DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
Project Title: Alaska Cargo & Cold Storage Facility
Alaska Cargo and Cold Storage, LLC, in cooperation with Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is soliciting comments on a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for proposal to construct cargo infrastructure at ANC in Anchorage, Alaska.
The proposed project will be incorporated into the ANC Airport Layout Plan and requires approval from the FAA and therefore is subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). An environmental assessment has been prepared for the project to consider environmental impacts. The purpose of the proposed project is to develop infrastructure to support air cargo operations at ANC.
The proposed work requiring federal approval would include a new Aircraft Parking Apron, Cargo Warehouse, Cold Storage, Hardstand Fuel Distribution, Ground Support Equipment Shop and Parking, Ancillary/Control Space and Road Connection to Postmark Drive. Construction for the proposed project is anticipated to begin in fall 2023.
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct an energy-efficient, climate-controlled air cargo warehouse facility and hardstand parking for cargo jets at ANC. The purpose of the cargo facilities is to help improve cargo deplaning and enplaning efficiency, provide parking locations for cargo jets where they can power down, and build Alaska’s economy.
To ensure that all possible factors are considered, please provide comments to the following locations by October 15, 2023. Written comments may be sent to Theresa Dutchuk at tdutchuk@dowl.com or comments by phone may be directed to (907) 865-1238.
