DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (Final 

EIS) for the Replacement of Runway 

10R/28L, Development of a New 

Passenger Terminal, and Other 

Associated Airport Projects at Port 

Columbus International Airport (CMH) 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability and notice 

of 30-day public comment period. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this 

Notice of Availability to advise the 

public that a Final EIS will be available 

for public review beginning March 20, 

2009. The document was prepared 

pursuant to major environmental 

directives to comply with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (Pub. L. 91– 

190); Section 106 consultation for 

impacts to historic structures, as 

identified in 36 CFR Section 800.8, 

Coordination with the National 

Environmental Policy Act; U.S. 

Department of Transportation Section 

303(c), formerly referred to as Section 

4(f); and other applicable Federal and 

State environmental laws, regulations, 

and Executive Orders. 

The Final EIS was prepared in 

response to a proposal presented to the 

FAA by the Columbus Regional Airport 

Authority (CRAA), the owner and 

operator of CMH and identified in the 

Final EIS as the Airport Sponsor, for 

environmental review. 

The FAA prepared this Final EIS to 

analyze and disclose potential 

environmental impacts related to 

possible future Federal Actions at CMH. 

Numerous Federal actions would be 

necessary if airfield development were 

to be implemented. Proposed 

improvements include replacement of 

Runway 10R/28L, development of a new 

passenger terminal, and other airfield 

projects (see below). 

The Final EIS presents the purpose 

and need for the proposed Federal 

action, analysis of reasonable 

alternatives, including the No Action 

Alternative, discussion of impacts for 

each reasonable alternative, the 

selection of the FAA’s preferred 

alternative, proposed mitigation, and 

supporting appendices. The FAA will 

consider all information contained in 

the Final EIS and additional information 

that may be provided during the public 

comment period before issuing the 

Agency’s Final Decision. 

The Airport Sponsor proposes to 

replace existing Runway 10R/28L at 

CMH, approximately 700 feet south of 

the existing Runway 10R/28L; to 

develop new terminal facilities in the 

midfield area; to provide ancillary 

facilities in support of the replacement 

runway and midfield terminal; and to 

implement noise abatement air traffic 

procedures developed for the 

replacement runway. 

The replacement runway would be 

10,113 feet long. This length would 

maintain CMH’s ability to accommodate 

current and projected airport operations. 

Existing Runway 10R/28L would be 

decommissioned as a runway and 

converted to a taxiway upon 

commissioning of the replacement 

runway. In addition, a south taxiway 

and north parallel taxiway to proposed 

Runway 10R/28L would be constructed. 

To meet future aircraft parking and 

passenger processing requirements, new 

midfield terminal facilities are needed. 

The Final EIS assesses a development 

envelope that is defined as an area large 

enough to encompass Phase I and II of 

the CRAA terminal development 

program. The Final EIS discusses the 

number of gates, approximate square 

footage, approximate curb frontage, and 

the number of passengers that the 

terminal would accommodate. 

Ancillary facilities in support of the 

replacement runway and midfield 

terminal would be constructed. The 

facilities include roadway relocations 

and construction; parking 

improvements; property acquisition; 

and relocation of residences, as 

necessary. The CRAA prepared a 14 

CFR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study 

Update (Part 150 Update) to address the 

current and future noise conditions. The 

Part 150 Update includes an analysis of 

the potential noise and land use impacts 

resulting from the proposed 

development of relocating Runway 10R/ 

28L to the south, as well as possible 

mitigation options. The noise abatement 

air traffic options recommended through 

the Part 150 Update are included in the 

Final EIS as part of the proposed 

project. In addition, land use mitigation 

CRAA recommended in the Part 150 

Update is included in the Final EIS as 

mitigation for the impacts resulting from 

the proposed project. The FAA issued 

its Record of Availability on May 19, 

2008 and its approval of the Noise 

Compatibility Program on May 19, 2008 

[FR Doc. E8–12591 Filed 6–6–08: 8:45 

am]. 

Public Comment: The public 

comment period on the Final EIS starts 

on March 20, 2009 and closes on April 

20, 2009.
