These business revenue and tax values consider the impact of the incremental future build scenario and do not include the No-Action baseline flights.2 Neighborhood rounding was applied in the VLAP for noise mitigation, which increased the number of units in the program.3 Properties would be eligible for sound insulation. The change from the DEIS to the FEIS is due to the change in the version of the INM noise model from version7.0a to 7.0b and a small change in INM aircraft input types. These changes all increased noise from these aircraft between INM 7.0a and INM 7.0b on arrival.4 Properties would be eligible for acquisition under a voluntary land acquisition program.5 Eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.6 Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.7 The Alternative B4 construction and preliminary mitigation costs went down in the FEIS due to changes in the real estate market, which resulted in reduced land acquisition costs.Chapter 3 – Alternatives Analysis 3-48 July 2011\\mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH03_Alternatives_JUL_2011.doc
