Description: A new 16-inch sewer force main will be installed underground. During construction, excavation
and earth moving equipment will be operated within 240 feet of the runway. There will be temporary impacts
from construction equipment. The tallest construction equipment is an excavator, with a maximum loading
height of 19 feet.
We do not object with conditions to the construction described in this proposal provided:
You comply with the requirements set forth in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-2, "Operational Safety on
Airports During Construction."
The construction equipment is appropriately marked with flags and red lights (see below) and appropriate
NOTAM(s) are issued.
The runway must be closed if working in the Runway Safety Area (RSA) and taxiway closed if working in
Taxiway Safety Area (TSA).
There are no construction activities and/or open trenches within the Runway Safety Area when the runway is
open for landing/departure of aircraft.
There is no contraction equipment operation closer than 400 feet from the Runway 29 threshold and 250 feet
either side of the runway when the runway is open to landing/departure of aircraft.
Any equipment operation between 400-600 feet of the Runway 29 end and/or 250 feet either side of the runway
will be conducted when visibility condition are visual.
Your proposal impacts the following National Airspace System (NAS) equipment:

The proponent must notify the Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) owner of the possibility
of increased contamination to the sensors and potential for increased maintenance interval as a result of
construction activities in the area. General construction or cultivated area within one thousand feet (1000') that
causes flying dust and dirt can contaminate the AWOS Facility sensors.
The Airport sponsor shall notify the FAA's Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Planning and Requirements (P&R)
Service Area office a minimum of 45 days prior to the "physical construction start date" for this project. Submit
FAA Form entitled Airport Sponsor Strategic Event Submission Form including all date, time and/or duration
changes via email to [email protected].
You comply with Chapters 3, 4, 5, 12 of Advisory Circular 70/7460-1L, Obstruction Marking and Lighting.
There are impacts to instrument approach procedures (KW29):
20:1 penetration Rwy 29, mark and light or remove from area at night. NEH = 25 w/1A. Departure impact Rwy
11 close in obstruction while equipment is in place. requires a NOTAM denoting location and height, requires
working 3 day/72 hour prior notice to publish this NOTAM, NEH= 25 w/1A.
You must contact the FAA Dulles Airports Division Office at (718) 553-3330 at least three business days prior
to raising the crane(s) to allow sufficient time for the FAA to issue NOTAMs that will adjust aircraft operating
minimums at the airport to a safe level. Please provide the aeronautical study number given on the subject line
of this letter.
A separate notice to the FAA is required for any construction equipment, such as temporary cranes, whose
working limits would exceed the height and lateral dimensions of your proposal.
This determination does not constitute FAA approval or disapproval of the physical development involved in
the proposal. It is a determination with respect to the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft and
with respect to the safety of persons and property on the ground.
In making this determination, the FAA has considered matters such as the effects the proposal would have on
existing or planned traffic patterns of neighboring airports, the effects it would have on the existing airspace
structure and projected programs of the FAA, the effects it would have on the safety of persons and property
on the ground, and the effects that existing or proposed manmade objects (on file with the FAA), and known
natural objects within the affected area would have on the airport proposal.
If you have any questions concerning this determination contact Mindy Lee (703) 661-1364
