The Rhode Island Airport Corporation, Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport and Stantec Consulting Services Inc. have compiled a Final Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with proposed safety improvement projects planned for T.F. Green Airport located in Warwick, RI. The proposed project subject to this EA includes acquiring avigation easements to remove trees located off airport property that are obstructing Runway 5-23 airspace.
The purpose of this document is to inform the public of potential environmental consequences associated with proposed federal actions and their alternatives. The EA assists with identifying the environmentally preferable alternative for the proposed actions. The EA also provides the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with the information necessary to determine whether impacts associated with the proposed project has the potential to contribute to significant impacts to the environment. Based on this determination, the FAA will either issue a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or the agency will require additional review to further analyze the proposed project and associated impacts.
