SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – PROPOSED RUNWAY 9 DISPLACED THRESHOLD The FAA has plans to rehabilitate the MALSR lighting station piles that extend into the Navy Boat Channel and has released a Final Environmental Assessment 19 evaluating potential environmental effects associated with that work. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was issued for the rehabilitation of the MALSR lighting station piles on June 19, 2012. 20 The changes to the MALSR system that would need to occur due to the relocated displaced threshold would involve the relocation of some of the MALSR lights but would not result in the relocation of piles in the Navy Boat Channel. The MALSR lights are positioned based on the landing threshold; the relocation of the Runway 9 displaced threshold would require the relocation of the MALSR lights, as depicted on Figure 1-5. The relocated displaced threshold would also require the relocation of the glide slope antenna. The Runway 9 precision instrument approach would be modified to a 3.1 degree glide slope, a threshold crossing height of 55 feet, and a decision height of 250 feet with a 1/2-mile or greater visibility minimum. 1.6 Requested Federal Action The federal actions being requested of the FAA by the SDCRAA include: Unconditional approval of the portion of the ALP that depicts the proposed Runway 9 displaced threshold project pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40103(b), 44718, and 47107(a)(16), and 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 77, Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace. The ALP depicting the proposed improvements has been processed by the FAA to determine conformance with FAA design criteria and implications for Federal grant agreements (refer to 14 CFR Part 16). The FAA has determined that the Proposed Action, as described in Section 1.5, is consistent with existing airspace utilization and procedures. The ALP was evaluated under airspace case number 2012-AWP-662-NRA (Appendix A). Determination of eligibility for federal assistance under the Federal grant-in-aid program authorized by the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended, and pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47101 et. seq. Establishment of flight procedure modifications pursuant to 14 CFR Part 95, Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Altitudes. Implementation of revised air traffic control procedures below 3,000 feet above ground level. Processing of airspace changes, installation, and/or relocation of FAA equipment (e.g., Instrument Landing System, Approach Lighting System, and Runway Status Lights). Installation, relocation, operation, and maintenance of navigational aids required to support the Proposed Action by FAA Airway Facilities Division. 19 20 Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, Final Environmental Assessment, Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with Runway Alignment Indicator Lights, San Diego International Airport, San Diego CA, June 2012.

Purpose and Need [1-26] Draft EA
SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – PROPOSED RUNWAY 9 DISPLACED THRESHOLD Approval of the appropriate amendments to the Airport Certification Manual pursuant to 14 CFR Part 139 and 49 U.S.C. 44706 and/or approval of an application to use Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs). Appropriate amendment to air carrier operations specifications pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 44705. Determination under 49 U.S.C. 44502(b) that the Proposed Action is reasonably necessary for use in air commerce or in the interest of national defense. Continued close coordination with the City of San Diego and appropriate FAA program offices, as required, to ensure safety during construction pursuant to 14 CFR Part 139, Certification of Airports, under 49 U.S.C. 44706. 1.7 General Implementation Timeframe After careful review of the Environmental Assessment, if FAA issues a finding that determines that the proposed project would result in no significant environmental impacts, then approval of the ALP to allow construction of the proposed project would be made. Construction of the Proposed Action would occur within 12 months if a favorable environmental finding is issued. Draft EA Purpose and Need [1-27]
