SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

EA evaluated the construction and 

operation of a new ATCT and Base 

Building at CMI. The ATCT will be 

located approximately 660 feet east of 

the existing ATCT facility on vacant 

land located on airport property. The 

ATCT facility will occupy 

approximately 5.5 acres, and is 744 feet 

above mean sea level. The ATCT would 

be accessed via a realigned airport 

access road and is located in the eastcentral portion of the airport, 

approximately 2,150 feet east of the 

Runway 14L–32R and Runway 4–22 

intersection. The new ATCT will be a 

Low Activity Level facility with a 440 

square foot cab and will be at an overall 

height of 130 feet above ground level. 

The new ATCT will enhance 

controllers’ visibility from the tower cab 

and will provide sufficient space to 

improve operational efficiency. The 

Base Building will be of sufficient size 

for administrative space requirements 

and will be able to accommodate stateof-the-art equipment upgrades. The 

project also includes, and the Final EA 

evaluated, construction of a paved 

parking area next to the Base Building; 

site work, including realignment of an 

airport access road, grading, drainage, 

utilities, and fencing; replacement of the 

8 element V–Ring antenna on the 

Runway 32R instrument landing system 

with a 14-element LPD antenna array 

and relocate 55 feet to the northwest; 

Dopplerization of the Very High 

Frequency Omnidirectional Range with 

Tactical Air Navigation facility; 

unconditional approval of the revised 

Airport Layout Plan; and Federal 

funding of the project. 

The Final EA has been prepared in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, and FAA Order 

1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures.’’ In addition, 

FAA Order 5050.4B, ‘‘National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

Implementing Instructions for Airport 

Actions’’ has been used as guidance in 

the preparation of the environmental 

analysis.
