Some examples of habitat management include planting
unpalatable vegetation and managing wetlands on or adjacent to
airport lands to render them inaccessible or unattractive to
animals. Wetland management strategies include eliminating
water bodies; clearing water bodies of vegetation and maintaining
a 4:1 bank slope; erecting physical barriers to reduce access to
water; maximizing water dispersal; and controlling water depth.
The management of landfills, sewage lagoons, waste transfer
stations and waste disposal sites on and adjacent to airport property
is critical. Recommendations include fully enclosed buildings;
installation of perching deterrents; frequent inspections for loose
debris; minimizing odor; the removal of waste disposal sites on
airport grounds and conducting any disposal activities at night;
prohibiting animal and bird feeding at airports; and education
programs for cab drivers to reduce gull feeding. Currently, waste
disposal clauses are attached to zoning regulations at 55 airports in
Canada (Transport Canada, 2004).
Agricultural crops and practices on or adjacent to airports can
pose significant risk to airport operations. Transport Canada (2008)
recommends that airport managers work with landowners to
reduce the risk, and that any leased agricultural land on airport
property be managed carefully. A risk analysis carried out for Ohio
State University Airport recommended that agricultural practices
on airport lands be terminated (US Department of Agriculture,
2002).
