BILLING CODE 4710–10–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Public Notice for Release of 

Aeronautical Property at Erie 

International Airport (ERI), Erie, PA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) DOT. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration is requesting public 

comment on the Erie Regional Airport 

Authority’s request to release airport 

property for use by the Pennsylvania 

Department of Transportation 

(PennDOT) to construct and maintain 

additional roadway and drainage 

facilities along the west side of Asbury 

Road. The request contains five (5) 

components consisting of a permanent 

release of land, release of land for 

drainage easement, release of land for 

temporary construction easement, 

release of land for substitute right-ofway, and release of land for permanent 

gas line easement. 

(1) Permanent Release of Land 

(PennDOT Right-of-Way)—0.72 Acres 

The parcel is located at Erie 

International Airport (ERI) in Millcreek 

Township, Erie County, PA. The 

property is currently depicted on the 

Airport Layout Plan of record as airport 

property and consists of a narrow strip 

of land varying from 22 feet to 48 feet 

in width and approximately 800 linear 

feet long consisting mostly of natural 

growth grass and vegetation bounded by 

Asbury Rd to the east. More specifically, 

the 0.72 acre parcel is located upon 

Parcel 4 and 5 of the airport property. 

The County Index Nos. are (33)039– 

147.00–001.00 and (33)039–148.00– 

001.00. The airport is requesting 

approval to sell this land to the 

PennDOT in a permanent right-of-way 

easement for roadway drainage 

improvements along the right-of-way 

boundary between Asbury Road and the 

airport property boundary. This area is 

not needed for aeronautical use and its 

use as PennDOT Right-of-Way does not 

limit or restrict the use of dedicated 

airport land for current or foreseeable 

aeronautical activities. Approval of this 

action will allow for the sale of the 0.72 

acre right-of-way easement to PennDOT. 

(2) Release of Land for Drainage 

Easement—0.014 Acres 

The easement is located at Erie 

International Airport (ERI) in Millcreek 

Township, Erie County, PA. The 0.014 

acre parcel is located on Parcel 1 and 5 

of the airport property, Erie County 

Index No. 039–147.00–001.00. The 

Airport Authority is requesting release 

of this land for purposes of providing a 

drainage easement for construction, 

inspection, maintenance, repair, 

reconstruction, and alteration of the 

highway drainage facilities for Asbury 

Road. The easement area is on Parcel 5 

and consists of undeveloped land with 

natural growth grass and vegetation. 

Asbury Road is being widened to 

accommodate additional anticipated 

traffic volume related to increased 

commercial development in and around 

the airport. This will result in an 

increase in impervious surface making it 

necessary to install new stormwater 

management facilities. As such, a 

drainage easement will be required for 

PennDOT to maintain stormwater 

facilities not located within the 

PennDOT Right-of-Way. The airport will 

be permitted to use this property, but 

will not be able to place any structures, 

create any adverse impacts to the flow 

of stormwater, or connect any pipes or 

drainage into the PennDOT system 

without written consent from PennDOT. 

This area is not needed for aeronautical 

use and its use as PennDOT easement 

does not limit or restrict the use of 

dedicated airport land for current or 

foreseeable aeronautical activities. 

Approval of this action will allow for 

the sale of the 0.014 acre drainage 

easement to PennDOT. 

(3) Release of Land for Temporary 

Construction Easement—0.078 Acres 

The easement is located at Erie 

International Airport (ERI) in Millcreek 

Township, Erie County, PA. The 0.078 

acre area is located on Parcels 1 and 5 

of the airport property, Erie County 

Index No. (33) 039–147.00–001.00. The 

Airport Authority is requesting release 

of this land for purposes of providing 

easement for construction activities 

outside the PennDOT Right-of-Way. 

This request for release of land from the 

Erie Regional Airport Authority is 

temporary and the land will revert back 

to the airport upon completion of the 

construction activities. The primary 

purpose of this temporary land release 

is to allow for the adjustment of the 

existing driveways on Parcel 1 of the 

airport to tie into Asbury Road. Parcel 

5 is also temporarily impacted while 

Stormwater Management facilities are 

being constructed. The impacted land, 

currently consisting of asphalt paved 

driveways in Parcel 1 and undeveloped 

grass and vegetation on Parcel 5, will be 

restored to similar condition upon 

completion of the construction work. 

This area is not needed for aeronautical 

use and its use as a temporary 

construction easement does not limit or 

restrict the use of dedicated airport land 

for current or foreseeable aeronautical 

activities. Approval of this action will 

allow for the granting of the temporary 

easement consisting of 0.078 acres to 

PennDOT. 

(4) Release of Land for Substitute Rightof-Way Utility Easement—0.198 Acres 

The easement is located at Erie 

International Airport (ERI) in Millcreek 

Township, Erie County, PA. The 0.198 

acre area is located along the west side 

of Asbury Road and is situated on Parcel 

5 of the airport property on County 

Index No. (33) 039–147.00–001.00. The 

property to be released is a strip of land 

of natural growth grass and vegetation 

approximately 20′ wide and running 

parallel along the west side of Asbury 

Road. The release will provide a 

replacement utility easement for 

Millcreek Township Water and Sewer 

Authority to construct, inspect, 

maintain, repair and reconstruct water 

line facilities along Asbury Road. The 

existing utility easement is located on 

airport property. Asbury Road is being 

widened by PennDOT to accommodate 

additional traffic volume related to 

increased commercial development in 

the vicinity of the airport. As part of the 

roadway project, a new water main will 

need to be constructed outside the 

limits of the pavement of the widened 

Asbury Road. This easement will 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
82348 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 251 / Friday, December 30, 2011 / Notices 

provide a substitute Right-of-Way 

Easement for locating the replacement 

water main. This area is not needed for 

aeronautical use and its use as a 

temporary construction easement does 

not limit or restrict the use of dedicated 

airport land for current or foreseeable 

aeronautical activities. Approval of this 

action will allow for the granting of the 

substitute water line easement 

consisting of 0.198 acres to the 

Millcreek Township Water and Sewer 

Authority for the replacement water 

main. 

(5) Release of Land for Replacement 

Gas Line Easement—Net Change 0.00 

Acres 

The existing and replacement 

easement are located at Erie 

International Airport (ERI) in Millcreek 

Township, Erie County, PA. The 

existing easement is located along the 

west side of Asbury Road and is situated 

on Parcels 4 and 5 of the airport 

property on County Index No. (33) 039– 

147.00–001.00. This replacement gas 

line easement will provide a 

replacement utility easement for 

National Fuel Gas (NGS) to construct, 

inspect, maintain, repair and 

reconstruct a gas line utility along 

Asbury Road. The existing utility 

easement is currently located on airport 

property. Asbury Road is being widened 

by PennDOT to accommodate additional 

traffic volume related to increased 

commercial development in the vicinity 

of the airport. As part of the roadway 

project, a new replacement gas line 

utility will need to be constructed 

outside the limits of the widened 

Asbury Road. This easement will 

provide a substitute Right-of-Way 

Easement for locating the replacement 

National Fuel Gas line. This easement 

area is not needed for aeronautical use 

and its use as a replacement utility 

easement does not limit or restrict the 

use of dedicated airport land for current 

or foreseeable aeronautical activities. 

Approval of this action will allow for 

the granting of of the substitute Gas Line 

easement to National Fuel Gas (NFG) for 

installing the relocated replacement gas 

line.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to release for sale or easement current 

airport property at the Erie International 

Airport at fair market value under the 

provisions of Section 47125(a) of Title 

49 U.S.C. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The Erie International Airport (ERI) 

has requested the sale of Right-of-Way 

and easements of airport property, along 

the airport’s western boundary with 

Asbury Rd. The Erie Regional Airport 

Authority (ERAA), as owner of the Erie 

International Airport (ERI), have been 

approached by the Pennsylvania 

Department of Transportation 

(PennDOT) with a request for Right-ofway, drainage, construction and utility 

easement acquisition to support a State 

roadway widening project of Asbury 

Road. As part of this roadway widening 

project, PennDOT is required to obtain 

additional Right-of-Way on the west 

side of Asbury Road to construct and 

maintain additional roadway and 

drainage facilities. Drainage easements 

will also be needed for the maintenance 

of the drainage facilities outside the 

PennDOT Right-of-Way. Temporary 

construction easements will be needed 

for the connection of existing driveways 

and drainage facilities to the new 

roadway construction. A substitute 

utility easement needs to be granted to 

The Millcreek Water and Sewer 

Authority for the relocation of the 

existing water main, which will need to 

be brought outside the widened Asbury 

Road. In addition, National Fuel Gas 

(NFG) is requesting a permanent 

easement to relocate and maintain a 

replacement gas line. The current NFG 

gas line is located on airport property 

within an existing easement. The 

proposed relocated line will be located 

on airport property with a similar 

replacement easement. 

Portions of this airport-owned land 

were acquired with the assistance of a 

Federal Aviation Agency Grant issued 

on June 7, 1962 for purchase of Parcels 

4 and 5 by the Erie Municipal Airport 

Authority. There are no known adverse 

impacts to the operation of the airport 

and the land is not needed for any 

foreseeable future aeronautical 

development as shown on the approved 

Erie International Airport Layout Plan 

(ALP). Any proceeds from the sale of the 

right of way and easements are to 

remain on the airport for capital 

development and to cover the operating 

costs of the Airport. 

Any person may inspect the request 

by appointment at the FAA office 

address listed above. Interested persons 

are invited to comment on the proposed 

change in use of the property. All 

comments will be considered by the 

FAA to the extent practicable. 

Issued in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, on 

December 1, 2011.
