Kodiak Airport EIS Project Update
Hello!
For some time, the FAA has been preparing an environmental impact
statement considering impacts associated with runway safety area
improvements at Kodiak Airport. I think it is safe to say, at least on
behalf of the FAA and consultants, that we are more than ready for the
Draft EIS to be published for everyone to see. We aren’t quite
finished; but we are very close. Our environmental analyses are
undergoing review here in Anchorage and at FAA headquarters, and I think
those will be the last hurdles before starting the public review
portion of the work. My current goal is to publish a Draft EIS,
including an ANILCA Title XI application and preliminary analysis,
sometime this fall and most likely in October. We will provide 60 days
for everyone to
review the Draft EIS and
submit comments, and hold at least one public hearing for the Draft EIS
in Kodiak during the review period. We will also hold public hearings
concerning the ANILCA application in both Alaska and Washington, D.C.
I will keep you informed as we get closer to release of the Draft EIS.
In the meantime, let me know if you have questions, comments or
concerns. My phone number is 271-5453 or you can email
Leslie.Grey@faa.gov.
