October 2011 - FAA Project Update

Good Afternoon!

Based on feedback from a number of our key agency representatives, I have scheduled Kodiak Airport EIS meetings in Kodiak and Anchorage for the week of October 31, 2011. The intent of these meetings will be to present runway safety area alternatives that will be included in the Draft EIS. FAA and members of the EIS consulting team will take this opportunity to describe the alternatives, provide rationale for why some alternatives work and others won't, and explain the factors considered in developing a range for full environment analysis. We are inviting agency and tribal representatives, as well as other project stakeholders and interested
persons, to attend. Our schedule will be:

Kodiak Meetings
Tuesday Afternoon, November 1 - Alternatives Meeting for All
Wednesday Morning, November 2 - Available for individual
agency/tribal/stakeholder meetings

Anchorage Meetings
Thursday Morning, November 3 - Alternatives Meeting for All
Thursday Afternoon, November 3 - Available for individual
agency/tribal/stakeholder meetings

As you can see from the schedule, I have also set aside time to meet with some of you who would like further consultation or to discuss other elements of the EIS. I or another member of my consultant team will follow up with you shortly to make those arrangements. Let me know if you or others from your organization cannot attend the alternatives meeting, and I will do my best to arrange a conference call or some other forum to cover this information with you in the near future.

In the next few days we will reserve meetings rooms, and I will send
another announcement with locations and times. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to call me at 271-5453 if you have questions or specific requests.

Thanks very much,
