Record of Decision for the Proposed Master Plan Improvements at Kahului Airport Kahului, Maui, Hawaii

摘要

This document serves as a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) unconditional approval of projects for Phases 1 and Phase 2 of the 1993 Kahului Airport Master Plan. FAA's final approval of Phase 3 will require FAA and Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) to complete additional environmental review and analyses for those long-range Phase 3 components. FAA and HDOT will undertake the review and analyses when the need for these Phase 3 components is foreseeable. Therefore, until such time all Phase 3 component remain conditionally approved. In addition to clarifying FAA's approval of the various phases, this ROD will discuss: the purpose and need of the proposed project; the actions FAA approved; the alternatives examined in the final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) made publicly available on October 31, 1997; the environmental effects of the preferred alternative; mitigation measures that will be implemented; satisfaction of grant assurances; and the decision to approve the action. The nature and extent of FAA's decision is clearly stated in this ROD, the decision document for the proposed projects.
