Federal Aviation Administration


Public Notice for a Change in Use of Aeronautical Property at Los 
Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles, California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is requesting public 
comment on Los Angeles World Airports' (LAWA) request to change 
approximately 5 acres of airport property from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical use.
    The property is located at the northeast intersection of 
Westchester Parkway and Falmouth Avenue. The property is currently 
vacant land with no structures onsite. LAWA requests to develop the 
land with the Argo Drain Sub-Basin Facility. The Sub-Basin Facility is 
primarily an underground storm water treatment facility designed to 
potentially allow open space uses on the surface. The Sub-Basin 
Facility also includes two above-ground elements: A pump facility and 
blower building.

    Documents reflecting the LAWA's request are available, by 
appointment only, at the FAA Los Angeles Airports District Office.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 5, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review at the FAA Los Angeles 
Airports District Office, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Room 3000, 
Lawndale, CA 90261, 310-725-3608. Written comments on LAWA's request 
must be delivered or mailed, 2 copies to: Lemuel del Castillo, 15000 
Aviation Boulevard Room 3000, Lawndale, CA 90261, 310-725-3651.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lemuel del Castillo, 15000 Aviation 
Boulevard, Room 3000, Lawndale, CA 90261, 310-725-3651.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 125 of The Wendell H. Ford Aviation 
Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) requires the 
FAA to provide an opportunity for public notice and comment prior to 
the ``waiver'' or ``modification'' of a sponsor's Federal obligation to 
use certain airport land for aeronautical purposes.
    The following is a brief overview of the request: The project site 
is located within the City of Los Angeles, on LAWA's property, adjacent 
to LAX. The project site is located on the east and west side of 
Falmouth Avenue, just north of Westchester Parkway. The project site is 
vacant land with no structures currently onsite. LAWA requests to 
develop the land with the Argo Drain Sub-Basin Facility (Sub-Basin 
Facility) to address airport environmental compliance needs. The Sub-
Basin Facility is primarily an underground storm water treatment 
facility designed to potentially allow open space uses on the surface. 
The Sub-Basin Facility also includes two above-ground elements: a pump 
facility and blower building. LAWA's industrial areas, existing and 
future capitals improvement projects will need multiple independent 
storm water treatment facilities. This project will avoid the 
construction of multiple independent facilities. The Argo-Drain Sub-
Basin will allow LAWA to achieve a campus-wide approach to compliance 
with Low Impact Development requirements. It will also assist with the 
overall compliance strategy for Industrial General Permit requirements. 
LAWA and Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation will have a lease agreement 
in place in order to address the share of financial responsibility for 
the Sub-Basin Facility.

    Issued in Lawndale, California, on January 23, 2018.

Manager, Los Angeles Airports District Office, Western-Pacific Region.
