“Mounting evidence about
climate change brings with it an
urgency for all of us to protect
the environment for future
generations. Through this
initiative, I hope that we can do
our bit and perhaps set an
example for other airports to
follow.”
–Bob Nicholas

The changing needs of planning
We need to look more broadly at airport planning in general Environmental component of
planning needs to be more than just assessing impacts from development
![Page 12: Presenters Bob Nicholas Airport Manager Charlie McDermott C&S Companies Courtney Armbruster C&S Companies](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5518003d550346d5568b515b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ithaca is the right size facility in the right location Lessons learned can be scaled up or down Community is very supportive of
environmental efforts Synergy exists between sponsor,
community, and other stakeholders Supportive, forward-thinking airport
manager willing to try new approach
The right place; the right time
![Page 13: Presenters Bob Nicholas Airport Manager Charlie McDermott C&S Companies Courtney Armbruster C&S Companies](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5518003d550346d5568b515b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FAA Funding Compelling reason for Ithaca to
be the first Airport Consultant Council (ACC)
support Met with FAA in Washington Sponsor used entitlements to
fund sustainability portion of master plan

Master plan overview Facility requirements
Critical aircraft Forecasts Other goals and objectives of Tompkins County
Consideration of alternatives Environmental impacts
Costs How much? Who pays for it?
Timing and schedule of development What and when do you need it?
What and when do you build it?
![Page 15: Presenters Bob Nicholas Airport Manager Charlie McDermott C&S Companies Courtney Armbruster C&S Companies](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5518003d550346d5568b515b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is a sustainable airport master plan? Looks at traditional airport
master planning in a very different way!
Incorporates sustainability into the planning process
Communicates a meaningful and sustainable development plan

Sustainability baseline assessments Conducted 12 assessments
covering diverse areas of sustainability
Identified biggest weak points and made recommendations
![Page 20: Presenters Bob Nicholas Airport Manager Charlie McDermott C&S Companies Courtney Armbruster C&S Companies](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020110/5518003d550346d5568b515b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Advisory committee Diverse committee members For each identified facility
requirement, consider: How can the project contribute
to meeting the sustainability goals and objectives?
How can the project be enhanced or modified to meet the goals and objectives?

Lessons learned—so far! Complete inventory/baseline
assessments before goals are established
Centralize data collection Keep advisory committee small Electronic surveys/community-based
incentives worked well Leverage higher education resources There’s more to come!
