The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Angoon Airport EIS Consulting Team welcome you to the Angoon Airport Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Web site.
This web site allows you to monitor project progress and the latest milestones in this EIS process. The FAA is reviewing the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) proposal for a land-based airport on Admiralty Island to serve the City of Angoon, and anticipates preparing an EIS to disclose the potential environmental impacts associated with its construction and operation. This EIS process will inform the public regarding the potential impacts of this project on human and natural resources.
To help ensure that the EIS effectively discloses project progress and potential impacts, we'll keep this site updated throughout this process. The generalized Project Schedule is available and will beupdated as milestones are reached to show where we are currently at in the EIS process. Additionally, on this website you will find general background Documents, Contact Information, and related EIS resources such as project Maps, Technical Reports, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Other background information will be posted as it becomes available. We appreciate your interest and we look forward to keeping you informed and up-to-date throughout this project.
Currently, the EIS team is conducting supplemental airport planning to verify the information gathered by DOT & PF in the Angoon Airport Reconnaissance Study (2004) and the Angoon Airport Master Plan (2007). This supplemental analysis will help in the assessment of the proposed airport site, as well as assist in the development of and analysis of alternative sites. Once the proposed airport site and potential alternatives are reviewed more thoroughly, the EIS Team will once again ask for public participation. Please visit our site again for announcements on our next public meeting.
