Environmental Impacts of Airport Policy Alternatives,

Abstract

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as owner and operator of the Metropolitan Washington Airports (Washington National and Dulles International) is issuing a policy statement to guide development and operation of these facilities into the 1990's. The FAA's Metropolitan Washington Airport policy establishes a balance between a complex set of criteria which reflect transportation service, investment requirements and environmental impacts. This report provides much of the environmental assessment supporting the FAA's Metropolitan Washington Airport Policy Statement. The Noise Exposure Forecast (NEF) model is described, NEF data are presented by county and state; results of the airport emission analysis are listed and automobile emission levels are computed. A description of the range of policy options considered is contained in the appendix of the report. (Author)
