Mr. Hazard continued saying that he is not "worried about <br /> hired help" but he is concerned about "what it takes to keep the runway operational." <br /> He felt that it was more useful to look at those airports with similar climatic <br /> conditions in order to evaluate the o eva ua stress and motion on the runway itself. <br /> Ms. Crawford: Asked about the method of runway construction and materials <br /> to be used. <br /> Mr. Hazard: Said that they have specifications from the FAA and they were <br /> also checking the "operation maintenance data" from other airports with regard to <br /> freezing and snow removal. He added that if there is no air evacuation operation <br /> at Midway, "I doubt very seriously that we would take snow off the runway."

Mo'" <br /> Ms. Crawford: "It's really hard to sell a project that no one knows anything <br /> about." <br /> Mr. Hazard: "We are asked to do this tremendous amount of work',.1f, if and <br /> 1f,.,-and we don't even know what lenght runway you're going to approve yet." He <br /> added that the project had been in the works for three years and that he "honestly <br /> cannot answer the question." <br /> ' * <br /> Ms, CraWford: "That's fine." <br /> Commissioner Gustaveson: Asked Mr. Hazard his estimate of the cost of phase <br />
