Environmental Impact Analysis Process. Draft Environmental Impact Statement, Winnersville Weapons Range, Lanier and Lowndes Counties, Georgia
Abstract
The proposed action is the establishment of an air-to-surface weapons range adjacent to the east side of Moody AFB, GA. The primary user of the range would be the 347 Tactical Fighter Wing which is based at Moody. This statement assesses the environmental impacts expected to result from construction and operation of the proposed Winnersville Range. The no-action alternative of not proceeding with establishment of the range is also considered. Salient impacts of range development would result from clearing vegetation on the 450-acre target area near the center of the Grand Bay/Banks Lake wetlands complex. The principal impacts of operation would result from increased noise levels in the vicinity of the 5900-acre range. It is concluded that no overriding environmental factors are evident that would render establishment of the proposed range unacceptable.
