Abstract:

This finding, and the analysis upon which it is based, was prepared pursuant to the President s Council on Environmental Quality CEQ regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act NEPA and its implementing regulations as promulgated at 40 Code of Federal Regulations CFR Part 1500 40 CFR 1500 1508 plus the U.S. Air Force s Environmental Impact Analysis Process as promulgated at 32 CFR 989. The Department of the Air Force has conducted an Environmental Assessment EA of the potential environmental consequences associated with the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan INRMP activities at Eglin Air Force Base AFB, Florida. That EA dated November 2012 is hereby incorporated by reference into this finding. The purpose of this action is to be able to quickly and efficiently process modifications in natural resources management activities and to update the NEPA analysis by re-evaluating natural resources management activities and by performing a cumulative environmental analysis of all management activities. The need for the Proposed Action is to provide managers a quick response to new priority needs, as well as maintain the current approval process for routine activities. Additionally, some of Eglin AFB s natural resources and activities have changed since the original environmental analysis was completed, requiring new environmental analysis to be performed.
