SUMMARY: The Eastern Region of the FAA announces:
The FAA, acting as ``Lead Agency,'' has prepared a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)--for a proposal by the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey, acting as ``Sponsor,'' to develop
the Newark International Airport (EWR) Monrail--Northeast Corridor
Connection Project (Newark Airport Monorail-NEC Connection Project).
The DEIS has been prepared to evaluate environmental impacts
associated with the project. Three alternatives are analyzed in the
DEIS: a ``No Build'' alternative; a Transportation Systems Management
option; and a Build alternative, which is the extension of the monorail
system (currently under construction at the airport) to the northeast
rail corridor, along with construction of a new rail station. Three
monorail alignments are under consideration for the extension; their
associated environmental impacts are analyzed in the DEIS.
A Public Hearing has been scheduled to discuss the project
alternatives, present the three alignments under consideration, and
receive comments on the DEIS:
