Runway Development Project (RDP) - Environmental Assessment – Comprehensive
Study
The Calgary Airport Authority is committed to ensuring that airport operations and
expansion occur with minimal impact on human and environmental health. Therefore,
all projects at YYC that may impact the environment are subjected to an Environmental
Assessment (EA).
A Comprehensive Study (CS) process outlined under the Canadian Environmental Assessment
Act was followed for the Runway Development Project at YYC and supported by the
federal Minister of the Environment. The Comprehensive Study is now complete and
has been reviewed by an independent Reviewer and also by The Calgary Airport Authority’s
Infrastructure and Environment Committee. The Comprehensive Study has concluded
that, with the implementation of recommended mitigation measures, there are no significant
residual adverse affects.
A complete library of EA documents and reports are available at www.yyc.com
