9. What is the process by which the Environmental Assessment addresses comments - method, schedule, etc?

 

The Draft EA will be released for public review in the Spring of 2020, after it has been thoroughly reviewed by the FAA. It will be made available for public review for a period of at least 30 days.  Public meetings and a public hearing will also be conducted.

 

Comments can be provided in writing, via e-mail, and at the public hearing, where a stenographer will be present.  Substantive comments received throughout the process will be included in the project record and responses will be prepared as appropriate. If needed, the Draft EA and Final EA will be revised to address received comments. The comments and responses will be reviewed by the FAA. Note that no portions of the EA have been released to the public to date.
