Notice of Approval of Finding of No
Significant Impact/Record of Decision
(FONSI/ROD) for the Proposed
Replacement Airport (XWA) Serving D–
III Aircraft in Williston, North Dakota
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The FAA is announcing
approval of Finding of No Significant
Impact/Record of Decision for the
proposed replacement airport (XWA)
serving D–III aircraft in Williston, North
Dakota. The FAA approved the FONSI/
ROD on September 22, 2015.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FONSI approved the Sponsor’s
proposed action to develop aviation
facilities that meet FAA airport design
standards and accommodate current and
projected levels of aviation activity for
the Williston area. The need for the
proposed action is to provide aviation
facilities necessary to meet the expected
demand for the forecasted growth of air
traffic in Williston area consistent with
FAA airport design standards for ARC
D–III aircraft, as well as provide the
capability for anticipated future
operation of larger aircraft.
The City of Williston proposes to
decommission the existing Sloulin Field
International Airport (ISN) and
construct, operate and maintain a new
airport located in Williston, North
Dakota. The Airport will be relocated
approximately 6 miles north and 5 miles
west of Williston. The proposed new
terminal building would be located
approximately 2.5 miles from US
Highway 2. The proposed new airport
would be called the Williston Basin

International Airport and the airport
identifier changed to (XWA).
The City of Williston proposes to
relocate the Sloulin Field International
Airport to develop aviation facilities
that meet FAA airport design standards
and accommodated current and
projected levels of aviation activity.
They propose to construct two runways
and related aviation facilities that meet
FAA airport design standards for
Airport Reference Code (ARC) D–III
aircraft as well as acquire land for
compatible land use and expansion of
facilities to future aviation demands.
Development of a replacement airport
requires FAA approval of an airport
layout plan (ALP), the final EA and
FONSI/ROD and approval of funding
from local agencies, North Dakota
Aeronautics Commission (NDAC), and
the FAA. The proposed action would
require the acquisition of land for the
construction of access roads,
construction of runways, taxiways,
aprons and various airport structures,
and the installation of navigational aids
to meet FAA design standards for ARC
D–III aircraft. The proposed action
includes acquisition of land for
compatible land use, construction of
facilities, and the closure and sale of the
existing Sloulin Field International
Airport. The relocated airport is
anticipated to be constructed from
2015–2018, pending funding
availability.
The FONSI/ROD indicates the project
is consistent with existing
environmental policies and objectives as
set forth in the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended
and will not significantly affect the
quality of the environment.
In reaching this decision, the FAA has
given careful consideration to: (a) The
role of Williston Airport plays in the
national air transportation system, (b)
aviation safety, and (c) preferences of
the airport owner/operator, and (d)
anticipated environmental impact.

22, 2015.
