Environmental Assessment (EA): Proposed Renovation of Building 238, Hill Air Force Base, Utah
Abstract
Hill Air Force Base (AFB) proposes to accommodate current United States Air Force missions by renovating Building 238, to include: gas turbine engine cells; a bearing shop; lean manufacturing systems; a product development laboratory; an optical shop and low-observable painting facility; a 5-axis router; a paint training facility; plating and pretreatment processes; and a flame spray booth. The proposed action, alternate locations, and the no action alternative were all considered. The proposed action could be implemented with minor construction-related air emissions of short term duration. Projected long term air emissions fall within the limits prescribed by the Hill AFB Title V permit. The proposed action would produce regulated solid and liquid waste streams including paper wipes; maskants; rags; filters from plating and parts washers; bearing grease; air filters; water from parts washing and pressure testing; paint residue; plating solution and rinse water; and motor oil. All non-recyclable regulated materials would be collected and disposed as hazardous waste (some of the liquid wastes would be treated in the Hill AFB industrial wastewater treatment plant). The proposed action would be expected to produce 34 long-term jobs at Hill AFB. No long-term environmental impacts are expected.
