Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment for 
the Jackson Hole Airport Master Plan

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Jackson Hole Airport Board has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for its proposed Master Plan 
improvements. Jackson Hole Airport is located within Grand Teton 
National Park in Wyoming. The need for the project arose due to safety 
concerns as a result of recent incidents of aircraft overrunning the 
runway, as well as concerns over the degree of congestion which occurs 
in the terminal building during peak travel periods. The EA addresses 
the potential environmental effects of a Preferred Alternative and 
numerous other options. The Preferred Project includes construction of 
stopways at each runway end, shifting the runway to the north to meet 
current FAA safety area requirements, retention of the current 6300-
foot runway length, expansion of the terminal by 10,000 square feet, 
improved navigational aids, and the addition of a control tower and 
radar. All improvements for the Preferred Alternative are within the 
leased boundary of the Airport. Other alternatives examined in the EA 
included No Action, navigational aids, runway extensions of various 
lengths, 1,000 foot stopways, soft material arresting systems, and a 
30,000 square foot terminal expansion.

DATES: Written comments addressing the adequacy of the Draft EA will be 
received through December 13, 1995. Comments should be sent to Mr. 
George Larson, Airport Director, Jackson Hole Airport, P.O. Box 159, 
Jackson, WY 83001. Oral and written comments may also be made in person 
at a public hearing in Jackson, Wyoming scheduled for the afternoon and 
evening of November 20, 1995. Please call (307) 733-7695 for details on 
the time and place of this meeting.

ADDRESSES: The Draft EA became available for public review on September 
29, 1995. Copies are available for review at Jackson Hole
