Opportunity to Review the Draft Environmental Assessment and
Invitation to Public Workshop for the Terminal Modernization Program at Pittsburgh International Airport
Pursuant to Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations 1506.6(b) notice is hereby given that a Draft Environmental Assessment (Draft EA) has been prepared by the Allegheny County Airport Authority (ACAA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of a proposed Terminal Modernization Program at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (Proposed Action). The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide a modern and efficient terminal complex that addresses existing facility deficiencies and meets current and future passenger, safety, and airline needs and expectations.
The Proposed Action includes the following proposed improvements: (1) relocate the existing Landside Terminal (where passengers currently check-in, check and pickup luggage, and go through security screening) to a new terminal processor constructed on the western side of the existing Airside Terminal between Concourses C and D; (2) reduce the current number of aircraft gates from 75 to approximately 51, consolidating the Airside Terminal to a more efficient configuration; (3) relocate the existing public parking garage closer to the new terminal processor with a combined garage for rental car operations and public parking; (4) improve existing roadways to provide access from the current airport entrances to the new terminal processor and new parking garage; (5) relocate long-term parking, employee, and commercial vehicle parking; (6) demolish obsolete facilities; and (7) various enabling projects to allow construction of the Proposed Action, including utility relocation.
The Draft EA evaluates the potential environmental effects of the Proposed Action described above and its alternatives, and has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), and Section 509(b)(5) of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended. The FAA is the lead federal agency to ensure compliance with NEPA for airport development actions. The Draft EA has also been prepared in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, and FAA Order 5050.4B, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions. The Draft EA includes an analysis of reasonable alternatives, potential environmental impacts, and mitigation measures, as appropriate.
