Abstract
The Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and the 97th Air Mobility Wing (97AMW) at Altus Air Force Base (AFB), Oklahoma have identified the requirement to replace the current electrical switching substation on Altus AFB. This Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates the potential environmental impacts of this proposed project in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 U.S. Code (U.S.C.) 4331 et seq., 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 1500-1508 implementing NEPA as set forth by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), the United States Air Force (USAF) Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) regulations at 32 CFR Part 989, and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-1015, Integrated Installation Planning (Chapter 5,Environmental Impact Analysis Process). Altus AFB is home to the 97 AMW and is assigned to the AETC. The 97 AMWs primary mission is to train mobility Airmen on the intricacies of operating multi-engine aircraft. Accordingly, the wing trains flight crews and aircraft maintenance students on airframes such as the C-17 Globemaster III, KC-135 Stratotanker, and KC-46 Pegasus. The 97 AMW trains up to 3,000 students each year.
