The FAA
is currently preparing an EIS for the
implementation of proposed projects at
the Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport. Major
projects already included in the EIS
include improvements to the runway
safety area; installation of an approach
light system; construction of a parallel
taxiway; construction of a seaplane
pullout; and repairs and improvements
to the airport seawall. These projects,
along with other projects proposed to
improve safety and efficiency and
accommodate growing aviation demand,
were identified in the Sitka Airport
Master Plan.
It has been determined that portions
of property believed to be existing
airport lands are not currently state
owned, but instead are federally owned,
and managed by the Bureau of Land
Management. If the proposed airport
improvements are approved through the
EIS process, portions of the federal
lands, including those commonly
referred to as the Makhnati lands, would
need to be transferred from federal to
state ownership before implementation
of proposed airport improvements. As
such, the FAA is adding the transfer of
the lands necessary for implementation
of the projects being assessed in the EIS
as well as lands necessary for other
existing and future aviation uses, as a
proposed action that will be examined
in the EIS. The federally owned lands
needed for aviation uses include
segments of filled land on Japonski
Island, Charcoal Island, and portions of
submerged land surrounding the airport.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to the proposed actions are
addressed and that all significant issues
are identified, the FAA intends to
coordinate and consult with the public;
tribal governments; and Federal, State,
and local agencies that have jurisdiction
by law or have special expertise with
respect to any environmental impacts
associated with the proposed projects.
Agencies and the public may submit
written comments via the address
under, ‘‘To Submit Written Comments,
Send to.’’ Comments must be submitted
by December 31, 2007.
