Download as PDF jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 77 / Monday, April 23, 2007 / Notices • Construct new aircraft parking and storage facilities to meet existing and future demands, and • Implement an improved wildlife hazard management program that will reduce potential for aircraft collisions with wildlife. FAA published the Draft EIS (DEIS) in April 2005. The DEIS was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The DEIS disclosed the environmental consequences associated with the proposed development activities at JNU and analyzed multiple alternatives associated with six Proposed Actions, including No Action Alternatives. After publication of the FEIS, FAA issued new guidance (a change to Advisory Circular 150/5300–13) regarding undershoot protection requirements for runway safety areas (RSA). This new guidance provided FAA an opportunity to change some of the RSA configurations analyzed in the DEIS. As a result, the FEIS includes three additional RSA alternatives representing modifications of alternatives evaluated in the DEIS. These alternatives are identified as RSA–5D—Relocate Runway 26 Threshold and Construct Additional Runway and Safety Areas; RSA–5E— Displace Runway 08 Threshold 120 Feet and Construct Additional 26 Runway and Safety Area (Sponsor’s Proposed Project); and RSA–6D—Threshold Displacement using Declared Distance Criteria with Option for EMAS. One of these modified alternatives, RSA–5E, was adopted by the Airport Sponsor as the Proposed Action and is the FAA’s preferred alternative. Other substantive FEIS changes were made in response to public comment on the DEIS, with particular efforts to reduce environmental impacts to the Refuge and important habitat. Among the changes included are an alternative location for placement of the Automated Surface Observation System, a modified channel configuration for the relocation of lower Duck Creek, additional hydraulic modeling for the tidal sloughs east of the existing runway, analysis of potential affects on Mendenhall River hydraulics and geomorphology, a conceptual compensatory mitigation plan, updated cost estimates, and detailed analysis of potential impacts to Alaska Airlines special navigation procedures employed at JNU. Those portions of the FEIS containing the substantively updated information include but are not limited to the following sections and their subsections and their subsections: 2.2.2, 2.6, 2.11, VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:17 Apr 20, 2007 Jkt 211001 2.12, 2.13, 4.2, 4.3, and Appendices A, C, I, J, K, L, and M. The proposed Airport improvements would be completed during the 2007– 2015 time period and would result in impacts to wetlands, water quality, wildlife habitat, vegetation, essential fish habitat, visual quality, socioeconomics, air, noise and two DOT Section 4(f) properties, the Dike Trail and the Mendenhall Wetlands State Game Refuge. FAA will not make decisions on the Proposed Actions for a minimum of 30 days following publication of this Notice of Availability of the FEIS in the Federal Register. FAA will record the appropriate decisions in a Record of Decision. FEIS Availability and Review Copies of the FEIS may be viewed during regular business hours at the following locations: 1.
