“All the increased light pollution that’s going to come from your 45 or 55-foot lights that are going to go right over your earth berm into the houses right across the street,” said another community member.Northlink Aviation CEO Sean Dolan helped to assuage some fears at the meeting that chemical compounds could be leaked from the construction process into the adjacent neighborhoods, highlighting the importance of the terminal to the airport.
Dolan said the construction area was tested by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation for several chemical compounds, known assubstances, but the tests resulted in no PFAS being discovered. According to the company, when present, the chemicals can pose health risks to humans. He said there are further studies being conducted to learn more about the local environment around the airport.
