Computer-Aided Environmental Impact Analysis for Air Force Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Activities: User Manual.

Abstract

The federal government has requested that its agencies incorporate environmental considerations into the planning of new projects and activities. Environmental impact assessments and statements (EIA/EIS) provide a basis for review and analysis of a proposed project's environmental consequences. The Environmental Impact Computer System (EICS), developed by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Lab., helps planners efficiently identify primary and secondary impacts of their proposed projects or activities and suggests way to mitigate these impacts. This manual is designed to help Air Force personnel prepare EIAs and EISs using the EICS. Detailed instructions for accessing the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Functional Area of EICS are included as is an input form necessary for obtaining EICS output. The manual discusses in detail procedures necessary for using EICS output for environmental impact assessment and outlines the steps for preparing a proper and complete EIA/EIS. (Author)
