Environmental Assessment
Welcome to the Virtual Self-guided Open House!
Overview
The Coos County Airport District (CCAD) owns and operates the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport (OTH) in North Bend, Oregon. CCAD is proposing to construct improvements to the runway safety area (RSA) at the northeastern end of OTH’s main runway 5/23 (Proposed Action) to comply with current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) RSA design standards. The RSA is the surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion from the runway.
The draft Environmental Assessment (EA) identifies the potential environmental impacts associated with the Proposed Action, as well as how any identified impacts could be avoided, minimized, or mitigated. The EA has been prepared pursuant to FAA requirements for compliance (FAA Order 1051.f) with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Links are provided below to access the draft Environmental Assessment.
