PUBLIC NOTICE
WASHINGTON DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
New Concourse Development
AVAILABILITY OF FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (Airports Authority) is proposing construction of a new midfield concourse south of Concourse C/D and the demolition of the existing Concourse A regional aircraft gates (Proposed Action) at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD or the Airport). The Proposed Action is intended to address the operational and connectivity inefficiencies of the existing Concourse A regional aircraft gates, which do not provide contact gates for air passengers, and to allow activity currently served at those gates to be accommodated in modern facilities with contact gates and convenient passenger access to existing Concourse C/D. The new concourse would be constructed to incorporate the existing east AeroTrain station south of Taxilane E and north of Taxiway F. The east AeroTrain station and existing underground infrastructure would remain in place and serve the new concourse and continue to connect passengers with Concourse C/D.
In conformance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, the Airports Authority has prepared a Short Form Environmental Assessment (EA). After careful consideration of the information contained in the Final EA, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has determined that significant environmental effects will not result from the proposed action. Therefore, the FAA has issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).
The Final EA and FONSI are available below for public review. Physical copies of the FONSI and Final EA are available at the Brambleton Branch of the Loudoun County Library and Chantilly Branch of the Fairfax County Library:
Loudoun County Library, Brambleton Branch
