employment, and other relevant socioeconomic conditions (historic data/trends and future projections). This data may include state and regional economic data, tourism activity and trends, and area military or other state or federal government activity, as appropriate. Agency sources and coordination are anticipated to include Kittitas County, Department of Ecology, Washington State Board of Health, and US Census Bureau. Consultant will consider if the proposed action would have a disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority and low- income population based on data collected . 4.1.11 Farmlands -Consultant will coordinate with USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Because the study area is entirely within the current airport boundary and is currently zoned for airport development, it is not anticipated that a Farmland Conversion Impact Rating form (AD-1006) will be required. 4.1.12 Floodplains -Consultant will review the applicable work product from Task 3.5 and complete a technical report describing any potential impacts the project may have on floodplains. 4.1.13 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions/Climate -Although there are no federal standards for aviation-related GHG emissions, it is well-established that GHG emissions can effect climate. The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has indicated that climate should be considered in NEPA analyses. This task includes preparation of a qualitative air quality and GHG emissions summary in accordance with FAA Order 1050.lF. Consultant will review the environmental impacts of the proposed project alternatives considering GHG emissions. The review will consider the potential incremental change in GHG emissions from the proposed project and alternatives compared to the no-action alternative for the same timeframe. The proposed action or alternative is not thought to reasonably increase GHG emissions over the no- action alternative and therefore not substantially contribute to the US-based GHG emissions. The findings will be briefly explained in this section of the EA. 4.1.14 Hazardous Materials-Consultant will review the applicable work product from Environmental Inventory and complete a summary and assessment of any Hazardous Materials identified in the study area. Impacts and Environmental Consequences will be evaluated for the No Action and Proposed Action alternatives . The Consultant will develop recommendations for avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures. Phase I or II investigations are not included within this scope. 4.1.15 Historical, Architectural, Archaeological and Cultural Resources-Consultant will review the applicable work product from Task 3.2. and complete a technical report describing any potential impacts the project may have on archeological and/or historical resources . 4.1.16 Induced Socioeconomics -Consultant will review and summarize socioeconomic impacts including shifts in patterns of population movement and growth; public service demands; changes in business and economic activities; and other factors identified by the public. Agency sources and coordination are anticipated to include Kittitas County, Department of Ecology, Washington State Board of Health, and US Census Bureau.
