Environmental Scoping Meetings for

Runway Extension, Air Cargo Area,

and Related Development at New

Bedford Municipal Airport, New

Bedford, MA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of public environmental

scoping meetings.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) is issuing notice

to advise the public that an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

will be prepared for a proposal by the

City of New Bedford to extend the

primary runway and runway safety area,

develop an air cargo area and adjacent

taxiway, and related development at

New Bedford Municipal Airport. To

ensure that all significant issues related

to the proposed action are identified,

public scoping meetings will be held.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

John Silva, Manager, Environmental

Programs, Airports Division, New

England Region, Federal Aviation

Administration, 12 New England

Executive Park, Burlington,

Massachusetts 01803. Telephone

number: 617–238–7602.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City

of New Bedford is conducting an

Airport Master Plan to determine future

development needs. This Plan has

progressed to the point of determining

the need to accommodate future air

cargo activity. Due primarily to the

potential for significant adverse

wetlands impacts and associated water

quality issues, FAA has decided to

prepare an Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS).

FAA has conducted several meetings

toward developing a Draft Scope of

Work for the EIS. Since the EIS will be

prepared as a joint Environmental

Impact Report (EIR) under the

Massachusetts Environmental Policy

Act, additional meetings have been held

to address EIR requirements. Comments

and suggestions are presently invited

from federal, state, and local agencies,

and other interested parties, in order to

ensure that a full range of issues related

to the proposed projects are identified

and addressed in a final Scope of Work

for the EIS. A copy of the Draft Scope

of Work may be obtained from FAA at

the above address or telephone number.

Comments and suggestions should be

addressed to FAA at the above address

and mailed not later than July 19.

PUBLIC SCOPING MEETINGS: In order to

provide public input, a scoping meeting

for federal, state, local, and nongovernmental agencies will be held on

Tuesday, July 9, 1996, at 1:30 pm at the

maintenance building adjacent to the

terminal building at New Bedford

Municipal Airport, 1569 Airport Road,

New Bedford, Massachusetts. An

additional meeting to receive public

input will be held on July 9 at 7:00 pm

at the same location. These meetings

will be preceded by a field tour of the

EIS project area at 10:00 am on the same

day, for individuals who have not yet

done so. The tour will commence from

the entrance to the terminal building.

Federal, state, local, and nongovernmental agency representatives are

encouraged to attend both scoping

meetings. Additional information may

be obtained by contacting FAA at the

above address or telephone number.

Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on

May 31, 1996.
