Construct a Test and Integration Laboratory Eglin Air Force Base Florida

Proposed Action The 46th Operations Group 46 OGOGMS proposes to construct a 2,400 square foot test and integration laboratory. The new facility would include office space and two work bays to support various weapons testing projects. The proposed test laboratory would be located on the now-vacant parcel of land located at the southeast portion of Building 892. This site is the former location of the old 46 OGOGML Chicken Little office trailer that has been previously demolished. This area was selected for available access to an aircraft parking ramp and the flight line, which is required for maximum utilization of the facility assets. The overall building size requirement is 40 feet by 60 feet. Each of the work bays will be sized to accommodate a fork lift and weapons jammer, and will be configured with 12 foot by 12 foot overhead doors and an overhead hoist of5,000 pound capacity. Although no additional paved employee parking is required, additional access ramp pavement is required from the work bays out to the aircraft parking ramp and flight line. The area affected by the proposed action is located in an air quality attainment region, supports no threatened or endangered species, and contains no surface water, wetlands, or flood plains. No lead-based paints LBP, asbestos containing materials ACM, underground storage tanks, or Environmental Restoration Program remediation sites or areas of concem exist at the site.
