Abstract:

This Finding of No Significant Impact FONSI was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 NEPA, the Presidents Council on Environmental Quality CEQ regulations implementing NEPA 40 Code of Federal Regulations CFR 1500-1508 and the Environmental Impact Analysis Process, 32 CFR 989. The decision in this FONSI is based on information contained in the Environmental Assessment EA for the Construction of a Base Civil Engineer Complex, Travis Air Force Base AFB, California, which is hereby incorporated by reference. The purpose of the EA was to determine the extent of environmental impacts that might result from the construction and operation of a Base Civil Engineering BCE Complex and to evaluate whether those impacts, if any, would be significant. Currently, BCE functions are dispersed throughout fifty-five mostly outdated, difficult to maintain, substandard facilities. The purpose of the proposed action is to consolidate BCE functions into a modem, unified complex resulting in more efficient operations, lower maintenance costs and reduced energy consumption by design meeting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design LEED Silver Standards.
