Minnesota Airports District Office
(ADO), 6020 28th Avenue South, Suite
102, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55450.
Telephone number is (612) 253–4639.
Copies of the FONSI/ROD and/or Final
EA are available upon written request
by contacting Mr. Josh Fitzpatrick
through the contact information above.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
EA evaluated the DTL Runway 13/31
Shift/Extension and Associated
Improvements Project. Due to airfield
deficiencies identified by the FAA and
Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) at DTL, the
purpose of the proposed action is to
provide a usable, reliable, and safe
primary runway at an airport in or near
the City of Detroit Lakes that is
compliant with FAA and MnDOT
design standards, guidance, and
minimum system objectives for key
airports.
The FAA and the City of Detroit Lakes
jointly prepared the Final Federal EA/
State of Minnesota Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS), pursuant to the
requirements of the NEPA and the
Minnesota Environmental Policy Act.
The Final EA identified and evaluated
all reasonable alternatives. Numerous
alternatives were considered but
eventually discarded for not meeting the
purpose and need. Five alternatives (No
Action, Alternative 3, Alternative 4,
Alternative 5, and Alternative 7) were
examined in detail. After careful
analysis and consultation with various
resource agencies, the City of Detroit
Lakes selected Alternative 3 as the
preferred alternative. Alternative 3
satisfies the purpose and need while
minimizing impacts.
Alternative 3 includes a shift,
widening, and extension to 5,200-feet of
DTL’s primary runway and parallel
taxiway to meet FAA and MnDOT
design standards and operator runway
length requirements. The primary
runway would be reconstructed to
replace aging and deteriorating
pavement. Two taxiways would be
removed and replaced that connect the
primary runway and parallel taxiway.
An instrument approach to the Airport’s
primary runway with CAT–I minimums
(1⁄2 statute mile visibility and 200-foot
cloud ceiling height) to meet MnDOT
requirements would be implemented.
The Airport’s Automated Weather
Observing System (AWOS) will be
relocated due to the project and
property will be acquired to
accommodate the runway and approach
improvements. A relocation of the
runway edge lights, runway end
identifier lights (REILS), vertical
approach slope indicator (VASI) unit,

and a Medium Intensity Approach
Lighting System with Runway
Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR)
will be required. An access road for the
MALSR will be required for
maintenance activities.
Alternative 3 includes 15.5 acres of
wetland impact. The loss of wetlands
will be mitigated through the creation of
32.3 acres of wetlands onsite. An
additional clearing of 17.6 acres of
upland trees and 7.6 acres of wetland
trees in the Runway 31 approach to
provide adequate clearance of the
applicable airspace will be required.
Based on the analysis in the Final EA,
the FAA has determined that
Alternative 3 will not result in
significant impacts to resources
identified in accordance with FAA
Orders 1050.1F and 5054.4B. Therefore,
an environmental impact statement will
not be prepared.
(Long Island Expressway) Rest Area
Upgrade Project between Exits 51 & 52
(eastbound). The proposed project
evaluated alternatives for upgrading the
existing rest area for cars and trucks
located on I–495/LIE eastbound between
Exits 51 and 52.
Since the ROD was signed, NYSDOT
notified FHWA that Federal funds will
not be utilized during the final design
and construction of the project.
Therefore, FHWA has determined that
the ROD and the Final Environmental
Impact Statement dated May 21, 2007,
will be rescinded since there will be no
Federal action, and the requirements of
the National Environmental Policy Act
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq. and
23 Code of Federal Regulations 771 no
longer apply.
Comments and questions concerning
the proposed action should be directed
to FHWA at the address provided above.

September 1, 2016.
