Good question. The mix of government "requirements" and private enterprise makes WSI an interesting project. For the longest time it was a slowly-developing train wreck only maybe now just coming back on the rails - maybe.
Perhaps this is normal for government-funded projects (I wouldn't know) but in the private sector one usually has to provide all the paperwork up front to get a planning permit. For this one, it seems the Federal Government bought the land, WSI Corporation was given approval to start the design/build process and with the build half-complete they only now think about generating an EIS that includes noise impacts from flight path planning they haven't really thought much about?!?
It's all very confusing.. for sure there'll be a few dents here and there before it's finally open for business.
