An airport environmental information system for Virginia

An airport environmental impact information system was created for the Commonwealth of Virginia. This computer-assisted system provides readily accessible, timely, pertinent, concise, and easily comprehensible information for those who make airport development decisions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment in Virginia. The Airport Environmental Information System {A*E*I*S) contains relevant airport environmental impact assessment information for airport E.I.S considerations regarding noise, water quality, air quality, wetlands, cultural impacts, socioeconomic impacts, threatened and endangered species, ecological impacts, and other areas. Three computer software systems -- the Conversational Monitoring System (CMS), NOISEMAP, and SURFACE II were utilized to store, process, and report the information contained in the A*E*I*S system. Users may request information by individual chapter (e.g. noise), and in aggregate book form. A*E*I*S contains provisions for the continued use and update of the system.
