���!� <br /> +�-~ <br /> Mr. Mehler said earlier information was incorrect and he cited a letter dated <br /> June 30` 1982, in which new calculations were submitted by Mr. Matthews. He noted <br /> that he had referred to a company out of Wilmington, N.C. and Columbia, S.C. which <br /> primarily deals only with general aviation airports and the company said there <br /> would be 1'3 vehicles per landing and takeoff. Mr. Mehler noted that despite the <br /> discrepancy in the projected figures, Buck Mountian' is projecting in phase one, <br /> 156 vehicles per day; phase 2, 312 vehicles per day; and phase three 487 vehicles <br /> per day; he said that was less than a 10% increase in vehicular traffic. He <br /> said that no one really knows how many flights will come out of this airport nor <br /> how many vehicles will be generated by the airport. <br /> Mr. Kizer: Asked if flights at Midway would be restricted; explaining to <br /> Hr' Mehler, restrict operations of aircraft, And Mr, Kizer wondered, why the <br /> developers had chosen the "figure of 500 for HWA Which is a restricted airport; <br /> for example, if you are using a true range and you use the range of about 1700 <br /> which occurs at one airport; if you use the maximum range one would find that you <br /> could generate about 2200 trips per day," Mr. Kizer contends that this would <br /> iccrease by about 50% the highway traffic. <br /> Mr. Mehler: Replied that he had deferred to Mr. Bruce Matthews' expertise <br /> in this field. He felt that the 600 figure was a conservative one but a reunmp2b/e <br /> one; he added that the transient air traffic would not increase "five fold.'" <br /> Mr. Kizer: Asked if Nr. Mehler agreed that the figure cited was a conservative <br /> one. <br /> Mr. Mehler: Cited the Raleigh/Durham Airport experience and said the figures <br /> cited for Midway are "so high, in fact, that they are almost ridiculous." But, he <br /> continued, they are Mr. Matthews' and he is the best source nround' nhe reason <br /> that I think they are ridiculous is that at the maximum development, the number of <br /> flights coming into this airport..,projectedat that^many per vehicle, would have <br /> a very hiUh.,,higher than any other of its size in this area." <br /> Mr. Kizer: Asked Mr. Mehler if he had recalculated the NEF contours based on <br /> the new, larger "amounts of operation." Mr. Mehler responded that those new NEFs <br /> were based on the higher numbers of operations. <br /> Commissioner Gustaveynn: Asked if Mr. Mehler could give the examples of <br /> private airports he had used as models while working on Midway, which were located <br /> on the Eastern Seaboard, the Midwest or North Carolina. <br />
