  • Abstract:
    The civilian aviation industry is increasingly being required to comply with the myriad environmental laws currently in force. To gain a better understanding of the types of environmental issues that are being dealt with in the industry, a survey of consulting firms specializing in environmental work at airports was undertaken. The consulting firms were contacted by telephone and asked to answer a specific set of qualitative and quantitative questions from a survey questionnaire. The results of the survey indicated that the majority of the environmental work at civilian aviation facilities is conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in the form of Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) and environmental audits. Work conducted under the Clean Water Act (CWA) was found to be the second--most important type of work according to the survey participants. Third-- and fourth--most important environmental work indicated was work under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Emergency Planning and Community Right--to--KnowAct (EPCRA). Other environmental issues were indicated as significant by less than 10 percent of the respondents. References, Appendix. 17 p.
