Installation Boundary Fence Replacement: Wetland Areas Environmental Assessment and FONSI/FONPA
Abstract:
Moody Air Force Base AFB, Georgia proposes to replace the boundary fence in wetland areas in order to mark the legal and physical demarcation of the installation boundary. The barbed-wire fence that is currently in place is in serious disrepair and does not provide an adequate security barrier for Moody AFB. Fallen trees and severe overgrowth have knocked down portions of the fence leaving the base susceptible to unauthorized entry. The proposed action consists of removing the current fencing through the wetland boundaries of Moody AFB where fencing is not adequate and installing a seven-foot chain-linked fence with two-foot barbed wire out-rigging. Approximately 10 miles of fence would be replaced under this proposal. In some areas, vegetation would have to be cleared to a width of approximately 15 feet to accommodate construction vehicle passage.
