Wing Infrastructure Development Outlook (WINDO) Plan. Environmental Assessment: Langley Air Force Base, Virginia

Abstract

This EA describes the potential environmental consequences of five proposed projects within the WINDO at Langley AFB. Projects include the relocation of the government fuel station, alert area expansion, visitors' quarters construction, relocation of the explosive ordnance disposal training range, and construction of parking for WRM and ACCRSS facilities. Ten resource categories received a thorough evaluation to identify potential impacts. An increase to safety risks during demo and construction would be mitigated by employing standard safety practices. Any noise associated with work at these sites would be temporary and limited to daytime hours. These actions would have the potential to disturb portions of various ERP sites; a waiver from ACC would be necessary, which would identify appropriate control measures. These actions would be consistent with the base General Plan, and any transportation impacts resulting from increased truck traffic would be minor. Interruption of utilities and other infrastructure due to demo and construction activities would be temporary. Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Water Resources, Biological Resources, and Socioeconomics would not be significantly affected by this action. No long term environmental consequences are anticipated.
