(F) Emit thermal discharge (e.g., steam from a power plant) that interferes with the pilot’s vision in the use of the airport;
(G) Cause significant air turbulence (e.g., exhaust from a peaker plant) where aircraft limit loads may be exceeded;
(H) Cause any other kind of emission that may cause a safety of flight issue;
(I) Create a bird or wildlife strike hazard that in any way endangers or interferes with the landing, takeoff or maneuvering of aircraft using or intending to use the airport;
