On December 26, 2007, the FAA approved a FONSI/ROD for the construction of a new land based airport including a runway, a runway safety area, connecting taxiway, an apron, and a snow removal equipment and maintenance facility; an airport access road; two hovercraft landing pads; a hovercraft storage and maintenance facility; and acquisition of a hovercraft The Supplemental FONSI/ROD provides the final agency determinations and approvals for Federal actions by the FAA related to the selection of alternatives to meet the purpose and need for the action. The Supplemental FONSI/ROD also includes required mitigation measures and conditions of approval. The Supplemental FONSI/ROD indicates that the selected actions are consistent with existing environmental policies and objectives set forth in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, as well as other federal and state statutes, and that the actions will not significantly affect the quality of the environment. 

The FAA's decision is based upon information contained in the Supplemental EA, issued in March 3, 2011, and on all other applicable documents available to the agency and considered by it, which constitutes the administrative record. 

The FAA's determinations are discussed in the Supplemental FONSI/ROD, which was approved on March 7, 2011.
