May includehomes that have already been sound insulated as part of a previous sound insulation effort under the Part 150 NCP.6 Baha’i Faith and John Wickes School have been sound insulated as part of a previous sound insulation effort under the Part 150 NCP.7 Alternatives B2 and B4 both would encroach on WHC 26 (located at the Runway 5 End) resulting in a significant impact to this resource. The boundaries of thisresource have been confirmed through field verification.8 Section 6(f) resources are within Winslow Park.Chapter 5 - Environmental Consequences 5-283 July 2011\\mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH05_Environmental_Cons_JUL_2011.doc
