Cumulative Impacts of Aircraft Realignments at George Air Force Base, California
Abstract
This environmental assessment (EA) examines the environmental impacts of inactivating the 563 Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS)at George Air Force Base (AFB), located in the Mojave Desert of Southern California. The document was prepared pursuant to Section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) , Public Law (PL) 92-190, as implemented by regulations promulgated by the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and Air Force Regulation (AFR) 19-2. The EA was also prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Since the alternatives to the proposed action, including the no action and delay action alternatives, are not considered feasible, this document only examines the potential environmental impacts near George AFB of deactivating the 37 Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW). This action will involve the drawdown of 24 Primary Aircraft Authorization (PAA) of combat-coded F-4E aircraft in support of the 563 TFS, and the loss of 745 personnel authorizations
