This Environmental Assessment (EA), prepared in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, documents the potential effects to the environment that may result from the optimization of Air Traffic Control (ATC) procedures that would standardize aircraft routing to and from airports in Northern California, including San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Metropolitan Oakland International Airport (OAK), Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport (SJC), and Sacramento International Airport (SMF). The Proposed Action, the subject of this EA, is called the Optimization of Airspace and Procedures in the Northern California Metroplex or “NorCal OAPM” Project. The procedures designed for the NorCal OAPM Project would be used by arriving and departing aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) at the study area airports (“the Study Airports”), using currently available navigational technology.
