Environmental Assessment for the Construction of the BX Parking Lot
Abstract
The 375th Civil Engineer Squadron proposes to construct a new Base Exchange (BX) parking lot at the corner of West Winters Street and Scott Drive, located at Scott Air Force Base (AFB) in Illinois. The new parking lot will provide additional parking spaces in the Major Command (MAJCOM) Administration Area and help to alleviate the parking shortage in this area. This Environmental Assessment (FA) has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality regulations [40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), sections 1500-1508], and Air Force Instruction 32-7061, Environmental Impact Analysis Process, as promulgated at 32 CFR 989. This FA focuses on specific issues and concerns of the Proposed Action and the alternatives that could affect the environment of Scott AFB and the surrounding properties. The range of alternatives includes taking No-Action and implementing the Proposed Action. The footprint of the new parking lot would be approximately two acres of property that is currently a maintained turf grass area. Implementation of the Proposed Action would create approximately 200 parking spaces.
