The Clark County Department of Aviation (CCDOA) has proposed to construct and operate a new supplemental commercial service airport in the Ivanpah Valley, approximately 30 miles south of McCarran International Airport, in order to accommodate long-term commercial service aviation demand for the Las Vegas metropolitan area. CCDOA’s Project Definition and Justification report describes the proposal itself and explains the underlying need for a new supplemental commercial service airport.

Before the airport can be developed, however, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared. The United States Department of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management and the Federal Aviation Administration are the Joint Lead Federal Agencies tasked with preparing the EIS. In 2005, the FAA and BLM selected Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) to assist them in preparing the EIS.
