It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes and lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the party having the difficulty, and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes and lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing party or parties when such settlement is unfavorable to it in the judgment ofthe party having the difficulty.

J. Dirt, debris, or othcr transicnt accumulation which temporarily obscures pavement markings pavement edges, or derogates the visibility of runway/taxiway marking or lighting or of construction and maintenance areas. k. Trash or other materials with forcign object debris (FOD) potentials, whether on runways, taxiways, taxilanes, aprons or in related safety areas. 1. Failure to control vehiclc, human and large animal access to, and nonessential non- aeronautical activitics on, open aircraft movement areas. m. Failure to maintain radio communication between construction vehicles and air traffic control or other on-field communications facility. n. Construction activities or material which could hamper Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicle access from ARFF stations to all parts of the runway/taxiway system, runway approach and departure areas, or aircraft parking locations. o. Inadequate fencing or other marking to separate construction areas from open aircraft operating areas. (Lightweight frangible barricades and/or flagging should be used to identify the limits of construction near open trenches or excavations) p. Bird attractions such as edibles (food scraps, etc.), trees, brush, other trash, grass/crop seeding, or ponded water on or near the airport. q. Tall but relatively low visibility units such as cranes, drills and thc like, in critical areas such as safety areas and approaches. r. Improper or malfunctioning lights or unlighted airport hazards. Division 6-31 ~I s. Holes, obstacles, loose pavement, trash and other debris on or near AOA. t. Failure to maintain fencing during construction to deter human intrusions into the AOA.
