Draft Environmental Assessment Ea Environmental Impact Evaluation Eie For Obstruction Removal Bradley International Airport Bdl PDF Download

The Environmental Assessment (EA) documents the evaluation of potential impacts associated with tree removal at Bradley International Airport, which is operated by the Connecticut Airport Authority (CAA). The evaluation addresses obstruction removal associated with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, Safe, Efficient use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace and published Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS), which define the airspace surrounding runways. Objects that penetrate the airspace are classified as airspace obstructions, and should be removed to safely accomodate approaching and departing aircraft. As the airspace surfaces extend well beyond the airport's property boundary, the EA includes an off-airport obstruction removal and mitigation review. It is noted that tree removal activities may require environmental easements for removals located on private property.
