Notice is hereby given of the availability of the Draft Finding of No Significant Impact/Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD) and the Final Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed action at the Bismarck Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has prepared its proposed FONSI/ROD for the evaluation of the Final EA for the City of Bismarck’s proposed action to expand the general aviation apron by adding approximately 650 feet of apron frontage to accommodate expansion of Fix Based Operator development. The proposed action would be accomplished by removing or relocating a City owned hangar (Hangar #5), removing or relocating an existing FBO hangar (Hangar #38), removing a City owned office/terminal building (Building #22) and paving approximately 15,200 square yards of new concrete apron.
The Draft FONSI/ROD indicates the project is consistent with existing environmental policies and objectives as set forth in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
The proposed action would involve special purpose laws having public notice requirements separate from NEPA including Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 and amendments, Section 4(f), 49 USC § 303(c).
Copies of the draft FONSI/ROD, Final EA, and related documents referenced above are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following locations:
• Federal Aviation Administration, Airports District Office, 2301 University Drive Building 23B, Bismarck, ND
• North Dakota Aeronautics Commission, 2301 University Drive, Building 22, Bismarck, ND

Also copies are available for download by request. Please contact Curt Cady at curt.cady@kljeng.com.
