Coffman Associates is specialized in environmental planning for
airports. Our experience in this field is unmatched by any other firm in the
United States, both in terms of quantity of approved environmental projects and
the diversity of the environmental issues addressed. Coffman Associates has
conducted hundreds of environmental studies throughout the country.
While many of the projects have been complex and highly
controversial, we have never failed to provide adequate justification and
documentation on the project to obtain Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
approval. When warranted, we have successfully developed mitigation measures
for potentially significant impacts, considering the effected agency's
concerns, as well as those of the airport sponsor.
With our considerable experience in environmental studies for
airport improvement projects, our staff has a working knowledge of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and FAA guidance on compliance with this and
other environmental laws, including FAA's National Environmental Policy
(NEPA) Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions (Order 5050.4B) and FAA's
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures (Order 1050.1E). Since
nearly all of our work has been completed for projects funded through the FAA
grants, we have established working relationships with FAA planners,
environmental review staff and the policies and procedures unique to the FAA.
Our expertise also includes the specialized requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Our firm has completed numerous
Initial Studies and six Environmental Impact Reports for airports within
California.
