Can’t I just get the EA over first?

  • Planning and environmental tasks

are related and similar (See Chapter 5 in in FAA Order 5050.4B.

  • It is important for planners and

environmental specialists to begin collaboration earlier than has been the case in the past.

Why Consider Environmental Factors During Planning?

  • Helps airport sponsors make informed

decisions.

  • To avoid a previously unforeseen problem.
  • Environmental issues may cause you to

adjust your proposed project.

  • Ensures efficient, timely, and effective

NEPA review.

Project Development & NEPA Process

  • Pre-NEPA activities: Planning studies (e.g. master plan,

feasibility), $, Fed action?

  • To determine the level of NEPA review, FAA needs sufficient

project information/data Engineering Design and NEPA

  • Sufficient design to support NEPA activities (Preliminary

engineering ~ 25% design limitation)

  • Final design activities, property acquisition… project

construction shall not proceed until CATEX, FONSI, or ROD have been issued (40 CFR 1506.1).

Proper planning includes FAA review/approval of:

  • Aviation Activity Forecast and Critical Aircraft
  • Obstruction Mitigation Plans
  • Site selection studies
  • Review the adequacy of the planning

alternative analysis

  • ALP set and associated airspace case study
  • Planning study and associated capital

improvement program

Planning and NEPA Purpose and Need

  • “Purpose & Need” = what is the problem

and how do we fix it

  • Airport planning study provides the

justification and basis of a proposed action

– Consideration of environmental factors as a task

  • Airport planning process
  • Related baseline environmental consideration

slide-11

Define the Proposed Action / Project Description

  • Clearly describe the details of the proposed

project: what are you building, repairing, etc.; what are connected actions; what equipment is needed; where is the staging area; what is the timeline

  • Maps/drawings/photos to show the project

footprint and surroundings are important

slide-12

Planning Environmental Baseline

– Preliminary identification of potential, or known, environmental features

  • Air quality impacts
  • Noise impacts
  • Wetlands
  • Flood Zones
  • Historic or Cultural features
  • DOT Section 4(f) features
  • Biological Resources
  • Water resources
  • Compatible land use
  • Surface traffic issues

– Not part of NEPA

  • Purpose and Need
  • Project Description
  • Alternatives
  • Federal Resources
  • Compliance with Special Purpose Laws

Common Trouble Spots

  • Cumulative Effects
  • Responses to Public Comments
  • Response to Resource Agency Concerns
  • Accounting for New Information
  • Insufficient Administrative Record
  • Relying on FAA to edit the document

both planning and federal environmental documentation

Corporate Approach

AWP is always striving to invest AIP funds most strategically and efficiently We don’t lack important, good projects in AWP! AWP looked at best practices across the Country Our funds are limited: $459 M. Average grant: $2.4 M

AWP AIP Program

slide-19
SLIDE 19

19 Federal Aviation Administration ACA September 2018

How AWP worked before.

Entitlement is predetermined by each airport site, and is attached to that site, unless sponsors transfer. State Apportionment is by state, of course.* Each Airports District Office works from prescribed ceilings for Discretionary funds. *Except for California which has So and No. ceilings. Some Pacific sites have no apportionment funds.

How the AIP Board works now.

Board will determine AIP Projects receiving Discretionary Funding and will review some CA State Apportionment, in the prior year. (Now we’re looking at FY2019) Board will both ‘prioritize’ and ‘sequence’ AIP discretionary grants. (more on this later) Will review near and mid-term ACIP to predict big-ticket items and discuss discretionary candidates in advance.

AWP AIP Program

slide-22
SLIDE 22

22 Federal Aviation Administration ACA September 2018

How the Board will work, over time.

Board will review ACIP formulation to predict big-ticket items further and further into the future. Board will examine trends in spending, including grant performance, and ACIP work codes to aid in guidance and focus in the future. Board will review success of past grants and grant

  • performance. (Learning Lessons and Incorporating)

What does this mean for sponsors?

To be in the best position, be early, ready and certain. High Priority and First Sequence. Only delay bids or hold open alternative bid options at the counsel of the ADO, barring unusual circumstances. Keep to our deadlines and calendar with which you are all so familiar.

FAA Regional and National Priorities will impact decisions.

Runway Incursion Mitigation Program (RIM) Pavement Management and Preservation.

Your past grant performance will likely impact your ADO Manager’s ability to argue for Discretionary Funding.

Runway Incursion Mitigation Program (RIM)

  • Inventory based on National Runway Safety

Report and the FAA Aviation Safety Analysis Information Sharing System Website http://www.asias.faa.gov/pls/apex/f?p=100:1:0::N O

  • FAA staff tracks RIM locations and works with

sponsors to include needed studies and potential projects for mitigation in their ACIP programs if appropriate

slide-26

Runway Incursion Mitigation Program (RIM)

  • Inventory of incursion locations
  • National prioritized plan for study and mitigation
  • Aim is improved safety
  • AIP funding may be used for study and for correction of

geometry

  • For More Explanation, Watch the RIM Program video:

Pavement Project Justification

  • For all paving and pavement maintenance projects:

– The sponsor has satisfactorily complied with assurances on pavement maintenance. – The length and width of the pavement work must be based on critical aircraft justification per Paragraph 3-11.

  • For Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Projects:

– The work must be supported (by) a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) or planning study.

  • The pavement must not have been reconstructed within the last 20

years, rehabilitated within the last 10 years or resealed within the last 3 years without further justification acceptable to the ADO.

slide-28
SLIDE 28

28 Federal Aviation Administration ACA September 2018

  • Supplemental $1 billion funding – what it is, and what it is not:

– It’s all discretionary funding – Projects must be AIP eligible. – For non-primary airports, it’s 100% funding (no local match); primary airport projects are funded at the regular AIP percentage. – Statutory direction to give “Priority Consideration” to smaller and rural airports. All NPIAS airports can compete for future distributions of supplemental funding. – Funding doesn’t expire at the end of FY-2018—FAA has until the end of FY-2020 to expend the $1B. – ADO Advice: Sell your project; Be very clear, concise and thorough in your justifications!
