Fort Greely Borrow Pit Environmental Assessment
Abstract
The U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Greely, Alaska, proposes to establish and operate one or more sources of borrow materials (aggregate and fill materials) on the installation for installation construction projects beginning as early as March 2004. Alternative 1 would establish a new 49-hectare (120-acre) borrow pit northwest of Allen Army Airfield to provide borrow materials for the Allen Army Airfield reconstruction project. Alternative 2 would establish a new 40-hectare (100-acre) Directorate of Public Works Borrow Pit southeast of the main cantonment area on Fort Greely between East Post Road and Landfill Road to be used for current and future public works projects on Fort Greely. Under the No-action Alternative, the U.S. Army Garrison Fort Greely would not establish new sources of borrow materials. Borrow materials for any existing or future projects at Fort Greely would be obtained from an existing borrow pit located adjacent to the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense Validation of Operational Concept test site or purchased from a source outside of the installation.
