Abstract:

This EA addresses the aerial control of mosquitoes at Tyndall AFB. Florida and the nearby cities of Bay and Gulf Counties. The EA is prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. as amended and in accordance with Title 40, CFR Part 1500- 1508, Council on Environmental Quality DoD Instruction 4150.7. DoD Pest Management Program and AFI 32-1074, Aerial Application of Pesticides. Surveillance results indicate that mosquito species present at Tyndall AFB and the immediate civilian neighborhoods are capable of transmitting serous human diseases. Mosquito populations are large enough, at certain times, to cause human pain, discomfort, and stress. In extreme cases they may seriously affect the performance of outdoor work activities, reduce recreational opportunities and decrease the overall morale and quality of life within the infested area. Two alternatives are eliminated from detailed studies because they do not meet project objectives are not feasible, or involve a geographic area where jurisdictional government coordination and agreements had not been established.
