Factors to be considered : labor intensity , structural coverage , explosive characteristics , and air pollution . 16 . Lumber and timber products removed due to establishment , expansion , or maintenance of Clear Zone lands owned in fee will be disp applicable DOD guidance . 17 . Controlled hunting and fishing may be permitted for the purpose of wildlife management . 18 . Surface mining operations that could create retention ponds that may attract waterfowl and present bird / wildlife aircraft strike haza produce dust or light emissions that could affect pilot vision are not compatible .
19 . Naturally occurring water features ( e . g ., rivers , lakes , streams , wetlands ) are pre‐existing , nonconforming land uses . Naturally occurrin waterfowl present a potential BASH . Actions to expand naturally occurring water features or construction of new water features shou construction of new features is necessary for storm water retention , such features should be designed so that they do not attract wat
20 . Amusement centers , family entertainment centers or amusement parks designed or operated at a scale that could attract or result in including employees and visitors , greater than 50 people per acre at any given time are incompatible in APZ II .
Compatibility Zone B1 consists of APZ I . This is an area of risk situated within 7,500 feet of the runway ends . It is also subject to potential noise levels in excess of CNEL 80 dB ( see Issue NOI‐1 for further discussion on noise ).
Compatibility Zone B2 includes APZ II but is expanded to encompass approach and departure flight tracks that are not aligned with the runway . The general standards provide specific maximum density requirements , outlined in Table 5.14‐3 , limit noise sensitive uses , and prohibit hazards to flight . Hazards to flight include physical , visual , and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations .
