T e MAG and MASAC proposals r�ail to consider the relatively high r elevation of Highland Par�k as compared with the other com- muni ies sur•rounding the airpartj . Highland's greater elevation mean that aircraft travel overlthe area at a much closer distance to h mes and businesses than in the other communities. This results in h'gher detectable decible le e1s and a greater amount of par- ticu ates from the aircraft exh�ust settling on the homes and yards of t e Highland area. 5. T e MAC and MASAC proposals t�ail to consider how the increase in a r pollution resulting from the proposal would affect the Highland area when considered in conjunci�ion with the air �ollution already bein produced by the Ford Plant� in the Highland area. Many of the airc aft over Highland fly at alvery low altitude upon takeoff or land ng over many homes that al�eady experience particulate pollution from the Ford Plant Paint Shop n Highland. The increased air traffic woul increase the already high levels af particulate pollution in the area b. he MAC and MASAC proposals�fail to consider the efiects that the arge increase in air traff c would have on the structures and grou ds oz the Fort Snelling Hi toric Site which lies near or dire tly beneath the flight pat carrying the SU()� increase in air raiiic . i. he MAC and MASAC proposalslzail to consider the environmental impa t on one of Minnesota' s gr�atest natural resources , the Miss ssippi Ftiver , alon,� with i s many species oi plants , wildliTe and ish which can be found in �.he area directly beneath the flight path which would experience suc� an increase in air traffic. An incr ase in air traffic over th Mississippi River at this time would seem to be in direct conxlict w�th the erforts currently underway in Cong ess, initiated by Minnesot 's Congressman �3ruce Vento, to desig- nate the Mississippi 12iver fn t�e 'Twin Cities area as National Park.
