ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS IN AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT

APPROACHES TO PROBLEMS OF AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT WITHIN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION CONSTRAINTS ARE DISCUSSED. AS AN EXAMPLE, A STUDY APPROACH USED FOR A PROPOSED MEDIUM SIZED AIRPORT TO ACCOMMODATE AIRLINE TURBOJET AIRCRAFT IN SOUTHWEST PUERTO RICO IS OUTLINED IN A MANNER DISPELLING ANY ILLUSION THAT THE REQUIRED SCOPE OF EVALUATION IS NOT DIFFICULT AND ONEROUS TO ACHIEVE. GUIDELINES GOVERNING THE PROCESSING OF PROPOSED AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS BY FAA FIELD OFFICES ARE REVIEWED. /IAA/
