Environmental Impact Analysis Process. Special Environmental Assessment for Operation Desert Storm Support Operations at Westover AFB, Massachusetts

Abstract

The Air Force has consulted with the Council on Environmental Quality, and on March 19, 1991, CEQ requested an environmental assessment (EA) of the on-going DESERT STORM operations at Westover AFB, Massachusetts be prepared as an alternative arrangement (see Appendix A). CEQ directed the Air Force to: analyze noise impacts, reasonable alternative landing sites on the East Coast, reasonable alternatives to current flight patterns, including reduction of nighttime departures, and other mitigation possibilities; Provide the assessment to the CEQ, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, and interested and affected parties; provide a thirty-day period for public comment on the special environmental assessment; and respond to all substantive comments received and provide copies of all comments and responses regarding the special environmental assessment to CEQ and EPA.
