Mission Realignment of Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas

Abstract

By Public Law 100-526, the Defense Authorization Amendments and Base Realignment and Closure Act, dated June 1988, it is necessary for the fuels and fire fighting training courses, presently located at Chanute Air Force Base, Illinois, to be relocated to Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas. The Base Realignment and Closure Commission determined that there is a need for this realignment in order to help reduce government military spending. This Environmental Assessment (EA) presents the existing conditions, describes the site selection process, and evaluates the available alternative actions. It also identifies environmental impacts of the proposed action on cultural resources, vegetation, wildlife, water resources, and socioeconomics of the area.
