DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Environmental Assessment and Public 

Information Workshop for the 

Proposed ORD Airport Surveillance 

Radar, Model 9, West Chicago, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Environmental Assessment and Public 

Information Workshop for the Proposed 

ORD Airport Surveillance Radar, Model 

9, West Chicago, Illinois. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to fund, 

construct, and operate an Airport 

Surveillance Radar, Model 9 (ASR–9) to 

serve the western airspace of O’Hare 

International Airport (ORD), Chicago, 

IL. The FAA’s preferred alternative is to 

install the ASR–9 at a site near the 

corner of Kress and Western Roads on 

the southeast side of DuPage Airport, in 

western DuPage County. The purpose 

and need of the ASR–9 is to enhance air 

traffic management for ORD to achieve 

the benefits of providing expanded 

radar coverage that would allow 

terminal air traffic control for additional 

new approach routes, as evaluated and 

approved in the O’Hare Modernization 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Record of Decision. 

The FAA has prepared a Draft 

Environmental Assessment (EA) 

document in conformance with 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures. The 

Draft EA analyzes the potential 

environmental effects that may result 

from the construction and operation of 

the ASR–9. The impacts of the radar are 

evaluated at the proposed Kress and 

Western site and alternative sites, 

including the no action alternative (i.e., 

not installing the ASR–9). A copy of the 

Draft EA is available for public review 

at the following locations: 

West Chicago Public Library, 118 West 

Washington St., West Chicago, IL; 

St. Charles Public Library, 1 South Sixth 

Ave., St. Charles, IL; 

Geneva Public Library, 127 James St., 

Geneva, IL; 

DuPage Airport, 2700 International 

Drive, West Chicago, IL. 

The FAA will host a Public Information 

Meeting on Thursday, March 11, 2010 

from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at: Hilton Garden 

Inn St. Charles, 4070 East Main Street, 

Saint Charles, IL. The public is invited 

to attend the meeting. 

ADDRESSES: The FAA will accept 

written comments on the Draft EA until 

close of business on March 26, 2010. 

Comments on the Draft EA will be 

accepted at the meeting or may be sent
