and WH start Ipillot t4linlling with the USAF
shortly after that.
l understand the lImpoirtaince of safety of airport operations and control of
wHdlIlIfe hazards to aircraft. That's why it's of utmost lImpoirtaince to Ipreseirve
and protect Uimstead State Park and the inatuirall wH6llfe corridor that exists
on the adjacent Ipaircell of Ilaind specified llin mi6ling Ipeirmit 92 10. That
natu14l area WH continue to Iproviide an lImportaint wHdlIlIfe refuge as the
airport expands operations llin the future. Mallintal161ing this inatuirall area may
prevent wHdlIlIfe from (belling displaced and thus eindaingeining airpoirt
operations.
Ad6tioinalHy, llincreased irninliing activity inext to Uimstead would inegativelly
impact water qualIlIty llin Crabtree Creek and llin Ilalkes at Uimstead, as welH as
air qualIlIty for Ipairk and gireeinway users. Rease deny immiling Ipeirmit 92 10.
