Balancing airport development needs with protection of environmental resources is not only required by National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), but is also a sound ethical practice. Armstrong provides comprehensive environmental services to identify potential environmental impacts associated with proposed airport development projects. In turn, we provide methods to avoid or minimize impacts where possible and to mitigate unavoidable impacts.
We offer extensive experience in preparing documented Categorical Exclusions (CATEXs) and Environmental Assessments (EAs) for all types of airport development projects, including new airports, major airfield expansions, runway extensions, and landside development. Our certification for wetland delineation and in-depth knowledge of noise analysis, compatible land use planning, and FAA Order 5050.4B, Airport Environmental Handbook, provide the foundation for efficient and timely processing of requisite environmental approvals for your development projects.
The combined experience and capabilities of our planning, environmental, and engineering staff offers a project team that can develop alternative solutions for avoiding or minimizing impacts so that projects can proceed unimpeded. Beyond NEPA documentation, Armstrong has assisted numerous clients in achieving and maintaining environmental compliance on their airport by providing fuel farm siting, storm water permitting, spill prevention and control plans, compatible land use plans, and voluntary noise abatement programs. Our airport environmental services include:
