Pond’s work includes the development and processing of the new Tower Siting Report in accordance with safety risk management assessments in order to meet all FAA siting criteria components. Pond’s environmental team conducted the Environmental Due Diligence Audits (EDDAs) / Phase I Environmental Site Assessments

Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) for each of the three (3) location alternatives as well as developing a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Environmental Assessment for the Airport & FAA’s preferred location. Pond was also responsible for the design of the new ATCT including new airport access point, site security measures, parking, and utility yard supporting the new tower. The tower itself includes special foundation requirements, mechanical space, electrical space, communications space, and administrative space for management and training functions plus a break area located on the level directly under the controllers.
