existing ATCT would be 

decommissioned after the ATCT is 

operational. The increased square 

footage of the ATCT will provide the 

capability to meet future expansion 

requirements. The Base Building design 

will conform to the guidelines of the 

Terminal Facilities Design Standards for 

Base Building and Environmental 

Support Buildings with a modified slabon-grade 7,000 SF floor plan. A new 

link building will connect the two 

structures, and paved surface parking 

will be constructed next to the Base 

Building. A 10-foot security fence will 

be constructed around the complex. The 

project will incorporate energy 

conservation, recycled materials, and 

green technologies where practicable. In 

addition, the Runway 28 localizer 

antenna and shelter will be shifted 

slightly to maintain optimal operational 

characteristics. The existing antenna 

and shelter will be removed once the 

new equipment is operational. 

The new ATCT will accommodate 

current and future modernization of the 

NAS, improve visibility of airport 

surfaces, provide adequate space to 

improve operational and administrative 

efficiency, accommodate future air 

traffic growth and overall, and increase 

the efficient functionality of the facility. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Multiple snowstorms in the 

northeastern and mid-Atlantic United 

States beginning February 5, 2010, 

severely disrupted aviation and other 

modes of transportation. Substantial 

amounts of snow from these storms 

resulted in numerous airport closures. 

Airports’ capacity was also significantly 

reduced due to weather, snow removal 

operations, and aircraft deicing 

programs. Air carriers responded by 

cancelling flights and combining 

operations, and the FAA used traffic 

management programs as needed to 

manage traffic with available airspace 

and airport capacity. Carriers instituted 

network operational recovery plans 

during this time to position aircraft and 

crews needed to resume scheduled 

operations. 

The degree of disruption and 

cancellations varied by airport and by 

day, but DCA, JFK, LGA, and EWR all 

were affected by the storms. However, 

the flight disruptions were not limited 

to the slot-controlled airports. 

Operations at other airports in the 

Washington, DC, area and throughout 

the eastern United States were likewise 

impacted. Recovery of normal 

operations took several days after the 

initial storms and was exacerbated by 

subsequent adverse weather conditions. 

Operations at all airports appeared to 

return to normal by February 16. 

Under the FAA’s High Density Rule 

and orders limiting scheduled 

operations at the airports, slots must be 

used at least 80 percent of the time. 

Slots not meeting the minimum usage 

rules will be withdrawn or not receive 

historic precedence for the following 

scheduling season, depending on the
