Additional 45 Day Comment Period for Airport Projects (June 3, 2018) The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced an additional 45 day public comment period on Charlotte Douglas Airport's plans for several construction projects, including a fourth parallel runway and the relocation of West Boulevard to the south as well as FAA plans to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) regarding those projects. Comments may be directed to the following address by July 9, 2018:
Mr. Tommy L. Dupree Comments can also be sent by email to 9-ASO-CLTEIS@faa.gov. The previous notice announcing a public comment period contained an incorrect email address. The FAA requests that all submissions to the previous incorrect email address be resubmitted to the new address. For more information on the planed project, see Airport Expansion Projects Include Fourth Parallel Runway and West Boulevard Relocation and the FAA web site at www.CLTEIS.com. The text of the notice is as follows: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published on March 22, 2018, a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential impacts of proposed capacity enhancements and other improvements at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). The original comment period ended May 7, 2018. However, due to an incorrect project email address for receipt of comments, the FAA has published and opened an additional 45 day public comment period. The additional 45-day period began May 25, 2018 and will end July 9, 2018. The CLT EIS will evaluate the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts that may result from the Proposed Project, including related activities and actions considered connected to the Proposed Project. The FAA expects to complete the EIS in 2020. The Proposed Project is made up of four primary Project Elements from the Charlotte Douglas International Airport Improvement Program (proposed for construction by 2028):
Fourth Parallel Runway 1-19 and End Around
Taxiways
Construction of the new
runway along with terminal and ramp expansion projects would require
the decommissioning of Runway 5-23 and relocation of West Boulevard.
Public and agency scoping meetings were held April 23rd, 24th, and
26th 2018. For more details and information, please reference
scoping materials provided with March 23, 2018 correspondence or the
project website www.CLTEIS.com.
Mr. Tommy L. Dupree Comments may also be submitted through the project email address at 9-ASO-CLTEIS@faa.gov.
