twitterPostal service takes final look at environmental assessment
Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2000 | 10:11 a.m.
The postal service now will sort through the 600 or so comments before issuing a final environmental assessment within 60 days.
The huge response should cause the postal service to rethink its refusal to prepare a more detailed environmental impact statement for the project, said Grove Burnett, director of the Western Environmental Law Center in Taos, N.M.
South Reno residents under the flight path are threatening to sue if the postal service does not prepare a full-blown EIS, which can take up to a year and cost $1 million.
The postal service plan calls for eight planes to take off five nights a week between 1:20 a.m. and 2:05 a.m. Seven of those planes would be noisy Boeing 727-200s.
