Code § 9-1008(d)(2)(A). PROJECT SUMMARY The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) submitted preliminary and final building plans for the Terminal B/C redevelopment project, which includes securing the National Hall with new checkpoints, a new North Concourse project, and the demolition of two existing hangars and central office building at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (Reagan National Airport). To secure the National Hall, the project will relocate the existing security checkpoints from inside Terminal B/C to two separate areas outside this terminal adjacent to the pedestrian bridges connecting to the National Airport Metrorail Station. These two new structures will be located above the exiting arrivals roadway and below the exiting elevated departures roadway. MWAA is proposing to use glass and metal panel materials for the new checkpoint buildings, noting this design aesthetic will be compatible with the existing Terminal B/C in terms of scale, use of materials and architectural features. The standing seam non-reflective metal roof for the new checkpoint buildings has a curvilinear form and has its lowest height on the elevation adjacent to the elevated roadway so the height will not compete with the monumental quality of the exiting Terminal B/C domes.

The National Park Service (NPS) understands that the Element establishes policies to protect and enhance the many federal parks and open spaces within the National Capital Region and that the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) uses these policies to guide agency actions, including review of projects and preparation of long-range plans. Preservation and management of parks and open space are key to the NPS mission. The National Capital Region of the NPS consists of 40 park units and encompasses approximately 63,000 acres within the District of Columbia (DC), Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Our region includes a wide variety of park spaces that range from urban sites, such as the National Mall with all its monuments and Rock Creek Park to vast natural sites like Prince William Forest Park as well as a number of cultural sites like Antietam National Battlefield and Manassas National Battlefield Park.
