Notes
Newspaper article reporting on remarks by Stanley M. Greenfield, assistant administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, about how environmental and ecology laws have slowed construction and expansion of new airports. Greenfield addressed a session of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Olympic Hotel, stating the American air-transportation system is ‘at a crunch.’ Article covers airport noise abatement, air and water pollution from airports, buffer zones, land use, secondary environmental impacts including industrial growth near airports, and capacity projections — including Department of Transportation forecasts that passenger air miles will double by 1980 and freight will increase four-fold by 1980. References Kansas City, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Francisco International Airport, and the new Dallas-Fort Worth airport as examples.
