Since the runway expansion is a long term capital hmprovemcat Bch will pmunw*afibct the use of the airport,I believe the FAA must analyze potendal iarpacts based on an we*W planning hlariaoa. While certain other previous EuvirtlwwaW Impact Ststeroetrts(EIS)have tatted 30.40 year VWming harhs the current SDEIS Projects only t Mir 2015,a mare 7 years after the runway expandon is to be completed. It is my tdetatanding that Your Agency's final record of decision will base itself an the"ptefereadal runway use preStaas,"aliowfn$fat;plane departures to the Saar and arrivals to the West. However,this proposal could pvtuntfally include an exception Ter the unconstrained use of the South naway during peak Marrs"when the Mtn*=of aircraft operation require it to avoid delay"(SDF1S,vi)- To frilly assess the impacts of the proposed projm%the FAA should use as extended impact hari2on-one that accoum for future airport development bcymd 2015 and can;wehowiveiy examines unoonwhained use of the South tuaway.
