No other environmental consequences for the other impact categories: Environmental Justice/Chil dren’s Health and Safety;Air Quality; Section 4(f); Wetlands and Waterways; Water Quality; Fish, Wildli fe, and Plants; Federal Threatened and Endangered Species; Fl oodplains; CoastalResources; Farmlands; Hazardous Materials and Solid Waste; Light Emissions and Visual Envi ronment; and Natural Resources and Energy Supply.1 Includes residential units and non-residential noise-sensitive sites exposed to noise levels up to DNL 69.9 dB. The pri mary reason for the greater noise impacts23456wi thin DNL 65 dB for Alternative B4 is that the Runway 23 End RPZ would not be cl eared.No disproportionate significant impact to minority, Hispanic, or low-income populations, or to children’s health and safety risk.Businesses and jobs unlikely to relocate within the City of Warwick due to limited vacant/developable industrial l ands.Includes residential property tax revenue that could be lost annually due to voluntary acquisitions. For the purposes of this EIS acquisition for noise mitigati on fornoise impacts in 2020 are assumed to happen between 2020 and 2025 for Alternati ves B2 and B4; however, it is RIAC’s intenti on to acquire residenti al parcels assoon as 2012, subject to availabili ty of funding.Alternative B4 may result in a potential direct significant impact to WHC 76 because it lies within an area of Future Build VLAP for noise mitigation. If abuttinglandowners elect to have their property acquired and the building is demolished, potential i mpacts to WHC 76 will be evaluated by FAA and RIAC in consultationwi th the WHCC prior to any acquisition, per stipulati ons contained in the MOA.Alternative B4 may result in a potential significant direct impact to WHC 77 and 78 due to Realigned Main Avenue; however, the boundaries of WHC 77 and 78are based on the City’s plat maps and have not been field verified. Once permission is granted to strip top soils around the peri meter of visi ble headstones atthese cemeteries and the boundari es of WHC 77 and 78 are fully confirmed, the significant, or direct (physical), impact can be identifi ed. For the purposes of thisEIS, it is assumed that the redesign of Realigned Main Avenue to avoid the cemeteries will be implemented in final desi gn.—Chapter 5 - Environmental Consequences 5-285 July 2011\\mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH05_Environmental_Cons_JUL_2011.doc
