July 28, 2005 Regulatory Division Action ID. 199831056 Mr. J. T. Orr, Airport Manager Charlotte Douglas International Airport Post Office Box 19066 Charlotte, North Carolina 28219 Dear Mr. Orr: R-7 F % o? C a?9% ? zoa? AEG 1 - BE p,ND SjpR4r?A ERBRf?CH WESTDS Reference is made to the Public Notice dated July 31, 2003 in which we described the extension of a runway, the construction of an additional runway and the relocation of Wallace Neal Road to the east side of I-485, at the Charlotte International Airport, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Adverse impacts to waters of the US associated with the original project were 45,801 if of streams, 3.78 acres of wetlands, and 8.59 acres of open water. Reference is also made to our letter dated March 7, 2005 in which we elected to retire your application due to the significant changes that were made to the original project as well concerns over what was described in the Federal Aviation Administration Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) versus what was contained in the permit application, primarily with regard to the potential relocation of Wallace Neal Road to the west side of I-485 as well as other construction projects that were either not mentioned in the EIS or were inadequately described in this document. As the Corps of Engineers is a cooperating agency in the development of the EIS, it is incumbent upon lead Federal Agency, in this case the FAA, to address our concerns relative to the requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). This would include a description of the actions under consideration, an analysis of alternatives to the proposed actions, and a description of the adverse and beneficial impacts associated with each. Provided these issues are adequately addressed, we may adopt the EIS as our decision document. On July 15, 2005 Mr. David Baker of the Asheville Regulatory Field Office met with Messrs. John Hennessey and Jack Christine to discuss changes to the proposed airport improvements, including the relocation of Wallace Neal Road to the west side of I-485, compensatory mitigation, and the permit application process relative to the EIS. These issues are more fully addressed below: Compensatory mitigation will be required for all unavoidable impacts associated with this project including impacts to "unimportant" stream channels. According to Mr. Hennessey, you wish to utilize the Charlotte Mitigation Bank to provide such mitigation. While this may be acceptable, final approval of the type and amount of required mitigation can only be made after opportunity for public comment, agency review of the proposed project, and our analysis for compliance with the 404 (b) (1) Guidelines. We can, however, provide you with an estimate of the amount of mitigation required for your project once the magnitude of the impacts are known. Use of mitigation credit from this bank is subject to the terms and conditions of the Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). Of particular importance is the requirement that the Bank have mitigation credits available; advance sale of credits at the bank is not allowed. In the event that such credits were not available, we would have no choice but to deny your request to utilize the Bank. It has been our experience that the development of a mitigation plan can be a lengthy process. The Wilmington District will not issue a permit until a final compensatory mitigation plan has been approved (Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 02-2, December 24, 2002). It is our understanding that the FAA is preparing a supplement to the EIS in which alternatives to the relocation of Wallace Neal Road relative to the construction of a new runway will be described. Furthermore, it is your intention to revise your permit application such that only the proposed runway extension would be permitted initially, and that a later request for DA authorization to construct the new runway and relocate Wallace Neal Road will be made sometime after draft supplement to the EIS is released for comment. This may be acceptable provided the FAA concurs that the runway extension is a separate and complete project with independent utility, that the runway extension does not preclude alternatives for future activities, including the proposed new runway and the relocation of Wallace Neal Road, and that the extended runway serves a logical or major function at the airport, whether or not other improvements are made. We understand that you wish to apply for DA authorization to construct the new runway and relocate Wallace Neal Road at the time the draft supplemental EIS is released for comment. You may wish to reconsider the timing of your application. We will not accept an application without final design plans for the proposed runway and road relocation. You may wish to defer making those final designs until after the draft supplemental EIS has been completed and has been through the public review and comment process. Once our review of the document and comments has been completed, we can concur, in general, with the selection of a preferred alternative. While this does not constitute a final permit decision on our part, nor a final decision on the preferred alternative should new information arise, it does allow you to proceed with design of the project with some assurance that we would not reconsider alternatives that were already analyzed in the EIS in our permit review. Questions or comments regarding this correspondence may be directed to Mr. David Baker, Asheville Regulatory Field Office, telephone (828) 271-7980 extension 225.

QUA""' This letter is in reference to the application by the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, described in the above referenced Public Notice (PN) dated September 26, 2005. The application is for an expansion of the airport's current facilities in Mecklenberg County, North Carolina and includes the following activities: construction of a 2000 foot runway extension for runway 18R/36L and relocations of West Boulevard and a portion of Old Dowd Road. To accomplish these activities the applicant proposes to impact 5,450 linear feet of perennial/inter- mittent and important streams, 0.176 acres of open waters/ponds and 0.652 acres of wetlands. The PN does not discuss mitigation plans but the permit application package states the applicant proposes to either purchase mitigation credits from the Mecklenberg County/City of Charlotte Mitigation Bank or provide other off-site mitigation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 4, has reviewed the project information contained in the PN and the application package and offers the following comments. It is not clear from reading the application information why the Old Dowd Road relocation is part of this application. The application states the activities proposed for this permit are "... essential and independent of future expansion considerations." From reviewing the proposed project plans it is not apparent as to why this road would need to be relocated to construct the extension of runway 18R/36L. If this is not needed for the proposed runway extension, EPA recommends it be deleted from this project proposal. It appears from reviewing the project plans that a portion of the project to provide stormwater treatment will impact jurisdictional waters of the United States. EPA generally does not support "on-line" stormwater systems which use jurisdictional streams and wetlands as treatment systems. In general, the Clean Water Act prohibits the designated use of creeks, -? ? 7 ti f 2 streams, lakes or wetlands from being used as treatment systems except in the most extreme situations. The construction of in-stream treatment systems generally requires a Section 404 permit for the discharge of dredged or fill material to construct control structures in waters of the U.S. and would require an alternatives analysis to demonstrate there is no less environmentally damaging practicable upland alternative than the in-stream system to accomplish the project purpose. If the alternatives analysis shows there is no less damaging practicable alternative, then the use of these waters for stormwater treatment would require mitigation. Since there is no discussion of this in the permit application, we assume the applicant has not provided alternatives analysis information on the proposed in-stream treatment portion of the project and we also assume the impacts from this were not included in the impact numbers. EPA also has several concerns with the project mitigation plan. The applicant proposes to either use the Charlotte/Mecklenberg Mitigation Bank or another offsite mitigation location to be determined at a later date. We agree with the discussion of the use of the Charlotte Mitigation Bank in the U.S. Corps of Engineers' (Corps) July 28, 2005, letter to the applicant. As the Wilmington District stated in the above referenced letter, use of this bank would be contingent on the bank having the appropriate mitigation credits available and agree to transfer these bank credits to the applicant. Has the applicant received any such assurance from the Charlotte Bank? For this to be accepted as the mitigation option, we recommend information be provided by the bank to the reviewing agencies so the determination can be made as to whether these credits will provide appropriate mitigation for the project impacts and if so; we recommend there be a contractual agreement in place between the Charlotte Bank and the applicant before the permit is issued. As you also stated in the above referenced letter, "The Wilmington District will not issue a permit until a final compensatory mitigation plan has been approved." The Corps letter references Regulatory Guidance Letter 02-2. We agree with this and would also like to note the North Carolina Stream Mitigation Guidelines also states, "prior to a permit being issued, a final mitigation plan should be approved and the site secured". EPA is also aware that stream determinations were done in 2000 and 2001 as to whether the streams were intermittent/perennial and important/unimportant using both the Wilmington District's Intermittent Channel Evaluation Form and North Carolina Division of Water Quality's (NCDWQ) Stream Classification Form. We are not aware, however, if any analyses have been done to determine if these stream have been rated as poor, good or excellent. As you know, the Stream Mitigation Guidelines uses these designations to determine the amount of stream mitigation needed to compensate for impacts with poor requiring 1:1 and good 2:1. We recommend this information be used in determining the amount of stream mitigation that will be used to compensate for the project impacts. We also agree with the discussion of intermittent, unimportant streams in your July 28, 2005, letter in which you stated that "compensatory mitigation will be required for all unavoidable impacts associated with the project including impacts to "unimportant stream channels". The applicant also states they do not propose mitigation for the 0.662 acres of proposed impact to wetlands because impacts under an acre are not required by the NCDWQ Section 401 certification rules. Since this acreage threshold refers to NCDWQ rules and not to federal mitigation requirements, EPA recommends there also be compensation for the wetland impacts to be consistent with federal requirements. EPA appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project. We believe the proposed project is not approvable at this time and should be held in abeyance until the applicant addresses the issues discussed herein. Please provide this office with any additional project information or the applicant's responses to these comments. If you have any questions or would like to further discuss these comments, please contact Becky Fox at (828) 497-3531 or fox.rebecca@ epa.gov.

You have the option of using the Express Review Program for expedited approval of these plans. If you propose to use the Express Review Program, remember to include the appropriate fee with the plan. The stormwater management plan must include plans, specifications, and worksheets for stormwater management facilities that are appropriate for the surface water classification and designed to remove at least 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. These facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as approved by this Office) shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan (as approved by this Office) shall be implemented. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality. 10. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO 10000 Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing Charlotte-Douglas International Airport Page 5 of 6 November 17, 2005 construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may be found at htW:Ilh o ettrstate.rtc.us/su/Foi-ms Docuntents.htrn.; Continuing Compliance: 11. Mr. Jerry Orr and Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, shall conduct construction activities in a manner consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of State law and federal law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, the Division may reevaluate and modify this Certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before modifying the Certification, the Division shall notify Mr. Jerry Orr and/or Charlotte-Douglas International Airport and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 211.0503 and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to Mr. Jerry Orr and/or Charlotte- Douglas International Airport in writing, shall be provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any Permit issued pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project; Culverts: 12. Culvert Installation Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re- established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly. Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Therefore, you must provide plans with adequate details that indicate that the current stability of the stream will be maintained or enhanced. You must receive written approval from this Office for the above plans before the culvert(s) is installed. Culvert(s) must be installed according to approved plans. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis- equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport Page 6 of 6 November 17, 2005 above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality. Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401 /Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. Please send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation along with the Certificate of Completion form. Certificate of Completion: 13. Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit. If this Certification is unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within sixty (60) days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. If modifications are made to an original Certification, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written request within sixty (60) days following receipt of the Certification. Unless such demands are made, this Certification shall be final and binding. This the 17`h day of November 2005 DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY ?rA ??6 Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

Based on the information provided by the applicant and our knowledge of the area, we do not believe this project will cause significant effects to waters providing the following recommendations are implemented: 1. Where possible, jurisdictional waters should be relocated using state-of-the-art bioengineering (natural channel design) techniques and methodologies. 2. Post development hydrographic conditions should be maintained to the maximum extent possible. Mimicking pre airport hydrographic conditions should be the goal. Hydrograph maintenance should include new construction and previously developed areas of the airport to reduce secondary and cumulative impacts. 3. Besides the proposed detention wetlands, Low Impact Development (LID) methodologies should be incorporated into all individual facilities that will be developed on airport property. Low Impact Development (LID) techniques are encouraged. Information on LID practices and measures can be found at www.lowimpactdevelopment.org. 4. Only native plants should be used for constructed wetlands and open spaces. We recommend and encourage the airport to provide and maintain native prairie habitats using Native Warm Season Grasses (NWSG) landscapes instead of typical fescues. Please see the piedmont prairie plant attachment provided by Ms. Laura M. Fogo (910-695-3323 ext. 4) with US Fish & Wildlife Service. These species should require less mowing and can help reduce Canada geese presence on the airport. The avoidance of open water through vegetated wetlands should also help. A three (3) year mowing cycle is recommended where only a third of the prairie plant areas will be mowed annually. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453. Attachment: USFWS Recommendations of Piedmont Prairie Restoration and Creation Ec: Alan Johnson, DWQ-MRO Becky Fox, EPA Alan Ratzlaff, USFWS Laura Fogo, USFWS CLT Douglas Intemational Airport 404 September 23, 2005 Recommendations of Piedmont Prairie Restoration and Creation Laura M. Fogo, Private Lands Biologist, US Fish and Wildlife Service RESTORATION If you discover a potential prairie remnant, it is recommended that you reestablish fire into the ecosystem and thin the site depending on your goals for prairie, savannah, or woodland. Thinning a site will allow sunlight to reach the forest floor to encourage herbaceous plants to grow. Your native understory vegetation may already be there and it may not be necessary to plant. See Piedmont Prairies and a Partnership, to reference associated community types to look for. CREATION/REESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIVE PRAIRIE Seed Source: Try to obtain local genotypes of native plant material to reestablish a prairie. I only recommend buying seed from outside NC if it's a creation project or the local genotypes are not available or present. There is limited availability of NC grass seed from nursery growers. There are commercial nurseries that provide local plants and seed. If you have the time and want only local seed sources, it will take more effort. For large scale restoration, some projects may want to go ahead and purchase seeds. It is agreed by the partnership to collect local seed from remnant sites and roadside populations for trying to restore remnant prairies. Planting associated prairie species provides habitat for migratory songbirds and other early successional wildlife dependant species. Native Warm Season Grasses (NWSG): Attached are commercial native seed sources and planting guides to establish NWSG prepared by Bob Glennon, USFWS. He mentions applying fertilizer the year after it is established. These grasses are fertilized to grow hay (forage) for cows as far as a productivity production, however, it will encourage undesirable weedy competition. It has been recommended only to lime according to your soil's needs. These grasses are native and grow on poor sites anyway and are not used to having good nutrients. I would re-evaluate after a year and establishment. Remember that it may take at least two years to see good results on the NWSG. Bob has done a great job on explaining methods: using a seed drill, calibrations, seeding depths, etc. Follow his instructions. When planting, drilling is best, but if you cannot, broad cast and run a cultapacker over it. You can plant the different ones at the same time (except gama) and place them in the appropriate seed boxes in the no-till drill. You put the fluffy-chaffy ones, big blue, little blue, and Indian grass in the chaffy seed box and plant 1/4" seed depth. The small box is used for smooth grass seeds like switch grass and gama. He said to make a separate pass for the gama grass at 1" seed depth. Planting times: For NWSG, it is recommended, to plant in the fall after Thanksgiving, after the first killing frost (Oct. 31 Piedmont-Nov. Coast) until the last killing frost in the spring (March 15 on the coast, April 1 for most of the state, April 15 in the west). As soon as you have the site prepared, you might want to plant winter annuals such as winter wheat, barley, and F CLT Douglas International Airport 404 4 September 23, 2005 ryegrass grain. Be cautious planting ryegrass, because it may re-seed and cause competition the next spring. NWSG's require to be pre-chilled in moist conditions at least two weeks at 40 degrees F (stratification). So November planting is fine. There are some exceptions for planting in the spring before May. The exception is if you have not eradicated all the non-natives or fescue. If you plant in the spring, you run the risk of loosing the new seedlings to drought. If you plant in the winter, it will give the grasses time to establish a root system to be better prepared for potential dry times in spring or summer. It may be possible to apply herbicide on fescue in the spring, then plant immediately. Forbs associated with Piedmont Prairies: Attached is a list of forbs for propagation compiled by members of the partnership derived from the "Vascular Flora of Piedmont Prairies: Evidence from Several Prairie Remnants" by Davis, et al. 2002. This document establishes a good baseline of Piedmont prairie vegetation for reestablishment and identification. Please notify me or Moni Bates, NC Plant Conservation Program, if you are interested in seed collection and propagation. Recommended Prairie Mixture: Below is a mixture recommended based on the list mentioned above for planting five warm season grasses: big blue stem, little blue stem, Indian grass, gama grass and switch grass (see rates below). When you mix it and add native wildflowers, it will make your project more diverse and more like a natural prairie community. For starting over, I recommend planting at 6-8 pounds per acre of the following mixture of NWSG: I pound of a switch grass (Panicum virgatum) (Plateau will injure), or P. anceps = Beaked Panicum, P. clandestinum = Deertongue, 2 pounds of big blue stem 2 pounds of little blue stem 2 pounds of Indian Grass I pound of Gama grass (Plateau will injure) (Note: For forage production, higher rates are recommended). A mixture that is compatible with Plateau or herbicides with the same chemical: 3 pounds of big blue stem 2 pounds of little blue stem 3 pounds of Indian Grass For wildflowers: plant I pound per acre and mix it with the grass. I picked the following: Butterfly milkweed, Purple coneflower, Coreopsis lanceolata, Coreopsis tinctoria (annual), Rough blazing star (Liatris aspera) and black-eyed susan (Rudbeckia hirta). When developing and customizing a seed mixture, I recommend checking the local county plant species list (if there is one) and Vascular Plants of the Carolinas for species diversity, as well as consulting with botanists. The NC Botanical Garden is a good reference and has a native seed source list of local commercial growers. 1 CLT Douglas International Airport 404 September 23, 2005 Figure 1.

Clement Riddle, P.W.S. W oc, 3 ' 2005 224 South Grove Street, Suite F ?O AN BRANCH Hendersonville, North Carolina 28792 p D ST E AR The Corps will evaluate this application and a decide whether to issue, conditionally issue, or deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Location The proposed project is located within the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) Expansion Area of approximately 2,500 acres of land in the City of Charlotte, North Carolina (35.2147389°N, 80.942716°W). The proposed project footprint comprises approximately 60 acres within the project expansion area. The airport is bounded to the north by US 74 (Wilkinson Boulevard). To the east the project is bounded by existing Runway 18R/36L. The southern project boundary is located just south of Byrum Drive. To the west, Interstate 485 Outer Beltway is under construction and creates a definitive boundary for the airport. The study area contains a variety of both permanent (Coffey Creek and Ticer Creek), the upper reaches of named intermittent streams (Little Paw Creek and Beaverdam Creek), and numerous headwaters of small unnamed intermittent streams. All of these channels are part a tributary system to the Catawba River, which is navigable below the Mountain Island Dam. Existing Site Conditions The 2,500-acre site consists mostly of upland areas. There are 21.76 acres of jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. including wetlands. Upland areas included the following habitat types: • Oak-Pine-Hickory Forest. The study area was predominately secondary forest situated on a soil moisture gradient ranging from sub-mesic to well drained. Typical species in the forests were white oak (Quercus alba), blackjack oak (Q. marilandica), willow oak (Q. phellos), red oak (Q. rubra), southern red oak (Q. falcate), red maple (Acer rubrum), mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa), pignut hickory (C. glabra), sweet pignut (C. ovalis), Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana), shortleaf pine (P. echinata), and red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). Subdominant species were hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), basswood (Tilia heterophylla), beech (Fagus americana), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), white ash (Fraxinus americana), and black walnut (Juglans nigra). Understory species were comprised of slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), blueberry (Vaccinium atrococcum), silverberry (Eleaganus umbellate), red cedar, strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus), black haw (Viburnum prunifolium), flowering dogwood (Corpus florida), black cherry (Prunus serotina), winged sumac (Rhus copallina), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), red bud (Cercis canadensis), and American holly (Ilex opaca). Woody vines included Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), moonseed (Menispermum canadense), kudzu-vine (Pueraria lobata), Carolina rose (Rosa carolina), muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis), greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). The herb layer was generally composed of bluegrass (Poa. spp.), fescue (Festuca spp.), ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and sedges (Carex spp.). Common forbs included five-finger (Potentilla canadensis), bedstraw (Galium aparine), wild licorice (G. circaezans), cranesbill (Geranium carolinianum), mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), violets (Viola sororia), wild ginger (Asarum canadensis), snakeroot (Sanicula gregaria, S. canadense), wild strawberry (Fragaria virginica), spotted wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata), puttyroot (Aplectrum hyemale), sweet cicely (Osmorhiza claytonii), liver-leaf (Hepatica americana), and bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis). Woodland ferns common in the survey area included Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), wood fern (Dryopteris marginalis), grape fern (Botrychium dissectum), rattlesnake fern (B. virginianum), and ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron). • Bottomland Forests. Shafale and Weakley (1990) reserve the term bottomland forest for floodplain ridges and terraces. Thus, the moist woodlands found adjacent to intermittent streams, drainageways, and ponds were identified as Alluvial/Upland Depression Swamp Forests (Report on Biotic Communities). Dominant tree species included tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), sweet gum, sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), box elder (Acer negundo), cottonwood (Populus 2 11 deltoids), and black willow (Salix nigra). The understory community was composed of river birch (Betula nigra), America hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), and smooth alder (Alnus serrulata), in addition to the trees listed above. The herb layer contained sedges (Carex vulpinoidea, C. frankii, C. crinata, C. spp.), bedstraw (Galium aparine), spotted touch-me-not (Impatiens capensis), snakeroot, golden ragwort (Senecio aureus), white avens (Geum canadense), jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), stonecrop (Sedum ternatum), and the exotic, invasive grass (Eulalia viminea). • Old Field and Scrub/Shrub. Old-field growth was identified in scattered areas throughout the survey area, but predominantly within the existing airport property. Widely dispersed empress-trees (Paulownia tomentosa), though not dominant, were observed colonizing old-field and scrub/shrub areas at CLT. Grasses such as Canada bluegrass (Poa compressa), Kentucky bluegrass (P. pratensis), timothy (Phleum pratense), red fescue (Festuca rubra), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), green foxtail grass (Setaria viridis), and orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) were common. Broadleaf herbaceous species included goldenrod (Solidago spp.), common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), curly dock (Rumex crispus), ox-eye daisy (Chrysanthium leucantheum), wild carrot (Daucus carota), poke (Phytolacca americana) bush clover (Lespedeza spp.), tick-trefoil (Desmodium spp.), mugwort (Artemisia vularis), small white aster (Aster vimineus), blackberry (Rubus spp.) and ragweed (Ambrosia spp.) • Urban-Industrial-Turf. Turf grass or maintained lawns were identified in the vicinity of the existing airport facility and at commercial and residential properties in the study area. These areas undergo regular mowing. Vegetation in these areas was dominated by a variety of introduced grasses including perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), redtop (Agrostis gigantea), red fescue, Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), and annual bluegrass (P. annua). Other common herbaceous species included dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), lyre-leaf sage (Salvia lyrata), yellow wood sorrel (Oxalis stricta, O. europea), common plantain (Plantago major), lance leaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata), and white clover (Trifolium repens). A large percentage of the project areas is covered with roads and other hard surfaces or impervious coatings. • Disturbed - Unvegetated. Examples of this land use were observed in the soil harvesting operations or borrow areas conducted by outside contractors on behalf of CLT, which covered approximately 153 acres in the project area. This land use fluctuates with Old Field vegetation. A demolition debris disposal area covers approximately 18 acres of the airport property north of Old Dowd Road. Another 37 acres of disturbed land is located south of Byrum Road. Vegetated wetlands were delineated throughout of the study area. Total acreage of wetlands in the study areas is 3.78 acres. Wetlands were subdivided into three types based on the plant communities: 1.) Palustrine Scrub/Shrub and Emergent Wetlands describes areas with an open canopy of small broad-leaf deciduous trees and/or broad-leaf deciduous shrubs and an extensive persistent herb layer; 2.) Palustrine Emergent and Scrub/Shrub Wetland is a mixed-vegetation wetlands type described a single area dominated by herbaceous ground cover but was surrounded by small broad-leaf deciduous trees and/or broad-leaf deciduous shrubs and 3.) Palustrine Forest and Scrub/Shrub Wetlands are wetland forests in the project area, which were characterized by 3 11 widely-spaced mature broad-leaf deciduous trees and densely-packed broad-leaf deciduous shrubs. Ticer Creek and Coffee Creek are the only U.S.G.S perennial streams found on-site. These streams have water flow throughout the year. Because of the year around flow and swiftness of the water current there is no rooted vegetation in these streams. Biological indicators observed in these streams included fish, crayfish, and small invertebrates. Vegetation along the banks of these streams varied but generally has a large canopy that is dominated by American sycamore, yellow poplar, eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), and red maple. Saplings of the above species dominated the scrub/shrub layer along the streambed and banks. The herbaceous layer was dominated by Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), and blackberry. The intermittent streams located within the project boundary have moderate flow most of the year. In other parts of the year, these streams have little or no flow and are filled with leaf litter. The moderate flow does not allow rooted vegetation to thrive. These streams were observed to have stable stream banks, scattered persistent pools, channel substrate and biological indicators such as crayfish and amphibians were observed in and around persistent pools. Vegetation in the riparian areas included American sycamore, yellow poplar, eastern white pine, and southern red oak (Quercus falcata). The scrub/shrub layer was dominated by saplings of all of the above species and included sweet gum. The herbaceous layer is dominated by Christmas fern, ebony spleenwort, blackberry, and greenbrier. "Unimportant" intermittent streams within the project boundary have little or no flow most of the year. There is little vegetation in the beds of these streams because they are mostly filled with silt that occurs during heavy amounts of rainfall. Along with silt there is a high content of leaf litter on the streambed. These streams lack a persistent flow, stable stream banks, crawfish, minnows, in-stream habitat structure, adjacent wetlands, and rifle pool structures typically observed in higher quality intermittent streams. The classification of these streams was verified in the field by Mr. Dave Penrose (DWQ) and Ms. Amada Jones (USACE) In August 2003. A total of eight ponds were identified within the study area. The total acreage of open water in the study area was estimated to be 8.60 acres (Table 2). These water bodies are itemized in Table 2. Six of these are impoundments are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and are located on intermittent streams. Two of the ponds are isolated and non jurisdictional. Common shoreline vegetation of the water bodies consisted of smooth alder, cottonwood, sycamore, and willow. Scrub/shrub growth along pond borders included alder, slippery elm, buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), swamp rose, multiflora rose, and blackberry. Floating aquatic vegetation was present in the larger bodies of open water and included pondweed (Potamogeton crispus), duckweed (Lemma minor), and coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum). Applicant's Stated Purpose The specific purposes of this project is to provide sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand; provide sufficient ancillary facilities to support the potential 4 .1 1 increase in air and ground transportation demand; and minimize potential impacts on human health and environment by reducing noise impacts on the surrounding communities. Project Description The specific proposed project in this phase includes the extension of runway 18R/36L, relocation of West Boulevard, and relocation a portion of Old Dowd Road. These three proposed activities are essential and independent of future expansion considerations. They are necessary whether the third proposed runway is located on the eastern side of I-485 as currently approved in the Record Of Decision or located on the west side of I-485 as being proposed under the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) under preparation. The proposed Wetland Master Plan (PLAN) includes impacts to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdictional waters of the U.S. including wetlands for construction of a runway extension (18R/36L, taxiways F and Echo), road relocations (West Boulevard and a portion of Old Dowd Road). The following is a description of activities for the preferred alternative: • Extension of Runway 18R/36L to a length of 12,000 feet by constructing a 2,000 foot southerly extension with parallel and connecting taxiways and associated lighting. Additionally, the southerly extension was selected because it provides the necessary length for long haul capacity and provides the most efficient use of the airport for departures with the least environmental impact. • Relocation of West Boulevard around the south end of the airport from the eastern end of Runway 36R and closure of Byrum Road; Relocation of the northern portion of Old Dowd Road, just east of I-485 Outer Beltway (the final alignment of Wallace Neal Road will either be parallel to I-485 on the east or west side). The Wallace Neal Road and third runway alternatives are under discussion in the forthcoming Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. • To accomplish these activities the applicant proposes to impact 5,450 linear feet of perennial and intermittent, important streams; 528 linear feet of unimportant, intermittent channels; 0.176 acres of open waters/ponds; and 0.652 acres of wetlands. Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S./wetlands were delineated throughout the study area and verified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on January 8, 2001. Due to the extensive project proposal and the necessary time to construct these projects, the Project applicant is requesting that this Individual Permit be valid for a period of 7 years from the date of issuance. Other Required Authorizations This notice and all applicable application materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State agencies for review. The Corps will generally not make a final permit decision until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500). The receipt of the application and 5 11 this public notice in the NCDWQ Central Office in Raleigh serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification. A waiver will be deemed to occur if the NCDWQ fails to act on this request for certification within sixty days of the date of the receipt of this notice in the NCDWQ Central Office. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the NCDWQ Central Office, 401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604-2260. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 Attention: Ms Cyndi Karoly by October 25, 2005. Essential Fish Habitat This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The Corps' initial determination is that the proposed project will not adversely impact EFH or associated fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the National Marine Fisheries Service. Cultural Resources The Corps has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places and has determined that registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein are located within the project area and/or will be affected by the proposed work. A Memorandum of Agreement between the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources and the CLT was implemented on August 11, 1999 (attached) to resolve issues related to these resources. Endangered Species The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the applicant and consulted the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. Based on available information, the Corps has determined pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, that the proposed project will have no effect on federally listed endangered or threatened species or their formally designated critical habitat. Surveys were performed for federally protected species as part of the Environmental Impact Statement. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concurred in their December 4, 1998 letter that the project will not affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. In order to update this study, CLT plans to conduct surveys within the proposed project areas during the flowering season (September) for listed species known to occur in Mecklenburg County (Helianthus schweinitzii). A copy of this report will be forwarded to the USACE and USFWS. 6 Evaluation The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity on the public interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the discharge of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, the evaluation of the impact of the activity on the public interest will include application of the Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines. Commenting Information The Corps is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider _and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Any person may request, in writing, within the comment period specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider the application. Requests for public hearings shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. Requests for a public hearing shall be granted, unless the District Engineer determines that the issues raised are insubstantial or there is otherwise no valid interest to be served by a hearing.

In the late 1980's the FAA sponsored an Airport Capacity Enhancement Study, which culminated in the 1991 CLT Capacity Enhancement Plan. The FAA sponsored capacity study identified demand levels at which CLT should operate or suffer consequence of delays. Thereafter, a Master Plan was prepared by the City of Charlotte, which indicated the existing airport runway system is beyond its calculated Annual Service Volume capacity and the baseline activity levels identified in the 1991 Capacity Study were exceeded which triggered the need to increase the capacity of the airport. If the capacity of the airport was not increased, the airport would suffer operational delays. The 1991 Capacity Study recommended the construction of a third parallel runway as the most beneficial development proposal to increase capacity at CLT and at the same time reduce operational delays. In 1998, the City of Charlotte completed an update of the current Airport Master Plan. The recommendations of the updated master plan and developments were assessed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) submitted in November of 1999. The Record of Decision (ROD) for the proposed expansion of CLT was signed April 28, 2000. This application proposes impacts to jurisdictional wetlands/waters of the US for several of the proposed airport improvements listed below in Section 2.0 (Proposed Activity). The specific project purposes that are proposed in this phase include the extension of runway 18R/36L, relocation of West Boulevard, and relocation a portion of Old Dowd Road. These three proposed activities are essential and independent of future expansion considerations. A Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) is being 1 prepared that will further studies of the alignment for the proposed third runway and the relocation of portions of Wallace Neal Road west of Interstate 485. 1.1 Project Site The proposed project is located within the CLT Expansion Area of approximately 2,500 acres of land in the City of Charlotte, North Carolina (Figure 2). The proposed project footprint comprises approximately 60 acres within the project expansion area. The airport is bounded to the north by US. 74 Wilkinson Boulevard. To the east the project is bounded by existing Runway 18R/36L. The southern project boundary is located just south of Byrum Drive. To the west, Interstate 485 Outer Beltway is under construction and creates a definitive boundary for the airport. 1.2 Project Purpose The specific purposes of this project is to provide sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand; provide sufficient ancillary facilities to support the potential increase in air and ground transportation demand; and minimize potential impacts on human health and environment by reducing noise impacts on the surrounding communities. The specific project purposes that are proposed in this phase include the extension of runway 18R/36L, relocation of West Boulevard, and relocation a portion of Old Dowd Road. These three proposed activities are essential and independent of future expansion considerations. They are necessary whether the third proposed runway is located on the eastern side of I-485 as currently approved in the ROD or located on t the west side of I-485 as being proposed under the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) under preparation. 1.3 Public Involvement The public was afforded numerous opportunities through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process to evaluate the proposal for airport expansion and provide 2 comments on those proposals. The evaluation periods included public notices March 31, 1995, Federal Register, Public notice in newspapers announcing meetings November 14- 18, 1995; agency scoping meeting December 13, 1995 1:00 pm; public scoping meeting December 13, 1995, 6:00 pm; notice of availability for the Draft EIS; and a public information workshop and public hearing held on August 27, 1998. The FAA in preparation of the Final EIS carefully considered all comments received from the public as well as from Federal, State, and local agencies. 3 2.0 PROPOSED ACTIVITY (PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE) The proposed Wetland Master Plan (PLAN) includes impacts to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdictional waters of the U.S. including wetlands for construction of a runway extension (18R/36L, taxiways (F and Echo), road relocations (West Boulevard and a portion of Old Dowd Road). The following is a description of activities for the preferred alternative: Extension of Runway 18R/36L to a length of 12,000 feet by constructing a 2,000 foot southerly extension with parallel and connecting taxiways and associated lighting. Additionally, the southerly extension was selected because it provides the necessary length for long haul capacity and provides the most efficient use of the airport for departures with the least environmental impact. Relocation of West Boulevard around the south end of the airport from the eastern end of Runway 36R and closure of Byrum Road; Relocation of the northern portion of Old Dowd Road, just east of I-485 Outer Beltway (the final alignment of Wallace Neal Road will either be parallel to I-485 on the east or west side). The Wallace Neal Road and third runway alternatives are under discussion in the forthcoming Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. To accomplish these activities the applicant proposes to impact 5,450 linear feet of perennial and intermittent "importantl" streams, 528 linear feet of unimportant intermittent channels, 0.176 acres of open waters/ponds, and 0.652 acres of wetlands. Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S./wetlands were delineated throughout the study area and verified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on January 8, 2001. 1 USACE Stream Evaluation form 4 Due to the extensive project proposal and the necessary time to construct these projects, the Project applicant is requesting that this Individual Permit be valid for a period of 7 years from the date of issuance. 3.0 ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS An alternative analysis was conducted as part of the FEIS process for the proposed expansion of CLT. While written for the FEIS, this Alternative Analysis gave consideration to practicable and reasonable alternatives and adequately complies with Section 404(b)(1) guidelines and is attached in Appendix A. This discussion of alternatives is submitted by the Applicant to assist the Wilmington District, USACE in evaluating the application for authorization to discharge dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1344 for CLT expansion in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. An analysis of the Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines requirements for consideration of alternatives as required by 40 C.F.R. 230.10(a) is set forth below. The Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines Alternatives requirements provide that "no discharge of dredged or fill material shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem, so long as the alternative does not have other significant adverse environmental consequences." [See 40 C.F.R. 230.10(a) (emphasis added).] The record must contain "sufficient information to demonstrate that the proposed discharge complies with the requirements of Section 230.10(a) of the Guidelines. The amount of information needed to make such a determination and the level of scrutiny required by the Guidelines is commensurate with the severity of the environmental impact (as determined by the functions of the aquatic resource and the nature of the proposed activity) and the scope/cost of the project." [See ACOE/EPA Memorandum to the Field "Appropriate Level of Analysis Required for Evaluating Compliance with Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines Alternatives Requirements," p. 2, dated August 23, 1994, hereinafter the "Memorandum."] As noted in the Memorandum at pages 3-4, the 404(b)(1) Guidelines "only prohibits discharges when a practicable alternative exists which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem." [See Memorandum.] "If an alleged alternative is unreasonably expensive to the applicant, the alternative is not practicable." 6 [See Guidelines Preamble, "Economic Factors," 45 Federal Register 85343 (December 24, 1980).] Practicable alternatives for the project are those alternatives that are "available and capable of being done after taking into consideration costs, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall project purposes." [See 40 C.F.R. 230.10(a)(2).] Clarification is provided in the Preamble to the Guidelines on how cost is to be considered in the determination of practicability. An alternative site is considered "available" if it is presently owned by the applicant or "could reasonably be obtained, utilized, expanded or managed in order to fulfill the basic purpose of the proposed activity." 40 C.F.R. § 230.10(a)(2). Our intent is to consider those alternatives, which are reasonable in terms of the overall scope/cost of the proposed project. The term economic [for which the term "costs" was substituted in the final rule] might be construed to include consideration of the applicant's financial standing, or investment, or market share, a cumbersome inquiry which is not necessarily material to the objectives of the Guidelines. The EPA 404(b)(1) Guidelines state that, "we have chosen instead to impose an explicit, but rebuttable presumption that alternatives to discharges in special aquatic sites are less damaging to the aquatic ecosystem, and are environmentally preferable." Of course, the general requirements that impacts to the aquatic system not be acceptable also applies. This presumption "...contains sufficient flexibility to reflect circumstances of unusual cases" (249 Fed. Reg., 85339, December 24, 1980). It is clear from these stipulations that a preferable alternative may allow filling in certain wetland areas and subsequent mitigation and/or management of other areas. The wetlands and streams estimate in the FEIS Alternative Analysis vary from current impacts because the wetlands and streams had not been surveyed and verified by the USACE. However, the conclusions and recommendations of this report remain valid taking into consideration the changes in total impact. 7 The alternative analysis address the proposed projects discussed in this application as well as the proposed third runway and relocation of Wallace Neal Road. The alternative analysis is valid for the projects in this application as it was approved in the ROD, provides the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative. In addition, the forthcoming Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement will not address the projects proposed in this application as there are no changes and no new alternatives considered. Therefore, the applicant believes that the attached discussion of alternatives, together with other documents submitted by the applicant in support of its 404 Permit, shows that the project complies with the guidelines and promotes public interest. 8 11 4.0 HABITAT DESCRIPTIONS The 2,500-acre site consists mostly of upland areas. There are 21.76 acres of jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. including wetlands. The site was delineated between September and November 2000 and verified by the USACE on January 8, 2001. A description of vegetation habitats is summarized below from data collected for the Report on Biotic Communities, Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (Environment and Archeology for the Environmental Impact Statement, November 1997). 4.1 Oak-Pine-Hickory Forest The study area was predominately secondary forest situated on a soil moisture gradient ranging from sub-mesic to well drained. Typical species in the forests were white oak (Quercus alba), blackjack oak (Q. marilandica), willow oak (Q. phellos), red oak (Q. rubra), southern red oak (Q. falcate), red maple (Acer rubrum), mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa), pignut hickory (C. glabra), sweet pignut (C. ovalis), Virginia pine (Pines virginiana), shortleaf pine (P. echinata), and red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). Subdominant species were hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), basswood (Tilia heterophylla), beech (Fagus americana), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), white ash (Fraxinus americana), and black walnut (Juglans nigra). Understory species were comprised of slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), blueberry (Vaccinium atrococcum), silverberry (Eleaganus umbellate), red cedar, strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus), black haw (Viburnum prunifolium), flowering dogwood (Corpus florida), black cherry (Prunus serotina), winged sumac (Rhus copallina), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), red bud (Cercis canadensis), and American holly (Ilex opaca). Woody vines included Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), moonseed (Menispermum canadense), kudzu-vine (Pueraria lobata), Carolina rose (Rosa carolina), muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis), greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). 9 The herb layer was generally composed of bluegrass (Poa. Spp.), fescue (Festuca spp.), ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and sedges (Carex spp.). Common forbs included five-finger (Potentilla canadensis), bedstraw (Galium aparine), wild licorice (G. circaezans), cranesbill (Geranium carolinianum), mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), violets (Viola sororia), wild ginger (Asarum canadensis), snakeroot (Sanicula gregaria, S. canadense), wild strawberry (Fragaria virginica), spotted wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata), puttyroot (Aplectrum hyemale), sweet cicely (Osmorhiza claytonii), liver-leaf (Hepatica americana), and bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis). Woodland ferns common in the survey area included Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), wood fern (Dryopteris marginalis), grape fern (Botrychium dissectum), rattlesnake fern (B. virginianum), and ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron). 4.2 Bottomland Forests Shafale and Weakley (1990) reserve the term bottomland forest for floodplain ridges and terraces. Thus, the moist woodlands found adjacent to intermittent streams, drainageways, and ponds were identified as Alluvial Upland Depression Swamp Forests (Report on Biotic Communities). Dominant tree species included tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), sweet gum, sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), box elder (Acer negundo), cottonwood (Populus deltoids), and black willow (Salix nigra). The understory community was composed of river birch (Betula nigra), America hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), and smooth alder (Alnus serrulata), in addition to the trees listed above. The herb layer contained sedges (Carex vulpinoidea, C. frankii, C. crinata, C. spp.), bedstraw (Galium aparine), spotted touch-me-not (Impatiens capensis), snakeroot, golden ragwort (Senecio aureus), white avens (Geum canadense), jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), stonecrop (Sedum ternatum), and the exotic, invasive grass (Eulalia viminea). 10 11 4.3 Old Field and Scrub/Shrub Old-field growth was identified in scattered areas throughout the survey area, but predominantly within the existing airport property. Widely dispersed empress-trees (Paulownia tomentosa), though not dominant, were observed colonizing old-field and scrub/shrub areas at CLT. Grasses such as Canada bluegrass (Poa compressa), Kentucky bluegrass (P. pratensis), timothy (Phleum pratense), red fescue (Festuca rubra), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), green foxtail grass (Setaria viridis), and orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) were common. Broadleaf herbaceous species included goldenrod (Solidago spp.), common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), curly dock (Rumex crispus), ox- eye daisy (Chrysanthium leucantheum), wild carrot (Daucus carota), poke (Phytolacca americana) bush clover (Lespedeza spp.), tick-trefoil (Desmodium spp.), mugwort (Artemisia vularis), small white aster (Aster vimineus), blackberry (Rubus spp.) and ragweed (Ambrosia spp.) 4.4 Urban-Industrial-Turf Turf grass or maintained lawns were identified in the vicinity of the existing airport facility and at commercial and residential properties in the study area. These areas undergo regular mowing. Vegetation in these areas was dominated by a variety of introduced grasses including perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), redtop (Agrostis gigantea), red fescue, Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), and annual bluegrass (P. annua). Other common herbaceous species included dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), lyre-leaf sage (Salvia lyrata), yellow wood sorrel (Oxalis stricta, O. europea), common plantain (Plantago major), lance leaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata), and white clover (Trifolium repens). A large percentage of the project areas is covered with roads and other hard surfaces or impervious coatings. 11 11 4.5 Disturbed - Unvegetated Examples of this land use were observed in the soil harvesting operations or borrow areas conducted by outside contractors on behalf of CLT, which covered approximately 153 acres in the project area. This land use fluctuates with Old Field vegetation. A demolition debris disposal area covers approximately 18 acres of the airport property north of Old Dowd Road. Another 37 acres of disturbed land is located south of Byrum Road. 4.6 Wetlands Vegetated wetlands were delineated throughout of the study area. Total acreage of wetlands in the study areas is 3.78 acres (Table 1). Wetlands were subdivided into three types based on the plant communities: 1.) Palustrine Scrub/Shrub and Emergent Wetlands describes areas with an open canopy of small broad-leaf deciduous trees and/or broad-leaf deciduous shrubs and an extensive persistent herb layer; 2.) Palustrine Emergent and Scrub/Shrub Wetland is a mixed-vegetation wetlands type described a single area dominated by herbaceous ground cover but was surrounded by small broad- leaf deciduous trees and/or broad-leaf deciduous shrubs and 3.) Palustrine Forest and Scrub/Shrub Wetlands are wetland forests in the project area, which were characterized by widely-spaced mature broad-leaf deciduous trees and densely-packed broad-leaf deciduous shrubs. 4.7 Open Water/Ponds A total of eight ponds were identified within the study area. The total acreage of open water in the study area was estimated to be 8.60 acres (Table 2). These water bodies are itemized in Table 2. Six of these are impoundments are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and are located on intermittent streams. Two of the ponds are isolated and non- jurisdictional. Common shoreline vegetation of the water bodies consisted of smooth alder, cottonwood, sycamore, and willow. Scrub/shrub growth along pond borders 12 11 included alder, slippery elm, buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), swamp rose, multiflora rose, and blackberry. Floating aquatic vegetation was present in the larger bodies of open water and included pondweed (Potamogeton crispus), duckweed (Lemma minor), and coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum). 4.8 Streams The study area contains a variety of both permanent (Coffey Creek and Ticer Creek), the upper reaches of named intermittent streams (Little Paw Creek and Beaverdam Creek), and numerous headwaters of small unnamed intermittent streams. On-site meetings were conducted on August 20-21, 2003 with Ms. Amanda Jones (USACE), Becky Fox (EPA), Dave Penrose (NCDWQ), Alan Johnson (DWQ), and Clement Riddle (C1earWater Environmental Consultants, Inc.) to confirm the classification and condition of stream segments within the project area. 4.8.1 Perennial Streams Ticer Creek and Coffee Creek are the only U.S.G.S perennial streams found on- site. These streams have water flow throughout the year. Because of the year around flow and swiftness of the water current there is no rooted vegetation in these streams. Biological indicators observed in these streams included fish, crayfish, and small invertebrates. Vegetation along the banks of these streams varied but generally has a large canopy that is dominated by American sycamore, yellow poplar, eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), and red maple. Saplings of the above species dominated the scrub/shrub layer along the streambed and banks. The herbaceous layer was dominated by Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), and blackberry. 13 4.8.2 Intermittent Streams The intermittent streams located within the project boundary have moderate flow most of the year. In other parts of the year, these streams have little or no flow and are filled with leaf litter. The moderate flow does not allow rooted vegetation to thrive. These streams were observed to have stable stream banks, scattered persistent pools, channel substrate and biological indicators such as crayfish and amphibians were observed in and around persistent pools. Vegetation in the riparian areas included American sycamore, yellow poplar, eastern white pine, and southern red oak (Quercus falcata). The scrub/shrub layer was dominated by saplings of all of the above species and included sweet gum. The herbaceous layer is dominated by Christmas fern, ebony spleenwort, blackberry, and greenbrier. 4.8.3 Unimportant Intermittent Streams2 "Unimportant" intermittent streams within the project boundary have little or no flow most of the year. There is little vegetation in the beds of these streams because they are mostly filled with silt that occurs during heavy amounts of rainfall. Along with silt there is a high content of leaf litter on the streambed. These streams lack a persistent flow, stable stream banks, crawfish, minnows, in- stream habitat structure, adjacent wetlands, and rifle pool structures typically observed in higher quality intermittent streams. Stream Evaluation Forms are attached in Appendix D. The classification of these streams was verified in the field by Mr. Dave Penrose, (DWQ) and Ms. Amada Jones (USACE) In August 2003. 2 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Intermittent Stream Channel Evaluation Form 14 5.0 FEDERALLY LISTED SPECIES Surveys were performed for federally protected species as part of the Environmental Impact Statement. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concurred in their December 4, 1998 letter that the project will not affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. In order to update this study, CLT plans to conduct surveys within the proposed project areas during the flowering season (September) for listed species known to occur in Mecklenburg County (Helianthus schweinitzii). A copy of this report will be forwarded to the USACE and USFWS. 15 6.0 MITIGATION PLAN The site assessment identified and evaluated potential impacts to the wetlands and streams occurring on the project site. To compensate for the unavoidable loss of stream habitat, CLT will provide for a "no net loss" of jurisdictional streams habitat and associated functions and values. 6.1 Avoidance Wetland and stream impacts associated with this proposed project are unable to be avoided onsite due to the scope of proposed development and its location, which is adjacent to existing CLT facilities. Because the site is covered in long linear stream segments, it would be impossible to avoid all of these streams while continuing to maintain a rational project design and the flexibility needed to construct a large scale master planned airport transportation complex. Options for locating the proposed projects are severely limited as the proposed projects are linear in nature and have existing fixed structures in place. (i.e. runway extension has to be at the existing runway). CLT foresees continuing expansion and development of the airport facilities in the future. Due to the location of the existing airport and the expected potential for aviation and transportation related development it is anticipated that significant portions of the site will be developed for transportation related activities. Therefore, it is likely that CLT will apply for a Section 404 permit and 401 Water Quality Certification for future projects. 6.2 Minimization Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented during the grading and filling phases of the project. Best management practices (BMP) will be employed to minimize the impacts to wetlands and streams adjacent to the proposed airport expansion. The BMP's which may be employed include siltation barriers and 16 sediment traps. The BMP's will be the most useful and successful method of mitigation to minimize disturbance of natural stream and wetland functions. 6.3 Compensatory Mitigation On-site areas are not considered feasible for stream mitigation as the site is being proposed for development and FAA requirements severely restrict opportunities on-site. Either one of or combination of the following will be used to provide adequate mitigation. • Purchase Mitigation Credits from the approved Mecklenburg County/City of Charlotte Stormwater Services Stream and Wetland mitigation bank. • Other off-site restoration approved by the USACE and DWQ Charlotte-Mecklenburg Stormwater Services operates a wetland and stream mitigation bank to offset impacts to jurisdictional areas as a result of public projects. This Mitigation Bank was approved by the multi-agency review team on July 16, 2004 and will have 12,800 linear feet of restoration credits available. CLT proposes to purchase credits in this mitigation bank to offset impacts as proposed in this application. CLT does not propose mitigation for wetland impacts at this time as impacts are limited to 0.662 acres in this phase. CLT recognizes that any additional impacts to wetlands and streams will be considered cumulative impacts. Therefore, if/when future impacts greater than .338 acres occur, then CLT will provide compensatory mitigation for the total amount of wetland impacts. This is consistent with the 401 Certification rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500). 17 e, I 7.0 STORMWATER A final stormwater management plan will be designed by Talbert and Bright, Inc. to satisfy the future stormwater treatment needs of the proposed development. These plans will be prepared and submitted for review when runway and taxiway design drawings are prepared. The stormwater management facilities will be designed using the Stormwater Best Management Practices, NCDENR 1999. These stormwater management techniques will direct stormwater into FAA approved stormwater measures from the impervious area associated with the runways and taxiways. Following coordination with the NC Division of Water Quality (March 15, 2005), CLT will incorporate extended detention wetlands to treat the stormwater associated with the proposed project. Potential locations for the extended detention stormwater wetland areas for runway 18R/36L are indicated on the enclosed site plan. These stormwater features are designed to provide removal of suspended solids, nutrients, and pollutants from incoming stormwater. Design parameters include the provision of sufficient surface area to promote settling of potential pollutants. The stormwater management plan and maintenance agreement will be approved by NC Division of Water Quality prior to impacts to streams. Stormwater treatment is a requirement under the 401 Water Quality Certification and may require periodic maintenance to meet stormwater plan requirements. 18 8.0 SUMMARY CLT expansion actives listed above will be implemented in phases, and because of the scope of planned expansion activities, the long-term commitment to public need, public resources, and lack of alternatives the applicant is proposing a 7-year permit. By master planning the project, the applicant proposes compensatory mitigation up-front or concurrent with development phases. 19 BASE MAP BY DOLORME 3-0 TOPO QUADS 1998 WEST EXPANSION MASTER PLAN PAGE ,.?"A ft wa. ft om"m 1 waa.T ro: rna,a mwaR owyma rcuP wn BASE MAP FROM LISGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS 'CHARLOTTE WEST' 1983 WEST EXPANSION MASTER PLAN PAGE ..? wwE rrr w•wr. ?+.?e.o roaia,? w., n+ro,a nw,ra owvom .cuc w,. 2 LEGEND mow"" ?/) PROJECT BOUNDARY 74 1 - - - - PERENNIAL STREAM CHANNEL (PS) ' IMPORTANT INTERMITTENT t ---- STREAM CHANNEL (IIS) -' ..; r _- - -_ - • UNIMPORTANT INTERMITTENT '? ±5 STREAM CHANNEL (UI) ..•• y ~\ ?°°+n?? ® PONDS WETLANDS -LF LINEAR FEET 9 it O r 00 +1 O - OO O CCYNOIMlC A y ,f 8 yR L D . o a Ai - CI O O •?i 1 ' t1e111OINw O + ? ?o goo= 2005 PERMIT 'l PAGE .::..: FILE NAME: WETLANDS12W5 PERMIT 1+2005 FINAL PERMIT 1 EXHIBIT - PAGE 03 ON & x 1 1.MXD PRINTED AUGUST 2006 SCALE: 1' . 2.000' 3 LEGEND i PROJECT BOUNDARY / ----- PERENNIAL STREAM CHANNEL (PS) / - - - - • IMPORTANT INTERMITTENT STREAM CHANNEL (IIS) UNIMPORTANT INTERMITTENT STREAM CHANNEL (UI) PONDS WETLANDS _ LF LINEAR FEET 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 WX 13 14 15 16 K/ 1 ' 1 ' 1 _ 1 2E U' 198 LF (3) 2B (Ticer Branch) PS / 1671 LF (1) % / ` / 1Z IIS / 2195 LF (2) 1 / `, 1K 11S 1L IIS ` 3218 LF (7) 1 786 LF (13) 1 M IIS 1 1 ? ` 393 LF (10) - 1L Ul 540 LF (13) •' % ' ` 1Q UI 311 LF (8) 1 \\ r I (M?'?}_'?

The second phase evaluation was to examine the shortlisted alternatives in greater detail and modify those alternatives based on additional analysis. The initial "jump-start" evaluation resulted in a shortlist of alternatives that satisfied the following CLT (airport sponsor) criteria: meet the 20-year arrival and .departure demand requirements, minimize off-airport impacts, minimize on-airport impacts, and maximize runway use flexibility. The conclusions reached from this evaluation were: • New runway development to the east of the existing airfield would be more disruptive to the neighboring community, has higher development cost, and conflicts with the use of Runway 23 for arrivals. • New runways less than 7,000 feet in length do not serve jet aircraft which is the predominant aircraft using CLT. Shorter runways, which do not serve jet aircraft, do not deliver sufficient capacity to serve future capacity needs of the airport. • New parallel runways which are spaced less than 2,500 feet from current runways cannot serve as a third arrival or a third departure runway. • While there is some need for additional departure runway capacity, the predominant need for additional runway capacity is for arrivals.. Thus, runway lengths in excess of 9,000 feet are not necessary, because this length is sufficient to serve all aircraft in the airlines' fleets. The result of the "jump-start" process was the selection of three airfield development concepts that were proposed to be carried forward for further analysis. The shortlist of alternatives included: New 9,000-foot runway spaced 2,500 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 3,400 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L New 9,000-foot runway spaced 5,000 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L All of the proposed runway development alternatives would require acquisition of all the land west of the airport to the proposed Outer Beltway (I-485) in order to accommodate the runway and associated parallel and connector taxiways. Residential and commercial properties in this area would need to be acquired and relocated. CHARLOTTEIDOuGms INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-20 November, 1999 R CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL The second phase of the evaluation process evaluated the selected alternatives on the following criteria: additional peak-period capacity, acceptable taxiing distances and times, development costs, aircraft noise impacts, long-range development preservation (beyond the 20-year Master Plan horizon development requirements), and compatibility with future FAA ATC technological advances. In addition to the shortlisted alternatives, the proposed runway alternative from the previous Master Plan was included as part of the evaluation process. This alternative, a parallel runway at a separation of 1,200 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L, does not meet the airside facility requirements as identified. However, it was necessary to draw a comparison to the shortlisted alternatives. The three shortlisted alternatives were modified to account for separation requirements associated with the runway threshold staggers. Also, the runway separation standard was reduced by the FAA in 1996 from 5,000 feet to 4,300 feet. Therefore, 4,300 feet of separation is the minimum separation that is required to conduct triple independent instrument (IFR-instrument flight rules) operations. As a result, the following alternatives were included in the detailed evaluation process: • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 1,200 feet from existing Runway 18R/36Lso • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 2,700 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L" • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 3,700 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L32 • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 4,300 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L33 Exhibit 3-1 shows all of the runway configuration alternatives in the Sponsor's Proposed Action evaluation. The close-in alternatives (1,200 feet and 2,700 feet separation) were eliminated from further analysis because neither would provide the capability of triple independent arrivals under IFR. Both alternatives would cause operational delays for both arriving and departing traffic and result in noise events occurring into the more sensitive nighttime hours.34 There would also be direct overflights of three schools located south of the airport. In addition, neither alternative would be compatible with future air traffic control technology advances because it is not likely that future technology would allow triple independent IFR arrivals at these proposed separations. 30 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative A" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 31 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative B" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 32 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative C" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 33 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative D" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 34 Operational delays would increase the likelihood that the arrival and departure times of aircraft would be deferred to the nighttime hours -- between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. CXARLOTTE/DOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-21 November, 1999 el I CHAPTER THREE -A L TERNA TIVES FINAL The construction of a 9,000 foot north/south parallel runway, spaced approximately 1,200 feet or 2,700 feet west of existing Runway 18RI36L would not meet the need (as outlined in Chapter Two) of providing sufficient airfield capacity or reducing delay during peak operating periods. Therefore, these alternatives are not carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 9,000-Foot North/South Parallel Runway, Spaced Approximately 3,700 Feet West of ExistinE Runway 18R/36L This alternative provides additional peak-period capacity allowing for independent arrivals and departures during VFR (visual flight rules); independent departures during IFR, and dependent arrivals during IFR (instrument flight rules). Taxiing distance and times would be longer than is currently experienced between the two existing parallel runways. The development cost is estimated at $59.4 million, which is in the mid-range of the alternatives to develop. This alternative provides for delay reduction, thereby reducing delays into the night (noise-sensitive) hours." The development of this option provides adequate area to locate a future parallel runway between existing Runway 18R/36L and the proposed third parallel runway at a 3,700-foot separation. This alternative would ensure adequate area to accommodate long-range airport development and ensure compatible land use planning near the airport. This alternative would be compatible with future ATC technology advancements. It is highly likely that future technology would permit triple IFR arrivals prior to the requirement to develop a fourth parallel runway. The construction of a 9, 000 foot north/south parallel runway, spaced approximately 3,700 feet west of existing Runway 18RI36L would meet the need (as outlined in Chapter Two) of providing sufficient airfield capacity or reducing delay during peak operating periods. Therefore, this alternative is carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 9,000-Foot North/South Parallel Runway, Spaced Approximately 4,300 Feet West of Existine Runway 18R/36L This alternative provides additional peak period capacity allowing for independent arrivals and departures during. VFR, independent departures during IFR, and independent arrivals during IFR. . This alternative provides the highest delay reduction benefits. The taxiing distance and times would be the highest of all alternatives. The development cost is estimated at $63.2 million, which makes it the highest cost of all of the alternatives to develop. In addition, this option would 35 See Footnote 31. CHARL07TEID000LAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-22 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL e require the westward relocation of the proposed I-485 Outer Beltway to accommodate the applicable safety areas and satisfy FAA obstruction [FAR Part 77] requirements. Noise impacts would be spread into areas west of I-485 and arrivals would be routed directly over residential areas north of the airport. Ground noise would be moved nearer residential areas west of airport. Like the 3,700-foot alternative discussed in the previous section, the development of this alternative provides adequate area to locate a future parallel runway between existing Runway 18R/36L and the proposed third parallel runway. This would ensure adequate area to accommodate long-range airport development and ensure compatible land use planning near the airport. Also, a reconfiguration of the planned Outer Beltway may delay the implementation of the new runway development beyond the proposed phasing schedule (Phase I). This alternative is also compatible with future ATC technology enhancements. The construction of a 9,000 foot north/south parallel runway, spaced approximately 4,300 feet west of existing Runway 18RI36L would meet the needs (as outlined in Chapter Two) of providing sufficient airfield capacity and reducing delay during peak operating periods. Therefore, this alternative is carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.3.1.2 Runway Extension Alternatives The airfield requirement analysis performed in this environmental analysis resulted in the recommendation of 12,000 feet of departure capability. This runway length would enable a Boeing 747-200 to serve destinations on the Pacific Rim on a warm summer day with no payload restrictions. All three existing runways (18L/36R, 18R/36L, and 5/23), as well as the proposed third parallel runway were considered as candidates for a runway extension. Extension of Runwav 5/23 Extending Runway 5/23 would require an extension of 4,499 feet to provide 12,000 feet in departure capacity. It would not be feasible to extend this runway to the northeast due to the proximity and location of Norfolk Southern Railroad, Josh Birmingham Parkway, and Billy Graham Parkway. Extending this runway to the southwest would create a runway intersection with Runway 18R/36L causing additional air traffic control coordination effort. Therefore, the proposed extension to Runway 5123 was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. Extension of Runway 18L/36R Extending Runway 18L/36R would require an extension of at least 3,800 feet to provide 12,000-foot departure capability. A 3,800-foot extension would be necessary to provide the requisite safety area on Runway 18L. It would not be C1IARLomE/DouGms INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3.23 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL feasible to extend this runway to the north due to the proximity and location of Norfolk Southern Railroad and the Josh Birmingham Parkway. An extension to the south would require the relocation of West Boulevard, Byrum Drive, and require the reconfiguration of the West Boulevard/Yorkmont Road intersection and would require the airport to acquire a large amount of land to accommodate the runway and affected roadways. Therefore, the proposed extension to Runway 18LI36R was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. Extension of the Proposed Third Parallel Runway Four extension options were identified to achieve a 12,000-foot departure capability on the proposed third parallel runway."' None of these options were considered for further analysis because, from an airfield operational perspective, departures should be conducted on the runway(s) closest to the terminal area and the proposed third parallel runway would be located farthest from the terminal area. In addition, there would be increased taxi time and distance for aircraft to reach the departure ends of the proposed runway particularly with any type of a runway extension. For these two reasons, the proposed extension to the proposed new runway was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. Extension of Runway 18R/36L Two alternatives to extend existing Runway 18R/36L to 12,000 feet were identified.37 The first alternative proposed extensions of 1,294 feet to the north end and 562 feet to the south end and required the use of declared distance criteria to provide adequate runway end safety areas. However, with these extensions, and by applying the declared distance criteria, only a maximum take-off distance of 11,506 feet in each direction could be achieved. This distance, however falls 494 feet short of the 12,000-foot requirement identified. Therefore, the proposed extension to Runway 18RI36L was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS The second alternative to extending Runway 18R/36L to 12,000 requires relocating either West Boulevard or the Norfolk and Southern Railroad. Of these two options, the Sponsor's Proposed Action determined that relocating West Boulevard cost less than relocating the railroad. Therefore, the Sponsor's 36 These alternatives are referred to as "Alternative 1," "Alternative 2," "Alternative 3," and "Alternative 4" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 37 These alternatives are referred to as "Alternative 5" and "Alternative 6" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. CHARLOTTE/DOUGL,AS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-24 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE- ALTERNATIVES FINAL W Proposed Action proposed extending Runway 18R/36L to the south by 2,000 feet." This extension would require the relocation of West Boulevard around the south end of the airport initiating from the east near the Runway 36R end and tied into the I-485 interchange with West Boulevard. The most notable benefit of the runway extension would be the increased operational utility of the runway for Boeing 747-200 aircraft which would be able to depart from this runway with minimal or no payload restriction on long stage-length routes. Aircraft needing the extra length would not be required to cross a runway and the extension would not have any impact on the existing TVOR/DME facility. In addition, the runway extension and roadway relocation would provide an area for additional air cargo or aviation-related development east of the runway extension. An additional benefit of the proposed runway extension would be its mitigating effect on aircraft noise impacts. The extension would reduce noise impacts because aircraft departing from Runway 36L would be at higher altitudes over noise-sensitive areas to the north. Therefore, this alternative, in conjunction with the relocation of West Boulevard, was selected as the Sponsor's Proposed Project and was included on the proposed revised ALP. 3.3.1.3 Summary -- Runway Extension Alternatives The runway extension alternatives represent one component of the Sponsor's Proposed Project. The proposed construction of a 2, 000 foot extension on the southern end of Runway 18RI36L would be the only alternative to meet the need of providing sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). The development of this project would result as a consequence of implementing this alternative or as an element of the proposed action alternative. Therefore, the alternatives which incorporate the proposed 2,000-foot runway extension on the south end of Runway 18R/36L together with the required no-build alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. The landside projects are described in the Chapter 2, Section 2.5. These projects are included in all airside alternatives including Alternative 2. 38 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative 5" in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. CHARLOTTEIDOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-25 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL 3.3.2 Landside Projects 3.3.2.1 Terminal Alternatives Because the need to provide sufficient terminal gate capacity for commuter aircraft, and domestic and international jet aircraft -would result as a consequence of implementing the development alternative, as presented in Chapter 2, Purpose and Need, Section 2.5.1 there is no other reasonable, prudent, feasible, or practicable development alternative that provides the required functional design. The existing terminal facilities can be improved to meet CLT's future needs, and thus it is more reasonable to improve the existing facilities than to build new ones. Therefore, the recommendation would be to implement the Sponsor's Proposed Project or to take no action (no-build). Therefore, the terminal projects as outlined in the Sponsor's Proposed Project and the No Action/No-Build Alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.3.2.2 Ancillary Facility Alternatives Because the need to provide sufficient ancillary facilities to support the potential increase in air transportation demand would result as a consequence of implementing the development alternative, as presented in Chapter Two, Purpose and Need, Section 2.5.1 there is no other reasonable, prudent, feasible, or practicable development alternative that provides the required functional design. The existing ancillary facilities can be improved to meet CLT's future needs, and thus it is more reasonable to improve the existing facilities than to build new ones. Therefore, the recommendation would be to implement the Sponsor's Proposed Project or to take no action (no-build). Therefore, the ancillary facility projects as outlined in the Sponsor's Proposed Project and the No-Action/No-Build Alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.3.3 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions This FEIS assesses environmentally the impact of implementing the Phase I and Phase II noise abatement air traffic measures (previously approved by the FAA on regulatory, non-environmental assessment grounds) that were contained in the 1997 Update of CLT's Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan. These actions are identified as "Phase I" measures which abate the noise impacts of aircraft operations with the airfield in its existing configuration, and "Phase II" measures which abate the noise impacts of aircraft operations with the development of a new north/south parallel runway and a 2,000-foot extension to Runway 18R/36L. The noise abatement air traffic measures to be environmentally assessed are: CNARLOTTEIDOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-26 November, 1999 11 - CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL IP Phase I Air Traffic Measures • Continue periodic monitoring procedures (initiated as a result of the 1990 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions) within the airport environs. • Provide monthly reports on late night (11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) runway utilization and variances from approved noise abatement and air traffic assumptions to Air Traffic Control Tower management and frequent nighttime operators. • Designate Runways 18R or 18L as preferred for takeoffs by turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. when, under the current preferential runway use program, Runway 23 cannot be used for reasons of wind, weather, operational necessity, or required runway length. • Departing Runway 18R, turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft maintain runway heading to 4 DME south of the CLT VORTAC. • Designate a location for US Airways maintenance run-ups on the company maintenance apron, with orientations aligned with Runway 5/23. • Departing Runways 36R and 36L, turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft initiate turns at the 2.6 and 2.5 DME north of the CLT VORDME, respectively. Phase II Air Traffic Measures • On commissioning a third parallel runway west of Runway 18R/36L, establish an initial departure turn, as soon as practicable, by turbojets and four-engine prop aircraft to a heading of 195 degrees from Runway 17,40 • On commissioning a third parallel runway west of Runway 18R/36L, establish an initial departure turn, as soon as practicable, by turbojets and four-engine prop aircraft to a heading of 315 degrees from Runway 35.4' Because the need to enhance the human environment by reducing noise impacts on surrounding communities would result as a consequence of a build alternative, the only alternatives are to implement the proposed noise abatement air traffic measures or to take no action. The 1997 FAR Part 150 Study Update Record of Approval was received on March 30, 1998.42 40 The proposed new runway is designated as Runway 17/35. 41 See Footnote 40. 42 Charlotte/Douglas International Airport FAR Part 150 Study Update, Final, August, 1997, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. To review the alternatives evaluation, see Appendix B, Noise Abatement and Land Use Alternatives, of the Part 150 document. The FAA approved this Part 150 Study Update and issued its Record of Approval dated March 30, 1998. CHARLOTTE/DOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-27 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL Therefore, both the alternative which incorporates the recommendations resulting from the Part 150 Update process and the no action alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.4 Alternatives to be Environmentally Assessed Based upon its systematic evaluation of the full range of potential alternatives, the City of Charlotte, as airport sponsor, selected and requests FAA action and approval of the combination of a new third north/south parallel runway and (Sponsor's Proposed Project Alternative C, a 9,000-foot runway spaced 3,700 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L) a runway extension to create a runway 12,000 feet in length (Sponsor's Proposed Project Alternative 5, a 2,000-foot extension to Runway 18R/36L). Along with the implementation of the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic and associated land use compatibility actions, and the landside and ancillary facilities, these projects together represent the Proposed Federal Action. These development alternatives provide a proposed project which best addresses the total composite of all the airport's needs. 3.4.1 Proposed Federal Action The Proposed Federal Action is to approve the Sponsor's Proposed Project which includes the construction of the proposed third north/south parallel runway at a 3,700-foot separation and the 2,000-foot southerly extension to Runway 18R/36L. The proposed construction of the new runway is the airport's preferred way of achieving sufficient airfield capacity and reducing delay during peak operating periods. The proposed construction of the 2,000-foot runway extension is its preferred way of achieving sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). Improved terminal gate capacity for commuter aircraft, and domestic and international jet aircraft along with the necessary supporting ancillary facilities would be accomplished through the expansion of the existing terminal and upgrading of the existing roadway and parking systems. A detailed description of the Sponsor's Proposed Project is listed below. Exhibit 3-2, along with Exhibits 2-1 through 2-10 shown previously, illustrate the locations of the Proposed Federal Action. The following paragraphs describe each of the airfield development items included in the Proposed Federal Action. • Construct a new 9,000-foot independent IFR approach runway, parallel to and 3,700 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L to improve airfield operational flexibility and result in increased capacity and reduced delay. • Site, purchase, install, and flight check all necessary navigation aids and lighting to support the proposed development • Implementation of necessary air traffic control procedures to support the proposed development ' CHARLOTTE/D000LAs INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-28 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE -ALTERNATIVES FINAL e • Extend Runway 18R/36L from its current length of 10,000 feet to a length of 12,000 feet by constructing a 2,000-foot southerly extension with parallel and connecting taxiways and associated lighting and navigational aids. • Relocate West Boulevard around the south end of the airport from east of Runway 36R west to the proposed I485 interchange and close Byrum Road to accommodate the extension to Runway 18R/36L. • Relocate Wallace-Neel Road, just east of and parallel to the proposed I-485 Outer Beltway, on airport property purchased for the new third parallel runway project. • Relocate Old Dowd Road to north of the new third parallel runway, keeping clear of the Runway 18R Runway Safety Area (RSA) and Runway Object Free Area (OFA) to accommodate the new proposed runway. • Extend Concourse A to accommodate additional jet bridges and additional aircraft parking positions in the near term for either current non-hub airlines or gates for an additional carrier to introduce service to CLT. • Extend Concourse B to provide 11 additional jet bridge positions (for a total of 27) capable of accommodating Boeing 757-size aircraft. The extension would supplement hub operations and accommodate the potential for lost jet positions on Concourse D associated with increased international demand. • Relocate.the Federal Inspection Services facilities within Concourse D, east of the expanded baggage claim area, to allow for the future expansion of the concourse. • Expand Concourse D to allow for additional hold rooms and related facilities to accommodate a larger seating capacity for wide-body international transoceanic aircraft. The concourse expansion would require the relocation of commuter aircraft parking positions currently located in this area. • Develop two remote concourses accessible from Concourse D, via underground passenger tunnels with moving walkways, to accommodate the increase in commuter aircraft traffic associated with hub operations. Each concourse would contain 17 parking positions (a total of 34). • Extend the lower level roadway to the east in front of the newly relocated FIS facility to expand the arrival-level curb frontage. • Reconfigure the ingress/egress of the existing parking structures only if a new parking structure and/or hotel is developed. This reconfiguration would require the relocation of the short-term and daily toll booths, development of hotel parking areas (either surface lots br parking deck), and an egress roadway for hotel patrons to bypass the toll booths. CHARLormffiomus INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-29 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE- ALTERNATIVES FINAL • Develop approximately 1,050 new auto parking spaces between the existing airport maintenance facility and the railroad right-of-way to accommodate projected passenger traffic at the new commuter concourse. Access to these lots can be maintained via the existing routes. • Relocate 1,410 auto parking spaces in the "green lot" to west of existing Runway End 18R and develop an additional 235 employee parking spaces. Access to the new employee lot would be provided via a roadway from Old Dowd Road. • Develop additional remote public parking facilities north of the terminal core area to the west of the existing remote parking facility. This new lot would use the existing toll plaza with minor expansion. • Relocate all the rental car facilities due to the development of the remote jet concourse. The area north of Wilkinson Boulevard would accommodate all relocation requirements and long-term expansion needs. Access would be via a connector road to Wilkinson Boulevard with airport access via Old Dowd Road. • Develop approximately 360 additional employee parking spaces in the area near the end of Runway 18R. • Develop approximately 420 additional spaces for remote parking facilities directly north of the terminal core area near the existing remote parking facilities. • Develop an additional parking structure immediately north of the existing parking decks. This development would be designed to either coincide with or be compatible with development of a hotel located on top of the parking deck. The development of an airport light rail system would be considered in the design of the parking structures and hotel to ensure that access to the main terminal building can be achieved. Implement noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions approved in the updated Noise Compatibility Program. NA4 Provide monthly reports on late night (11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) runway utilization and variances from NCP assumptions to Air Traffic Control Tower management and frequent nighttime operators. Conduct follow-up with FAA and carriers to enhance voluntary adherence to existing program. * New measure. NA-5 Designate Runways 18R or 18L as preferred for takeoffs by turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. when, under the current preferential runway use program, Runway 23 cannot be used for reasons of wind, weather, operational necessity, or required runway length.

New measure. NA-10 On construction of a third parallel runway west of Runway 18R/36L, establish an initial departure turn, as soon as practicable, by turbojets and four-engine prop aircraft to a heading of 315 degrees from Runway 35. New measure. • Acquire approximately 1,475 acres of land for airfield development that includes the acquisition and relocation of approximately 123 residential structures and 32 businesses to accommodate the proposed new runway. Compensate for impacts to approximately 2.0 acres of wetlands, 5,400 feet of intermittent streams, 6,780 feet of perennial streams (a total of 12,180 feet), 4.2 acres of identified open water-ponds, and 10,900 feet of identified small drains caused by the development of the Proposed Federal Action. 3.4.2 Alternatives to the Proposed Federal Action This chapter has summarized various alternatives to the Proposed Federal Action. Proposed Federal Action involves the proposed construction of a new 9,000-foot Runway 17/35 (future 18R/36L) with associated taxiway improvements, and the development of a 2,000-foot extension to existing Runway 18R/36L (future 18C/36C). This EIS also assesses the Federal action (which is part of each alternative) regarding installation of navigational aides, airspace use, and approach and departure procedures associated with the airside development along with the implementation of the following identified elements depicted on the proposed, revised ALP: terminal development projects to extend Concourse A, construct a new commuter concourse, extend the terminal building to relocate the Federal Inspection Services, extend the lower level roadway, extend Concourse B to provide 11 additional jet bridge positions, expand Concourse D to allow for additional hold rooms and related facilities, and develop two remote concourses accessible from Concourse D; landside development projects to expand Loop Road, relocate the rental car CHARLOTTEIDOUCL 4S INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-31 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL area, reconfigure the hotel ingress/egress, relocate employee parking, develop additional long-term parking; and roadway relocation projects for West Boulevard, Wallace Neel Road, and Old Dowd Road, acquire approximately 1,475 acres of land for proposed airfield development which includes the acquisition and relocation of approximately 123 residential structures and 32 businesses, and mitigate the potential impacts to approximately 2.0 acres of wetlands, 5,400 feet of intermittent streams, 6,780 feet of perennial streams (a total of 12,180 feet), 4.2 acres of identified open water-ponds, and 10,900 feet of identified small drains. As is noted, six feasible alternatives exist to the Proposed Federal Action: 1) the implementation of the 1997 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 1), 2) implementation of No-Action/No-Build (Alternative 2), 3) the implementation of the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 3), 4) the construction of a new third parallel runway at a 3,700-foot separation along with implementing the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 4), 5) the construction of a new third parallel runway at a 4,300-foot separation along with implementing the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 5), and 6) construct a 2,000-foot extension to Runway 18R/36L along with implementing the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 6). The following paragraphs describe the actions considered under each of the alternatives. Alternative 1: Implementation of the 1997 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only: The implementation of the 1997 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions shown in Exhibit 3-3, would abate the noise impacts generated by aircraft operations on the existing airfield configuration. Implementing these actions would not contribute directly to satisfying the need for sufficient airfield capacity, reduce delay during peak operating periods, or provide sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). The 1997 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I Measures. • Alternative 2: No Build/No Action Alternative: The No-Build/No-Action Alternative (2001 Baseline), shown in Exhibit 34, would result in the airport runway configuration remaining as it is today. Therefore, future demand requirements would not be satisfied, as identified in Chapter Two, Purpose and Need. Also, any existing negative environmental and operational impacts of the airport would not be reduced. Although this alternative may not be prudent, it is feasible, and is one of the alternatives considered throughout this FEIS. CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-32 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL V Alternative 3: Implementation of the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only: The implementation of the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions shown in Exhibit 3-5, would abate the noise impacts generated by aircraft operations on the existing airfield configuration with future projected operations. Implementing these actions would not contribute directly to satisfying the need for providing sufficient airfield capacity, for reducing delay during peak operating periods, or for providing sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I Measures. Alternative 4: Construction of a New Third Parallel Runway with a 3,700 foot Separation along with Implementing the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions: The development program for this alternative, shown in Exhibit 3-6, would be almost identical to that of the Proposed Federal Action. The primary difference is that the 2,000-foot extension to third Runway 18R/36L would not be constructed. This alternative would meet the stated need to provide sufficient airfield capacity and reduce delay during peak operating periods. However, without the development of the runway extension to provide for a 12,000-foot runway, the need to provide sufficient runway length in order to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim) would not be met. The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions to be implemented are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I and Phase II Measures. Alternative S: Construction of a New Third Parallel Runway with a 4,300 foot Separation along with Implementing the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions: The development program for this alternative, shown in Exhibit 3-7, would be almost identical to that of Alternative 4. The primary difference is that the third parallel north/south runway would be separated from existing Runway 18R/36L by a distance of 4,300 feet instead of 3,700 feet. The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions to be implemented are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I and Phase H Measures. • Alternative 6: 2,000-Foot Extension of Runway 18RI36L along with Implementing the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions: The development program for this alternative, shown in Exhibit 3-8, would require considerably less land to be acquired than the Proposed Federal Action -- 37 acres versus 1,475 acres (1,438 CHARLOTTE/DOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENvIRONMENT.IL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-33 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL acres for the proposed runway development and 37 acres for the proposed runway extension). There would be no residential or business construction impacts with this alternative. The 37 acres which would need to be acquired is primarily undeveloped/vacant or contains the right-of-way for West Boulevard. All other development projects (landside and ancillary facilities, and approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions), as identified in the Sponsor's Proposed Project, would be implemented. The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic to be implemented are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I and II Measures. 3.5 Regulatory Framework for the FAA's Consideration of Reasonable Alternatives Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FAA has a responsibility to explore and objectively evaluate all reasonable alternatives, including those beyond the jurisdiction of the FAA and CLT. For major Federal actions in which the Federal Government, as a proprietor, plans and develops a Federal facility, the scope of alternatives considered by the sponsoring Federal agency is wide ranging and comprehensive. However, where the sponsor is not the Federal Government, but is a local government or private applicant, the Federal agency role is necessarily more limited with substantial deference given to the preferences of the local sponsor. Federal agencies may consider the applicant's purposes and needs and common sense realities of a given situation in the development of alternatives. Federal agencies may also afford substantial weight to the alternative preferred by the applicant, provided there is no substantially superior alternative from an environmental standpoint. 3.5.1 Discussion The FAA does not initiate airport development projects. Such projects require the involvement of a local sponsor, which for the proposed action would be provided by the City of Charlotte. It is, therefore, appropriate for the FAA to give substantial deference to the recommendations of the sponsor in identifying reasonable alternatives and considering whether alternatives meet both the national policy objectives expressed in the National Transportation Policy (NTP) and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), and the purposes and needs of CLT. The FAA has identified and analyzed a wide range of both location and facility design alternatives for meeting the purposes and needs presented in Chapter Two, Purpose and Need. The FAA has applied a comprehensive range of operational, economic, engineering, and environmental criteria in assessing whether alternatives would be feasible and prudent, practicable, or reasonable. Through this process, the sponsor and the FAA identified the Proposed Federal Action as its preferred alternative for meeting the purpose and need. The FAA has independently reviewed the airport's process and has concluded that is was acceptable and also appears consistent with the public policy objectives of the National Transportation Policy Act and ISTEA. CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-34 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL W The FAA has selected its preferred alternative (2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions with a third parallel runway at 3,700- foot separation and a 2,000-foot extension on the south end of Runway 18R/36L) which satisfies those considerations consistent with the stated purpose and need. The FAA has also found this alternative to be the least environmentally damaging practical alternative, or otherwise known as the environmentally preferred alternative. Accordingly, the reasonable alternatives selected by the FAA for detailed analysis in this EIS include: • 1997 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only (Alternative 1) • 2001 Baseline (No-Build/No-Action) (Alternative 2) • 2001 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only (Alternative 3) • 2001 Noise Compatibility (Alternative 4) • 2001 Noise Compatibility (Alternative 5) Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Actions with a Third Parallel Runway at 3,700-Foot Separation Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Actions with a Third Parallel Runway at 4,300-Foot Separation • 2001 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions And Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions with 2,000-Foot Extension on the South End of Runway 18R/36L (Alternative 6) • 2001 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions with a Third Parallel Runway at 3,700-Foot Separation and a 2,000-Foot Extension on the South End of Runway 18R/36L (Proposed Federal Action, Alternative 7) SA99CLI'TrNAL_TO PRINTER_NOV-1999THAP-3 DOC CHARLOTTEIDouGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT November, 1999 Page 3-35 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK c,HARLO77,FI,U00OL4S INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT November, 1999 Ip .0 ?+ 1 x- 1 I 1 , 0 O ,1 Ij 1 1 1 1 1 1 r+ y C O N `rte-- \- -,\^,? `111 \-?\` ?\_,? ?1-J ,\_,? ai-! \-?\ \_-I -,\`, i -/ ? 1 E = ??? ??, y ?`? ` _ ?_, N f p R C7 7 , , ov Z 0 >?

The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). Phase I of the project includes expansion of an existing runway and the development of a new runway. Impacts proposed for the first phase of the project are 5,450 linear feet of important intermittent and perennial streams, 528 linear feet of unimportant intermittent channel, 0.652 acres of wetlands and 0.176 acres of ponds. The proposed first phase alternative being pursued extends Runway 18RJ36L to a length of 12,000 feet and the relocation of West Boulevard. No federal or state listed endangered or threatened species are indicated to be affected by the project. Best Management Practices (BMP) are proposed for the construction phases of the project. Mitigation is indicated to be available for purchase from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Stormwater Services wetland and stream mitigation bank.

Fogo, Private Lands Biologist, US Fish and Wildlife Service RESTORATION If you discover a potential prairie remnant, it is recommended that you reestablish fire into the ecosystem and thin the site depending on your goals for prairie, savannah, or woodland. Thinning a site will allow sunlight to reach the forest floor to encourage herbaceous plants to grow. Your native understory vegetation may already be there and it may not be necessary to plant. See Piedmont Prairies and a Partnership, to reference associated community types to look for. CREATION/REESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIVE PRAIRIE Seed Source: Try to obtain local genotypes of native plant material to reestablish a prairie. I only recommend buying seed from outside NC if it's a creation project or the local genotypes are not available or present. There is limited availability of NC grass seed from nursery growers. There are commercial nurseries that provide local plants and seed. If you have the time and want only local seed sources, it will take more effort. For large scale restoration, some projects may want to go ahead and purchase seeds. It is agreed by the partnership to collect local seed from remnant sites and roadside populations for trying to restore remnant prairies. Planting associated prairie species provides habitat for migratory songbirds and other early successional wildlife dependant species. Native Warm Season Grasses (NWSG): Attached are commercial native seed sources and planting guides to establish NWSG prepared by Bob Glennon, USFWS. He mentions applying fertilizer the year after it is established. These grasses are fertilized to grow hay (forage) for cows as far as a productivity production, however, it will encourage undesirable weedy competition. It has been recommended only to lime according to your soil's needs. These grasses are native and grow on poor sites anyway and are not used to having good nutrients. I would re-evaluate after a year and establishment. Remember that it may take at least two years to see good results on the NWSG. Bob has done a great job on explaining methods: using a seed drill, calibrations, seeding depths, etc. Follow his instructions. When planting, drilling is best, but if you cannot, broad cast and run a cultapacker over it. You can plant the different ones at the same time (except gama) and place them in the appropriate seed boxes in the no-till drill. You put the fluffy-chaffy ones, big blue, little blue, and Indian grass in the chaffy seed box and plant 1/4" seed depth. The small box is used for smooth grass seeds like switch grass and gama. He said to make a separate pass for the gama grass at 1" seed depth. Planting times: For NWSG, it is recommended, to plant in the fall after Thanksgiving, after the first killing frost (Oct. 31 Piedmont-Nov. Coast) until the last killing frost in the spring (March 15 on the coast, April 1 for most of the state, April 15 in the west). As soon as you have the site prepared, you might want to plant winter annuals such as winter wheat, barley, and CLT-Douglas International Airport 404 September 23, 2005 Figure 1.

In the late 1980's the FAA sponsored an Airport Capacity Enhancement Study, which culminated in the 1991 CLT Capacity Enhancement Plan. The FAA sponsored capacity study identified demand levels at which CLT should operate or suffer consequence of delays. Thereafter, a Master Plan was prepared by the City of Charlotte, which indicated the existing airport runway system is beyond its calculated Annual Service Volume capacity and the baseline activity levels identified in the 1991 Capacity Study were exceeded which triggered the need to increase the capacity of the airport. If the capacity of the airport was not increased, the airport would suffer operational delays. The 1991 Capacity Study recommended the construction of a third parallel runway as the most beneficial development proposal to increase capacity at CLT and at the same time reduce operational delays. In 1998, the City of Charlotte completed an update of the current Airport Master Plan. The recommendations of the updated master plan and developments were assessed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) submitted in November of 1999. The Record of Decision (ROD) for the proposed expansion of CLT was signed April 28, 2000. This application proposes impacts to jurisdictional wetlands/waters of the US for several of the proposed airport improvements listed below in Section 2.0 (Proposed Activity). The specific project purposes that are proposed in this phase include the extension of runway 18R/36L, relocation of West Boulevard, and relocation a portion of Old Dowd Road. These three proposed activities are essential and independent of future expansion considerations. A Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) is being 1 prepared that will further studies of the alignment for the proposed third runway and the relocation of portions of Wallace Neal Road west of Interstate 485. 1.1 Project Site The proposed project is located within the CLT Expansion Area of approximately 2,500 acres of land in the City of Charlotte, North Carolina (Figure 2). The proposed project footprint comprises approximately 60 acres within the project expansion area. The airport is bounded to the north by US. 74 Wilkinson Boulevard. To the east the project is bounded by existing Runway 18R/36L. The southern project boundary is located just south of Byrum Drive. To the west, Interstate 485 Outer Beltway is under construction and creates a definitive boundary for the airport. 1.2 Project Purpose The specific purposes of this project is to provide sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand; provide sufficient ancillary facilities to support the potential increase in air and ground transportation demand; and minimize potential impacts on human health and environment by reducing noise impacts on the surrounding communities. The specific project purposes that are proposed in this phase include the extension of runway 18R/36L, relocation of West Boulevard, and relocation a portion of Old Dowd Road. These three proposed activities are essential and independent of future expansion considerations. They are necessary whether the third proposed runway is located on the eastern side of I-485 as currently approved in the ROD or located on t the west side of I-485 as being proposed under the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) under preparation. 1.3 Public Involvement The public was afforded numerous opportunities through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process to evaluate the proposal for airport expansion and provide 2 comments on those proposals. The evaluation periods included public notices March 31, 1995, Federal Register, Public notice in newspapers announcing meetings November 14- 18, 1995; agency scoping meeting December 13, 1995 1:00 pm; public scoping meeting December 13, 1995, 6:00 pm; notice of availability for the Draft EIS; and a public information workshop and public hearing held on August 27, 1998. The FAA in preparation of the Final EIS carefully considered all comments received from the public as well as from Federal, State, and local agencies. • • 3 • 2.0 PROPOSED ACTIVITY (PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE) The proposed Wetland Master Plan (PLAN) includes impacts to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdictional waters of the U.S. including wetlands for construction of a runway extension (18R/36L, taxiways (F and Echo), road relocations (West Boulevard and a portion of Old Dowd Road). The following is a description of activities for the preferred alternative: Extension of Runway 18R/36L to a length of 12,000 feet by constructing a 2,000 foot southerly extension with parallel and connecting taxiways and associated lighting. Additionally, the southerly extension was selected because it provides the necessary length for long haul capacity and provides the most efficient use of the airport for 0 departures with the least environmental impact. Relocation of West Boulevard around the south end of the airport from the eastern end of Runway 36R and closure of Byrum Road; Relocation of the northern portion of Old Dowd Road, just east of I-485 Outer Beltway (the final alignment of Wallace Neal Road will either be parallel to I-485 on the east or west side). The Wallace Neal Road and third runway alternatives are under discussion in the forthcoming Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. • To accomplish these activities the applicant proposes to impact 5,450 linear feet of perennial and intermittent "importantl" streams, 528 linear feet of unimportant intermittent channels, 0.176 acres of open waters/ponds, and 0.652 acres of wetlands. Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S./wetlands were delineated throughout the study area and verified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on January 8, 2001. 1 USACE Stream Evaluation form 4 Due to the extensive project proposal and the necessary time to construct these projects, the Project applicant is requesting that this Individual Permit be valid for a period of 7 years from the date of issuance. • • 5 3.0 ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS An alternative analysis was conducted as part of the FEIS process for the proposed expansion of CLT. While written for the FEIS, this Alternative Analysis gave consideration to practicable and reasonable alternatives and adequately complies with Section 404(b)(1) guidelines and is attached in Appendix A. This discussion of alternatives is submitted by the Applicant to assist the Wilmington District, USACE in evaluating the application for authorization to discharge dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1344 for CLT expansion in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. An analysis of the Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines requirements for consideration of alternatives as required by 40 C.F.R. 230.10(a) is set forth below. The Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines Alternatives requirements provide that "no discharge of dredged or fill material shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem, so long as the alternative does not have other significant adverse environmental consequences." [See 40 C.F.R. 230.10(a) (emphasis added).] The record must contain "sufficient information to demonstrate that the proposed discharge complies with the requirements of Section 230.10(a) of the Guidelines. The amount of information needed to make such a determination and the level of scrutiny required by the Guidelines is commensurate with the severity of the environmental impact (as determined by the functions of the aquatic resource and the nature of the proposed activity) and the scope/cost of the project." [See ACOE/EPA Memorandum to the Field "Appropriate Level of Analysis Required for Evaluating Compliance with Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines Alternatives Requirements," p. 2, dated August 23, 1994, hereinafter the "Memorandum."] As noted in the Memorandum at pages 3-4, the 404(b)(1) Guidelines "only prohibits discharges when a practicable alternative exists which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem." [See Memorandum.] "If an alleged alternative is unreasonably expensive to the applicant, the alternative is not practicable." 6 [See Guidelines Preamble, "Economic Factors," 45 Federal Register 85343 (December 24, 1980).] Practicable alternatives for the project are those alternatives that are "available and capable of being done after taking into consideration costs, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall project purposes." [See 40 C.F.R. 230.10(a)(2).] Clarification is provided in the Preamble to the Guidelines on how cost is to be considered in the determination of practicability. An alternative site is considered "available" if it is presently owned by the applicant or "could reasonably be obtained, utilized, expanded or managed in order to fulfill the basic purpose of the proposed activity." 40 C.F.R. § 230.10(a)(2). Our intent is to consider those alternatives, which are reasonable in terms of the overall scope/cost of the proposed project. The term economic [for which the term "costs" was substituted in the final rule] might be construed to include consideration of the applicant's financial standing, or investment, or market share, a cumbersome inquiry which is not necessarily material to the objectives of the Guidelines. The EPA 404(b)(1) Guidelines state that, "we have chosen instead to impose an explicit, but rebuttable presumption that alternatives to discharges in special aquatic sites are less damaging to the aquatic ecosystem, and are environmentally preferable." Of course, the general requirements that impacts to the aquatic system not be acceptable also applies. This presumption "...contains sufficient flexibility to reflect circumstances of unusual cases" (249 Fed. Reg., 85339, December 24, 1980). It is clear from these stipulations that a preferable alternative may allow filling in certain wetland areas and subsequent mitigation and/or management of other areas. The wetlands and streams estimate in the FEIS Alternative Analysis vary from current impacts because the wetlands and streams had not been surveyed and verified by the USACE. However, the conclusions and recommendations of this report remain valid taking into consideration the changes in total impact. 7 The alternative analysis address the proposed projects discussed in this application as well as the proposed third runway and relocation of Wallace Neal Road. The alternative analysis is valid for the projects in this application as it was approved in the ROD, provides the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative. In addition, the forthcoming Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement will not address the projects proposed in this application as there are no changes and no new alternatives considered. Therefore, the applicant believes that the attached discussion of alternatives, together with other documents submitted by the applicant in support of its 404 Permit, shows that the project complies with the guidelines and promotes public interest. • 1?1 8 • 4.0 HABITAT DESCRIPTIONS The 2,500-acre site consists mostly of upland areas. There are 21.76 acres of jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. including wetlands. The site was delineated between September and November 2000 and verified by the USACE on January 8, 2001. A description of vegetation habitats is summarized below from data collected for the Report on Biotic Communities, Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (Environment and Archeology for the Environmental Impact Statement, November 1997). 4.1 Oak-Pine-Hickory Forest The study area was predominately secondary forest situated on a soil moisture gradient ranging from sub-mesic to well drained. Typical species in the forests were white oak (Quercus alba), blackjack oak (Q. marilandica), willow oak (Q. phellos), red oak (Q. rubra), southern red oak (Q. falcate), red maple (Acer rubrum), mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa), pignut hickory (C. glabra), sweet pignut (C. ovalis), Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana), shortleaf pine (P. echinata), and red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). Subdominant species were hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), basswood (Tilia heterophylla), beech (Fagus americana), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), white ash (Fraxinus americana), and black walnut (Juglans nigra). Understory species were comprised of slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), blueberry (Vaccinium atrococcum), silverberry (Eleaganus umbellate), red cedar, strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus), black haw (Viburnum prunifolium), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), black cherry (Prunus serotina), winged sumac (Rhus copallina), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), red bud (Cercis canadensis), and American holly (Ilex opaca). Woody vines included Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), moonseed (Menispermum canadense), kudzu-vine (Pueraria lobata), Carolina rose (Rosa caroling), muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis), greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). 9 • The herb layer was composed of bluegrass Poa. SPP ), fescue (Festuca s generally ( PP ), ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and sedges (Carex spp.). Common forbs included five-finger (Potentilla canadensis), bedstraw (Galium aparine), wild licorice (G. circaezans), cranesbill (Geranium carolinianum), mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), violets (Viola sororia), wild ginger (Asarum canadensis), snakeroot (Sanicula gregaria, S. canadense), wild strawberry (Fragaria virginica), spotted wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata), puttyroot (Aplectrum hyemale), sweet cicely (Osmorhiza claytonii), liver-leaf (Hepatica americana), and bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis). Woodland ferns common in the survey area included Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), wood fern (Dryopteris marginalis), grape fern (Botrychium dissectum), rattlesnake fern (B. virginianum), and ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron). 4.2 Bottomland Forests Shafale and Weakley (1990) reserve the term bottomland forest for floodplain ridges and terraces. Thus, the moist woodlands found adjacent to intermittent streams, drainageways, and ponds were identified as Alluvial/Upland Depression Swamp Forests (Report on Biotic Communities). Dominant tree species included tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), sweet gum, sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), box elder (Acer negundo), cottonwood (Populus deltoids), and black willow (Salix nigra). The understory community was composed of river birch (Betula nigra), America hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), and smooth alder (Alnus serrulata), in addition to the trees listed above. The herb layer contained sedges (Carex vulpinoidea, C. frankii, C. crinata, C. spp.), bedstraw (Galium aparine), spotted touch-me-not (Impatiens capensis), snakeroot, golden ragwort (Senecio aureus), white avens (Geum canadense), jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), stonecrop (Sedum ternatum), and the exotic, invasive grass (Eulalia viminea). • 10 0 4.3 Old Field and Scrub/Shrub Old-field growth was identified in scattered areas throughout the survey area, but predominantly within the existing airport property. Widely dispersed empress-trees (Paulownia tomentosa), though not dominant, were observed colonizing old-field and scrub/shrub areas at CLT. Grasses such as Canada bluegrass (Poa compressa), Kentucky bluegrass (P. pratensis), timothy (Phleum pratense), red fescue (Festuca rubra), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), green foxtail grass (Setaria viridis), and orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) were common. Broadleaf herbaceous species included goldenrod (Solidago spp.), common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), curly dock (Rumex crispus), ox- eye daisy (Chrysanthium leucantheum), wild carrot (Daucus carota), poke (Phytolacca americana) bush clover (Lespedeza spp.), tick-trefoil (Desmodium spp.), mugwort (Artemisia vularis), small white aster (Aster vimineus), blackberry (Rubus spp.) and ragweed (Ambrosia spp.) 0 4.4 Urban-Industrial-Turf Turf grass or maintained lawns were identified in the vicinity of the existing airport facility and at commercial and residential properties in the study area. These areas undergo regular mowing. Vegetation in these areas was dominated by a variety of introduced grasses including perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), redtop (Agrostis gigantea), red fescue, Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), and annual bluegrass (P. annua). Other common herbaceous species included dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), lyre-leaf sage (Salvia lyrata), yellow wood sorrel (Oxalis stricta, O. europea), common plantain (Plantago major), lance leaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata), and white clover (Trifolium repens). A large percentage of the project areas is covered with roads and other hard surfaces or impervious coatings. • 11 0 4.5 Disturbed - Unvegetated Examples of this land use were observed in the soil harvesting operations or borrow areas conducted by outside contractors on behalf of CLT, which covered approximately 153 acres in the project area. This land use fluctuates with Old Field vegetation. A demolition debris disposal area covers approximately 18 acres of the airport property north of Old Dowd Road. Another 37 acres of disturbed land is located south of Byrum Road. 4.6 Wetlands Vegetated wetlands were delineated throughout of the study area. Total acreage of wetlands in the study areas is 3.78 acres (Table 1). Wetlands were subdivided into three types based on the plant communities: 1.) Palustrine Scrub/Shrub and Emergent Wetlands describes areas with an open canopy of small broad-leaf deciduous trees and/or broad-leaf deciduous shrubs and an extensive persistent herb layer; 2.) Palustrine Emergent and Scrub/Shrub Wetland is a mixed-vegetation wetlands type described a single area dominated by herbaceous ground cover but was surrounded by small broad- leaf deciduous trees and/or broad-leaf deciduous shrubs and 3.) Palustrine Forest and Scrub/Shrub Wetlands are wetland forests in the project area, which were characterized by widely-spaced mature broad-leaf deciduous trees and densely-packed broad-leaf deciduous shrubs. 4.7 Open Water/Ponds A total of eight ponds were identified within the study area. The total acreage of open water in the study area was estimated to be 8.60 acres (Table 2). These water bodies are itemized in Table 2. Six of these are impoundments are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and are located on intermittent streams. Two of the ponds are isolated and non- jurisdictional. Common shoreline vegetation of the water bodies consisted of smooth alder, cottonwood, sycamore, and willow. Scrub/shrub growth along pond borders 12 included alder, slippery elm, buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), swamp rose, multiflora rose, and blackberry. Floating aquatic vegetation was present in the larger bodies of open water and included pondweed (Potamogeton crispus), duckweed (Lemma minor), and coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum). 4.8 Streams The study area contains a variety of both permanent (Coffey Creek and Ticer Creek), the upper reaches of named intermittent streams (Little Paw Creek and Beaverdam Creek), and numerous headwaters of small unnamed intermittent streams. On-site meetings were conducted on August 20-21, 2003 with Ms. Amanda Jones (USACE), Becky Fox (EPA), Dave Penrose (NCDWQ), Alan Johnson (DWQ), and Clement Riddle (C1earWater Environmental Consultants, Inc.) to confirm the classification and condition of stream segments within the project area. 0 4.8.1 Perennial Streams Ticer Creek and Coffee Creek are the only U.S.G.S perennial streams found on- site. These streams have water flow throughout the year. Because of the year around flow and swiftness of the water current there is no rooted vegetation in these streams. Biological indicators observed in these streams included fish, crayfish, and small invertebrates. Vegetation along the banks of these streams varied but generally has a large canopy that is dominated by American sycamore, yellow poplar, eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), and red maple. Saplings of the above species dominated the scrub/shrub layer along the streambed and banks. The herbaceous layer was dominated by Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), and blackberry. • 13 0 4.8.2 Intermittent Streams The intermittent streams located within the project boundary have moderate flow most of the year. In other parts of the year, these streams have little or no flow and are filled with leaf litter. The moderate flow does not allow rooted vegetation to thrive. These streams were observed to have stable stream banks, scattered persistent pools, channel substrate and biological indicators such as crayfish and amphibians were observed in and around persistent pools. Vegetation in the riparian areas included American sycamore, yellow poplar, eastern white pine, and southern red oak (Quercus falcata). The scrub/shrub layer was dominated by saplings of all of the above species and included sweet gum. The herbaceous layer is dominated by Christmas fern, ebony spleenwort, blackberry, and greenbrier. 0 4.8.3 Unimportant Intermittent Streams2 "Unimportant" intermittent streams within the project boundary have little or no flow most of the year. There is little vegetation in the beds of these streams because they are mostly filled with silt that occurs during heavy amounts of rainfall. Along with silt there is a high content of leaf litter on the streambed. These streams lack a persistent flow, stable stream banks, crawfish, minnows, in- stream habitat structure, adjacent wetlands, and rifle pool structures typically observed in higher quality intermittent streams. Stream Evaluation Forms are attached in Appendix D. The classification of these streams was verified in the field by Mr. Dave Penrose, (DWQ) and Ms. Amada Jones (USACE) In August 2003. • 2 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Intermittent Stream Channel Evaluation Form 14 • 5.0 FEDERALLY LISTED SPECIES Surveys were performed for federally protected species as part of the Environmental Impact Statement. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concurred in their December 4, 1998 letter that the project will not affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. In order to update this study, CLT plans to conduct surveys within the proposed project areas during the flowering season (September) for listed species known to occur in Mecklenburg County (Helianthus schweinitzii). A copy of this report will be forwarded to the USACE and USFWS. • • 15 6.0 MITIGATION PLAN The site assessment identified and evaluated potential impacts to the wetlands and streams occurring on the project site. To compensate for the unavoidable loss of stream habitat, CLT will provide for a "no net loss" of jurisdictional streams habitat and associated functions and values. 6.1 Avoidance Wetland and stream impacts associated with this proposed project are unable to be avoided onsite due to the scope of proposed development and its location, which is adjacent to existing CLT facilities. Because the site is covered in long linear stream segments, it would be impossible to avoid all of these streams while continuing to maintain a rational project design and the flexibility needed to construct a large scale master planned airport transportation complex. Options for locating the proposed projects are severely limited as the proposed projects are linear in nature and have existing fixed structures in place. (i.e. runway extension has to be at the existing runway). CLT foresees continuing expansion and development of the airport facilities in the future. Due to the location of the existing airport and the expected potential for aviation and transportation related development it is anticipated that significant portions of the site will be developed for transportation related activities. Therefore, it is likely that CLT will apply for a Section 404 permit and 401 Water Quality Certification for future projects. 6.2 Minimization Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented during the grading and filling phases of the project. Best management practices (BMP) will be employed to minimize the impacts to wetlands and streams adjacent to the proposed airport expansion. The BMP's which may be employed include siltation barriers and 16 sediment traps. The BMP's will be the most useful and successful method of mitigation to minimize disturbance of natural stream and wetland functions. 6.3 Compensatory Mitigation On-site areas are not considered feasible for stream mitigation as the site is being proposed for development and FAA requirements severely restrict opportunities on-site. Either one of or combination of the following will be used to provide adequate mitigation. • Purchase Mitigation Credits from the approved Mecklenburg County/City of Charlotte Stormwater Services Stream and Wetland mitigation bank. • Other off-site restoration approved by the USACE and DWQ Charlotte-Mecklenburg Stormwater Services operates a wetland and stream mitigation bank to offset impacts to jurisdictional areas as a result of public projects. This Mitigation Bank was approved by the multi-agency review team on July 16, 2004 and will have 12,800 linear feet of restoration credits available. CLT proposes to purchase credits in this mitigation bank to offset impacts as proposed in this application. CLT does not propose mitigation for wetland impacts at this time as impacts are limited to 0.662 acres in this phase. CLT recognizes that any additional impacts to wetlands and streams will be considered cumulative impacts. Therefore, if/when future impacts greater than .338 acres occur, then CLT will provide compensatory mitigation for the total amount of wetland impacts. This is consistent with the 401 Certification rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500). • 17 • 7.0 STORMWATER A final stormwater management plan will be designed by Talbert and Bright, Inc. to satisfy the future stormwater treatment needs of the proposed development. These plans will be prepared and submitted for review when runway and taxiway design drawings are prepared. The stormwater management facilities will be designed using the Stormwater Best Management Practices, NCDENR 1999. These stormwater management techniques will direct stormwater into FAA approved stormwater measures from the impervious area associated with the runways and taxiways. Following coordination with the NC Division of Water Quality (March 15, 2005), CLT will incorporate extended detention wetlands to treat the stormwater associated with the proposed project. Potential locations for the extended detention stormwater wetland areas for runway 18R/36L are indicated on the enclosed site plan. These stormwater features are designed to provide removal of suspended solids, nutrients, and pollutants from incoming stormwater. Design parameters include the provision of sufficient surface area to promote settling of potential pollutants. The stormwater management plan and maintenance agreement will be approved by NC Division of Water Quality prior to impacts to streams. Stormwater treatment is a requirement under the 401 Water Quality Certification and may require periodic maintenance to meet stormwater plan requirements. C, 18 • 8.0 SUMMARY CLT expansion actives listed above will be implemented in phases, and because of the scope of planned expansion activities, the long-term commitment to public need, public resources, and lack of alternatives the applicant is proposing a 7-year permit. By master planning the project, the applicant proposes compensatory mitigation up-front or concurrent with development phases. • 0 19 C7 • *11 na c CD rA 0 { NV- ximate Project Bm Diap a&k^ • r?n chfp•rtt?p,l,l ind lotto (CL ,• \ i l ` 1 ?¦ I % ¦ 1 11• ' nw.' a 40 r• Ir aniL ?-? . . lulu D•m I? ^ U E ?

The second phase evaluation was to examine the shortlisted alternatives in greater detail and modify those alternatives based on additional analysis. The initial "jump-start" evaluation resulted in a shortlist of alternatives that satisfied the following CLT (airport sponsor) criteria: meet the 20-year arrival and .departure demand requirements, minimize off-airport impacts, minimize on-airport impacts, and maximize runway use flexibility. The conclusions reached from this evaluation were: • New runway development to the east of the existing airfield would be more disruptive to the neighboring community, has higher development cost, and conflicts with the use of Runway 23 for arrivals. • New runways less than 7,000 feet in length do not serve jet aircraft which is the predominant aircraft using CLT. Shorter runways, which do not serve jet aircraft, do not deliver sufficient capacity to serve future capacity needs of the airport. • New parallel runways which are spaced less than 2,500 feet from current • runways cannot serve as a third arrival or a third departure runway. • While there is some need for additional departure runway capacity, the predominant need for additional runway capacity is for arrivals.. Thus, runway lengths in excess of 9,000 feet are not necessary, because this length is sufficient to serve all aircraft in the airlines' fleets. The result of the "jump-start" process was the selection of three airfield development concepts that were proposed to be carried forward for further analysis. The shortlist of alternatives included: • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 2,500 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L New 9,000-foot runway spaced 3,400 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 5,000 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L All of the proposed runway development alternatives would require acquisition of all the land west of the airport to the proposed Outer Beltway (I-485) in order to accommodate the runway and associated parallel and connector taxiways. Residential and commercial properties in this area would need to be acquired and relocated. CHARLomEffiouG sINTERNATIONALAIRPORTENVIRONMENTALIMPACTSTATEMENT Page 3-20 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL The second phase of the evaluation process evaluated the selected alternatives on the following criteria: additional peak-period capacity, acceptable taxiing distances and times, development costs, aircraft noise impacts, long-range development preservation (beyond the 20-year Master Plan horizon development requirements), and compatibility with future FAA ATC technological advances. In addition to the shortlisted alternatives, the proposed runway alternative from the previous Master Plan was included as part of the evaluation process. This alternative, a parallel runway at a separation of 1,200 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L, does not meet the airside facility requirements as identified. However, it was necessary to draw a comparison to the shortlisted alternatives. The three shortlisted alternatives were modified to account for separation requirements associated with the runway threshold staggers. Also, the runway separation standard was reduced by the FAA in 1996 from 5,000 feet to 4,300 feet. Therefore, 4,300 feet of separation is the minimum separation that is required to conduct triple independent instrument (IFR-instrument flight rules) operations. As a result, the following alternatives were included in the detailed evaluation process: • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 1,200 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L'o • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 2,700 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L31 • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 3,700 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L32 • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 4,300 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L31 Exhibit 3-1 shows all of the runway configuration alternatives in the Sponsor's Proposed Action evaluation. The close-in alternatives (1,200 feet and 2,700 feet separation) were eliminated from further analysis because neither would provide the capability of triple independent arrivals under IFR. Both alternatives would cause operational delays for both arriving and departing traffic and result in noise events occurring into the more sensitive nighttime hours.34 There would also be direct overflights of three schools located south of the airport. In addition, neither alternative would be compatible with future air traffic control technology advances because it is not likely that future technology would allow triple independent IFR arrivals at these proposed separations. 3o This alternative is referred to as "Alternative A" in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 31 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative B" in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 32 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative C" in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 33 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative D" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 34 Operational delays would increase the likelihood that the arrival and departure times of aircraft would be deferred to the nighttime hours -- between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. CHARLOTTE/DouGLAs INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-21 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL The construction of a 9,000-foot north/south parallel runway, spaced approximately 1,200 feet or 2,700 feet west of existing Runway 18RI36L would not meet the need (as outlined in Chapter Two) of providing sufficient airfield capacity or reducing delay during peak operating periods. Therefore, these alternatives are not carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 9,000-Foot North/South Parallel Runway, Spaced Approximately 3,700 Feet West of Existing Runway 18R/36L This alternative provides additional peak-period capacity allowing for independent arrivals and departures during VFR (visual flight rules); independent departures during IFR, and dependent arrivals during IFR (instrument flight rules). Taxiing distance and times would be longer than is currently experienced between the two existing parallel runways. The development cost is estimated at $59.4 million, which is in the mid-range of the alternatives to develop. This alternative provides for delay reduction, thereby reducing delays into the night (noise-sensitive) hours." The development of this option provides adequate area to locate a future parallel runway between existing Runway 18R/36L and the proposed third parallel runway at a 3,700-foot separation. This alternative would ensure adequate area to accommodate long-range airport development and ensure compatible land use planning near the airport. This alternative would be compatible with future ATC technology advancements. It is highly likely that future technology would permit triple IFR arrivals prior to the requirement to develop a fourth parallel runway. The construction of a 9, 000 foot north/south parallel runway, spaced approximately 3,700 feet west of existing Runway 18RI36L would meet the need (as outlined in Chapter Two) of providing sufficient airfield capacity or reducing delay during peak operating periods. Therefore, this alternative is carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 9,000-Foot North/South Parallel Runway, Spaced Approximately 4,300 Feet West of Existing Runway 18R/36L This alternative provides additional peak period capacity allowing for independent arrivals and departures during. VFR, independent departures during IFR, and independent arrivals during IFR. . This alternative provides the highest delay reduction benefits. The taxiing distance and times would be the highest of all alternatives. The development cost is estimated at $63.2 million, which makes it the highest cost of all of the alternatives to develop. In addition, this option would • 35 See Footnote 31. CHARLOTTE/DOUCLAs INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-22 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE- ALTERNATIVES FINAL W • require the westward relocation of the proposed I-485 Outer Beltway to accommodate the applicable safety areas and satisfy FAA obstruction [FAR Part 77] requirements. Noise impacts would be spread into areas west of I-485 and arrivals would be routed directly over residential areas north of the airport. Ground noise would be moved nearer residential areas west of airport. Like the 3,700-foot alternative discussed in the previous section, the development of this alternative provides adequate area to locate a future parallel runway between existing Runway 18R/36L and the proposed third parallel runway. This would ensure adequate area to accommodate long-range airport development and ensure compatible land use planning near the airport. Also, a reconfiguration of the planned Outer Beltway may delay the implementation of the new runway development beyond the proposed phasing schedule (Phase I). This alternative is also compatible with future ATC technology enhancements. The construction of a 9, 000 foot north/south parallel runway, spaced approximately 4,300 feet west of existing Runway 18RI36L would meet the needs (as outlined in Chapter Two) of providing sufficient airfield capacity and reducing delay during peak operating periods. Therefore, this alternative is carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 0- 3.3.1.2 Runway Extension Alternatives The airfield requirement analysis performed in this environmental analysis resulted in the recommendation of 12,000 feet of departure capability. This runway length would enable a Boeing 747-200 to serve destinations on the Pacific Rim on a warm summer day with no payload restrictions. All three existing runways (18L/36R, 18R/36L, and 5/23), as well as the proposed third parallel runway were considered as candidates for a runway extension. Extension of Runway 5/23 Extending Runway 5/23 would require an extension of 4,499 feet to provide 12,000 feet in departure capacity. It would not be feasible to extend this runway to the northeast due to the proximity and location of Norfolk Southern Railroad, Josh Birmingham Parkway, and Billy Graham Parkway. Extending this runway to the southwest would create a runway intersection with Runway 18R/36L causing additional air traffic control coordination effort. Therefore, the proposed extension to Runway 5123 was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. Extension of Runwav 18L/36R Extending Runway 18L/36R would require an extension of at least 3,800 feet • to provide 12,000-foot departure capability. A 3,800-foot extension would be necessary to provide the requisite safety area on Runway 18L. It would not be CHARLO77E1DOUCL,4s INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-23 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL • feasible to extend this runway to the north due to the proximity and location of Norfolk Southern Railroad and the Josh Birmingham Parkway. An extension to the south would require the relocation of West Boulevard, Byrum Drive, and require the reconfiguration of the West Boulevard/Yorkmont Road intersection and would require the airport to acquire a large amount of land to accommodate the runway and affected roadways. Therefore, the proposed extension to Runway 18LI36R was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. Extension of the Proposed Third Parallel Runway Four extension options were identified to achieve a 12,000-foot departure capability on the proposed third parallel runway."' None of these options were considered for further analysis because, from an airfield operational perspective, departures should be conducted on the runway(s) closest to the terminal area and the proposed third parallel runway would be located farthest from the terminal area. In addition, there would be increased taxi time and distance for aircraft to reach the departure ends of the proposed runway particularly with any type of a runway extension. For these two reasons, the proposed extension to the proposed new runway was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. Extension of Runwav 18R/36L Two alternatives to extend existing Runway 18R/36L to 12,000 feet were identified.37 The first alternative proposed extensions of 1,294 feet to the north end and 562 feet to the south end and required the use of declared distance criteria to provide adequate runway end safety areas. However, with these extensions, and by applying the declared distance criteria, only a maximum take-off distance of 11,506 feet in each direction could be achieved. This distance, however falls 494 feet short of the 12,000-foot requirement identified. Therefore, the proposed extension to Runway 18RI36L was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. The second alternative to extending Runway 18R/36L to 12,000 requires relocating either West Boulevard or the Norfolk and Southern Railroad. Of these two options, the Sponsor's Proposed Action determined that relocating West Boulevard cost less than relocating the railroad. Therefore, the Sponsor's 36 These alternatives are referred to as "Alternative I," "Alternative 2," "Alternative 3," and "Alternative 4" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 37 These alternatives are referred to as "Alternative 5" and "Alternative 6" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. CHARLOTTE1D000L 4s INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-24 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL i Proposed Action proposed extending Runway 18R/36L to the south by 2,000 feet.38 This extension would require the relocation of West Boulevard around the south end of the airport initiating from the east near the Runway 36R end and tied into the I-485 interchange with West Boulevard. The most notable benefit of the runway extension would be the increased operational utility of the runway for Boeing 747-200 aircraft which would be able to depart from this runway with minimal or no payload restriction on long stage-length routes. Aircraft needing the extra length would not be required to cross a runway and the extension would not have any impact on the existing TVOR/DME facility. In addition, the runway extension and roadway relocation would provide an area for additional air cargo or aviation-related development east of the runway extension. An additional benefit of the proposed runway extension would be its mitigating effect on aircraft noise impacts. The extension would reduce noise impacts because aircraft departing from Runway 36L would be at higher altitudes over noise-sensitive areas to the north. Therefore, this alternative, in conjunction with the relocation of West Boulevard, was selected as the Sponsor's Proposed Project and was included on the proposed revised ALP. 0- 3.3.1.3 Summary -- Runway Extension Alternatives The runway extension alternatives represent one component of the Sponsor's Proposed Project. The proposed construction of a 2, 000 foot extension on the southern end of Runway 18RI36L would be the only alternative to meet the need of providing sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). The development of this project would result as a consequence of implementing this alternative or as an element of the proposed action alternative. Therefore, the alternatives which incorporate the proposed 2,000-foot runway extension on the south end of Runway 18R/36L together with the required no-build alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. The landside projects are described in the Chapter 2, Section 2.5. These projects are included in all airside alternatives including Alternative 2. E 38 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative 5" in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. CHARLOTTEIDOUCLASINTERNATIONAL AIRPORTENVIRONMENTALIMPACTSTATEMENT Page 3-25 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL 3.3.2 Landside Projects 3.3.2.1 Terminal Alternatives Because the need to provide sufficient terminal gate capacity for commuter aircraft, and domestic and international jet aircraft would result as a consequence of implementing the development alternative, as presented in Chapter 2, Purpose and Need, Section 2.5.1 there is no other reasonable, prudent, feasible, or practicable development alternative that provides the required functional design. The existing terminal facilities can be improved to meet CLT's future needs, and thus it is more reasonable to improve the existing facilities than to build new ones. Therefore, the recommendation would be to implement the Sponsor's Proposed Project or to take no action (no-build). Therefore, the terminal projects as outlined in the Sponsor's Proposed Project and the No Action/No-Build Alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.3.2.2 Ancillary Facility Alternatives Because the need to provide sufficient ancillary facilities to support the potential increase in air transportation demand would result as a consequence of implementing the development alternative, as presented in Chapter Two, Purpose and Need, Section 2.5.1 there is no other reasonable, prudent, feasible, or practicable development alternative that provides the required functional design. The existing ancillary facilities can be improved to meet CLT's future needs, and thus it is more reasonable to improve the existing facilities than to build new ones. Therefore, the recommendation would be to implement the Sponsor's Proposed Project or to take no action (no-build). Therefore, the ancillary facility projects as outlined in the Sponsor's Proposed Project and the No-Action/No-Build Alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.3.3 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions This FEIS assesses environmentally the impact of implementing the Phase I and Phase II noise abatement air traffic measures (previously approved by the FAA on regulatory, non-environmental assessment grounds) that were contained in the 1997 Update of CLT's Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan. These actions are identified as "Phase I" measures which abate the noise impacts of aircraft operations with the airfield in its existing configuration, and "Phase II" measures which abate the noise impacts of aircraft operations with the development of a new north/south parallel runway and a 2,000-foot extension to Runway 18R/36L. The noise abatement air traffic measures to be environmentally assessed are: • CH.IRLO77VDouGL 4s INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-26 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE -ALTERNATIVES FINAL • Phase I Air Traffic Measures • Continue periodic monitoring procedures (initiated as a result of the 1990 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions) within the airport environs. • Provide monthly reports on late night (11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) runway utilization and variances from approved noise abatement and air traffic assumptions to Air Traffic Control Tower management and frequent nighttime operators. • Designate Runways 18R or 18L as preferred for takeoffs by turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. when, under the current preferential runway use program, Runway 23 cannot be used for reasons of wind, weather, operational necessity, or required runway length. • Departing Runway 18R, turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft maintain runway heading to 4 DME south of the CLT VORTAC. • Designate a location for US Airways maintenance run-ups on the company maintenance apron, with orientations aligned with Runway 5/23. 0 • Departing Runways 36R and 36L, turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft initiate turns at the 2.6 and 2.5 DME north of the CLT VORDME, respectively. Phase II Air Traffic Measures • On commissioning a third parallel runway west of Runway 18R/36L, establish an initial departure turn, as soon as practicable, by turbojets and four-engine prop aircraft to a heading of 195 degrees from Runway 17.40 • On commissioning a third parallel runway west of Runway 18R/36L, establish an initial departure turn, as soon as practicable, by turbojets and four-engine prop aircraft to a heading of 315 degrees from Runway 35.41 Because the need to enhance the human environment by reducing noise impacts on surrounding communities would result as a consequence of a build alternative, the only alternatives are to implement the proposed noise abatement air traffic measures or to take no action. The 1997 FAR Part 150 Study Update Record of Approval was received on March 30, 1998.42 4o The proposed new runway is designated as Runway 17/35. 41 See Footnote 40. 42 Charlotte/Douglas International Airport FAR Par! ISO Study Update, Final, August, 1997, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. To review the allernatives evaluation, see Appendix B, Noise Abatement and Land Use Alternatives, of the Part 150 document. The FAA approved this Part 150 Study Update and issued its Record of Approval dated March 30, 1998. CHARLOTTE/DOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENV/RONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-27 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL 0 Therefore, both the alternative which incorporates the recommendations resulting from the Part 150 Update process and the no action alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.4 Alternatives to be Environmentally Assessed Based upon its systematic evaluation of the full range of potential alternatives, the City of Charlotte, as airport sponsor, selected and requests FAA action and approval of the combination of a new third north/south parallel runway and (Sponsor's Proposed Project Alternative C, a 9,000-foot runway spaced 3,700 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L) a runway extension to create a runway 12,000 feet in length (Sponsor's Proposed Project Alternative 5, a 2,000-foot extension to Runway 18R/36L). Along with the implementation of the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic and associated land use compatibility actions, and the landside and ancillary facilities, these projects together represent the Proposed Federal Action. These development alternatives provide a proposed project which best addresses the total composite of all the airport's needs. 3.4.1 Proposed Federal Action The Proposed Federal Action is to approve the Sponsor's Proposed Project which includes the construction of the proposed third north/south parallel runway at a 3,700-foot separation and the 2,000-foot southerly extension to Runway 18R/36L. The proposed construction of the new runway is the airport's preferred way of achieving sufficient airfield capacity and reducing delay during peak operating periods. The proposed construction of the 2,000-foot runway extension is its preferred way of achieving sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). Improved terminal gate capacity for commuter aircraft, and domestic and international jet aircraft along with the necessary supporting ancillary facilities would be accomplished through the expansion of the existing terminal and upgrading of the existing roadway and parking systems. A detailed description of the Sponsor's Proposed Project is listed below. Exhibit 3-2, along with Exhibits 2-1 through 2-10 shown previously, illustrate the locations of the Proposed Federal Action. The following paragraphs describe each of the airfield development items included in the Proposed Federal Action. • Construct a new 9,000-foot independent IFR approach runway, parallel to and 3,700 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L to improve airfield operational flexibility and result in increased capacity and reduced delay. • Site, purchase, install, and flight check all necessary navigation aids and lighting to support the proposed development • Implementation of necessary air traffic control procedures to support the proposed development ' CH,4RLOT7E/DouGL1s INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-28 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE -ALTERNATIVES FINAL i • Extend Runway 18R/36L from its current length of 10,000 feet to a length of 12,000 feet by constructing a 2,000-foot southerly extension with parallel and connecting taxiways and associated lighting and navigational aids. • Relocate West Boulevard around the south end of the airport from east of Runway 36R west to the proposed I-485 interchange and close Byrum Road to accommodate the extension to Runway 18R/36L. • Relocate Wallace-Neel Road, just east of and parallel to the proposed I-485 Outer Beltway, on airport property purchased for the new third parallel runway project. • Relocate Old Dowd Road to north of the new third parallel runway, keeping clear of the Runway 18R Runway Safety Area (RSA) and Runway Object Free Area (OFA) to accommodate the new proposed runway. • Extend Concourse A to accommodate additional jet bridges and additional aircraft parking positions in the near term for either current non-hub airlines or gates for an additional carrier to introduce service to CLT. • Extend Concourse B to provide 11 additional jet bridge positions (for a total of 27) capable of accommodating Boeing 757-size aircraft. The extension would supplement hub operations and accommodate the potential for lost jet positions on Concourse D associated with increased international demand. • Relocate.the Federal Inspection Services facilities within Concourse D, east of the expanded baggage claim area, to allow for the future expansion of the concourse. • Expand Concourse D to allow for additional hold rooms and related facilities to accommodate a larger seating capacity for wide-body international transoceanic aircraft. The concourse expansion would require the relocation of commuter aircraft parking positions currently located in this area. • Develop two remote concourses accessible from Concourse D, via underground passenger tunnels with moving walkways, to accommodate the increase in commuter aircraft traffic associated with hub operations. Each concourse would contain 17 parking positions (a total of 34). • Extend the lower level roadway to the east in front of the newly relocated FIS facility to expand the arrival-level curb frontage. • Reconfigure the ingress/egress of the existing parking structures only if a new parking structure and/or hotel is developed. This reconfiguration would require the relocation of the short-term. and daily toll booths, development of hotel parking areas (either surface lots br parking deck), and an egress roadway for hotel patrons to bypass the toll booths. CmjuoTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-29 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL Develop approximately 1,050 new auto parking spaces between the existing airport maintenance facility and the railroad right-of-way to accommodate projected passenger traffic at the new commuter concourse. Access to these lots can be maintained via the existing routes. • Relocate 1,410 auto parking spaces in the "green lot" to west of existing Runway End 18R and develop an additional 235 employee parking spaces. Access to the new employee lot would be provided via a roadway from Old Dowd Road. • Develop additional remote public parking facilities north of the terminal core area to the west of the existing remote parking facility. This new lot would use the existing toll plaza with minor expansion. • Relocate all the rental car facilities due to the development of the remote jet concourse. The area north of Wilkinson Boulevard would accommodate all relocation requirements and long-term expansion needs. Access would be via a connector road to Wilkinson Boulevard with airport access via Old Dowd Road. • Develop approximately 360 additional employee parking spaces in the area near the end of Runway 18R. • Develop approximately 420 additional spaces for remote parking facilities directly north of the terminal core area near the existing remote parking facilities. • Develop an additional parking structure immediately north of the existing parking decks. This development would be designed to either coincide with or be compatible with development of a hotel located on top of the parking deck. The development of an airport light rail system would be considered in the design of the parking structures and hotel to ensure that access to the main terminal building can be achieved. Implement noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions approved in the updated Noise Compatibility Program.

Proposed Federal Action involves the proposed construction of a new 9,000-foot Runway 17/35 (future 18R/36L) with associated taxiway improvements, and the development of a 2,000-foot extension to existing Runway 18R/36L (future 18C/36C). This EIS also assesses the Federal action (which is part of each alternative) regarding installation of navigational aides, airspace use, and approach and departure procedures associated with the airside development along with the implementation of the following identified elements depicted on the proposed, revised ALP: terminal development projects to extend Concourse A, construct a new commuter concourse, extend the terminal building to relocate the Federal Inspection Services, extend the lower level roadway, extend Concourse B to provide 11 additional jet bridge positions, expand Concourse D to allow for additional hold rooms and related facilities, and develop two remote concourses accessible from Concourse D; landside development projects to expand Loop Road, relocate the rental car CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-31 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL area, reconfigure the hotel ingress/egress, relocate employee parking, develop additional long-term parking; and roadway relocation projects for West Boulevard, Wallace Neel Road, and Old Dowd Road, acquire approximately 1,475 acres of land for proposed airfield development which includes the acquisition and relocation of approximately 123 residential structures and 32 businesses, and mitigate the potential impacts to approximately 2.0 acres of wetlands, 5,400 feet of intermittent streams, 6,780 feet of perennial streams (a total of 12,180 feet), 4.2 acres of identified open water-ponds, and 10,900 feet of identified small drains. As is noted, six feasible alternatives exist to the Proposed Federal Action: 1) the implementation of the 1997 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 1), 2) implementation of No-Action/No-Build (Alternative 2), 3) the implementation of the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 3), 4) the construction of a new third parallel runway at a 3,700-foot separation along with implementing the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 4), 5) the construction of a new third parallel runway at a 4,300-foot separation along with implementing the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 5), and 6) construct a 2,000-foot extension to Runway 18R/36L along with implementing the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 6). The following paragraphs describe the actions considered under each of the alternatives. . • Alternative 1: Implementation of the 1997 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only: The implementation of the 1997 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions shown in Exhibit 3-3, would abate the noise impacts generated by aircraft operations on the existing airfield configuration. Implementing these actions would not contribute directly to satisfying the need for sufficient airfield capacity, reduce delay during peak operating periods, or provide sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). The 1997 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I Measures. Alternative 2: No-Build/No Action Alternative: The No-Build/No-Action Alternative (2001 Baseline), shown in Exhibit 34, would result in the airport runway configuration remaining as it is today. Therefore, future demand requirements would not be satisfied, as identified in Chapter Two, Purpose and Need. Also, any existing negative environmental and operational impacts of the airport would not be reduced. Although this alternative may not be prudent, it is feasible, and is one of the alternatives considered throughout this FEIS. CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-32 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL a • Alternative 3: Implementation of the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only: The implementation of the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions shown in Exhibit 3-5, would abate the noise impacts generated by aircraft operations on the existing airfield configuration with future projected operations. Implementing these actions would not contribute directly to satisfying the need for providing sufficient airfield capacity, for reducing delay during peak operating periods, or for providing sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I Measures. • Alternative 4: Construction of a New Third Parallel Runway with a 3,700 foot Separation along with Implementing the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions: The development program for this alternative, shown in Exhibit 3-6, would be almost identical to that of the Proposed Federal Action. The primary difference is that the 2,000-foot extension to third Runway 18R/36L would not be constructed. This alternative would meet the stated need to provide sufficient airfield capacity and reduce delay during peak operating periods. However, without the development of the runway extension to provide for a 12,000-foot runway, the need to provide sufficient runway length in order to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim) would not be met. The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions to be implemented are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I and Phase II Measures. Alternative S: Construction of a New Third Parallel Runway with a 4,300 foot Separation along with Implementing the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions: The development program for this alternative, shown in Exhibit 3-7, would be almost identical to that of Alternative 4. The primary difference is that the third parallel north/south runway would be separated from existing Runway 18R/36L by a distance of 4,300 feet instead of 3,700 feet. The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions to be implemented are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I and Phase II Measures. • Alternative 6: 2,000-Foot Extension of Runway 18RI36L along with Implementing the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use CompatiNlity Actions: The development program for this alternative, shown in Exhibit 3-8, would require considerably less land to be acquired than the Proposed Federal Action -- 37 acres versus 1,475 acres (1,438 CHA)zLOTTE/DOUCLAs INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-33 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE- ALTERNATIVES FINAL acres for the proposed runway development and 37 acres for the proposed runway extension). There would be no residential or business construction impacts with this alternative. The 37 acres which would need to be acquired is primarily undeveloped/vacant or contains the right-of-way for West Boulevard. All other development projects (landside and ancillary facilities, and approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions), as identified in the Sponsor's Proposed Project, would be implemented. The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic to be implemented are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I and II Measures. 3.5 Regulatory Framework for the FAA's Consideration of Reasonable Alternatives Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FAA has a responsibility to explore and objectively evaluate all reasonable alternatives, including those beyond the jurisdiction of the FAA and CLT. For major Federal actions in which the Federal Government, as a proprietor, plans and develops a Federal facility, the scope of alternatives considered by the sponsoring Federal agency is wide ranging and comprehensive. However, where the sponsor is not the Federal Government, but is a local government or private applicant, the Federal agency role is necessarily more limited with substantial deference given to the preferences of the local sponsor. . Federal agencies may consider the applicant's purposes and needs and common sense realities of a given situation in the development of alternatives. Federal agencies may also afford substantial weight to the alternative preferred by the applicant, provided there is no substantially superior alternative from an environmental standpoint. 3.5.1 Discussion The FAA does not initiate airport development projects. Such projects require the involvement of a local sponsor, which for the proposed action would be provided by the City of Charlotte. It is, therefore, appropriate for the FAA to give substantial deference to the recommendations of the sponsor in identifying reasonable alternatives and considering whether alternatives meet both the national policy objectives expressed in the National Transportation Policy (NTP) and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), and the purposes and needs of CLT. The FAA has identified and analyzed a wide range of both location and facility design alternatives for meeting the purposes and needs presented in Chapter Two, Purpose and Need. The FAA has applied a comprehensive range of operational, economic, engineering, and environmental criteria in assessing whether alternatives would be feasible and prudent, practicable, or reasonable. Through this process, the sponsor and the FAA identified the Proposed Federal Action as its preferred alternative for meeting the purpose and need. The FAA has independently reviewed the airport's process and has concluded that is was acceptable and also appears consistent with the public policy objectives of the National Transportation Policy Act and ISTEA. CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-34 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL The FAA has selected its preferred alternative (2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions with a third parallel runway at 3,700- foot separation and a 2,000-foot extension on the south end of Runway 18R/36L) which satisfies those considerations consistent with the stated purpose and need. The FAA has also found this alternative to be the least environmentally damaging practical alternative, or otherwise known as the environmentally preferred alternative. Accordingly, the reasonable alternatives selected by the FAA for detailed analysis in this EIS include: • 1997 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only (Alternative 1) • 2001 Baseline (No-Build/No-Action) (Alternative 2) • 2001 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only (Alternative 3) • 2001 Noise Compatibility (Alternative 4) • 2001 Noise Compatibility (Alternative 5) Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Actions with a Third Parallel Runway at 3,700-Foot Separation Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Actions with a Third Parallel Runway at 4,300-Foot Separation • 2001 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions And Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions with 2,000-Foot Extension on the South End of Runway 18R/36L (Alternative 6) • 2001 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions with a Third Parallel Runway at 3,700-Foot Separation and a 2,000-Foot Extension on the South End of Runway 18R/36L (Proposed Federal Action, Alternative 7) S:\99CLT%FINAL_TO PRINTER NOV•1999\CHAP•7.DOC CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-35 November. 1999 CHAPTER THREE - A L TERIVA TI VES FINAL 0- THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK • • CHARLOTTE/DOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT November, 1999 O r 1 1 , , , 1 r r r 1 r r r 1 , r7 a o ? o F5 c-N7 d G ? .cJ ---• `? ` ? ,:? ---=-- `\ i , r ,:J ------`r• r r t r .: -====mot-, r r 1 r m e M P H <L LL. u L L L L 0 m 3 p?

Y C, 0 11 Appendix A Alternative Analysis • • • CHAPTER THREE -ALTERNATIVES FINAL "Jump Start" process included representatives from the airport, airlines, FAA, and local planning agencies. The second phase evaluation was to examine the shortlisted alternatives in greater detail and modify those alternatives based on additional analysis. The initial "jump-start" evaluation resulted in a shortlist of alternatives that satisfied the following CLT (airport sponsor) criteria: meet the 20-year arrival and .departure demand requirements, minimize off-airport impacts, minimize on-airport impacts, and maximize runway use flexibility. The conclusions reached from this evaluation were: • New runway development to the east of the existing airfield would be more disruptive to the neighboring community, has higher development cost, and conflicts with the use of Runway 23 for arrivals. • New runways less than 7,000 feet in length do not serve jet aircraft which is the predominant aircraft using CLT. Shorter runways, which do not serve jet aircraft, do not deliver sufficient capacity to serve future capacity needs of the airport. • New parallel runways which are spaced less than 2,500 feet from current runways cannot serve as a third arrival or a third departure runway. • While there is some need for additional departure runway capacity, the predominant need for additional runway capacity is for arrivals.. Thus, runway lengths in excess of 9,000 feet are not necessary, because this length is sufficient to serve all aircraft in the airlines' fleets. The result of the "jump-start" process was the selection of three airfield development concepts that were proposed to be carried forward for further analysis. The shortlist of alternatives included: • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 2,500 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 3,400 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L New 9,000-foot runway spaced 5,000 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L All of the proposed runway development alternatives would require acquisition of all the land west of the airport to the proposed Outer Beltway (I-485) in order to accommodate the runway and associated parallel and connector taxiways. Residential and commercial properties in this area would need to be acquired and relocated. CHARLOTTE/DOUOLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-20 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL i The second phase of the evaluation process evaluated the selected alternatives on the following criteria: additional peak-period capacity, acceptable taxiing distances and times, development costs, aircraft noise impacts, long-range development preservation (beyond the 20-year Master Plan horizon development requirements), and compatibility with future FAA ATC technological advances. In addition to the shortlisted alternatives, the proposed runway alternative from the previous Master Plan was included as part of the evaluation process. This alternative, a parallel runway at a separation of 1,200 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L, does not meet the airside facility requirements as identified. However, it was necessary to draw a comparison to the shortlisted alternatives. The three shortlisted alternatives were modified to account for separation requirements associated with the runway threshold staggers. Also, the runway separation standard was reduced by the FAA in 1996 from 5,000 feet to 4,300 feet. Therefore, 4,300 feet of separation is the minimum separation that is required to conduct triple independent instrument (IFR-instrument flight rules) operations. As a result, the following alternatives were included in the detailed evaluation process: • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 1,200 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L3o • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 2,700 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L" • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 3,700 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L32 • New 9,000-foot runway spaced 4,300 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L13 Exhibit 3-1 shows all of the runway configuration alternatives in the Sponsor's Proposed Action evaluation. The close-in alternatives (1,200 feet and 2,700 feet separation) were eliminated from further analysis because neither would provide the capability of triple independent arrivals under IFR. Both alternatives would cause operational delays for both arriving and departing traffic and result in noise events occurring into the more sensitive nighttime hours.34 There would also be direct overflights of three schools located south of the airport. In addition, neither alternative would be compatible with future air traffic control technology advances because it is not likely that future technology would allow triple independent IFR arrivals at these proposed separations. 30 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative A" in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 31 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative B" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 32 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative C" in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 33 This alternative is referred to as "Altemative D" in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 34 Operational delays would increase the likelihood that the arrival and departure times of aircraft would be deferred to the nighttime hours -- between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENviRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-21 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE -ALTERNATIVES FINAL • The construction of a 9, 000 foot north/south parallel runway, spaced approximately 1,200 feet or 2,700 feet west of existing Runway 18RI36L would not meet the need (as outlined in Chapter Two) of providing sufficient airfield capacity or reducing delay during peak operating periods. Therefore, these alternatives are not carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 9,000-Foot North/South Parallel Runway, Spaced Approximately 3,700 Feet West of Existine Runway 18R/36L This alternative provides additional peak-period capacity allowing for independent arrivals and departures during VFR (visual flight rules); independent departures during IFR, and dependent arrivals during IFR (instrument flight rules). Taxiing distance and times would be longer than is currently experienced between the two existing parallel runways. The development cost is estimated at $59.4 million, which is in the mid-range of the alternatives to develop. This alternative provides for delay reduction, thereby reducing delays into the night (noise-sensitive) hours." The development of this option provides adequate area to locate a future parallel runway between existing Runway 18R/36L and the proposed third parallel runway at a 3,700-foot separation. This alternative would ensure adequate area to accommodate long-range airport development and ensure compatible land use planning near the airport. This alternative would be compatible with future ATC technology advancements. It is highly likely that future technology would permit triple IFR arrivals prior to the requirement to develop a fourth parallel runway. The construction of a 9, 000 foot north/south parallel runway, spaced approximately 3,700 feet west of existing Runway 18RI36L would meet the need (as outlined in Chapter Two) of providing sufficient airfield capacity or reducing delay during peak operating periods. Therefore, this alternative is carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 9,000-Foot North/South Parallel Runway, Spaced Approximately 4,300 Feet West of Existing Runway 18R/36L This alternative provides additional peak period capacity allowing for independent arrivals and departures during. VFR, independent departures during IFR, and independent arrivals during IFR. This alternative provides the highest delay reduction benefits. The taxiing distance and times would be the highest of all alternatives. The development cost is estimated at $63.2 million, which makes it the highest cost of all of the alternatives to develop. In addition, this option would 0 35 See Footnote 31. CHARLOTTE/DOUCLAs INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENYIRONMENT,IL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-22 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE -ALTERNATIVES FINAL e require the westward relocation of the proposed I-485 Outer Beltway to accommodate the applicable safety areas and satisfy FAA obstruction [FAR Part 77] requirements. Noise impacts would be spread into areas west of I-485 and arrivals would be routed directly over residential areas north of the airport. Ground noise would be moved nearer residential areas west of airport. Like the 3,700-foot alternative discussed in the previous section, the development of this alternative provides adequate area to locate a future parallel runway between existing Runway 18R/36L and the proposed third parallel runway. This would ensure adequate area to accommodate long-range airport development and ensure compatible land use planning near the airport. Also, a reconfiguration of the planned Outer Beltway may delay the implementation of the new runway development beyond the proposed phasing schedule (Phase I). This alternative is also compatible with future ATC technology enhancements. The construction of a 9, 000 foot north/south parallel runway, spaced approximately 4,300 feet west of existing Runway 18RI36L would meet the needs (as outlined in Chapter Two) of providing sufficient airfield capacity and reducing delay during peak operating periods. Therefore, this alternative is carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.3.1.2 Runway Extension Alternatives • The airfield requirement analysis performed in this environmental analysis resulted in the recommendation of 12,000 feet of departure capability. This runway length would enable a Boeing 747-200 to serve destinations on the Pacific Rim on a warm summer day with no payload restrictions. All three existing runways (18L/36R, 18R/36L, and 5/23), as well as the proposed third parallel runway were considered as candidates for a runway extension. Extension of Runway 5/23 Extending Runway 5/23 would require an extension of 4,499 feet to provide 12,000 feet in departure capacity. It would not be feasible to extend this runway to the northeast due to the proximity and location of Norfolk Southern Railroad, Josh Birmingham Parkway, and Billy Graham Parkway. Extending this runway to the southwest would create a runway intersection with Runway 18R/36L causing additional air traffic control coordination effort. Therefore, the proposed extension to Runway 5123 was not carved forward for further analysis in this FEIS. Extension of Runwav 18L/36R Extending Runway 18L/36R would require an extension of at least 3,800 feet . to provide 12,000-foot departure capability. A 3,800-foot extension would be necessary to provide the requisite safety area on Runway 18L. It would not be CHARLOTTE/DOUCLAs INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-23 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE -A LTERNATIVES FINAL • feasible to extend this runway to the north due to the proximity and location of Norfolk Southern Railroad and the Josh Birmingham Parkway. An extension to the south would require the relocation of West Boulevard, Byrum Drive, and require the reconfiguration of the West Boulevard/Yorkmont Road intersection and would require the airport to acquire a large amount of land to accommodate the runway and affected roadways. Therefore, the proposed extension to Runway 18LI36R was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. Extension of the Proposed Third Parallel Runway Four extension options were identified to achieve a 12,000-foot departure capability on the proposed third parallel runway.36 None of these options were considered for fiuther analysis because, from an airfield operational perspective, departures should be conducted on the runway(s) closest to the terminal area and the proposed third parallel runway would be located farthest from the terminal area. In addition, there would be increased taxi time and distance for aircraft to reach the departure ends of the proposed runway particularly with any type of a runway extension. For these two reasons, the proposed extension to the proposed new runway was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. xtension of Runwav 18R/36L Two alternatives to extend existing Runway 18R/36L to 12,000 feet were identified.37 The first alternative proposed extensions of 1,294 feet to the north end and 562 feet to the south end and required the use of declared distance criteria to provide adequate runway end safety areas. However, with these extensions, and by applying the declared distance criteria, only a maximum take-off distance of 11,506 feet in each direction could be achieved. This distance, however falls 494 feet short of the 12,000-foot requirement identified. Therefore, the proposed extension to Runway 18RI36L was not carried forward for further analysis in this FEIS. The second alternative to extending Runway 18R/36L to 12,000 requires relocating either West Boulevard or the Norfolk and Southern Railroad. Of these two options, the Sponsor's Proposed Action determined that relocating West Boulevard cost less than relocating the railroad. Therefore, the Sponsor's 36 These alternatives are referred to as "Alternative 1," "Alternative 2," "Alternative 3," and "Alternative 4" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. 37 These alternatives are referred to as "Alternative 5" and "Alternative 6" in the CharlottelDouglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. CHARLOTTEIDOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-24 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE- ALTERNATIVES FINAL i Proposed Action proposed extending Runway 18R/36L to the south by 2,000 feet." This extension would require the relocation of West Boulevard around the south end of the airport initiating from the east near the Runway 36R end and tied into the I-485 interchange with West Boulevard. The most notable benefit of the runway extension would be the increased operational utility of the runway for Boeing 747-200 aircraft which would be able to depart from this runway with minimal or no payload restriction on long stage-length routes. Aircraft needing the extra length would not be required to cross a runway and the extension would not have any impact on the existing TVOR/DME facility. In addition, the runway extension and roadway relocation would provide an area for additional air cargo or aviation-related development east of the runway extension. An additional benefit of the proposed runway extension would be its mitigating effect on aircraft noise impacts. The extension would reduce noise impacts because aircraft departing from Runway 36L would be at higher altitudes over noise-sensitive areas to the north. Therefore, this alternative, in conjunction with the relocation of West Boulevard, was selected as the Sponsor's Proposed Project and was included on the proposed revised ALP. • 3.3.1.3 Summary - Runway Extension Alternatives The runway extension alternatives represent one component of the Sponsor's Proposed Project. The proposed construction of a 2, 000 foot extension on the southern end of Runway 18RI36L would be the only alternative to meet the need of providing sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). The development of this project would result as a consequence of implementing this alternative or as an element of the proposed action alternative. Therefore, the alternatives which incorporate the proposed 2,000-foot runway extension on the south end of Runway 18R/36L together with the required no-build alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. The landside projects are described in the Chapter 2, Section 2.5. These projects are included in all airside alternatives including Alternative 2. • 38 This alternative is referred to as "Alternative 5" in the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Master Plan Study Update, Final, January, 1998, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. CH,4RLOTTEID000LAs INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT November, 1999 Page 3-25 CHAPTER THREE -ALTERNATIVES FINAL 3.3.2 Landside Projects 3.3.2.1 Terminal Alternatives Because the need to provide sufficient terminal gate capacity for commuter aircraft, and domestic and international jet aircraft would result as a consequence of implementing the development alternative, as presented in Chapter 2, Purpose and Need, Section 2.5.1 there is no other reasonable, prudent, feasible, or practicable development alternative that provides the required functional design. The existing terminal facilities can be improved to meet CLT's future needs, and thus it is more reasonable to improve the existing facilities than to build new ones. Therefore, the recommendation would be to implement the Sponsor's Proposed Project or to take no action (no-build). Therefore, the terminal projects as outlined in the Sponsor's Proposed Project and the No Action/No-Build Alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.3.2.2 Ancillary Facility Alternatives Because the need to provide sufficient ancillary facilities to support the potential increase in air transportation demand would result as a consequence of implementing the development alternative, as presented in Chapter Two, Purpose and Need, Section 2.5.1 there is no other reasonable, prudent, feasible, or practicable development alternative that provides the required functional design. The existing ancillary facilities can be improved to meet CLT's future needs, and thus it is more reasonable to improve the existing facilities than to build new ones. Therefore, the recommendation would be to implement the Sponsor's Proposed Project or to take no action (no-build). Therefore, the ancillary facility projects as outlined in the Sponsor's Proposed Project and the No-Action/No-Build Alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.3.3 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions This FEIS assesses environmentally the impact of implementing the Phase I and Phase II noise abatement air traffic measures (previously approved by the FAA on regulatory, non-environmental assessment grounds) that were contained in the 1997 Update of CLT's Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan. These actions are identified as "Phase I" measures which abate the noise impacts of aircraft operations with the airfield in its existing configuration, and "Phase II" measures which abate the noise impacts of aircraft operations with the development of a new north/south parallel runway and a 2,000-foot extension to Runway 18R/36L. The noise abatement air traffic measures to be environmentally assessed are: CHARLOTTE/DOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTENV/RONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-26 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE- ALTERNATIVES FINAL w Phase I Air Traffic Measures • Continue periodic monitoring procedures (initiated as a result of the 1990 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions) within the airport environs. • Provide monthly reports on late night (11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) runway utilization and variances from approved noise abatement and air traffic assumptions to Air Traffic Control Tower management and frequent nighttime operators. • Designate Runways 18R or 18L as preferred for takeoffs by turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. when, under the current preferential runway use program, Runway 23 cannot be used for reasons of wind, weather, operational necessity, or required runway length. • Departing Runway 18R, turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft maintain runway heading to 4 DME south of the CLT VORTAC. • Designate a location for US Airways maintenance run-ups on the company maintenance apron, with orientations aligned with Runway 5/23. • Departing Runways 36R and 36L, turbojet and large four-engine prop aircraft initiate turns at the 2.6 and 2.5 DME north of the CLT VORDME, respectively. Phase II Air Traffic Measures • On commissioning a third parallel runway west of Runway 18R/36L, establish an initial departure turn, as soon as practicable, by turbojets and four-engine prop aircraft to a heading of 195 degrees from Runway 17.40 • On commissioning a third parallel runway west of Runway 18R/36L, establish an initial departure turn, as soon as practicable, by turbojets and four-engine prop aircraft to a heading of 315 degrees from Runway 35.41 Because the need to enhance the human environment by reducing noise impacts on surrounding communities would result as a consequence of a build alternative, the only alternatives are to implement the proposed noise abatement air traffic measures or to take no action. The 1997 FAR Part 150 Study Update Record of Approval was received on March 30, 1998.42 40 The proposed new runway is designated as Runway 17/35. 41 See Footnote 40. 42 Charlotte/Douglas International Airport FAR Part ISO Study Update, Final, August, 1997, prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated. To review the alternatives evaluation, see Appendix B, Noise Abatement and Land Use Alternatives, of the Part 150 document. The FAA approved this Part 150 Study Update and issued its Record of Approval dated March 30, 1998. CNARLO77E/D000LAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENV/RONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-17 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL Therefore, both the alternative which incorporates the recommendations resulting from the Part 150 Update process and the no action alternative are carried forward in the detailed assessment of environmental consequences provided in Chapter Five. 3.4 Alternatives to be Environmentally Assessed Based upon its systematic evaluation of the full range of potential alternatives, the City of Charlotte, as airport sponsor, selected and requests FAA action and approval of the combination of a new third north/south parallel runway and (Sponsor's Proposed Project Alternative C, a 9,000-foot runway spaced 3,700 feet from existing Runway 18R/36L) a runway extension to create a runway 12,000 feet in length (Sponsor's Proposed Project Alternative 5, a 2,000-foot extension to Runway 18R/36L). Along with the implementation of the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic and associated land use compatibility actions, and the landside and ancillary facilities, these projects together represent the Proposed Federal Action. These development alternatives provide a proposed project which best addresses the total composite of all the airport's needs. 3.4.1 Proposed Federal Action The Proposed Federal Action is to approve the Sponsor's Proposed Project which includes the construction of the proposed third north/south parallel runway at a 3,700-foot separation and the 2,000-foot southerly extension to Runway 18R/36L. The proposed construction of the new runway is the airport's preferred way of achieving sufficient airfield capacity and reducing delay during peak operating periods. The proposed construction of the 2,000-foot runway extension is its preferred way of achieving sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). Improved terminal gate capacity for commuter aircraft, and domestic and international jet aircraft along with the necessary supporting ancillary facilities would be accomplished through the expansion of the existing terminal and upgrading of the existing roadway and parking systems. A detailed description of the Sponsor's Proposed Project is listed below. Exhibit 3-2, along with Exhibits 2-1 through 2-10 shown previously, illustrate the locations of the Proposed Federal Action. The following paragraphs describe each of the airfield development items included in the Proposed Federal Action. • Construct a new 9,000-foot independent IFR approach runway, parallel to and 3,700 feet west of existing Runway 18R/36L to improve airfield operational flexibility and result in increased capacity and reduced delay. • Site, purchase, install, and flight check all necessary navigation aids and lighting to support the proposed development • Implementation of necessary air traffic control procedures to support the proposed development CNARLOTTEIDouGLAs INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-28 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL i • Extend Runway 18R/36L from its current length of 10,000 feet to a length of 12,000 feet by constructing a 2,000-foot southerly extension with parallel and connecting taxiways and associated lighting and navigational aids. • Relocate West Boulevard around the south end of the airport from east of Runway 36R west to the proposed I-485 interchange and close Byrum Road to accommodate the extension to Runway 18R/36L. • Relocate Wallace-Neel Road, just east of and parallel to the proposed I-485 Outer Beltway, on airport property purchased for the new third parallel runway project. • Relocate Old Dowd Road to north of the new third parallel runway, keeping clear of the Runway 18R Runway Safety Area (RSA) and Runway Object Free Area (OFA) to accommodate the new proposed runway. • Extend Concourse A to accommodate additional jet bridges and additional aircraft parking positions in the near term for either current non-hub airlines or gates for an additional carrier to introduce service to CLT. • Extend Concourse B to provide 11 additional jet bridge positions (for a total of 27) capable of accommodating Boeing 757-size aircraft. The extension would supplement hub operations and accommodate the potential for lost jet positions on Concourse D associated with increased international demand. • Relocate.the Federal Inspection Services facilities within Concourse D, east of the expanded baggage claim area, to allow for the future expansion of the concourse. • Expand Concourse D to allow for additional hold rooms and related facilities to accommodate a larger seating capacity for wide-body international transoceanic aircraft. The concourse expansion would require the relocation of commuter aircraft parking positions currently located in this area. • Develop two remote concourses accessible from Concourse D, via underground passenger tunnels with moving walkways, to accommodate the increase in commuter aircraft traffic associated with hub operations. Each concourse would contain 17 parking positions (a total of 34). • Extend the lower level roadway to the east in front of the newly relocated FIS facility to expand the arrival-level curb frontage. • Reconfigure the ingress/egress of the existing parking structures only if a new parking structure and/or hotel is developed. This reconfiguration would require the relocation of the short-term- and daily toll booths, development of hotel parking areas (either surface lots br parking deck), and an egress roadway for hotel patrons to bypass the toll booths. CHARLOTTF?DouGLAS INTERN.1 TION,4L AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-29 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL • • Develop approximately 1,050 new auto parking spaces between the existing airport maintenance facility and the railroad right-of-way to accommodate projected passenger traffic at the new commuter concourse. Access to these lots can be maintained via the existing routes. • Relocate 1,410 auto parking spaces in the "green lot" to west of existing Runway End 18R and develop an additional 235 employee parking spaces. Access to the new employee lot would be provided via a roadway from Old Dowd Road. • Develop additional remote public parking facilities north of the terminal core area to the west of the existing remote parking facility. This new lot would use the existing toll plaza with minor expansion. • Relocate all the rental car facilities due to the development of the remote jet concourse. The area north of Wilkinson Boulevard would accommodate all relocation requirements and long-term expansion needs. Access would be via a connector road to Wilkinson Boulevard with airport access via Old Dowd Road. • Develop approximately 360 additional employee parking spaces in the area near the end of Runway 18R. • Develop approximately 420 additional spaces for remote parking facilities directly north of the terminal core area near the existing remote parking facilities. • Develop an additional parking structure immediately north of the existing parking decks. This development would be designed to either coincide with or be compatible with development of a hotel located on top of the parking deck. The development of an airport light rail system would be considered in the design of the parking structures and hotel to ensure that access to the main terminal building can be achieved. Implement noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions approved in the updated Noise Compatibility Program. NA4 Provide monthly reports on late night (11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) runway utilization and variances from NCP assumptions to Air Traffic Control Tower management and frequent nighttime operators.

NA-10 On construction of a third parallel runway west of Runway 18R/36L, establish an initial departure turn, as soon as practicable, by turbojets and four-engine prop aircraft to a heading of 315 degrees from Runway 35. New measure. • Acquire approximately 1,475 acres of land for airfield development that includes the acquisition and relocation of approximately 123 residential structures and 32 businesses to accommodate the proposed new runway. Compensate for impacts to approximately 2.0 acres of wetlands, 5,400 feet of intermittent streams, 6,780 feet of perennial streams (a total of 12,180 feet), 4.2 acres of identified open water-ponds, and 10,900 feet of identified small drains caused by the development of the Proposed Federal Action. 3.4.2 Alternatives to the Proposed Federal Action This chapter has summarized various alternatives to the Proposed Federal Action. Proposed Federal Action involves the proposed construction of a new 9,000-foot Runway 17/35 (future 18R/36L) with associated taxiway improvements, and the development of a 2,000-foot extension to existing Runway 18R/36L (future 18C/36C). This EIS also assesses the Federal action (which is part of each alternative) regarding installation of navigational aides, airspace use, and approach and departure procedures associated with the airside development along with the implementation of the following identified elements depicted on the proposed, revised ALP: terminal development projects to extend Concourse A, construct a new commuter concourse, extend the terminal building to relocate the Federal Inspection Services, extend the lower level roadway, extend Concourse B to provide 11 additional jet bridge positions, expand Concourse D to allow for additional hold rooms and related facilities, and develop two remote concourses accessible from Concourse D; landside development projects to expand Loop Road, relocate the rental car CHARLO7TEIDouGL,4s INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-31 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE-ALTERNATIVES FINAL area, reconfigure the hotel ingress/egress, relocate employee parking, develop additional long-term parking; and roadway relocation projects for West Boulevard, Wallace Neel Road, and Old Dowd Road, acquire approximately 1,475 acres of land for proposed airfield development which includes the acquisition and relocation of approximately 123 residential structures and 32 businesses, and mitigate the potential impacts to approximately 2.0 acres of wetlands, 5,400 feet of intermittent streams, 6,780 feet of perennial streams (a total of 12,180 feet), 4.2 acres of identified open water-ponds, and 10,900 feet of identified small drains. As is noted, six feasible alternatives exist to the Proposed Federal Action: 1) the implementation of the 1997 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 1), 2) implementation of No-Action/No-Build (Alternative 2), 3) the implementation of the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 3), 4) the construction of a new third parallel runway at a 3,700-foot separation along with implementing the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 4), 5) the construction of a new third parallel runway at a 4,300-foot separation along with implementing the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 5), and 6) construct a 2,000-foot extension to Runway 18RJ36L along with implementing the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions (Alternative 6). The following paragraphs describe the actions considered under each of the alternatives. • Alternative 1: Implementation of the 1997 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only: The implementation of the 1997 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions shown in Exhibit 3-3, would abate the noise impacts generated by aircraft operations on the existing airfield configuration. Implementing these actions would not contribute directly to satisfying the need for sufficient airfield capacity, reduce delay during peak operating periods, or provide sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). The 1997 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I Measures. Alternative 2: No-Build/No Action Alternative: The No-Build/No-Action Alternative (2001 Baseline), shown in Exhibit 34, would result in the airport runway configuration remaining as it is today. Therefore, future demand requirements would not be satisfied, as identified in Chapter Two, Purpose and Need. Also, any existing negative environmental and operational impacts of the airport would not be reduced. Although this alternative may not be prudent, it is feasible, and is one of the alternatives considered throughout this FEIS. • CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENV/RONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-32 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVE FINAL V • Alternative 3: Implementation of the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only: The implementation of the 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions shown in Exhibit 3-5, would abate the noise impacts generated by aircraft operations on the existing airfield configuration with future projected operations. Implementing these actions would not contribute directly to satisfying the need for providing sufficient airfield capacity, for reducing delay during peak operating periods, or for providing sufficient runway length to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim). The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I Measures. • Alternative 4: Construction of a New Third Parallel Runway with a 3,700 foot Separation along with Implementing the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions: The development program for this alternative, shown in Exhibit 3-6, would be almost identical to that of the Proposed Federal Action. The primary difference is that the 2,000-foot extension to third Runway 18R/36L would not be constructed. This alternative would meet the stated need to provide sufficient airfield capacity and reduce delay during peak operating periods. However, without the development of the runway extension to provide for a 12,000-foot runway, the need to provide sufficient runway length in order to accommodate potential air transportation demand (long-range aircraft departures to destinations on the Pacific Rim) would not be met. The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions to be implemented are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I and Phase II Measures. Alternative 5: Construction of a New Third Parallel Runway with a 4,300 foot Separation along with Implementing the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions: The development program for this alternative, shown in Exhibit 3-7, would be almost identical to that of Alternative 4. The primary difference is that the third parallel north/south runway would be separated from existing Runway 18R/36L by a distance of 4,300 feet instead of 3,700 feet. The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions to be implemented are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I and Phase II Measures. • Alternative 6: 2,000-Foot Extension of Runway 18RI36L along with Implementing the 2001 Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and . Associated Land Use CompaAility Actions: The development program for this alternative, shown in Exhibit 3-8, would require considerably less land to be acquired than the Proposed Federal Action -- 37 acres versus 1,475 acres (1,438 CHARLo77VDouGLAs INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENvIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-33 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE- ALTERNATIVES FINAL acres for the proposed runway development and 37 acres for the proposed runway extension). There would be no residential or business construction impacts with this alternative. The 37 acres which would need to be acquired is primarily undeveloped/vacant or contains the right-of-way for West Boulevard. All other development projects (landside and ancillary facilities, and approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions), as identified in the Sponsor's Proposed Project, would be implemented. The 2001 approved noise abatement air traffic to be implemented are listed in Section 3.3.3, Approved Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions, Phase I and II Measures. 3.5 Regulatory Framework for the FAA's Consideration of Reasonable Alternatives Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FAA has a responsibility to explore and objectively evaluate all reasonable alternatives, including those beyond the jurisdiction of the FAA and CLT. For major Federal actions in which the Federal Government, as a proprietor, plans and develops a Federal facility, the scope of alternatives considered by the sponsoring Federal agency is wide ranging and comprehensive. However, where the sponsor is not the Federal Government, but is a local government or private applicant, the Federal agency role is necessarily more limited with substantial deference given to the preferences of the local sponsor. Federal agencies may consider the applicant's purposes and needs and common sense realities of a given situation in the development of alternatives. Federal agencies may also afford substantial weight to the alternative preferred by the applicant, provided there is no substantially superior alternative from an environmental standpoint. 3.5.1 Discussion The FAA does not initiate airport development projects. Such projects require the involvement of a local sponsor, which for the proposed action would be provided by the City of Charlotte. It is, therefore, appropriate for the FAA to give substantial deference to the recommendations of the sponsor in identifying reasonable alternatives and considering whether alternatives meet both the national policy objectives expressed in the National Transportation Policy (NTP) and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), and the purposes and needs of CLT. The FAA has identified and analyzed a wide range of both location and facility design alternatives for meeting the purposes and needs presented in Chapter Two, Purpose and Need. The FAA has applied a comprehensive range of operational, economic, engineering, and environmental criteria in assessing whether alternatives would be feasible and prudent, practicable, or reasonable. Through this process, the sponsor and the FAA identified the Proposed Federal Action as its preferred alternative for meeting the purpose and need. The FAA has independently reviewed the airport's process and has concluded that is was acceptable and also appears consistent with the public policy objectives of the National Transportation Policy Act and ISTEA. CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-34 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL 4P The FAA has selected its preferred alternative (2001 approved noise abatement air traffic actions and associated land use compatibility actions with a third parallel runway at 3,700- foot separation and a 2,000-foot extension on the south end of Runway 18R/36L) which satisfies those considerations consistent with the stated purpose and need. The FAA has also found this alternative to be the least environmentally damaging practical alternative, or otherwise known as the environmentally preferred alternative. Accordingly, the reasonable alternatives selected by the FAA for detailed analysis in this EIS include: • 1997 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only (Alternative 1) • 2001 Baseline (No-Build/No-Action) (Alternative 2) • 2001 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions Only (Alternative 3) • 2001 Noise Compatibility (Alternative 4) • 2001 Noise Compatibility (Alternative 5) Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Actions with a Third Parallel Runway at 3,700-Foot Separation Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Actions with a Third Parallel Runway at 4,300-Foot Separation • 2001 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions And Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions with 2,000-Foot Extension on the South End of Runway 18R/36L (Alternative 6) • 2001 Noise Abatement Air Traffic Actions and Associated Land Use Compatibility Actions with a Third Parallel Runway at 3,700-Foot Separation and a 2,000-Foot Extension on the South End of Runway 18R/36L (Proposed Federal Action, Alternative 7) 9 S:\99CLT\FINAL_TO PRINTER NOV•1999\CHAP•J.DOC CHARLOTTE/DouGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Page 3-35 November, 1999 CHAPTER THREE - ALTERNATIVES FINAL • THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK • • CHARLomffiOUCLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT November, 1999 -? tea! ?? ?---?!? ? r?J??-?--• 4 s.-? ??- ?---?
