For more information on this project, go to the Kodiak Airport EIS site.
Hello, Last week we held meetings in Kodiak and Anchorage to present and explain the alternatives FAA will include in the Draft EIS. Thanks so much to many of you for attending. As usual, a lot of important issues were discussed and good questions asked. Before the end of the year I’ll send another update with information responding to some of those questions. In the meantime, I wanted to quickly respond to a couple of your needs. For those of you who like to keep track of interagency participation or want to follow up with others who attended, attached are the sign-in sheets from both meetings. I’ve also had the powerpoint presentation from these meetings posted on our project website at www.kodiakairporteis.com under the “documents” link on the left of the homepage. The presentation is the first document, titled “Project Alternatives Presentation – November 2011.” Those of you who attended in Kodiak may notice that we added two slides for the Anchorage meeting. These figures are helpful in comparing the features and disturbance areas of each alternative for Runway 07/25 (page 29 of the presentation) and Runway 18/36 (page 37). Again, thank you for continuing to stay involved in this project. Please don’t hesitate to call (271-5453) or write (Leslie.Grey@faa.gov) if you have questions, comments or concerns.

EMAIL TO STACY STUDEBAKER 10 NOVEMBER 2011:
Hello Stacy,
First of all, thank you for coming to the meeting last week, I appreciate
your interest and attendance. Regarding your request, as promised, we are
making last week's presentation available to all. We just posted the
meeting presentation which includes graphics of the alternatives as well as
the other information we discussed up on the project web site. You can
find it at www.kodiakairporteis.com under the documents link located on the
left side of the homepage. Shortly I'll be sending out a message to the
entire contact list to make sure everyone is aware of where they can get
the presentation.
Regarding the botany work completed recently, right now we are in the
process of compiling the data and documenting the results. I will make
arrangements for distribution of the findings either concurrent with the
Draft EIS or perhaps before hand, depending upon how quickly we can get all
of our review completed. I'll provide you with an update on this as soon
as I have a clearer picture of the timing. In the meantime, don't hesitate
at all to call or email me with any further questions. Leslie
