Chicago O’Hare International Airport Final EIS
Appendix S S-1 July 2005
APPENDIX S SCOPING DOCUMENTATION
• S.1 Introduction
• Attachment S-1, Notice of Intent
• Attachment S-2, O’Hare Modernization Program (OMP) Scoping Summary
S.1 INTRODUCTION
NEPA requires in 40 CFR 1501.7 “an early and open process for determining the scope of issues to be addressed and for identifying significant issues related to the proposed action.”
Furthermore, FAA Order 5050.4A indicates that a well choreographed scoping period will result in an EIS that is not only refined, but also well focused on pertinent issues. The FAA uses scoping to ensure that the EIS documents and addresses the concerns of both the public as well as other governmental agencies. Chapter 2, Paragraph, 208c. of FAA Order 1050.1E1 states:
Public input is important in defining the scope of FAA NEPA documents. Public involvement is required when the FAA prepares an EIS (40 CFR 1501.4(d)). Public involvement must be provided for, to the extent practicable, while an EA is being drafted (40 CFR 1501.4(b)). Although there is no standard approach to public scoping, it is important that FAA facilitate public participation in that process as well. Therefore, the FAA should tailor public scoping processes to match the complexity of the proposal.
The first step in the scoping process is to issue a Notice of Intent (NOI).2 A copy of this NOI is included as Attachment S-1. This notice must be published in the Federal Register, and it is recommended that it be published in local media as well. In adherence to the order, the FAA published the Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and To Conduct Environmental Scoping for Improvements To the O'Hare International Airport, in Chicago, IL in the Federal Register on July 17, 2002 and in local newspapers.
Given the complexity of the proposed projects, the FAA conducted a total of four scoping meetings. Two were designed for the general public, and two were designed for other governmental agencies. The comments received from each of the four meetings, as well as material presented at the meetings, were later consolidated into a single volume. This document, O’Hare Modernization Program Scoping Summary,3 was prepared by the CCT at the direction of the FAA. The FAA reviewed the document and also provided comments for revision. The City revised the document in December 2002 to incorporate the FAA comments. The December 2002 edition of the OMP Scoping Summary is included as Attachment S-2.

O’HARE MODERNIZATION PROGRAM (OMP) SCOPING SUMMARY
To facilitate early and open communication during development of the City of Chicago’s proposed O’Hare Modernization Program (OMP) and preparation of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), a thorough agency and public ‘scoping’ participation process was conducted. The guidelines for conducting scoping are contained within the CEQ Regulations, 40 C.F.R. § 1501.7, which provide that “there shall be an early and open process for determining the scope of issues to be addressed and for identifying the significant issues related to the proposed action.” Scoping provides the opportunity for maximum public and agency participation during the preparation and development of the FAA’s EIS. This process included numerous briefings with local, state, and Federal regulatory agencies, elected officials, and the public to present the O’Hare Modernization Program and to determine the range of issues to be identified. These activities included:
• Pre-Scoping Coordination • Federal Register publication of a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) and conduct Scoping • Public and Agency Scoping • Informational Meeting
The following sections describe the scoping activities conducted for the O’Hare Modernization Program EIS process.
A. Pre-Scoping Coordination Early-on, the City of Chicago and the Federal Aviation Administration met with various interested community organizations including Federal, state, and local organizations to facilitate consideration of key issues and an understanding of the Proposed Project. Prior to Scoping, the City of Chicago provided nearly 90 briefings and other public outreach opportunities at which information about the O’Hare Modernization Program was presented and made available. Table 1 identifies the pre-scoping briefings and public outreach conducted by the City. Table 1 Pre-Scoping City Briefings and Public Outreach

In addition, the Federal Aviation Administration conducted several agency briefings to help determine key issues for consideration for the proposed O’Hare Modernization Program. Pre-Scoping coordination was conducted with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USF&WS), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and the Federal Highway Administration (USFHWA) as follows: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - The meeting was held on Friday, June, 21, 2002 at the USCOE offices located at 111 North Canal, Chicago, IL. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USF&WS) – The meeting was held on Thursday, June 20, 2002, at the USF&WS offices in Barrington, IL. United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) - The meeting was held on Monday, June 10, 2002, at the USEPA Region 5 offices in Chicago, IL. Federal Highway Administration (USFHWA) - The meeting was held on Tuesday, May 7, 2002 at Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) offices in Springfield, IL. In general, for each meeting an overview of both the environmental process and O’Hare Modernization Program was provided. A general schedule including consultant selection, preparation of the EIS, issuance of Draft and Final EIS, public hearing and issuance of the Record of Decision (ROD) were also discussed. FAA/Department of Aviation (DOA) provided a summary of wetlands on airport, and provided an illustration of how wetland areas might be affected by the proposed OMP development. The FAA discussed implementing an interagency agreement/Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for establishing coordination protocol and for the evaluation of wetlands with the USACE, USEPA, USF&WS, and other agencies for both a general agreement and project agreement specific to O’Hare Modernization Program - similar to the 'Highway' 404 merger process/agreement. These meetings were conducted by Michael MacMullen, Environmental Program Manager for the O’Hare Modernization Program, FAA’s Chicago Airports District Office.
B. Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and Conduct Scoping
In accordance with Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the FAA issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and to conduct Environmental Scoping for the Modernization of the O’Hare International Airport. A notice was published in the Federal Register on July 17, 2002. A copy of the notice is included in Section I of this report. The NOI contained a brief description of the Proposed Project and the location of the four (4) meetings, two agency scoping meetings and two public scoping meetings. See sections E and F of this document. In addition to publication of the Notice of Intent in the Federal Register, legal notices were also published in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Daily Herald and Daily Southtown on July 19, 2002. The legal notices were published to notify and invite the public to the scoping meetings. Copies of the certificates of publication are included in Section I of this report.

D. Scoping Materials Informational materials were made available during the scoping process. At each of the meetings, scoping documents, public handouts, and notices of intent were on hand for participants to learn about the project. Comment forms were made available for individuals to make comments. Both the public handouts and the comment forms were offered in Spanish and English. Presentation boards were also displayed at all the meetings to illustrate the environmental process and the proposed development. Select presentation boards were also displayed in Spanish. Copies of the OMP scoping materials are included in Section IV.
E. Agency Scoping Due both to the anticipated high level of interest in matters pertaining to O’Hare International Airport, and a desire to fully accommodate potentially interested persons, agencies, and other entities, the FAA conducted two (2) agency scoping meetings and two (2) public scoping meetings. The agency scoping meetings were conducted on August 19, 2002 at the Illinois Department of Transportation, Auditorium Conference Room, 2300 South Dirksen Parkway, Springfield, Illinois from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on August 20, 2002 at the Metcalfe Federal Building, Lake Ontario Room, 12th Floor, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. As presented in Tables 2 and 3, 13 people signed-in and attended the meeting on August 19th and 25 people signed-in and attended the meeting on August 20th.

Name Affiliation/Organization Rupert Merdock Fox TV Bob McCopping Daily Herald At both public scoping meetings, a City of Chicago representative was available to assist attendees in identifying the location of their properties relative to the location of the Airport, utilizing the City’s property locator program. Upon request, addresses were input into the program and properties were identified on an aerial photograph for a ten-mile radius surrounding the Airport. The properties were displayed on a computer monitor and printed out for attendees. The Tables 6 and 7 below contain summary information about the number of unique addresses by community that were provided by attendees at each of the two public scoping meetings. The information was also obtained from the sign-in sheets at each of the meetings. Exhibit 1 illustrates the attendees by community from both public meetings.

G. Informational Meeting In addition to the four scoping meetings, the FAA conducted an informational meeting on August 29, 2002. The informational meeting was held at the FAA Great Lakes Regional Office in Des Plaines to give local mayors and leaders from communities around the Airport an additional opportunity to meet with FAA and City of Chicago representatives and ask questions and/or voice their concerns. As shown in Table 8, sixteen people attended the meeting. A court reporter was present to record the meeting. A copy of the transcript is included in Section VI of this report.

H. Scoping Comments Scoping Comments were received through the close of the business on Friday, September 13, 2002. As shown in Table 9, 305 individuals commented during scoping regarding the O’Hare Modernization Program at Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Ninety-three individuals gave oral testimony and the remaining 212 comments were in the form of comment forms, letters and e-mails. Some individuals commented more than once. All comments received at any of the four scoping meetings, mayoral informational meeting, or those received by the Federal Aviation Administration are included in Sections VI, Transcripts and VII, Comments. Section VI includes all the transcripts from the four scoping meetings and the informational meeting.

All of the scoping comments received during the comment period were reviewed and summarized by issue group (type of comment). Table 9 identifies the individual/organization commentor, form of comment (oral or written), first page of the original comment, and the issue group. Table 10 summarizes all scoping comments including oral testimony, comment forms, letters, and e-mail by issue group, unique identifier (an ID), comment summary, and individual/organization commentor, including a page number(s). As shown in Table 10, a total of 1,385 comments were summarized and given a unique identifier corresponding to a particular issue group. Fourteen issue groups have been identified with a letter, from A-N and each comment summary has been assigned a letter and a number. Some comments contained more than one issue and as such were summarized and categorized in more than one issue group. For instance, a comment could have included references to several different topics including, purpose and need, air quality, and noise. In such a case, a comment would be found in all three groups with three different identifiers (A-23, E-36, and F-37). All comments were categorized in the following 14 issue groups.
A. Purpose and Need B. Project Description C. Alternatives D. Aviation Forecasts/Delays E. Air Quality F. Noise G. Safety/Security
H. Socioeconomic I. Other Environmental Issues J. Surface Transportation K. Quality of Life/Health Effects L. Cumulative Impacts M. Agency and Public Coordination N. Other
Within each issue group, comments are alphabetized by last name of the commentor, with each comment labeled by a unique identifier consisting of a letter and a number, an issue group (type of comment) and a number (sequentially numbered and alphabetized by commentor). For instance, William Baird commented on purpose and need (issue group ‘A’), so his comment is labeled ‘A-1’. Using the unique comment identifier/label, each comment can then be found in either oral or written comments, Section VI, Scoping Transcripts or Section VII, Scoping Comments. Comments are bracketed and labeled accordingly. Table 10 identifies a page number to find the original comment. Because of additions, deletions, and re-categorizations of comments, which occurred during review, some unique identifiers may appear to be missing. For instance, in the N issue group (Other), the identifying labels go from N-11 to N-13 because comment N-12 has been re-categorized, making the original identifier obsolete. Additionally, if a comment was added to an issue group where the commentor’s name fell between two existing comment summaries, ID’s were extended with a decimal rather than re-numbering the entire issue group. For instance, in the N group (Other) two comment summaries were added between N-13 and N-14. The new comments became N-13.1 and N-13.2.
