TEXAS 77620 • PHONE (713) 422-8213 <br />3011 SAN JACINTO, SUITE 106 • HOUSTON, TEXAS 77004 (713) 623.2367 <br />August 24, 1979 <br />Honorable Mayor and City Commission <br />City of La Porte <br />P. 0. Box 1115 <br />La Porte, TX 77571 <br />PROPOSAL TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR <br />THE CITY OF LA PORTE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT <br />The Federal Aviation Agency has informed us that money is still available in this <br />fiscal year to fund the City of La Porte for preparation of an Environmental Impact <br />Assessment Report (ETAR). Any construction as proposed in the currently ongoing <br />Airport Master Planning Study cannot be initiated until this document is prepared <br />and reviewed. <br />• The EIAR is a very detailed document. Preparation of the report will require a <br />great deal of research and subcontract work to an archeaologist and biologist. <br />It is estimated that the cost of preparing the report will be in the vicinity of <br />$15,000.00. The report will take approximately 4 months to prepare and would be <br />funded 80% by FAA and 20% by the City. <br />Preparing the application is a relatively simple matter and can be completed within <br />several days. Upon receipt of the application package, the FAA will require three <br />and a half weeks to process it and make a grant offer. <br />Since the FAA's Fiscal Year ends September 30, it is very important to prepare the <br />application and submit it to the FAA for their review as soon as possible. It is not <br />known whether funds will be available or when they might be available in Fiscal Year <br />1980 for the La Porte Airport. <br />With the City's authorization, we can begin immediately to prepare and submit the <br />application. <br />Sincerely, <br />`.ai~~N~'w~ <br />~~a~ <br />David A.
