Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment for
the Jackson Hole Airport Master Plan
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Jackson Hole Airport Board has prepared a Draft
Environmental Assessment (EA) for its proposed Master Plan
improvements. Jackson Hole Airport is located within Grand Teton
National Park in Wyoming. The need for the project arose due to safety
concerns as a result of recent incidents of aircraft overrunning the
runway, as well as concerns over the degree of congestion which occurs
in the terminal building during peak travel periods. The EA addresses
the potential environmental effects of a Preferred Alternative and
numerous other options. The Preferred Project includes construction of
stopways at each runway end, shifting the runway to the north to meet
current FAA safety area requirements, retention of the current 6300-
foot runway length, expansion of the terminal by 10,000 square feet,
improved navigational aids, and the addition of a control tower and
radar. All improvements for the Preferred Alternative are within the
leased boundary of the Airport. Other alternatives examined in the EA
included No Action, navigational aids, runway extensions of various
lengths, 1,000 foot stopways, soft material arresting systems, and a
30,000 square foot terminal expansion.
DATES: Written comments addressing the adequacy of the Draft EA will be
received through December 13, 1995. Comments should be sent to Mr.
George Larson, Airport Director, Jackson Hole Airport, P.O. Box 159,
Jackson, WY 83001. Oral and written comments may also be made in person
at a public hearing in Jackson, Wyoming scheduled for the afternoon and
evening of November 20, 1995. Please call (307) 733-7695 for details on
the time and place of this meeting.
ADDRESSES: The Draft EA became available for public review on September
29, 1995. Copies are available for review at Jackson Hole
