Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment of the Base Realignment Activities at Bergstrom Air Force Base, Texas

Abstract

The United States Air Force Tactical Air Command (TAC) is proposing to relocate and realign nine EC-130H aircraft and associated personnel and equipment of the 41st ECS from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (AFB), Tucson, Arizona, to Bergstrom AFB in Austin, Texas. In addition, it is planned to convert an Air Force Reserve unit from F-4 to F-16 aircraft. The unit conversion will be an aircraft for aircraft swap and will not involve a change of personnel. Two FG-4C training squadrons are to be deactivated. If all actions are completed as proposed, there will be 83 aircraft assigned to Bergstrom AFB, a reduction in total aircraft of 15, from the present number of 108. This Environment Assessment (EA) describes the impact associated with the changes in flying operations at Bergstrom AFB and the minor increases in personnel and expenditures at the facility. Background environmental and economic data is presented to provide a description of the effected environment and socioeconomic situation.
