Mountain View's comments on the Draft EA
6 Jul 1996
excerpts
"The City's presentation of comments and findings indicates deficiencies
in the document and, to the degree that these deficiencies are determined
to represent significant effects which cannot be mitigated, an Environmental
Impact Statement should be prepared under NEPA."
"The DEA should analyze other project alternatives, apart from the
CRAF program."
"The baseline of 'historic' operation regarding noise is inappropriate.
The 'high flight' numbers existed only for a few years and should not be
the absolute comparison baseline."
"The DEA should include an assessment of the impact of aircraft flyover
noise on commercial and residential activities."
