An "indefinite postponement" of the runway extension also means there is no
longer any reason why the 55/62 interchange needs to be dug into the
ground to stay under the overflight of airplanes.
MnDOT has said to the Lower Mn Watershed meeting that's the reason why
the interchange is dug down at all. So now the road can be raised and
Coldwater Spring can be saved for sure from that threat.
Of course this all gets to go through the legislator as that is where MnDOT
has decided to take it. (at least if they keep up with their initial claims)

MAC Deputy Executive Director Nigel Finney briefed the airports Planning
and Environment committee today, and described the capitol improvement
budget cuts planned in the wake of the events of September 11th.
Capitol improvement spending will be severely cut for the year 2003,
from a planned $371 million to a skeletal $76 million.
In response to a question concerning the acquisition of the Bureau of
Mines property (which contains the spring around which the Camp
Coldwater community was centered), Finney said the airlines are in favor
of indefinitely postponing the runway 4/22 extension project, which
includes the purchase of the Bureau of Mines. ("Indefinite
postponement" is the term used by airports and airlines in substitute
for the word "canceled".)
Finney also stated that the MAC is withdrawing from negotiations for the
Bureau of Mines purchase in response to the airline's decision
supporting an indefinite postponement of the 4/22 runway extension.
