53 AIRPORT COOPERATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM SYNTHESIS S13-10-10 HABITAT MANAGEMENT TO DETER WILDLIFE AT AIRPORTS QUESTIONNAIRE Your help with the synthesis of wildlife habitat management topics at airports is appreciated. Please con- sider this questionnaire referring to a single topic attractant or technique for controlling that attractant. Feel free to fill out multiple questionnaires if several topics apply to your airport or airports that you work with. Information you provide will be summarized into a case example to be included into a management guide by the Transportation Research Board. It is not necessary to answer all questions–please provide as much information as is available. If you would like the airport and airport personnel to remain anonymous in the case example please indicate so below. Please return this file with your comments and answers to cayers@cfr.msstate.edu. Thank you again for your consideration and cooperation. Information Airport name: Airport location: Respondent’s name: Respondent’s e-mail: Would you like this case example to remain anonymous? Description Please briefly describe the wildlife attractant or control technique: Please answer the following questions if relevant to your attractant or control technique. Potential Wildlife Attractant Does this attractant exist on or off airport property? Was this attractant an unintentional development from airport design or naturally occurring? APPENDIX A QUESTIONNAIRE FOR GATHERING INFORMATION FROM AIRPORTS FOR CASE STUDIES ON SPECIFIC WILDLIFE ATTRACTANTS

54 How long after airport opening did this attractant become evident or develop? Can the attractant be removed without changing airport function? What wildlife species were attracted to this habitat feature? How much money has been spent on or what is the cost of wildlife deterrence from this attractant (Total if problem is solved, annually if chronic issue)? How much money has been spent on or what is the cost of modification or removal of this attractant? Control Technique What attractant or hazard was this technique intended to prevent or reduce? Was this technique an original part of airport design or installed after for prevention or attention to a recognized potential attractant or hazard? How much money has been spent on or what is the cost of this technique? Was this technique effective? How was this technique’s effectiveness measured? Would you use this technique again?

55 What do you think could have been an alternative approach to using this technique? What were any permitting issues involved with using this technique? What wildlife species did this technique target, work for, and not work for and how was this determined? Photos Are photos available of this attractant and/or control technique and may they be used with photographer credit? If so, please attach them as separate files with your response e-mail.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Synthesis 52: Habitat Management to Deter Wildlife at Airports presents information 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.

ACRP Synthesis builds on previous ACRP documents, including ACRP Synthesis 23, ACRP Report 32, and ACRP Synthesis 39, which address bird deterrence and harassment techniques, various wildlife hazards and control techniques, and population management methods, respectively.
