Massachusetts , a relatively small yet increasingly urbanized state , shares this national concern . Between 1940 and 1978 , the state ' - lost farms and farmland at an alarming rate . In 1940 , 35 ,000 farms covered 2 million acres . By 1978 , only 5,900 farms remained , covering just 679 , 000 acres . Of this acreage , only 311 , 000 acres of actual cropland remained.. The long-term importance of this remaining farmland is apparent when we realize that , under intensive management, it could provide a significant portion of the food and fiber requirements for the Commonwealth ' s 5 . 8 million people at a substantial savings in transportation and energy costs . . The importance of this farmland to the Massachusetts economy is often overlooked; in 1978 , $214 , 675 ,000 worth of agri- cultural products were sold from Massachusetts farms . Recognizing both the importance of a locally based food supply as well as the need for a diverse economic structure , Massachusetts took two important steps during the 1970 ' s to slow the farmland conversion process : 1 . The Farmland Assessment Act of 1973 - (General Laws , Chapter 61A) permits current use assessment for local property taxation of qualifying farmland . While never intended to be more than a stop-gap device , Chapter 61A has saved many farmers from unmanageable property tax burdens . The importance of this Act has increased as more and more towns have moved to 100% market value assessment . 2 . The Agricultural Preservation Restriction Act of 1977 - (Chapter 780) provides for the purchase of development rights (Agricultural Preservation Restrictions or APB' s) in order to protect the agricultural land itself . The Act recognizes that no mixture of incentives to assist farmers will be effective unless Massachusetts builds a permanently protected base of agricultural land . Twenty million dollars will be spent over four years to buy r.es.trictions on approximately. 100 farm properties . The Commonwealth has clearly established both a policy as well as some limited tools to protect its remaining agricultural lands and its agriculturally based businesses . Despite excellent progress , by 1980 , the Department of Food and Agriculture recognized certain gaps in its methods and strategies for protecting farmland . Specifically , when an agriculturally valuable farm came on the market , ' the APR program was of little value since the owner wanted an immediate sale of fee simple . What was required - was an The Massachusetts Farm and Conservation Lands Trust 2 interim buyer with the expertise , the financial credit and the interest to "repackage" the property so as to ensure the protection of the valuable agricultural land . The Department was clearly not in a position to perform this function . To fill this role , the Department has turned to the Massachusetts Farm and Conservation Lands Trust , a private non-profit land conservation organization affiliated with The Trustees of Reservations . HOW THE MASSACHUSETTS FARM AND CONSERVATION LANDS TRUST OPERATES When an important tract of agricultural land comes on the market and is threatened with non-agricultural de- velopment , the Trust can move quickly to buy the property using both a revolving fund as well as bank lines of credit. The Trust then holds the property in its own name , ultimately placing ownership of the agricultural. preservation restric- tion. with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts , the municipality , the local land trust , or 'a combination of these. The farm itself can then be re-sold to a qualified buyer at a price which will permit operation as an economically viable farm. Occasionally , the Trust will purchase a farm property which includes substantial acreage not essential to the operation of the farm. In these cases , the Trust may sell this pdrtion of the property to a non-agricultural buyer , such as the town conservation commission , or to a developer for limited controlled residential use that is compatible with continued agriculture . The Trust uses the proceeds of this sale to reduce the sale price of the APR to the State or the sale price of the farm to a farmer . The Trust has two financial sources upon which it -draws to make farmland purchases : 1 . The Farmlands Revolving Fund is a fund maintained by the Trust and from which the Trust borrows to make option payments, purchase and sale agreement deposits , and to pay fees for appraisal and land capability studies . When a project is completed , the Trust repays these funds to the Revolving Fund . Interest is charged at the current money market rate . 2 . Commercial Bank Lines of Credit are used for actual land purchases . Money is loaned by Massachusetts commercial banks for periods ranging from thirty days to three years . The Trust also assists local conservation commissions and land trusts with farmland protection projects . The Trust can provide real estate negotiation and land planning u The Massachusetts Farm and Conservation Lands Trust 3 . expertise and , in some cases , short term "bridge" financing . Ultimately , the Trust expects other New England States to create similar -private farmland pres- ervation organizations . The Massachusetts Farm and Con- servation Lands Trust will be available as an operational , readily exportable model . In addition to the farmlands preservation program, the Trust maintains a modest Conservation Lands Revolving Fund which provides loans to assist both The Trustees of Reserva- tions as well as other Massachusetts conservation organiza- tions with specific land conservation projects.

The Trust began official operations in July 1980 by incorporating its new farmland preservation effort . into the program of the Land Conservation Trust , an existing 501 (c) (3) charitable organization affiliated with The Trustees of Reservations (TTOR) . Founded in 1891 , The Trustees of Reservations is a conservation organization whose purpose is to preserve for public purposes "beautiful and historic places and tracts of land" within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Affil- iation with TTOR provided MFCLT with essential adminis- trative support and immediate access to a revolving fund with assets of approximately $200 ,000 . As Of December 31 , 1981 , MFCLT has purchased six farmland parcels---in Cummington , Bellingham, Chilmark , North Dartmouth , Holliston , and North Sudbury--total- ing 617 acres and with a total appraised fair market value of $1, 483 ,000 . In each case , MFCLT has sold an Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) to the Commonwealth, and then sold or leased (on a long term" basis), the restricted farmland to an active farmer . In addition , MFCLT has contracted to 'purchase in early 1982 three more North Sudbury parcels totaling 164 .8 acres. All three of these 1982 acquisitions will . involve restriction .of the farmland parcels against development and subsequent resale of the productive farmlands to an active farmer in the area'. Two of . the purchases , discussed more fully as "The Barton Farm" later in this report, will involve preservation of 15 . 1 acres of conservation land by the Town of Sudbury, and sale of 21 . 9 acres ,of land to a local builder-developer.. These nine projects demonstrate how a private, charitable trust can work successfully with a state purchase of development rights program to give the public program greater leverage and flexibility. The Trust ' s goal is to apply . the techniques demonstrated in these projects to the permanent protection of 1 , 000 acres of Massachusetts farmland each year . The Trust intends to continue its close affiliation with The Trustees of Reservations , and to assist TTOR in the acquisition or protection of lands bordering scenic and historic properties . The Massachusetts Farm and Conservation Lands Trust 2 . 1981 Farmland Purchase and Preservation Of the- three MFCLT Farmland projects completed in 1981 , the preservation of the 148 acre Highman property in Holliston provides the best example of the Trust ' s effectiveness . Preservation of farmland owned by the Highman Estate in Holliston made possible transition from hay , sweet corn and squash growing to more intensive market gardening . The 148 acre property includes about 70 acres of tillable cropland which had been rented for the production of hay, corn , and squash . The remainder includes wetland and productive timber- land. Located in the northwestern corner of Holliston near the high school , the property borders extensive permanent open space including the Pinecrest Golf Course and a wildlife sanctuary owned by the Massa- chusetts Audubon Society . According to the Common- wealth ' s independent appraisal report " . . . there is no question that rapid development would take place if the land were available. " In April, the Trust contracted to purchase the property before a possible developer could buy it. On August 31, MFCLT purchased the property for $275 , 000 . from the State Street Bank and Trust Company as Trustee for the Highman Estate. On the same day, MFCLT conveyed4 an Agricultural Preservation Restriction on the entire property to the Commonwealth and the Town of Holliston . The Department of Food and Agriculture contributed $210 ,000 and the Town $10 ,000 toward the purchase of the APR. Having deeded out the APR, MFCLT sold the property for $70 ,000 to Thomas Twomey, formerly of Westwood, who will operate a retail produce farm on the property. The difference between the Trust ' s $275 , 000 purchase price and the $290 ,000 total sale price was used to pay the Trust ' s . legal , engineering and overhead fees . Finding a qualified farm purchaser is an essential step in most MFCLT projects. Referred to MFCLT by the - Soil Conservation Service in Middlesex County , Mr . Twomey prepared a detailed proposal describing his plans for the property and setting forth financial projections. His plans include restoration of the tillable land to full production , construction of a retail produce stand , and construction of his permanent home . A graduate of, the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, Mr . Twomey, 25 , had been employed as a farm manager for DeVincent Farms in Waltham. He commented , "There is a growing awareness of local agriculture ' s contribution The Massachusetts Farm and Conservation Lands Trust 3 . to Massachusetts . I have been trained in modern produce farming methods , and thanks to the Trust, the Department of Food and Agriculture , Farmers Home Administration , and the Town of Holliston , this purchase gives me .a' good chance of success.

Twomey 2 00 Farmland Preservation in Sudbury In April 1981 , the Sudbury . Town Meeting authorized the town ' s Conservation Commission to contribute $500 per acre towards the purchase of APRs on six farmland parcels totaling 194 acres of highly productive farm- land in North Sudbury. This land, was being leased by five separate non-farm landowners to dairy and produce farmers in the Sudbury-Concord area. Each of these parcels had developable frontage on at least one town road. The Conservation Commission , MFCLT, and the Department of Food and Agriculture concluded that residential development of these five parcels was probably inevitable , unless they could be acquired and restricted quickly. As requested by the Town and the Department of Food and Agriculture , MFCLT began nego- tiations with each of the five landowners , using fair market value appraisals prepared by R. M. Bradley & Co. Mr . Albert Caruso, a retired farmer who wished to see his remaining land kept in farming , was the first The Massachusetts Farm and Conservatism Lands Trust 4 . Sudbury landowner to sign a Purchase and Sale Agree- ment with MFCLT, and the transaction closed on Sept- ember 25 , 1981 . With 1700 feet of road frontage , his 24 acres of corn land could have supported 14 residen- tial lots meeting local zoning and sanitary standards. Now covered by a strict APR preventing any non-agricul- tural development of the parcel. , the land was sold to Stephen Verrill , a dairy farmer located near the Concord-Sudbury line . In exchange for the Town ' s con- tribution to ,the APR, Mr . Verrill granted a Perpetual Trail Easement to the Town of Sudbury , as negotiated and prepared by MFCLT. Relationship to the Massachusetts APR Program Since passage of the Agricultural Preservation Restriction Act of 1977 (Chapter 780) , the Commonwealth has become the leading state in purchase- of "develop- ment rights" for the prime agricultural land. By the end of 1981 , the Commonwealth had purchased or contracted for 42 APR' s , covering 3824 acres at a cost of $4 ,442,000 or $1,685 per acre. Including applicants under appraisal , nearly $15 million has been committed by the Agricultural Lands Preservation Committee ; ,'and the Massachusetts ' Legislature has authorized further bonding for an . additional $.5 million to carry the program through 1982 . MFCLT was founded primarily to assist the Common- wealth ' s farmland preservation efforts. 'Despite ex- cellent progress, the Department of Food and Agriculture ` recognized that the APR program has certain inherent gaps that can-' result in the loss of valuable farmland to development. Specifically,` when valuable .agricultural land actually comes on the market, the APR program ' alone is of little value since the owner usually- wants an immediate sale in fee simple . To close this gap, an interim buyer is often required , one with the exper- tise , the financial credit, the interest, and the time - to "repackage" the property so as to ensure the protection of . the valuable agricultural land. MFCLT has demonstrated its ability to serve as the negotiator , interim purchaser , planner , packager , and coordinator for such projects . It should be noted that the projects conducted by the Trust are subject to the same criteria and procedures as .any other APR -projects authorized by the ,Agricultural Lands Preservation Committee. While MFCLT may expend considerable effort researching a project and prepay- ing a strategy for acquisition and protection , it cannot enter into a binding purchase agreement until the project has been specifically approved by the Commonwealth. The Massachusetts Farm and Conservation Lands Trust 5 . In many cases , MFCLT acts upon the specific request of the Department of Food and Agriculture ; but MFCLT may bring independent projects to the Department for consideration . The Trust has identified four typical situations where its involvement in a farmland preservation project may be essential . These situations generally include one or more of the following characteristics: *the owner must sell in fee simple, or simply has no interest in applying to the Agricultural Preservation Restriction Program; *the negotiation process promises to be difficult or lengthy; *there is an opportunity for "limited develop- ment" of nonfarm portions of the property in order to defray purchase costs or to reduce the public cost of acquiring an APR; *there is not an obvious buyer for the restricted farmland--one who will make the most productive use of the land; and there is a need to review prospective purchasers carefully to select the most qualified. Limited Development as a Farmland Preservation Technique : The Barton Farm Known locally as the Barton Farm, two of the Sudbury ' parcels identified for acquisition by MFCLT. in 1982 include portions suitable for residential • development but unsuitable for modern agriculture . These portions are heavily wooded , stony , or steep. Although open during the heyday of New England farming , they would have been used primarily as rough pasture . In a growing , attractive community with good access to Boston and suburban employment , land values can be very high; this means that funds expended for an Agri- cultural Preservation Restriction should be confined to the most agriculturally productive portions of the high value land . At the request of the Sudbury Conservation Commission and the Department of Food and Agriculture , MFCLT agreed to explore the feasibility of a combined limited de- velopment farmland preservation and open space con- nervation plan for the two Barton parcels . Although the Barton family ceased active farming of these- parcels in the 1960 ' s , the land has remained intact, and the better soils have been leased to dairy and produce The Massachusetts Farm and Conservation Lands Trust 6 . farmers and a local wholesale nursery . With a fine nineteenth century barn complex , weathered and in disrepair but salvageable if an economic use for the barns could be found , the Barton Farm remained a familiar and well-regarded remnant of the community ' s traditions . In April 1981 , the Town Meeting voted $110 ,000 to aid in the preservation effort , in exchange for 'the conveyance to the Town of a small natural pond (the headwaters of Pantry Brook , a tributary of the Sudbury River) , and other lands of open space interest including wetlands bordering Sawmill and Pantry Brook . Working with Matlock Associates , land planners of Lincoln , Massachusetts , MFCLT was able to identify three areas for limited residential development that would not conflict with agricultural or conservation purposes . These 19 . 2 acres would be limited to 12- lots . In addi- tion , a 2 . 7 acre lot was created to include the barn complex . This lot was sold at a "discount" in exchange for a recorded Preservation Restriction requiring the buyer to restore the barns to standards prescribed in the agreement . As an incentive , conversion of one of the barns to an apartmentor guest house (subject to zoning approval) is allowed. The total number of residential lots possible under MFCLT ' s limited develop= ment plan is one-half the number possible under maximum development possible for those particular parcels , complying with all zoning and sanitary standards . Encouraged by favorable local reaction to this plan , MFCLT proceeded to meet with prospective developers , and to intensify negotiations with the court-appointed Commissioner in charge of partitioning the Barton Estate by the end of the year . MFCLT trustees and staff were aware of the recession ' s serious affect upon residential. developers in Massachusetts . After interviewing several prospective buyers , the Trust was pleased to reach an agreement for sale of the 12 development lots and the barn lot to Creighton -Hamill , a Sudbury builder well-known for his custom-designed colonial reproduction homes , and his innovative approach to house siting and lot design . Mr . Hamill proved to be very sympathetic to the goals of the MFCLT plan , and to be interested in restoring the barns to a high standard , in part to accommodate storage and workshop facilities needed by his construction and woodworking business . Given the limited amount of development pro- posed , he agreed that residential and agricultural uses could co-exist without serious conflict . In October , 1981 , MFCLT signed a purchase agreement with the Barton Estate for $537 , 500 , a price very close F ,} J Open Space Limited Development, r Sudbury Conservation Lend .'t and Farmland Preservation Plan .. . 1 .03 ac. a ` Properties Acquired from the Barton Estate, Sudbury, Massachusetts YR SERYATIO.V •' , '!' t I)}r V, ��sr�sicr�apv . b y 65 The Massachusetts Farm and Conserv.atlon' Lends .rry.a� �•t:, •+r � .f 1 I��h lri. ,'r�.r y s •, -r., t "i - r sr h •r5 yr; Residential Lot with- 572 Essex Street, Beverly, Massachusetts ;4.1915� 1 'r,r+ �;�ul l71 Barn Complex to be < Prepared by Matlock Associated, 'Lincoin MA,t. s.

A the same time , MFCLT signed sale agree- ments with Mr . Hamill , the Town of Sudbury, and the Department of Food and Agriculture. Having discussed the project with several local farmers , including those presently using the land , MFCLT staff• were con- fident that restricted agricultural land could be readily sold for its farm value at the end of the project. A simultaneous closing .was scheduled for February 1982 . After the closing , MFCLT will follow through with enforcement of the Preservation Restriction until it can be transferred to the Sudbury Valley Trustees , and will complete sale of the restricted farmland to two farmers with plans to make the most . productive agricultural use of these parcels. An interim accounting for this project is given below.

The Massachusetts Farm and Conservation Lands Trust 8 . Successful completion of the Barton projects demonstrates the feasibility of limited development as a technique for farmland preservation , given the right conditions and strong local support. Working through the process step by step has given the Trust valuable experience in a technique that is coming into increasing favor as public resources for land acquisition dwindle in the face of competing demands on public funds . Providing Information and Technical Assistance During 1981 , MFCLT staff consulted with numerous farmland preservation organizations and open space con- servation groups . They included : in Connecticut , The Sunny Valley Farm Foundation ; in Vermont, Ottauquechee Regional Land Trust and Shelburne Farms; and in Mass- achusetts , Vineyard Open Land Foundation , Edgartown ; ' Valley Community Land Trust , Northampton; Committee to Save the Watertown Dairy , Wayland; Slocum River Trust , Dartmouth ; Sudbury Valley Trustees , Sudbury; Massachusetts Audubon Society; The Nature Conservancy , and the Essex County Greenbelt Association , Ipswich . In addition , MFCLT gave numerous public presenta- tions on techniques of farmland preservation a nd ' the operation of the Agricultural Preservation Restriction Program. In November Executive Director Davis Chering- ton presented a seminar on limited development techniques at the San Francisco conference , "Private Options for ' Land Preservation" , co-sponsored by the Trust for Public. Land and the Montana Land Reliance . - Relationship with The American Farmland Trust MFCLT. continues its cooperative relationship with the American Farmland Trust (AFT) of Washington , D. C. AFT has established its role as a national center for information on farmland preservation techniques and trends in agricultural land conversion . AFT and MFCLT have on numerous occasions cooperated in consulting with New England organizations concerned with farmland pres- ervation . Line of Credit with Citibank New York As a result of its informal affiliation with the American Farmland Trust , MFCLT has available through . I The Massachusetts Farm and Conservation Lands Trust 9 . AFT a substantial line of credit with Citibank . This line of credit provides MFCLT with greater financial flexibility , not only in negotiating purchases but also in coordinating closing dates with sellers and buyers. Providing Landscape Conservation Assistance to The Trustees of Reservations In 1981 , MFCLT ' s Executive Director accepted a half-time appointment as Deputy Director of Land Con- nervation for The Trustees of Reservations . This appointment has strengthened MFCLT ' s close working relationship with TTOR. During the past year MFCLT assisted TTOR with several land acquisitions bordering TTOR properties or of particular concern to that organization . Assistant Director A1220inted by MFCLT In April 1981, MFCLT Trustees appointed Wesley T. Ward to serve as Assistant Director . Mr . Ward has an academic and employment background in landscape planning and regional and open space planning , primarily in Vermont. He comes to MFCLT with a strong interest in farmland preservation , particularly the technique of limited development . Financial Support None of the Trust ' s activities would have been possible without the enthusiastic and generous support of the following foundations , which contributed a total of $59 , 500 to general operations in 1981 .

Summary-and Outlook The Trust ' s most notable accomplishment in 1981 was to demonstrate that "limited development" , in appropriate circumstances, can make a significant contribution to the preservation of prime farmland soils that are essential to 'viable agricultural operations. MFCLT ' s farmland acquisition program has thus far. depended on close. cooperation with the Commonwealth ' s Agricultural Preservation Restriction purchase program. . Nine successful projects in MFCLT' s first two years- of operation have demonstrated the value and soundness of , its farmland preservation strategies to both the Depart- ment of Food and Agriculture , and to the financial and legal institutions working with the Trust. In 1982, the primary challenge facing the Trust is to find additional means for "leveraging" the impact of limited public funds in order to increase the effectiveness of both public-sector and private- sector farmland preservation techniques. Usincj legal and financial guidelines researched by the American Farmland Trust and MFCLT counsel , the- Trust intends to invite and encourage voluntary contributions of 'farm land preservation easements by landowners as an integral part of their financial and estate planning process. Essential to the success of these efforts are the Trust ' s contacts and relationships with the Mass- achusetts farming and conservation communities. The Trust ' s successful first two years provide a strong foundation to strengthen private-sector and local community support for farmland preservation throughout the urban , suburban and rural landscape of• the Common- wealth.

SUGARY PAGE This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was prepared in the Air Directorate of the National Guard Bureau. It presents to decision makers the probable environmental consequences of the proposed aircraft conversion. 1. Type of Action: Administrative. 2. Descri Lion of the Action: There is a proposal to replace the F-100 D/F aircraft now assigned to the 104th Tactical Fighter Group (TFG) at Barnes Municipal Airport (BMAP), Westfield, Massachusetts with A-10 aircraft. The purpose of the proposed action is to modernize the equip- ment of the unit, thereby increasing unit effectiveness and efficiency. 3. Summa of Environmental I act: All regulated aircraft exhaust emis- sions would decrease. Ambient air quality levels downwind of the airport would improve. The noise environment would be improved. The area within the 65 Ldn noise contour would decrease by 4,158 acres if the F-100 were replaced by the A-10 aircraft. Economic and employment considerations would improve slightly. The few additional facilities required to support the A-10 mission would irretrievably commit minimal resources. Other considerations should remain the same. 4.

The purpose of this EIA is to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of a proposed change of aircraft assigned to the 104th Tactical Fighter Group (104 TFG) at Barnes Municipal Airport (BMAP)-, Westfield, Massachusetts (MA) . For this EIA, the Air Directorate of the National Guard Bureau (NGB) is the responsible agency as defined in IPA. This EIA is the process by which the environmental effects of the proposed action are identified for inclusion and analyses throughout the decision-making process. This EIA also serves to indicate those environmental values that require more detailed evaluation, or to justify a conclusion that no additional environmental reviews are necessary. 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACHON 2.1 Introduction The proposal is to replace the F-100D and F-100F aircraft assigned to the 104 TFG, Massachusetts Air National Guard (MAANG) , Barnes Municipal Airport, MA, with A-10 aircraft. The 104 TFG is presently authorized 18 operating aircraft. The purpose of the proposed action is to modernize equipment and upgrade. the mission capability that the MAANG performs in support of the Air Force and the United States defense posture. Implementa- tion would require modification or rehabilitation of some existing facilities and new construction. Personnel authorizations for the unit would increase. The equipment conversion would take place during the fourth quarter of fiscal year (FY) 1979. 2.2 Characteristics of the Aircraft Involved 2.2.1 The F-100D/F Super Sabre was manufactured by North American in the mid-1950's.. The "D" model is a single seat fighter, while the "F" model has tandem seating. Both models have single point air refueling capability. The F-100 D/F is powered by a single Pratt and Whitney J-57 engine providing 13,300 ibs of thrust in afterburner. The principal missions of the F-100D are the destruction of hostile aircraft in flight and hostile ground installations. In addition to the above, the F-100F may also be used as a proficiency and transitional trainer. The F-100 aircraft is rapidly approaching abso- lescense in many respects. Periodic depot maintenance (PDM) is no longer under contract for the aircraft. The limited electronics systems aboard the F-100 provide survivability in only the most permissive of combat environments. Attach- ment 2 summarizes characteristics of the aircraft. 2.2.2 The A-10 was designed by and is presently being manufactured by Fairchild Republic. The A-10A is a single place, highly maneuverable vehicle powered by two General Electric TF 34-GE-100 turbofan engines providing 9,065 pounds of 1 thrust per engine. The aircraft is capable of operating from semi-prepared forward airstrips. The principal mission of the A-10A is the close support of ground fighting units in the attainment of U.S. military objectives over a wide range of possible conflict situations. It is also designed to function in the escort and armed reconnaissance roles. Specific characteristics are in Attachment 2. 2.3 Mission of the Unit The 104 TFG is a standard ANG tactical fighter unit available for permissive tasking during peacetime and gained in the active USAF strike force when mobilized. The unit performs the close air support and interdiction air roles. It also provides tactical support for surface forces in contingen- cies, general war, or situations requiring a show of force. 2.4 Phasing of the Proposed Action Should the proposal be adopted, conversion to the A-10 would begin in the fourth quarter -of FY 1979 with the full complement expected by September of 1979. Two aircraft for ground training of maintenance personnel would arrive at Barnes MAP about 1 April 1979. It is not expected that the sum of the two types of aircraft (F-100/A-10) would exceed eighteen during the transition period. Although the schedules are tentative at best, the assessment and its conclusions are not dependent upon specific dates. 2.5 Anticipated A-10 Operations Operations desired of the 104 TFG should it convert to A-10's have not been firmly established. However, it is estimated that the A-10's will perform approximately 9.8 sorties per day, 49.0 per week or 2,548 per year. Under normal conditions, all operations are performed between 0730 and 2200 hours. Night events will be limited to those required to meeting training standards and would normally be completed by 2200 hours. A-10's will also perform approximately 7.5 low approaches per week and no touch and go cycles. 2.6 Personnel Simunary There are two categories of personnel upon which the proposed action would impact: (1) Guardsmen and (2) Air Technicians. Guardsmen are members of the military organization who participate in monthly unit training assem- blies and annual training periods. Air Technicians are also Guardsmen, with some exceptions such as clerks and secretaries, who are full-time career civilian employees of the unit providing day-to-day continuity of the unit's operation. Military strength authorizations include air technicians as a result of their dual status. The proposed action would result in personnel authorization increases of approximately 14 air technicians and 45 military positions. 2 technicians and 24 military positions: TABLE 1 MILITARY TECHNICIAN Officer Enlisted F-100 86 634 186 A-10 88 677 200 +4S +14 2.7 Construction Program Initial construction to support conversion to the A-10 weapons system at Barnes NIAP would be limited to the following items: Avionics/Weapons Release Systems Shop Fuel Systems Maintenance Dock Squadron Operations Facility Construction cost for the above Military Construction Program (MCP) items is estimated at $2.09 million, much of which will flow into the local economy. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.l-- Current Operations at Barnes Municipal Airport Aircraft operations at Barnes MAP as reported by the FAA tower is as follows: CY 76 176,000 (approximation) CY 77 172,000 (approximation) CY 78 182,480 (approximation) CY 79 2101000 - 220,000 (estimation) Of this total, approximately 11,648 operations are of the business jet type. This category includes, but is not limited to, Citation, Lear, and DeHavilland 125 aircraft. The F-100's of the 104 TFG perform-approximately 49 sorties per five day week. This represents approximately 2,458 sorties or 5,096 operations (either departure or arrival) per year. F-100's also perform approximately 10.5 touch and go or low approach operations per week or 546 per year at home station. The F-100's represent approximately 2.7% of the total operations at Barnes Municipal Airport. With conversion to the A-10, operations statistics are not expected to change considerably. 3.2 Accident Record/Flight Hazards 3 .2.1 During the last -ten ,years'; -there have been three major accidents 3 associated with aircraft operations based at Barnes; all were military. 26 March 1969 - F-84 experienced fuel problems on takeoff and impacted approximately five miles from the end of the runway. Aircraft destroyed. 4 October 1974 - F-100 on landing ran off the end of the runway and came to a stop on the Massachusetts Turnpike. Aircraft destroyed. 27 December 1977 - F-100 returning from basic flight maneuvers mission over New Hampshire - impacted 1.5 miles north-northwest of New Salem MA, after engine flameout. Aircraft destroyed. 3.2.2 Flight Hazards: There are no flight hazards that will impact the conversion to A-10's. No additional navigational aids will be required to support the A-10 mission. The locations of navigational aids are listed in Attachment 3. 3.2.3 Weather Hazards: The various weather conditions that affect Barnes MAP are: snow and ice, thunderstorms and fog. Detailed climatological data is presented in Attachment 4. 3.3 Physical Setting 3.3.1 Geographic Location: Barnes Municipal Airport is located within the City of Westfield, Hampden County, MA. Approximate geographic coordinates are 42009135" North Latitude and 72042145" West Longitude. Field elevation is 270 feet. Total acreage at Barnes MAP is 586 acres, of which the ANG portion is 133.23 acres. Barnes MAP has two runways 2-20 (9,000 feet) and 15-33 (5,000 feet) . 3.3.2 Land Area: To the northeast, north, and west of Barnes MAP lie rural agricultural areas interspersed with low density residential development. The Massachusetts Turnpike lies at the southern boundary of Barnes MAP. Across the turnpike from Barnes MAP (to the southwest and south) is the City of Westfield with pockets of single family residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Approximately four miles southeast of Barnes MAP is the City of West Springfield. East -Mountain with---elevations up to 776 feet'lies 'from the- southeast to the northeast of Barnes MAP forming a natural barrier to separate Barnes MAP from West Springfield and Holyoke to the east. 4 3.4 Environmental Setting 3.4.1 The Barnes MAP water supply is from the City of Westfield. Sewage is disposed of through the use of on-base septic tanks. Storm water runoff is collected in two containment lagoons. 3.4.2 Air Quality: 3.4.2.1 Activities at Barnes MAP are subject to the following federal laws concerning prevention and control of air pollutants: -- Clean Air Act of 1963 (P.L. 88-206) Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control Act (P.L. 89-272, 1965) Clean Air Act Amendments of 1966 (P.L. 89-675) -- Air Quality Act of 1967 (P.L. 90-143) -- Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970 (P.L. 91--604) -- Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 (P.L. 95-95) 3.4.2.2 Barnes MAP is located in Hampden County which is in the Hartford - New Haven-Springfield Air Quality Control Region (Pioneer Valley) . Certain portions of this region have been designated nonattainment areas by the U.S. EPA. (*) Springfield Massachusetts has been designated a nonattainment area for particulate matter, CO, oxidants. Oxidants are of concern throughout the state, CO is only a problem in Springfield . All other cities and towns in the -Pioneer Valley meet the CO ambient standard. The pollutants of concern in and around Barnes MAP and Westfield Massachusetts are particulate matter and carbon monoxide. The City of Springfield measured two violations of the primary 24 hour particulate standard in 1975 and one violation of the one hour oxidant standard in the same year. l/ No violations were recorded in the City of Westfield. Thirty one violations of the CO eight hour standard were recorded in the City of Springfield. The EPA stated that all other cities and towns in the AQCR were in an attainment status for carbon monoxide. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set primary and secondary ambient air quality standards to protect the public health and welfare (Atch 5) . The states must pre- pare implementation plans to meet the standards. The 5 f following calculations for the F-100 emissions are based on 2,548 sorties or landing/takeoff (LTO) cycles plus 546 touch-and-go cycles per year. Data to compute emissions was taken from the USAF Air Quality Assess- ments Model. *A nonattainment area is a portion of an AQCR that has been designated by the U.S. EPA to be ,above the National Ambient Air Quality standards for one or more pollutants.

TABLE 2 F-100 Emission Data in Metric Tons Per Year CO HC NO TSP SOX 103.524 54.017 14.164 27.938 2.875 3.4.3 Noise: 3.4.3.1 Noise: The Director of Operations, 104 TFG is responsible for answering noise complaints. For the period 1971 through 1977, the 104 TFG received noise complaints as follows: TABLE 3 104 TFG COMPLAINT HISTORY 1971 - 5 1975 - 20 1972 8 1976 - 6 1973 - 11 1977 - 1 1974 - 7 1978 - 0 It should be noted that the above figures represent only the number of complaints received by the 104 TFG. ' On 9 August 1977, a citizens group entitled Stop Noise and Air Pollution (SNAP) brought suit against the airport operator, various state, federal and local agencies. Plaintiffs claim to be seriously affected by- noise and pollutants generated by 104 TFG operations. No date for the trial has been set. The other major operational activity of interest from a noise viewpoint is engine runups utilized for maintenance, power check, and trim purposes. The 104 TFG performs these functions between 0730 and 2200 hours in areas farthest removed from the airport population and the surrounding population centers. 6 3.4.3.2 Noise from jet aircraft operations has been of concern for many years. Acoustic energy generated by jet air- craft can irritate people living in the environs of the airport. The Day-Night Average Outdoor Sound Level (Ldn) Methodology was used to assess the environmental impact of operations at Barnes MAP. This methodology of estimating aircraft noise impact has been proposed by the U.S. EPA and is utilized by numerous federal agencies including HUD, FAA/DOT, and the DOD. The descriptor system considers the effect of a single event (source noise, altitudes, and air speed) , how many times the event occurs during a 24 hour period, and the time of day when the event occurs. Combined F-100, and business jet operations were plotted and will be referred to as basic or existing baseline noise contours. (Atch 6) It can be seen that both runways contribute to the noise impact. The land directly to the north and to the east of the airport can be considered a mixture of agricul- tural and residential lands. Lands to the northwest of the airport can be considered agricultural. The area directly to the west of the airport is predominantly industrial with some residential land close to the airport. The area directly to the south of the base is a mixture of residential and industrial (the town of Westfield Massachusetts) . Since the local community has not adopted a zoning plan or has no land use plan, it was considered unnecessary to calculate the various land usage acreages underlying the different Ldn contours. 3.4.3.3 The Air National Guard, in order to provide noise pro- tection for the surrounding community has developed noise abatement procedures. These procedures are used by all 104 TFG and transient military aircrews in departing Barnes MAP.

They are as follows: (1) The Farmington Canal with several feeder canals, a lockhouse and locks. (2) An Indian site on the banks of the Westfield River. 4.0 PROBABLE IMPACT OF PROPOSED ACTION 4.1 Introduction .Preceding sections of this study have set forth a description of the proposed action and background information about the unit, the base, and the surrounding communities. The following sections will analyze the proposal in terms of its possible effects upon the natural and human environment as it exists today. 4.2 Noise 4.2.1 The Day-Night Average Outdoor Sound Level (Ldn) was utilized to determine the impact of 9.8 , A-10: flights, per 'day and- 1.5 low approaches per day at Barnes MAP. Attachment 8 is a NOISEMAP showing the effect of replacing the F-100 aircraft currently operating at Barnes MAP with A-10 aircraft. The NOISEMAP includes all business jet operations at Barnes MAP. A major reduction in the noise contours compared to the base line 8 operation is noted for A-10 operations. Changes in the areas underlying the contours are shown below in Table 4. TABLE 4 Areas Underlying Ldn Contours -in Acres Current Proposed F-100 + A-10 + Current General Change in Area of Ldn Ldn ' General General Aviation Only Contours Due to Proposed Value Aviation Aviation (Military Deleted F-100 to A-10 Conversion 65 7912 3754 3649 - 4158 70 3421 1869 1830 - 1552 75 1705 1032 1018 - 673 80 966 485 474 - 481 85 461 190 187 - 271 To further demonstrate the improvement that the A-10 makes in the noise environment, Attachment 9 is a NOISEMAP of F-100 and A-10 operations excluding non-military traffic at Barnes N1AP. The major reductions in the noise contours are because the A-10 is a new technology, low noise, fan jet aircraft. Commercial business jet operations alone are shown in Attachment 10. When A-10 operations are added to this plot, little change in the NOISa7AP is noted with the greatest impact being a small increase in the 65 Ldn contour to the north and south ends of runway 02/20. The 65-70 Ldn is compatible with numerous types of land uses. 4.3 Air Quality - 4.3.1 As previously stated in paragraph 3.4.2.2 , Barnes MAP lies in the Hartford - New Haven Springfield Air Quality Control Region. Pollutants of concern are particulate matter, and photochemical oxidants. A decrease in pollutant emissions is desirable. 4.3.2 The following table compares the pollutant emissions for the F-100 and the A-10. Calculations are based on 2,548 LTO cycles for the F-100 and the A-10. The figures also include 546 low approaches for both the F-100 and A-10. 9 TABLE 5 Aircraft Emissions in Metric Tons/Year CO HC NOx PT SO x F-100 103.524 54.017 14.164 27.938 2.875 A-10 44.180 12.561 3*790 3.190 0.955 (Change) -59.334 -41.456 -8.374 -24.748 -1.920 Percent decrease 57 77 59 89 67 if A-10 replaces F-100 As can be seen from the above table, should the proposal be adopted, A-10 operations would result in a reduction of all pollutants emitted resulting in an improvement in air quality. - 4.3.3 Ambient Air Quality Impact In order to further quantify the improvement in air quality to be expected by the proposed mission change at Barnes NLNP, the Air Force Air Quality Assessment Model (AQAM) was utilized. The AQAM is a Gaussian Plume Dispersion Model designed especially for Air Force aircraft operation. It predicts hourly and annual downwind pollutant concentrations for five pollutants based on meterological conditions, aircraft landing and take off profiles and aircraft engine emission rates. The- use of the AQAM is explained in various technical articles. 2/ Studies conducted at ten Air Force air bases by the Air Force Environmental Engineering Development Office using the AQAM revealed no signifi- cant regional air quality impact. Since pollutants of concern in the Barnes MAP environs are particulates and photochemical oxidants , this analysis will focus on particulates , and hydrocarbons pre- cursors of photochemical oxidants. Attachment 11 is a plot of worst case meterologi.cal downwind center line aircraft pollutant concentrations for particulate matter resulting from four F-100 and two A-10 aircraft landing and take off cycles per hour assuming worst case meterology (low wind speed and low mixing height). The predicted concentrations were calculated using the AQAM short term program. 3/ The A-10 aircraft air quality impact is 95% less than the air quality impact of F-100 operations. The computer predicts less than .002 ugms/m3 of particulate matter generated by two A-10 aircraft LTOs at 10 kilometers from the start of take off roll. The same analysis was also conducted on hydrocarbon levels . Attachment 12 compares downwind concen- trations of hydrocarbons from F-100 and A-10 operations. This comparison shows that the A-10 impact to be only 8% of the F-100 hydrocarbon concentrations at 10 kilometers from the start of take off roll. These results indicate an improvement in ambient 10 air quality would result if F-100's were replaced by A-101s. Application of air quality models may have deficiencies which cause an error in the estimated concentration. The EPA has reported that a basic Gaussian point source model predicts short term concentrations that were generally accurate to within a factor of two. 4/ Extensive studies have been conducted by the Air Force to validate the AQAM. Tests revealed that comparisons between total predicted and observed pollutant concentrations indicated that the AQAM generated results in the correct concentration range and that approximately fifty percent of the model predictions were within a factor of two of the corresponding observed values. 5/ Hence the concentrations predicted at Barnes MAP can be expected to be within a factor of two of any observed concentrations fifty percent of the time. 4.4 Land Use The proposed introduction of A-10 aircraft at Barnes MAP is consistent with traditional operations of the Air National Guard unit there. As a result, no evidence exists to support any assumption that the proposed conversion would change the manner in which the presence of the base has influenced land use in its environs. 4.5 Construction Construction and alteration of existing facilities to support the proposed . conversion to A-10 aircraft would be confined to areas within the airport boundaries. Other than minor disruptions during building, there would be no significant environmental impact associated with further construction and alteration. Utilities are adequate to support new construction. 4.6 Economy A slightly favorable economic impact would result from the proposed conversion due to the increased manning of 14 air technicians and 45 military positions. Also, modernization of the 104 TFG with A-10's should prolong the unit's mission by decades and permit long range fiscal planning. 4.7 Social The limited number of personnel affected by the proposal, and the absence of impact on land use or other activities near the base, indicate that the conversion to A-101s would have no discernible social impact. 4.8 Ecological-Biological No measurable ecological-biological impact is expected to result from the proposed conversion. 11 5.0 ALTERNATIVES TO-THE PROPOSED'ACTION 5.1 Introduction The 104 TFG must re-equip because of a Congressional mandate to delete the F-100 from the Air Force inventory. National defense and the force structure needs have resulted in the proposal to re-equip the 104 TFG with the A-10. The Environmental Assessment of the proposal to re-equip with A-10 aircraft at Barnes MAP has not revealed any significant noise impacts when compared to Barnes MAP if assumed to be without military operations. In comparison to the F-100 operations at Barnes MAP, a major improvement in the noise environment would be realized with the A-10. Air pollutant contributions or other environmental factors are not con- sidered appreciable. 5.2 Do Nothing Alternative For practical purposes, this is not an available alternative. The F-100 is rapidly approaching the end of its- useful life span and is being overtaken by advances in the "state of the art" tactics flight technology. In addition, the Air Force has a Congressional mandate to remove the F-100 from its inventory. As a result, some change at Barnes MAP regard- ing the F-100 is necessary 5.3 Alternative Location - Westover AFB Westover AFB is located within the city limits of Chicopee, Massachusetts, approximately 10 road miles from Barnes MAP. Operating since 1940, Westover AFB was a large SAC base which supported B-52's and KC-135's until the spring of 1974. At that time, Westover was changed from an active SAC base to an Air Force Reserve (AFRES) base supporting C-130 and C-123 aircraft. As a result of conversion to an AFRES base, large portions of real property have been declared excess -and services, facilities, and housing have been greatly underutilized. As in any large city, the land usage surrounding Westover AFB is a combination of residential, commercial, and industrial. However, the community is military oriented because of the many years Westover served as an active Air Force base. Many retired military live in the area and utilize base services and facilities. 5.3.1 Air Quality. The air quality impact of the Westover alternative is discussed in the following two sections. 5.3.1.1 Air Emissions. Westover AFB is in the same AQCR as Barnes MAP. It is located in the Hartford - New Haven - Springfield (Pioneer Valley) AQCR. The town of Chicopee has been designated by the U.S. EPA to be in an attainment status for S02. The U.S. EPA has designated the 12 whole state of Massachusetts to be in a nonattainment status for oxidants. They have also been unable to determine the attainment status of the AQCR/City of Chicopee for carbon monoxide. The town of Chicopee monitors NOx, S02, TSP and oxidants.* No S02 ambient standard violations were recorded in the state during 1976-77. Violations of the primary and secondary TSP standards were recorded in the Pioneer Valley AQCR in 1976 and 1977. However, no violations of TSP standards were .recorded in the town of Chicopee. Results of NO2 measurements revealed.that all regions of the state were attaining the NAAQS for NO2: All sites in the state showed violations of the photochemical oxidants. . Chicopee recorded a. violation of the oxidant standard in 1976. Hydrocarbons are precursors of photochemical oxidants and should be used as a guide in assessing oxidant problems. The following table shows the increase in air emissions resulting from placing the A-10 aircraft at Westover AFB. There would also be a small change in local base air emissions due to an increased number of motor vehicles entering the base, additional facili- ties, and ground support equipment. This is considered insignificant. The base heating .plant would be required to carry more of a load for space heating but the emissions should not change appreciably. The greatest amount of additional pollutants would be generated from increased aircraft operations. TABLE 6. A-10 Aircraft Emissions Metric Tons/Year CO HC NOx TSP SOX A-10 44.18 12.56 5.79 3.19 0.955 As can be seen from the table, should the proposal be adopted A-10 operations would result in an increase in all pollutants emitted. This would result in a degradation of air quality. 5.3.1.2 Ambient Air Quality Impact. In order to further quantify the ambient air quality impact, the Air Quality Assessment Model explained in paragraph 4.3.3 was utilized. Increased 1-hour concentra- tions expected 15 kilometers from the start of take off- roll for two flights of A-10's are shown below: TABLE 7 Increase in Ambient Air Quality Due to A-10 Operations (28ms/m3) CO HC NOx TSP S02 A-10 1.T0 .48 .08 .UO2 .02 NAAQS .40,000 160 100 ' 260 365 (Avg Time) (1Hr) (3 Hr) (Annual (24 Hr) (24 Hr) *Source:.•, ssac usetts AnnuaI-M—r -quality Report for 1976 and 1977, Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, November 1978. 13 If the predicted concentrations for A-10 operations were all converted to longer averaging times, the numbers in Table 7 would become smaller. All predicted increased ambient concentrations are orders of magnitude below the ambient air quality standards. The anticipated increase in ambient pollutants, should the proposal be implemented, would be negligible. 5.3.2 Noise. The analysis of the impact of the alternate proposal if implemented at Westover AFB was conducted by the method explained in Section 3.4.3.2. The current noise environment was obtained from the Westover AFB Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study.* (AICUZ) The NOISEMAPS from the basic AICUZ study will be referred to as the base line and are shown as a dotted line in Attachment 14. Anticipated A-10 operation were then added to the basic Westover NOISEMAPS. F-100 transient operations contained in the basic AICUZ were reduced by 50% and changed to A-10 operation. The reason for this is that transient operations at Westover AFB are from Air Guard units located at Bradley IAP and Barnes MAP. Should this alternative be- implemented, the 104 TFG would not conduct transient operations at Westover AFB. They would be conducted at another airfield. The remaining F-100 transient operations were changed to A-10 since the unit at- Bradley LAP is converting from F-100 to A-10 aircraft. The solid line on Attachment 14 shows the impact of A-10 operations on the Westover AFB NOISE MAP. Analysis of the NOISIIKAPS reveals that the added A-10 operation do not significantly affect the basic NOISEMAPS. Change in total land area is shown in Table 8 below. TABLE 8 Basic NOISEMAP/A-10 Acreage Under Ldn Contours Westover AFB Ldn. Basic A-10 Change 75 231 142 -89 70 843 761 -82 65 2,123 2,084 -39 A reduction occurs in all the areas underlying the noise contours. This reduction occurs despite the increased number of A-10 operations due to the fact that the F-100 transient operations were- reduced by 50% and the remaining transient F-100 operations will be replaced by A-10 aircraft operations. F-100 aircraft generates much more noise than the A-10 and is virtually the controlling aircraft in shaping the noise contours. Small increases in areas under the 65 Ldn contour occur at the ends of runways 23, 15 and 33. Table 9 shows the increase in area under the 65 Ldn contour. �EEr Installation Compatille Use Zone (AICUZ) Westover AFB, 15 October 1978. 14 TABLE 9 b5 Ldn Area Increases at the Ends of Runways Westover AFB Runway Increase in Area 23 26 15 1 33 7 The increase in the area under the 65 Ldn contours occurs in portions of the clear zones at the ends of runway 23 and 33. This increased area should not result in any additional incompatible land use at the base, since the land is already on the base and is in the restricted clear zone. The clear zone is an area 2,000' by 3,0b0' immediately off of the end of the runways where no development is recommended due to the high aircraft accident potential in- these areas. The small increase in the 65 Ldn area off of the end of runway 15 should not cause any additional incompatibility. This one acre increase- occurs in the South Hadley area in accident potential Zone-II (APZ) . This area is currently zoned industrial/business commercial. No incompatibility would be created since the 65-70 Ldn in APZ-II is compatible with numerous types of industrial and commercial land use. The addition of the A-10 to Westover AFB would not generate -any additional Iand .use incompatibility, therefore, the noise impact of this alternative would be minimal. 5.3.3 Water. The base obtains its potable water from the Town of Chicopee. The supply should be adequate for projected future requirements. The sanitary sewer system is connected to the regional sewage treatment plant which has sufficient capacity for future growth. The industrial waste is pretreated in the base industrial treatment plant and then . pumped into the regional sewage system. There are three oil/water separators that serve the runway and ramp areas. There is a current NPDES permit for the three separator outfalls. Storm drainage is handled by a separate sewer- system. The base has a current SPCC plan which should adequately protect against any oil spills. The alternative proposal should have no impact an the Westover AFB water quality. All systems are adequate for current and projected missions. S.3.4 Socioeconomic and Construction Impacts. Should the alternative to relocate the 104 TFG to Westover AFB be accepted, little socioeconomic impact should be expected. Due to the closeness of the two locations, neither technicians- nor Guardsmen would be expected to relocate in _ .. .significant numbers. For the same reason, -technician salaries would not be expect&& to result iri.a 'signifzcant negative impact on Westfield or positive - impact on Chicopee. The loss of local purchase' 6xpenditures would produce a significant negative impact on the City of Westfield and an attendent positive impact on the City of Chicopee. Although some facilities have experienced deterioration, runways, taxiways, and aprons are in good condition and could accommodate an additional mission. Several facilities have the capability for expanded use and could be used jointly by AFRES and ANG units. 15 Military Construction Program cost. estimates for a.104 TFG.relocation to--Westover"is $6.57M. 5.3.5 Attendant Impact on Barnes MAP Given Relocation to Westover AFB. Should the proposal to relocate the 104 TFG to Westover AFB be adopted, noise generated at Barnes MAP would be reduced from those levels in Attachment 6 to those levels shown in Attachment 10. Barnes MAP would experience a reduction in pollutants generated by the 'amounts shown in Table 2. . Should the ANG mission be moved to Westover, less water would be purchased by Barnes MAP from the City of Westfield. Facilities occupied by the ANG at Barnes MAP would be declared excess to ANG requirements. The $3.47M estimate of military construction required to accommodate .the 104 TFG in 18 A-10 aircraft at Barnes MAP would not be realized. Joint use costs would be discontinued as would ANG fire and security police protection at Barnes MAP. As previously stated in Section 5.31, other costs such as salaries would not affect the local economy due to the closeness of the two facilities. In addition, neither technicians nor Guardsmen would be expected to move their homes as a result of the relocation of the 104 TFG to Westover AFB. 5.4 Alternative Aircraft 5.4.1 0-2 Aircraft. The 0-2 is a twin-engined Cessna aircraft used for the forward air controller (FAC) mission. Low- noise and air pollution makes the 0-2 the most environmentally superior alternative aircraft. No 0-2 aircraft are available for conversion unless a double conversion occurs. An 0-2 unit would have to convert to' A-10's in order to enable Barnes to convert to the 0-2. In addition, the 0-2 is an interim aircraft which would require eventual replacement. All follow on aircraft -to the 0-2 are jet-engined. Therefore, a conver- sion back to jet aircraft at Barnes MAP would be inevitable. Conversion to the 0-2 represents a change in mission and not a unit re.-equippage. Such a change would cause numerous operational problems. All the skills, experience and training represented by the existing tactical fighter unit would be lost. A large amount of ground training would be generated to support -the 0-2 mission. A reduction in personnel authori- zations would occur. Such an action would adversely affect recruiting and retention. 5.4.2 A-7 Aircraft. The A-7 is a single engine, single seat aircraft usable in the tactical fighter-missions and would represent a unit re-equippage at Barnes MAP. The A-7 and F-100 are similar with respect to environmental impacts. The A-7 however, is environmentally inferior to the A-10. The only A-71s available during the Barnes MAP conversion timeframe are already programmed for use at other facilities. The A-7 mission, being a tactical fighter mission is consistent with the present military mission at Barnes MAP, and this would not require large amounts of ground training required- for a mission change. Personnel authorizations would remain essentially the same. All other factors would be expected to remain constant. 16 6.0 ADVERSE IMPACTS WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED IF THE PROPOSAL IS IMPLE ETFED The proposal to re-equip the 104 TFG with A-10 aircraft represents an environmental improvement. Noise and air pollutant emissions would be decreased significantly. Most- other factors remain essentially constant. 7.0 IRREVERSIBLE AND IRRETRIEVABLE COM6Mff'IMENT OF RESOURCES IF PROPOSAL' IS IMPLE4IENTED 7.1 Construction Materials, funds, utilities, and labor devoted to the construction program associated with this proposal would be- considered irretrievably committed. Land which is used for construction. represents a long-term commitment, although all construction would take place in areas where land use is already aircraft-operation oriented. 7.2 Fuel The fuel committed for use by the A-10's would not be greater than that which is presently consLumed by the F-1001s. 8.0 PROBABLE Il14PACT ON LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY OF ENVIRONMENT IF PROPOSAL IS IMPLEvONTED The proposed conversion to A-10's is consistent with the present and historical role of the Massachusetts Air National -Guard in the defense posture of the United States. So long as aircraft operate from Barnes MAP, noise, air pollution, and the potential threat of accidents will affect the environment .of those residing in the area as well as military and civilian inhabitants and employees of the airport. This will be the case regardless of the final decision on the specific proposed aircraft conversion. 9.0 CONSIDERATIONS THAT OFFSET ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS There exists a substantial national defense requirement to maintain and enhance the Air National Guard's mission capability. Modernization of tactical aircraft is a necessary and integral part of this need. The 104 TFG and Barnes MAP offer many valuable assets facilitating accomplishment of the ANG's tactical fighter role, which argue in favor of upgrading to A-10 aircraft. Conversion to A-10's at Barnes MAP would permit retirement of the obsolescent F-100. The expertise of the 104 TFG personnel would continue to be effectively used. .The employment and other economic bene- fits associated with the presence of the ANG unit in the community would be retained. Environmental quality- would be enhanced. All of these factors would serve to further mission accomplishment in support of the national defense posture. 17 10.0" DETAILS'OF UNRESOLVED ISSUES There are no known major unresolved issues resulting from the proposed A-10 aircraft operations associated with Barnes MAP. 11.0 KNOWN OR EXPECTED CONTROVERSY There is a law suit involving the Massachusetts ANG operation at Barnes MAP, Massachusetts which is styled as: Bodendorf, et al v Brown et al, USDC MA, Civil Action No. 77-2336-S, and was filed on 9 August 1977. Plaintiffs are listed in the complaint as being homeowners in Westfield, MA and include members of a citizen's group called "SNAP" (Stop Noise and Air Pollution). The defendants are: the U.S. Secretary of Defense; the U.S. Secretary of Transportation; the Administrator, Federal Aviation Admini- stration; the Mayor, City of Westfield; the Chairman, Westfield City Council; individual members of the Westfield Airport Commission; the Governor of Massachusetts; the Director-of Aeronautics, Massachusetts Aeronautical Commission; the Chairman, Massachusetts Aeronautical Commis- sion; and individual members of the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission. In their law suit, the plaintiffs claim to' have been "severely and adversely" affected by 104 TFG F-100 operations; specifically by noise, vibrations, odors and pollutants. They allege that these operations constitute trespass, nuisance and taking without due process of law by the defendants. The plaintiffs' requested relief include an abatement of all activities constituting a nuisance, and $5 million in damages. The case is presently in the discovery -stage, and no trial date has yet been set. Since conversion to A-10 aircraft at Barnes MAP would not be a major federal action significantly effecting the human environment but would in fact result in a substantial improvement over the existing noise influence, it is not expected that controversy could be sustained because of noise effects. Noise impact analysis has shown that. not only would there be an improvement but that introduction of A-10's and withdrawal of F-100's-would cause little noise influence over that of the existing nonmilitary traffic. Thus, although there is an existing .controversy related to F-100 aircraft opera- tions and the resultant noise, it would appear that should there be continuing controversy upon introduction of A-10's it could not be supported by the severity of environmental factors but would have to rest upon other considerations. 18 1/ Air Quality Data 1975 Annual Statistics EPA - 450/2-77-002, May 1977. 2/ D.M.

(1 ) Supersonic flights are authorized in the MAC »:th 25,000 feet established as a minimum altitude. i (2) Pilots will insure supersonic flights are net conducted over populated areas. (3) Pilots will log all supersonic flights in acccrdance with A14GR 55-34. Forms are maintained at the OFS counter. c. NuLce Abz,4crrent Proreduee. To minimize noise in the immedlai e vicinity of Barnes Airp=,rt pilots will not practice VFR low approaches except when- ac,cmpenied by an IP for transition cr flight checks. Each pilot will utilize the following procedures. (1 ) Engine Run-up (a) Full power check and retard to 85% RPM. Takeoff roll will be initiated at 85% while smoothly advancing throttle to full military and then selecting AB. (2) After takeoff when weather conditions are 3,000' ceiling or 5 miles or greater. (a) Establish 220-230 KiAS climb with intermediate flaps. (b) Climb to 2500' MSL, retract flaps and accelerate. (c) Do not turn over the City of Westfield. ' 8-14. Takeoff and Departure Procedures ' a. Takeoff Procedures - All flights will depart IFR unless specific approval is granted by the SOF. Pilots will use �r request. runway 02 for takeoff unless the tailwind component exceeds 10 knots. On formation takeofi's two head nods will be used, the first for brake release; the second when afterburner is selected. b. Departure Procedures: 3 (1 ) VFR - Fcr Runway 02 noise abatement climb to 2,500' MSL then left turn to 270°. For Runway 20 noise abatement climb to 2,500' MSL requesting right turn out of traffic - start turn south of the City :,f Westfield to heading of 270°. 6 15 February 1977 TACR 55-100, Cshp 8/Gp Sup l f (2) IFR - When departing IFR climb pan runway heading t:11 3 DME then turn left or right to intercept outbound ccuree. Flighty will. file element clearances when existing weather is less than 3,000' and/or 5 males visibility. Join-up will be accomplished enroute in VMC under MARSA with Center approval. 8-15. Low Altitude Training Routes. , There are no stereotyped fl:gh!. plans for the LATR's. Filc•*. s will file a DD-175 for all missions that in•rlude ' the use of a LATR as published in Flip AP/lB. Prier coard;naticn 3s required from the controlling agency fcr ail LATR's. After becoming airborne, the flight will contact the appropriate F.S.S. on 255.4 MIl to advise them cf entry time and receive traffic advisories. z c 8-16. OPS Checks. Reply to "OPS Checks" will be total internal/lcrward fuel quantities, i .e. , "forty over sixteen". i - 8-17. Arrival Procedures. Pilots will utilize instrument prc?cedures to _ maximum extent possible. This may be accomplished by requesting radar vectors to a visual approach or published approach as desired. For VFR entry all flights will enter the traffic pattern at the I.P. ; Oxbcw or Congemcnd at 2300 MSL and 300 KIAS. "Short Initial" is permitted with tower approval. Pattern entry at Ccngamond will be from West to East to avoid Bradley Field Control Zone. % a. Landings. Traffic patterns at Westfield wi!i be flown at 2j00' MSL, ' 300 knt;ts, with breaks to the east for both runways. The do-=ircd tcueh- dawn po;nt 1a 1 ,000' from the runway threshold. The entire rus,why will ` be utilized for roll-out with the east half being designated as the fast lane. Runway- 20 is designated as the calm wind landing runway. i b. Touch and Go/Low Approaches. Touch and go landing, may be accomplished, with SOF approval, in the "F" with an IP aboard the aircraft. Turns will not be made below 1800' MSL on low approaches to minimize noise pollution. 8-18.

Only the Peregrine Falcon (Falco Per anus) might occur ocassi.onal3y as a migrant visitor. Two species- of birds which are quite rare in Massachusetts as breeders do, in fact, nest at Barnes. These are the {grasshopper Sparrow and Upland Sandpiper. Both these birds find little suitable habitat elsewhere in the state. Hone of these species would be adversely affected by the conversion from F100 to A6 aircraft. These species of concern. seem rather indifferent to noise levels and are more affected by hay cutting procedures. Pleas advise if you desire additional information. YerY truly Ycuro s r Btadford G.
