SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Alternative 2A adds 36 EA-18G operational aircraft at NAS Whidbey Island, stations additional personnel and their family members at the NAS Whidbey Island complex and in the surrounding community, constructs and renovates facilities at Ault Field, increases airfield operations at both Ault Field and Outlying Landing Field (OLF) Coupeville, and changes the distribution of field carrier landing practice (FCLP) to 20 percent occurring at Ault Field and 80 percent occurring at OLF Coupeville. The implementation of Alternative 2A includes measures intended to reduce noise impacts in the community, including the mitigation measures identified in Appendix H of the Final EIS and the use of Precision Landing Mode to reduce the overall number of FCLPs compared to the number proposed in the Draft EIS. The complete text of the Record of Decision (ROD) is available on the project website at www.whidbeyeis.com, along with the Growler Final EIS dated September 2018, and supporting documents.
