The airport environmental planning services offered by Ricondo & Associates draw upon a unique blend of talents that allows our staff not only to perform the required technical analyses, but also to assist clients in the federal and state permitting and approvals processes, as discussed further below. Often during these processes, many important airport improvement programs become mired in issues that significantly delay, and increase the cost of, project implementation.
The significant experience of Ricondo & Associates staff in airport planning ensures that the project is clearly defined, that underlying assumptions reflect the most current conditions, and that the documentation is in accordance with National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) requirements and any other applicable state and local regulations, and can be expeditiously processed by the Federal Aviation Administration and state agencies.
R&A differs from most firms that offer airport environmental services in that we assist our clients in expediting the federal and state permitting and approvals processes. Our ability to provide this service is based on our experience working with the FAA and airport operators, as well as experience assisting clients with major airport projects across the United States, which have involved developing solutions to complex planning and environmental issues.
