1 CHAPTER TWO THE PROPOSAL 2.0 AIRPORT SPONSOR S PROPOSED PROJECT The Airport Sponsor s Proposed Project includes the following elements, which are depicted in Exhibit 2-1, Sponsor s Proposed Project: Expand and elevate Runway 9R/27L to an overall length of 8,000 feet and width of 150 feet. The reconstructed Runway 9R/27L would also be equipped with an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) 1 at both runway ends. [The Airport Sponsor s proposed runway development project was conceptually depicted on Broward County s Project Layout Drawing (PLD) dated 12/05 and submitted to the FAA Orlando Airport District Office (ADO). Although the PLD established an overall runway lengths of 8,197 feet, the FAA and Broward County agreed that the overall length of Runway 9R/27L would need to be shortened to 8,000 feet to achieve full compliance with the Runway Safety Area (RSA) design criteria; specifically to avoid having a portion of the RSA for Runway 27 in the Dania Cut-Off Canal.] Elevate Runway 9R end to an elevation of eight feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL); elevate Runway 27L end to an elevation of 45 feet MSL. Preliminary engineering analyses prepared by Broward County consultants have determined that the runway platform needs to provide a minimum of feet of vertical clearance over the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway. This consists of 23.5 feet top of rail to inside top of tunnel, five feet top slab thickness, two feet minimum earth cover at edge of RSA over tunnel slab and 4.24 feet to allow for a minimum 1.5 percent transverse runway pavement slope. This results in a 0.6 percent grade from west to east. [Information from URS Corporation report dated 02/05, Proposed Reconstruction/Extension of Runway 9R/27L Evaluation of Runway Length and Grade.] Construct a new full-length parallel taxiway 75 feet wide on the north side of Runway 9R/27L with separation of 400 feet from 9R/27L. This proposed taxiway would accommodate Airplane Design Group (ADG) IV aircraft. [Conceptually depicted on Broward County s PLD dated 12/05 and submitted to the FAA Orlando ADO.] Construct an outer dual parallel taxiway that would be separated from the proposed north side parallel taxiway by 276 feet. 1 Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) is a "soft ground arresting system" consisting of a crushable cellular cement material installed on the runway overrun in a predetermined bed layout. EMAS provides a reliable and predictable capability to stop an aircraft by crushing under the weight of an aircraft providing deceleration and a safe stop. See FAA Order , Financial Feasibility and Equivalency of Runway Safety Area Improvements and Engineered Material Arresting Systems. June 2008 Page 2-1

2 Conceptually depicted on the Broward County PLD dated 12/05 and submitted to the FAA Orlando ADO. Since publication of the Draft EIS in March 2007 and based on a decision made by Broward County during a Commission Briefing on the airport master plan, a temporary runway is no longer being considered during the construction period for any of the alternatives. 2 [Conceptually depicted on URS exhibit, Proposed South Runway with Temporary Runway, dated September 23, 2005.] Construct connecting taxiways from the proposed full-length parallel taxiway to existing taxiways. [Conceptually depicted on Broward County s Airport Layout Plan (ALP) dated 4/05 and submitted to the FAA Orlando ADO by letter dated April 13, 2005.] Construct an Instrument Landing System (ILS) for landings on Runways 9R and 27L. Runway ends 9R and 27L would have a Category I ILS, which includes a Medium Intensity Approach Light System with runway alignment indicator lights (MALSR), localizer, and glideslope. [Noted in URS Corporation report dated 02/05, Proposed Reconstruction / Extension of Runway 9R/27L Evaluation of Runway Length and Grade.] Decommission Runway 13/31. This action is based on a letter to the FAA from Broward County (dated November 1, 2004) referencing the County s Airfield Development Program Object Statement which includes the statement decommission the use of Runway 13/31 (crosswind). 3 Terminal Gate Redevelopment. Broward County directed the FAA to use Option 2B of the Airport Master Plan Update Phase 2, to define the footprint for the redevelopment of the terminal gate area The construction and operation of a temporary runway was discussed by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners at the January 22, 2008 Commission Briefing on the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Master Plan Preferred Alternative Update. A copy of this letter, dated November 1, 2004, is provided in this EIS in Appendix C, FAA/Airport Sponsor s Correspondence.

3 Per the analysis provided by Broward County, 5 the number of gates needed to accommodate the projected levels of passenger related activity through 2020 ranges between 78 to 84 gates. 6 [Source: Leigh Fisher Associates report dated January 2006, Master Plan Update Phase I, Draft Final Summary Report. Development Option 2B, Figure 6-24, Figure 6-25, and pp to 6-23.] 2.1 CONNECTED ACTIONS: 7 Close Airport Perimeter Road located within the approach to Runway 9R [Noted in URS Corporation report dated 02/05, Proposed Reconstruction/ Extension of Runway 9R/27L Evaluation of Runway Length and Grade.] Relocate ASR-9 [Source: FAA Southern Region Airport Surveillance Radar Site Survey Report, ASR-9 Relocation, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, 1/3/06] Acquire all, or a portion, of the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport Hotel (formerly the Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Airport Hotel) located at 1870 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to the extent, a portion of the existing structure would be located within the Proposed Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) for extended Runway 9R/27L. Acquire all, or a portion, of the Dania Boat Sales located at 1880 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to the extent, a portion of the existing structures would be located within the Proposed Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) for extended Runway 9R/27L. 2.2 REFINEMENT OF THE SPONSOR S PROPOSED PROJECT The Airport Sponsor s Proposed Project evolved over time through interaction between the FAA and Broward County (the Airport Sponsor). The FAA worked with Broward County to refine the Proposed Project, for the purposes of conducting the MEMORANDUM to Bolfi Posadas, Broward County Aviation Department. From Larry Coleman, LFA (Leigh Fisher Associates). Subject: Gate Requirement Analysis for Master Plan Update, Phase 1. Dated January 20, This memorandum provides a description of the factors that were considered and the methodology that was used by LFA to derive these estimates followed by a review of the findings and results. (Leigh Fisher Associates is now Jacobs Consultancy.) The proposed development of Concourse A at Terminal 1 is depicted on Exhibit 2-1, Sponsor s Proposed Project, as future development. FAA has determined that this project is independent and has separate utility from the proposed project and associated actions being analyzed in this EIS. Broward County prepared an environmental assessment for the proposed development of Concourse A, which includes the construction of five gates. These five gates are included in the total number of gates projected to be needed by The potential environmental impacts of the proposed development of Concourse A at Terminal 1 are disclosed in this EIS in Chapter Seven, Cumulative Impacts.

June 2008 Page 2-4

5 (4) County s Airfield Development Program Objective Statement adopted by the Commission on October 26, (5) December 23, 2005: Project Layout Drawing (PLD) prepared by URS Corporation for Broward County; shows the redevelopment and extension of Runway 9R/27L to a full length of 8,197 feet and the use of Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) on both runway ends. (6) January 17, 2006: The FAA presented a status briefing to the Commission on the analysis to date and the progress made on the development and evaluation of alternatives. The purpose of the briefing was to obtain the Commission s consensus on the purpose and need statements and the airfield alternatives to be considered for detailed evaluation in the Draft EIS. During that meeting, the Commission requested that the FAA review an iteration of the Airport Sponsor s Proposed Project that would consider the use of Engineered Material Arresting Systems (EMAS) at both ends of Runway 9R/27L. (The use of EMAS would allow the overall length of the proposed runway to be shorter (approximately 8,000 feet) thereby eliminating the need to use declared distance 8 to improve runway operational capability.) Pursuant to the Commission s request, an alternative was developed for the redevelopment and extension of Runway 9R/27L between the Dania Cut- Off Canal and NE 7th Avenue that is served with EMAS, rather than a standard RSA. (7) July 31, 2006: Meeting held with Broward County and the FAA EIS Team. Broward County determined that the Airport Sponsor s Proposed Project would include the runway as described by the Commission at the January 17, 2006 FAA briefing (the use of EMAS at both ends of Runway 9R/27L) 9 along with the implementation of the proposed runway use per the County s Interlocal Agreements Per FAA Advisory Circular 150/ Airport Design, Declared distance is defined as the distances the airport owner declares available for the airplane s takeoff run, takeoff distance, accelerate-stop distance, and landing distance requirements. The runway as proposed on the Project Layout Drawing (PLD) shows Runway 9R/27L at 8,197 feet. The EIS analysis of runway redevelopment alternatives justifies an overall length of 8,000 feet (see Chapter Four Alternatives, Alternative B1b and Alternative B1c Airport Sponsor s Proposed Project) predicated on the EMAS Design Requirements prescribed in FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/ A, Engineered Materials Arresting Systems for Aircraft Overruns. The installation of EMAS on a precision runway must provide a minimum of 600 feet of Standard Runway Safety Area (RSA) beyond the physical end of the runway. The design aircraft for Runway 9R/27L is a B which corresponds with Airport Reference Code D-IV, therefore, the overall width of the Standard RSA for runways configured with EMAS is 500 feet (per FAA Order , Financial Feasibility and Equivalency of Runway Safety Area Improvements and Engineered Material Arresting Systems). In accordance with this criterion, if Runway 9R/27L is configured at 8,197 feet the southwestern corner of the RSA would extend into the Dania Cut-Off Canal. Therefore, Runway 9R/27L has been reconfigured at to an overall length of 8,000 feet.

7 January 17, 2006: The FAA briefs the Commission on study areas, preliminary purpose and need, and alternatives for EIS analysis. The Commission requests that the FAA review an iteration of the Airport Sponsor s Proposed Project that would consider the use of EMAS at both ends of Runway 9R/27L. January 18, 2006: The FAA coordinates and requests concurrence with local, state, and Federal agencies on study areas, preliminary purpose and need, and alternatives for EIS analysis in accordance with Vision 100 streamlining policies. January 18 and 19, 2006: The FAA conducts focus group meetings with neighborhood representatives regarding study areas, preliminary purpose and need, and alternatives for EIS analysis. February 2, 2006: The FAA conducts interim public workshop on study areas, preliminary purpose and need, and alternatives for EIS analysis. July 31, 2006: Meeting held with Broward County and the FAA EIS Team. Broward County determined that the Airport Sponsor s Proposed Project would include the runway as described by the Commission at the January 17, 2006 FAA briefing (the use of EMAS at both ends of Runway 9R/27L) along with the implementation of the proposed runway use per the County s Interlocal Agreements. 13 The County s Interlocal Agreements are described in Chapter Five, Affected Environment. January 2007: The FAA publishes the 2006 Terminal Area Forecast (TAF). The data originally used to prepare the Draft EIS was based on the 2004 FAA TAF published in January The 2006 FAA TAF projected a continued, but significantly lower, rate of growth in aviation demand at FLL than the 2004 FAA TAF. The 2006 FAA TAF projections also affected a significant change in the aircraft fleet and number of operations. Therefore, the FAA requested that the two future analysis years be revised to reflect the projected growth for 2012 and 2020 contained in the 2006 FAA TAF. March 30, 2007: A notice of the availability of the Draft EIS is published in the Federal Register, which began a 53-day comment period. May 1, 2007: A Workshop and Public hearing on the Draft EIS is held at the Broward County Convention Center in the City of Fort Lauderdale. April 18, 2007: The FAA conducts Agency Streamlining Coordination meeting to present the Draft EIS. April 17-19, 2007: The FAA conducts district wide briefings to present the Draft EIS. June 5, 2007: Broward County conducts public hearing and votes to confirm Alternative B1c as their Proposed Project. October 2007: The FAA conducts Airport tenant and airline coordination meetings. 2.3 LIST OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PERMITS AND APPROVALS The following actions are required by Federal agencies (other than the FAA) and state and local agencies for implementation of the Airport Sponsor s Proposed Project: 13 Virginia Lane, FAA letter to Tom Jargiello, Director of Aviation Fort Broward County Aviation Department RE: Environmental Impact Statement Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport FAA EIS Noise Modeling Assumptions for the Airport Sponsor s Proposed Project, August 7, Tom Jargiello, Director of Aviation Broward County Aviation Department letter to Virginia Lane, FAA, August 22, Letters found in Appendix C, FAA/Airport Sponsor s Correspondence.
