TheRSA includes all pavements, shoulders, turf, blast pads, and stopways as applicable. Theproject also includes enhancements to the Runway 1 hold apron and infrastructure.Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) – Crosswind Runways Safety Area (RSAs),$3,809,000.

Preliminary design results onthe initial phase of the project indicate that additional rehabilitation will be required on therunway and taxiway. The 37 percent increase in estimated costs is due to a rise in the priceof asphalt.Noise Monitoring System, $1,049,000. The project replaces and/or upgrades the currentnoise monitoring equipment at Reagan National and Dulles International to provide a longtermcommitment for monitoring aircraft noise from Reagan National and Dulles Internationalflight operations.New Apron at Demolished ARFF Site, $6,124,000.
