Water ManagementSWF is developing a grid wire system to exclude wading birds, waterfowl, and gulls from thedetention pond adjacent to the GE hangar. Design has been completed and materials havebeen purchased for the installation, which should be completed in spring 2013.

Large puddles after rain events will be monitored and removed as warranted Repeatedponding in areas will be examined to determine the cause. Drains may be clogged orgrading/repaving may be necessary to eliminate the problern.

SWF will investigate ponding in the irrigation ditch adjacent to Route 17K and along the airportsperimeter and construction roads, If feasible, an underground drainage, system will be installedto exclude wading birds, waterfowl, and gulls.

Target Completion Date: Spring 2013 and On-going

Turf/Vegetation Management and LandscapingAll airport vegetation will be in accordance with the Port Authority Engineering Department's"Aviation Landscape and Sustainable Design Criteria". More specific grass seed specificationcan be found in Engineering Document Division 2, Section 02930 "Seeding C-Specification",For a detailed recommended plant list, refer to Appendix G.

Turf will be maintained a.hefight of 6 to 10 inches where conditions allow. In areas proneto

grazing by geese, turf alternatives will be used such as planting of alternative grasses, artificialturf, or reshaping of turf through plantings of shrubs or trees.

SWF will use weed whacking, chemical application, and sealant to remove grass growingthrough concrete and asphalt, specifically near the approach of Runway 27, to eliminate coverand nesting habitat used,by. killdeer,. SWF will sweep the remaining dirt and vegetation. fromhard surfaces to remove nesting material, SWF will evaluate the feasibility of removing thishabitat to eliminate Potential hazards as Part Of its future plans,


Old Tower HillSWF will remove woody and shrubby vegetation from old tower hill to reduce cover for deer andcoyote and perching locations for raptors and blackbirds. In an attempt to reduce the risk ofwildlife hazards, a plan is being developed that will eliminate this habitat. In

the interim, SWFwill perform patrols of old tower hill on foot and/or by vehicle on a periodic basis to addresscurrent and future wildlife concerns and will bulldoze vegetation as needed. Hazards will bedocumented on the SWF Wildlife Management Control Log as warranted (Appendix 1)

Portions of Old Tower Hill were removed (vegetation and soil) during construction on TaxiwayC. Whenever possible, soil from Old Tower Hill will be removed and reused for construction,

Federal PermitsIn accordance with Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations Part 10 (50CFRI0), Title 50, Code ofFederal Regulations Part 13 (50CFR13), and Title 60, Code of Federal Regulations Part 21(50CFR21), the airport is required to obtain a federal pen-nit to kill migratory birds. This permitmust be renewed annually through the Region 5 United States Fish & Wildlife Set-vice (USFWS)office in Hadley, Massachusetts (See Appendix B),

A report of the species taken under the pert-nit must be filed at the time of renewal or expirationof the depredation permit. The report must contain the species taken, the dates the specieswere taken, how many of each species were taken, the number of nests and eggs destroyed,and the final disposition of the -carcass (burled, incinerated, or donated to permitted individualsor agencies). The annual report and the permit renewal form must be returned to USFWS nolater than 30 days prior to the expiration of the permit. Copies of these reports Must also besent to NYSDEC Special Licenses Unit in Albany, New York,

State PermitsAs long as SWF holds a current USFWS migratory bird depredation permit, no state migratorybird depredation licenses are required. However, because SWF has special authorization tononlethally disperse state-listed threatened and endangered species, JFK must maintain a NewYork State Depredation License (Airport #47). New York State requires the airport to obtain astate airport air strike hazard permit, Permit Number 3-03-01, to take nuisance wildlife at anytime when it becomes a threat to aircraft and airport safety. Nuisance wildlife includes "allwildlife except threatened and endangered species, species of special concern, and migratorybirds requiring federal and/or state permits and licenses." This airport air strike hazard permit iscontinuous until revoked and does not need to be renewed.

Personnel

The Airport Operations Department is primarily responsible for wildlife management on the

airport. The Operations staff is comprised of the Airport Operations Manager, Wildlife

Coordinator, and Airport Operations Officers, Additional wildlife contractors may assist in

wildlife management at SWF,

Wildlife Hazard Working Group

A Wildlife Hazard Working Group was created by SWF to help address wildlife issues and

coordinate mitigation efforts on a community level, Members of the working group include:

Stewart Air National Guard, The Town of Newburgh, and Orange County, New York. In

the

future, this group may be expanded to include property owners within a 5-mile radius of the

AOA whose properties attract large numbers of geese and other hazardous wildlife. SWF will

encourage these properties to engage in wildlife hazard mitigation efforts, Members of the

working group and property owners are encouraged to maintain their property as to avoid

providing geese with an additional food source and to eliminate any potential attractants.

This working group is also used as a forum to help coordinate activities between SWF and

Stewart ANG. These activities include but are not limited to: vegetation, water, and wildlife

management. Additionally, SWF and Stewart ANG may discuss aspects of this WHMP and the

105" Airlift: "Wi6g'Bird Air66ft Strike Hazard (BASH) Plan 91-212. ANG personnel responsible

Section 337: Wildlife Hazard Management Plan 7

All inspections including wildlife patrol, wildlife observations, and daily runway sweeps areintegrated to the Daily Self-inspection Program and recorded in the Wildlife ManagementControl log (See Appendix 1).

A list of suppliers of wildlife management equipment is attached in Appendix B (List of SupplySources) of this plan

WILDIFE CONTROL PROCEDURES —14 CFR Part 139.337(f)(5)Procedures to be followed during air carrier operations

Assignment of Duties — 139.337(f)(6)(i)The section on AUTHORITY - 14 CFR Pail 139.337(f)(1) designates personnel responsible forimplementing wildlife management procedures, The Airport Operations Manager oversees theairport's wildlife management program and all wildlife control activities at SWR The Operationsdepartment in staffed 24/7 with a minimum of two Operations officers per twelve hour (12) shiftavailable to conduct wildlife patrols, respond to wildlife hazards and wildlife strikes, report allwildlife strikes to the FAA National Wildlife Strike Database, and supervise contract employees.The Port Authority Wildlife Biologists recommend and monitor wildlife hazard managementprograms and special projects. Wildlife contractors, such as USDA, perform routine wildlifemonitoring and may assist SWF and NYANG staff with wildlife control activities in a cooperativeeffort.

Inspections — 14 CFR Part 139,337(f)(5)(ii)Airport Operations personnel will monitor the entire AOA 7 days per week for wildlife andattractants. Wildlife staff will.-monitor the AOA closely during the hours of dawn and dusk,Airport Operations pprsonnel,will conduct at least one full length inspection of each runway eachday, including full-length inspections before any closed runway is reopened and after anywildlife strike is reported. All wildlife strikes will be reported using the online wildlife strikereporting form (http://wildlife-mitigation ,tc.faa,gov/wildlife), All wildlife observations will belogged in the airport's Wildlife Observation and Control Log, The Airport Operations Managerwill be notified on any wildlife attractants once they are detected.

Wildlife Hazard Control Measures —14 CFR Part 139.337(f)(5)(iii)Before conducting any wildlife control activities for the first time, staff must read and understandall conditions for control in the airport's wildlife permits. Staff must read all new or updatedpermits when they are issued to ensure that staff is familiar with the most current permitconditions.

Bird Control

Harassment — Generally the first step in controlling bird hazards. Wildlife Management staffwill use pyrotechnics or other legal non-lethal methods to disperse the hazard. Care istaken to disperse birds away from the active runway and dispersals are conducted betweenaircraft movements whenever possible. If harassment methods are ineffective, lethal controlmay be used as stipulated by SWF's depredation permits (Appendix C).

New York State listed threatened and endangered species and species of specialconcern may be harassed using nonlethal control methods only. Federally listedthreatened and endangered species may not be harassed or depredated without priorapproval from USFWS (Appendix C).

Stewart International AirportSection 337 -1 Wildlife Hazard Management Plan

Capture — Traps may be used to capture starlings, house sparrows, red-winged blackbirds,brown-headed cowbirds, and pigeons. Trapped birds should be eUthanized and disposed ofin accordance with the airport's depredation permit. Any non-target birds that are capturedare immediately released,

Lethal Control — Wildlife Management staff shall use lethal control when non-lethal controlefforts have failed to produce the desired results, when there is an immediate threat toaircraft safety, or as part of a specific depredation program. Birds not specifically listed onthe airport's federal depredation pert-nit may be taken if the bird presents an immediatehazard to aircraft. This must be reported to the Wildlife Coordinator who will notify thePANYNJ — Aviation Wildlife Biologist and file a written report of the emergency take toUSFWS within 72 hours.

Threatened and endangered birds are excluded from this emergency take clause andmay not be killed under any circumstances,

Additionally, European starlings and blackbirds, crows, pigeons, and house sparrows can bedepreciated without a federal or state permit. Birds such as wild turkey, ring-neckedpheasant, and mute swans may be depredated Linder the airport's Airport Air Strike HazardPermit (See Appendix C).

Some circumstances may require birds to be depreciated even before harassment methodsare attempted. Because of the substantial threats posed by gulls, immediate lethal controlshould be considered. Nonlethal control methods can be effective in dispersing gulls,-however, gulls may be persistent. Lethal control should be used regularly to reinforce thenonlethal control techniques.

SWF has a zero-tolerance policy for geese, swans, and turkey. Lethal control should beemployed immediately in areas where firearms can be safely used. These birds should notbe allowed to land or sit on the airport and depredation/dispersal should be the first priority.This shall include but is not limited to, the AOA, Crestview Lake, and/or Maroney ponds.

Airport Operations personnel will follow the procedures listed above to I)O1,8S8 anddepredate hazardous bird species from airport property outside of the AOA (including butnot limited to: Crestview Lake and Maroney Pond), Control activity at these locations will becoordinated to help prevent dispersing birds from flying onto the AOA or near active flightpaths.

All depredated birds are disposed of in accordance with the airport's depredation permits.The carcasses of all threatened and endangered species must be saved and turnedover to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as directed bythe NYDEC Regional Wildlife Manager.

Mammal Control

Harassment— Mammals may be harassed using any available legal method

Capture — The NYS DEC Air Strike Air Hazard Permit allows SWF to trap and kill hazardousmammals (except deer) with box. cage, foothold, and/or body-gripping traps. These animalsmust be euthanized and may not be removed or relocated from airport property.


Lethal Control — Nuisance mammals (including deer) may be shot in accordance with the

airport's state Airport Air Strike Hazard Permit,

SWF has a zero-tolerance policy for white-tailed deer and coyotes. Deer and coyotesshould be lethally removed from the AOA as soon as they are detected. These animals maybe rernoved as outlined in the Airport Air Strike Hazard Permit,

Domestic animals will be captured and returned to their owners, If absolutely necessary,domestic animals may be shot. Shooting is appropriate only when all other non-lethalmethods have been attempted to capture the animal and aircraft safety is threatened, orwhen a dog or other domestic animal is acting aggressively towards people or exhibitssymptoms of rabies.

All depreciated mammals should be disposed of in accordance with the airport's Airport Air

Strike Hazard Permit,

Air Traffic Control Communication - 14 CFR Part 139,337(f)(6)(iv)Procedures to communicate/for communicating between personnel conducting wildlifecontrol or observing wildlife, hazards and the air traffic control tower,

Procedures & Training,The ATCT must be contacted prior to entering an active runway or runway safety area at SWIF,SWF staff will notify the ATCT when wildlife control activities may have an impact upon aircraftor their flight path, If wildlife hazards are present on or adjacent to active runways, the DutyOperations Supervisor will, make a determination as to the severity of the situation anddetermine if aircraft operations will be suspended, Airport staff will eliminate or mitigate thewildlife hazard and/or issue a NOTAM. If aircraft operations were suspended, staff willimmediately contact ATCT to resume aircraft operations upon completion of wildlife hazardefforts.

ATCT will be notified of special projects that may impact their operations. Notification will bemade in writing or verbally over the telephone.

Staff receives initial training in proper radio procedures during on-the-job training and drivertraining. Recurrent training is provided via Part 139 using MS PowerPoint presentations andwritten tests.

EquipmentAll SWF and USDA airside vehicles are equipped with two-way radios to communicate directlywith FAA ATCT. Vehicles are also equipped with amber roof lights to make them moreconspicuous to ATCT and flight crew personnel.

Air Traffic Control Tower Personnel that observe hazardous wildlife will communicate thisinformation immediately to Airport Operations via a landline and/or Ground and Local Controlfrequencies,
