Aviation

Bond has represented the City of Syracuse, Department of Aviation since 1995, in connection with its proposed siting of a new 7,500-foot runway at Syracuse Hancock International Airport, and in connection with the proposed expansion of an existing runway. Both projects were subject to environmental impact reviews under SEQRA and NEPA. Bond has provided regulatory compliance counsel to the Department of Aviation in connection with storm water discharges and petroleum and chemical bulk storage. We have also counseled the Department of Aviation on SEQRA compliance for various construction projects for airport improvements. Bond has also assisted the Department of Aviation in obtaining funding from the Department of the Army to remove from Airport property equipment used during former military operations. In addition, Bond has been representing the City of Naples Airport Authority since 2002 in regard to its landmark ban of noisier Stage 2 jets.
