DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement for

Atlantic City International Airport, NJ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare and

consider an environmental impact

statement and to conduct agency and

public scoping meetings.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

will be prepared and considered for

proposed improvements at Atlantic City

International Airport, New Jersey. In

addition, to ensure that all major

project-related issues are identified,

agency scoping and public scoping

meetings will be held. The New Jersey

Pinelands Commission will be a

cooperating agency on the EIS.

Scoping meetings will be held to

determine the scope of the EIS and to

identify the major project-related issues

to be addressed and emphasized in the

EIS. The FAA hereby invites the

participation of Federal, State and local

agencies, any affected Indian tribe, the

proponent of the action, and any other

interested parties.

Two scoping meetings are planned:

The first is an agency scoping meeting

intended for organizations having

jurisdiction by law or specific expertise

with respect to any environmental

impacts associated with the action; the

second is a public meeting intended for

other interested parties (including those

who may not be in accord with the

action on environmental grounds).

However, both are open to the public.

The FAA further invites agencies,

organizations, and the general public to

provide written comments relative to

the action and the issues to be

addressed in the EIS. Scoping comments

should clearly describe specific issues

or topics that the commentator believes

the EIS should address.

DATES: The scoping meetings are

scheduled for Wednesday November

1st, 2000. The agency scoping meeting

is scheduled for 2 p.m. and the public

scoping meeting is scheduled for 6:30

p.m. The meetings will be held at the

Egg Harbor Township Municipal

Building Court Room, 3515 Bargantown

Road, Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey

08234. Written comments will be

accepted through November 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and

requests to be included on a mailing list

of persons interested in the EIS should

be send to Daisy Mather, Federal

Aviation Administration Eastern

Region, Airports Division, AEA–610, 1

Aviation Plaza, Jamaica, New York

11434.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The South

Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA)

has completed a master plan update and

an environmental assessment (EA) for

the proposed future development

projects at Atlantic City International

Airport. Because the potential for

significant environmental impacts was

determined during the EA process, the

EA was not approved and the FAA

determined that preparation of an EIS

was necessary.

The proposed airport development

actions involve numerous airside and

landside improvements to be developed

over several years, such that some

projects will be implemented upon

completion of the EIS, while others will

be implemented as demand necessitates.

Major airside projects identified for

analysis include, but are not limited to,

the following: Runway and taxiway

extension, taxiway relocation, highspeed taxiway exits, runway and

taxiway pavement rehabilitation,

airfield lighting electrical

improvements, a deicing facility, and a

Category II Instrument Landing System

(CAT II ILS).

Major landside projects identified for

analysis include, but are not limited to,

the following: Passenger terminal and

terminal apron expansion, a multi-level

parking garage, surface parking

improvements, a new access roadway, a

rent-a-car service center, a hotel/

conference facility, general aviation

hangars with apron, a snow-removal

equipment storage building, and an

aircraft cargo/maintenance complex.

The airport is located in the Pinelands

National Reserve, an internationally

important ecological region that is 1.1

million acres in size and occupies 22

percent of New Jersey’s land area. The

environmental issues of concern for

evaluation in the EIS are anticipated to

be very similar to those evaluated in the

EA process, including water quality,

threatened and endangered species,

biotic communities, wetlands, air

quality, secondary impacts and

cumulative impacts. Other issues that

will be addressed in the EIS include

potential impacts to flood plains, noise,

cultural resources, utilities, hazardous

materials, and environmental justice.

With regard to project alternatives, the

EIS will include an analysis of a variety

of alternatives considered during project

planning. In addition to the proposed

action and the no action alternatives,

the analysis will include individual

project site locations, mitigation

alternatives, and other alternatives that

may arise from the scoping process.

New York.
