Environmental Assessment Construction of Fully Contained Small Arms Range Complex, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

The current Small Arms Range is located in Area C off Hebble Creek Road. This facility does not provide for some required training, is outdated and in a state of disrepair, and is out of compliance with minimum Surface Danger Zone SDZ distances. A new Fully Contained Small Anns Range Complex FCSARC has been proposed. The FCSARC would be located in Area A, off Communications Boulevard on Newark Street. The proposed action is to construct the FCSARC, demolish the current SAR, and remediate lead-contaminated soil at the current SAR, if necessary. There were two alternatives analyzed Alternative A, the No Action alternative, would have the current SAR remain and the FCSARC would not be constructed. Alternative A also serves as a baseline against which the Proposed Action can be compared. Alternative B, the Proposed Action, includes the construction of the FCSARC, demolition of the current SAR, and remediation of lead-contaminated soil at the current SAR, if necessary.
