meeting the requirements of 14 CFR Part 139 commonly related to air carrier operations. <br /> As ELN is not Part 139 certificated airport, it is not held to that standard. In place of a <br /> Wildlife Hazard Assessment (WHA), required for Part 139 airports, a Wildlife Hazard <br /> Evaluation (WHE) was conducted to identify hazardous wildlife and attractants which <br /> could possibly impact aviation safety. Staff from the USDA WS helped develop the <br /> WHMP including conducting the WHE. <br /> The WHMP is developed with the intent of increased safety. At the time of plan <br /> development, no wildlife strikes were reported for ELN. The WHMP includes a practical <br /> discussion for dealing with key hazard groups identified during the WHE, this included <br /> blackbirds, corvids, raptors and waterfowl. This plan also includes information on habitat <br /> management to take proactive measures to reduce attractiveness to wildlife. The plan also <br /> recommends periodic reviews and updates by airport staff. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> WHMP identifies work items which can be accomplished within the current maintenance <br /> and operations budget. Future years' work will require evaluation of annual budget. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Draft Bowers Field Wildlife Hazard Management Plan <br />
