ALTERNATIVES

Preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is guided by the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). One of those requirements is that the EIS consider a full range of alternatives to the proposed project. In the case of the EIS for the replacement runway and terminal development at Port Columbus International Airport, the following alternative scenarios will be examined in the EIS:

  • 2006 Baseline Condition
  • Alternative 1: 2013 No-Action
  • Alternative 2: 2013 Alternative Proposed Runway Alternative
    - Air Traffic Option A: With the Part 150 Actions
    - Air Traffic Option B: Without the Part 150 Actions
  • Alternative 3: 2018 No-Action
  • Alternative 4: 2018 Proposed Action Alternative
    - Air Traffic Option A: With the Part 150 Actions
    - Air Traffic Option B: Without the Part 150 Actions
  • Alternative 5: 2018 Proposed Runway Alternative with Expansion of Existing Terminal
    - Air Traffic Option A: With the Part 150 Actions
    - Air Traffic Option B: Without the Part 150 Actions
