Final Environmental Assessment Travis Air Force Base Burke Property Housing.

Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality regulations, the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508 and Air Force Instruction 32-7061, the U.S. Air Force conducted an assessment of the potential environmental consequences of the construction of up to 281 military family housing units at Travis AFB. The housing units are sited on a 101-acre USAF-owned parcel of property referred to hereafter as the Burke property. The environmental assessment considered all potential impacts of the proposed action and alternatives, both as solitary actions and in conjunction with other proposed activities. A 30 day public comment period for the environmental assessment ended on 18 May 1999. The finding of no significant impact summarizes the results of the evaluations of proposed military family housing construction. Its discussion focuses on activities that have the potential to change both the natural and human environments. The finding of no practical alternative summarizes the options considered and why the housing was designed and sited as proposed.
