<strong>Potsdam</strong> Municipal Airport - Master Plan – Phase 1 Report<br />

2.04-8 Coastal Zone Management Program and Coastal<br />

Barriers<br />

<strong>Potsdam</strong> Municipal Airport is not located within or adjacent to New York State’s<br />

coastal zone. A<strong>ny</strong> proposed action and reasonable alternatives will not adversely<br />

impact the coastal zone natural resources protected by the National Oceanic and<br />

Atmospheric Administration regulations under 15 CFR Part 930.<br />

2.04-9 Wild and Scenic Rivers<br />

There are no listed Wild, Scenic, or Recreational Rivers in the vicinity of the Airport,<br />

or surrounding area. Therefore, no future impacts associated with this category are<br />

anticipated.<br />

2.04-10 Farmland<br />

The Farmland Protection Policy Act (Public Law 97-98) directs federal agencies to<br />

<strong>us</strong>e criteria developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to identify and analyze<br />

impacts related to the conversion of farmland to nonagricultural <strong>us</strong>es. The Airport is<br />

in the vicinity of identified Agricultural Districts. These districts are located in all<br />

directions surrounding the Airport, but none are on airport property. Since the Airport<br />

is not located directly in an Agricultural District, a<strong>ny</strong> proposed action and reasonable<br />

alternatives will not require acquisition of land presently <strong>us</strong>ed for farming. If<br />

development is required within farmlands, the necessary steps will be taken to<br />

identify and analyze a<strong>ny</strong> impacts associated with such development.<br />

2.04-11 Energy Supply and Natural Resources<br />

FAA guidance sets forth protocols for analyzing changes in demand for energy<br />

supplies associated with:<br />

• Major changes in stationary facilities that may make for large demands on<br />

local existing or planned utilities<br />

• The <strong>us</strong>e of scarce or un<strong>us</strong>ual materials to construct proposed facilities<br />

• Significant changes to existing aircraft fuel <strong>us</strong>e<br />

Correspondence from the NYSDEC notes that “natural resources and energy supply<br />

is not a significant issue at the <strong>Potsdam</strong> Airport.”<br />
