The purpose of this environmental assessment is to analyze the effects of Wildlife Services activities on civil and military airports in Minnesota to manage damage and hazards caused by mammalian and avian wildlife species. The magnitude of wildlife hazards to aviation will likely continue to increase with the rise in air traffic volume in the U.S., and the continuing desire to use open areas around airports for agriculture, disposal sites and wildlife habitat. The goal of Wildlife Services assistance at airports is to protect human health and safety by successfully discouraging wildlife from utilizing critical air and ground space necessary for safe aircraft operations.

"Aircraft collision with birds and other wildlife pose a significant risk to and cost the aviation industry hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and lost revenue every year. Most wildlife strikes occur with the airport environment; thus, the responsibility for mitigation falls upon the airport operator. Wildlife attractants that provide food, shelter, and water are often located in or adjacent to airports. This report presents information from literature and illustrative case examples on habitat management to deter wildlife at airports and manage risk to aviation. It is the third of three related syntheses of airport practice reports and completes the series wildlife risk management at airports." -- Preface.
