Environmental Assessment for Force Protection Measures at the LaSalle Gate, Langley Air Force Base, Virginia

Abstract

This environmental assessment (EA) describes the potential environmental consequences resulting from a proposal to redesign and construct the LaSalle Gate complex at Langley AFB in order to comply with new Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection standards. Eleven resource categories received a thorough evaluation to identify potential impacts. Due to the action, adverse, but not significant impacts will be felt in land use, water, and wetlands resources. Minor and temporary impacts would be seen in air quality, biological resources, waste, and noise. The improvements at the LaSalle gate would greatly increase safety in the years to come. The action is expected to have no impacts on cultural resources, geology, and socioeconomics. No long term environmental consequences are anticipated.
