Public Meetings on
Proposed 4th Runway and Other Airport Projects
(April 3, 2018)
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will host two public
scoping meetings at the following times and locations:
Public Scoping #1 Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 7:00 PM
Embassy Suites (main entrance), 4800 S. Tryon St., Charlotte, NC
28217
Public Scoping #2 Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 7:00 PM West
Mecklenburg High School Cafeteria (entrance at sign for Athletic
Fields and Gymnasium) 7400 Tuckaseegee Rd., Charlotte, NC 28214
The agenda for each meeting will be identical. The meetings will
help residents learn about the City of Charlotte Aviation
Department’s Proposed Project and help define the purpose and scope
of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). All interested parties are
welcome and encouraged to attend. See
Invitation to Community Groups.
The Proposed Action (or Proposed
Project) is made up of four primary Project Elements proposed for
construction by 2028:
- Constructing a
New Fourth Parallel Runway 1-19 (including End-Around Taxiways)
- Expanding Concourse B and Ramp
- Expanding Concourse C and Ramp
- Constructing North Parking Garage
See
Project
Elements Proposed for Construction by 2028.
The Project Sponsor’s preferred location
for the new runway would be on the west side of the airfield between
existing Runway 18C-36C and Runway 18R-36L. Upon completion of the
new runway, CLT would have four parallel north/south runways.
Construction of the new runway along with terminal and ramp
expansion projects would require the decommissioning of Runway 5-23
and relocation of West Boulevard.
For both meetings, the format will include an open house
workshop, where residents can view displays or speak with project
team members, followed by a public comment session. During the
public comment session, members of the public may provide up to a
3-minute statement. Attendees may also choose to provide private
comments to a stenographer, complete and submit a comment card, or
enter a comment on a computer terminal during the meetings. Oral
comments will be transcribed by a stenographer. Members of the
public may also mail a comment, submit an email to
CLTEIS@faa.gov,
or make a comment through
www.regulations.gov. All comments received
during the scoping comment period, whether provided in writing or
verbally, will be given equal weight and be taken into consideration
in the preparation of the EIS. The comment period is open until May
7, 2018, however the FAA will continue to accept comments throughout
the EIS process and will respond to all comments in the EIS.
