Notice of Cancellation of
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Norfolk International Airport,
Norfolk, Virginia
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of cancellation of
preparation of environmental impact
statement.
AGENCY:
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces that it
has discontinued preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the proposed construction of new
Runway 5R/23L and associated
development at Norfolk International
Airport, Norfolk, Virginia. The FAA’s
discontinued preparation of the EIS is
based upon the length of time that has
elapsed since the issuance of the Notice
of Intent (NOI) in 2001 for the project
and the need to consider results from
additional planning efforts completed
by the Norfolk Airport Authority (NAA),
the owner and operator of the airport.
The additional planning effort by NAA
has modified the project purpose and
need and refined various project
elements, including the need to relocate
the Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air
Navigation (VORTAC) facility. As a
result of the additional planning
studies, refinements to the project
scope, and the time elapsed; the FAA
has decided to discontinue the EIS as
proposed in the NOI from 2001.

Federal Register a Notice of Intent (NOI)
to prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) and hold a Public
Scoping Meeting at Norfolk
International Airport (Volume 66,
Number 125, FR 34508–34509). The EIS
and Public Scoping Meeting were to
address the proposed construction of
new Runway 5R/23L and associated
development at the airport, including
new taxiway construction, taxiway
relocation, runway safety area
construction, new airfield lighting,
improvements to existing lighting,
relocation of the VORTAC facility,
installation of a Medium Intensity
Approach Lighting System with
Runway Alignment Indicator Lights
(MALSR) for the new Runway 23L, and
a Category II Instrument Landing
MALSR for new Runway 5R.
In 2001, the FAA based its decision to
prepare the EIS on the procedures
described in FAA Order 5050.4A,
Airport Environmental Handbook, and
FAA Order 1050.1D, Policies and
Procedures for Considering
Environmental Impacts. FAA also based
its decision to prepare a federal EIS
primarily on NAA’s proposal to
construct a new Runway 5R/23L in
parallel to the existing Runway 5/23,
which would be re-designated as
Runway 5L/23R. The new runway was
proposed to be 8,000 feet long and 150
feet wide and would have a runway
centerline separation from the existing
runway of 845 feet.
Subsequently, NAA completed
supplemental planning efforts that
necessitated making changes to the
proposed project’s purpose and need.
Therefore, the proposed project’s
purpose and need has recently been
revised and various project components,
including the relocation of the
VORTAC, are no longer required. The
NAA submitted an Airport Layout Plan
revision to the FAA that depicted the
refined project elements. The Airport
Layout Plan was conditionally
approved, subject to environmental
review by the FAA on October 5, 2011.
The FAA will determine the appropriate
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) documentation necessary to
assess the environmental effects of the
proposed improvements pursuant to
FAA Order 5050.4B, National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Implementing Instructions for Airport
Actions, and FAA Order 1050.1E,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures.
