Preparation for an Airport Master Plan for Joint Use Operation at Scott AFB, Illinois.
Abstract
The purpose of the first phase report on the Master Plan and Environmental Impact analysis for the joint military and civil use of Scott Air Force Base (Scott AFB) is: (1) Verify the future need for commercial air facilities in Southwestern Illinois to supplement service now being provided by Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. (2) Determine the best possible alternative for providing this supplemental service; a new airport, expansion of an existing public use airport, or the joint use of Scott AFB. (3) Examine the potential impact on the future growth and development of this region if no action is taken. This report investigates the potential future demand for air service in the five counties comprising the Illinois portion of the St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area and two other adjacent counties, not in the Standard Statistical Area; compares this demand with the anticipated capacity of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (Lambert-St. Louis); ranks each of the alternatives for supplying additional capacity on its technical, economic, and environmental merit; and recommends the best alternative for detailed planning and environmental analysis.
