Military Family Housing Demolition, Construction, Renovation, and Leasing Program
Abstract
This Environmental Assessment (EA) describes the potential environmental consequences resulting from a proposed Military Family Housing (MFH) privatization project involving the demolition of 634 units, construction of 586 new units, and the renovation of 660 units at Cannon Air Force Base (CAFB), New Mexico. This EA has been prepared by the United States Air Force in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations implementing NEPA, and 32 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 989. The Department of Defense has tasked the Air Force to upgrade all required, inadequate housing by Fiscal Year 2007. To comply with this mandate, the Air Force has launched an aggressive program to revitalize all military housing units through a combination of traditional military construction and housing privatization. Privatization will accelerate housing improvements, alleviate housing shortages, and reduce waiting times for adequate housing, ultimately improving morale of Air Force personnel. Since traditional Military Construction (MILCON) funds are insufficient to meet this goal, the Air Force has determined the best solution is to use privatization to leverage available resources. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide military personnel and their families safe, affordable housing in a timely manner to meet Air Force requirements. Housing improvements are needed as, with the exception of Chavez Manor West, many of the housing units on CAFB are more than 30 years old and do not meet current Air Force Housing standards.
