Abstract:
The United States Air Force USAF has prepared this EA in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act to evaluate the potential environmental and social impacts from the construction and operation of the proposed SFOF. The EA considers the No Action Alternative and three action alternatives, including the Proposed Action, for the proposed SFOF. The proposed SFOF is required to support the 460 Space Wing mission by providing a centralized facility that meets the requirements for an active-duty AFB. The environmental resources potentially affected by the proposed action and alternatives include land use socioeconomics air quality noise soils water resources biological resources, including vegetation, wildlife, and threatened, endangered or other sensitive species hazardous materials and waste solid waste and pollution prevention transportation utilities and environmental justice. Based on the nature of the activities that would occur during the construction and operation of the SFOF, the USAF has determined that minimal or no adverse impacts to the above resources are anticipated.
