Notice of Availability for the O'Hare Modernization Draft Environmental Impact Statement, Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, IL; Notice of Availability; and Notice of Public Hearing Dates, Times, and Locations
Document Number: 05-1161
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-01-21
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that the O'Hare Modernization Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois is available for public review and comment. The DEIS identifies alternatives intended to address the projected needs of the Chicago region by reducing delays at O'Hare, thereby enhancing capacity of the National Airspace System, and ensuring that terminal facilities and supporting infrastructure can efficiently accommodate airport users. All of the development alternatives would result in wetland, property acquisition, air quality and noise impacts, as well as other impacts. The FAA intends to host public hearings on the DEIS with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Bureau of Water. The public hearings on the DEIS will be held on the following dates: Tuesday, February 22, 2005, at the Avalon Banquets, 1905 East Higgins Road, Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007; Wednesday, February 23, 2005, at the Waterford Conference Center, 933 South Riverside Drive, Elmhurst, Illinois 60126; and Thursday, February 24, 2005, at the White Eagle, 6839 North Milwaukee Avenue, Niles, Illinois 60714. All three of these hearings will start at 2 p.m. (central standard time), and registration to participate in the hearings will conclude by 9 p.m. (central standard time). Repressentatives of FAA, USACE and IEPA will be available to provide information about the DEIS at an informational session held at the same time as the public hearings. Spanish language translators will be available at the hearings. The procedural rules governing the hearing are available from Michael W. MacMullen. The comment period is open as of the date of this Notice of Intent and closes Wednesday, March 23, 2005. All comments are to be submitted to Michael W. MacMullen of the FAA, at the address shown below. The USACE and IEPA have requested that the FAA be the recipient of all comments regarding their actions. These comments must be sent to Michael W. MacMullen of the FAA at the address shown below, and the comments must be postmarked and email must be sent by no later than midnight, Wednesday, March 23, 2005. The USACE is participating in the public hearings because implementation of any development alternatives, if selected, would require the USACE to approve issuance of a permit to fill wetlands under section 404 of the Clean Water Act Section. The IEPA is participating in the public hearings because implementation of any wetland development alternative, if selected, would also require IEPA to issue a Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Clean Water Act.

Public Comment Requested on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Proposed Site Designation of the “LA-3” Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site off Newport Bay, Orange County, CA
Document Number: 05-1148
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-01-21
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
Dredging is essential for maintaining safe navigation in harbors and marinas in the Los Angeles County and Orange County region. Not all dredged materials are suitable for beneficial re-use (e.g., construction materials, wetlands restoration), and not all suitable materials can be deposited at the existing LA-2 ODMDS given costs and logistical constraints. The LA-3 ODMDS has been used for the disposal of dredged material by some Orange County projects in the past, but its ``interim'' status has expired. Therefore there is a need to designate LA-3 as a permanent ODMDS. No actual disposal operations are authorized by this action; and disposal can only take place after a Federal permit is secured. Before ocean disposal may take place, dredging projects must demonstrate a need for ocean disposal and the proposed dredged material must be suitable (non-toxic) according to USEPA ocean dumping criteria. Alternatives, including the option for beneficial re-use of dredged material, will be evaluated for each permit. Both LA-3 and LA-2 will be monitored periodically to ensure that each site operates as expected. This proposed site designation has been prepared pursuant to Section 102 of the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA). The evaluation is based on EPA's general and specific criteria. Field studies, modeling of sediment dispersion following dredged material disposal under various scenarios, incompatible use areas, and economic considerations are included in the evaluation. The preferred alternative location for a permanent LA-3 ODMDS is about 4.5 nautical miles offshore of Newport Bay and in water depths ranging from 1,500 to 1,675 feet. It is 2,400 meters southeast of the ``interim'' LA-3 site, and was determined to be the environmentally preferred location given its depth and stability. LA-3 will be managed regionally in conjunction with the existing LA-2 ODMDS. The preferred alternative in the draft EIS is to limit disposal of dredged material at the LA-3 ODMDS to a maximum of 2,500,000 cubic yards annually and to increase the maximum annual disposal limit at the LA-2 ODMDS to 1,000,000 cubic yards of dredged material. The draft EIS contains an evaluation of potential impacts associated with the preferred alternative, other combinations of managing LA-3 and LA-2 jointly, and the No-Action alternative. Comments were received during the scoping comment period and four public scoping meetings were held at Los Angeles and Orange County locations in July 2003. Revisions were made to the draft EIS to address these comments. Public Meetings: EPA is requesting written comments on this draft EIS from federal, state, and local governments, industry, non- governmental organizations, and the general public. Comments will be accepted for 45 days, beginning with the date of this Notice. Public meetings are scheduled at the following location and date:
