SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Northwest Mountain Region of the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

as lead agency and the National Park 

Service (NPS) and Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) as a cooperating 

agencies have prepared a Draft 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement (Draft SEIS) and Section 4(f) 

Evaluation to address issues arising 

from the 1993 10th Circuit U.S. Court of 

Appeals Decision concerning the 

development of Cal Black Memorial 

Airport. The U.S. National Park Service 

(NPS) and Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) are cooperating agencies, by 

virtue of their jurisdictional authority 

and/or resource management 

responsibilities. This Draft SEIS and 

Section 4(f) Evaluation does not involve 

any new development or project at the 

airport. The Cal Black Memorial Airport 

opened in April 1992. 

Halls Crossing Airport was located 

within the boundary of the Glen Canyon 

National Recreation Area, a unit of the 

National Park Service (NPS). Due to 

safety issues with that airport, an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

was prepared concerning the 

development of a replacement airport. 

In 1990, the FAA issued a Draft and 

Final EIS for the development of a 

replacement Airport. In August 1990, 

the FAA issued a record of decision 

approving the development of Cal Black 

Memorial Airport. The FAA determined 

in the record of decision that the use of 

the BLM lands upon which the airport 

was built was reasonably necessary for 

the project. Accordingly, the BLM 

issued a Patent for the airport land to 

San Juan County on September 25, 

1990. In reaching its approval, the FAA 

determined that no significant impacts 

would result from the new airport to the 

recreational experience of visitors to the 

recreational area. 

In 1990, the National Parks and 

Conservation Association (NPCA), et al. 

brought suit against the FAA concerning 

the adequacy of the EIS and the 

adequacy of the BLM Plan Amendment 

and land transfer process. In its July 7, 

1993, decision, the U.S. Court of 

Appeals, 10th Circuit, remanded the EIS 

decision back to the FAA and BLM for 

further environmental analysis of 

aircraft noise impacts to the recreational 

use of public lands and the BLM’s plan 

amendment and transfer of land. 

On November 17, 2008 the BLM 

issued the Monticello Field Office 

Record of Decision and Approved 

Resource Management Plan. The 

document provides guidance for the 

management of Federal lands 

administered by the BLM in San Juan 

County and a small portion of Grant 

County in southeast Utah and includes 

provisions for the disposal of the Cal 

Black Memorial Airport property. 

Thus, the purpose of the Draft SEIS 

and Section 4(f) Evaluation is to address 

the requirements of the U.S. Court of 

Appeals findings. The scope of the Draft 

SEIS and Section 4(f) Evaluation 

includes: (1) The measurement of actual 

aircraft noise levels in GCNRA and 

visitor survey, (2) an updated evaluation 

of existing and future aircraft noise 

levels; (3) a Section 4(f) evaluation using 

the updated noise analysis; and (4) an 

analysis on potential cumulative effects. 

The FAA encourages all interested 

parties to provide comments concerning 

the scope and content of the Draft SEIS. 

Comments should be as specific as 

possible and address the analysis of 

potential environmental impacts and 

the adequacy of the proposed action. 

Reviewers should organize their 

participation so that it is meaningful 

and makes the agency aware of the 

viewer’s interests and concerns using 

quotations and other specific references 

to the text of the Draft SEIS and related 

documents. Matters that could have 

been raised with specificity during the 

comment period on the Draft SEIS may 

not be considered if they are raised for 

the first time later in the decision 

process. This commenting procedure is 

intended to ensure that substantive 

comments and concerns are made 

available to the FAA in a timely manner 

so that the FAA has the opportunity to 

address them. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, be advised that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold from public review your 

personal identifying information, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
