Environmental Assessment for Increasing Routine Flightline Activities, Edwards Air Force Base, California

Abstract

This environmental assessment evaluates the environmental consequences of implementing two project alternatives for increasing routine flightline activities. This assessment was requested by the 95th Air Base Wing Environmental Management Directorate, Edwards Air Force Base, California. The project was conducted from February 2008 through June 2009 by JT3/CH2M HILL. The Proposed Action would increase flightline activities to support current and future Air Force Flight Test Center missions. The No Action Alternative would be to continue flightline activities at present levels and as described in the 1997 programmatic Environmental Assessment. Impacts to the environmental condition were evaluated and mitigation measures to minimize the effects were presented. All projects would be conducted in compliance with all Air Force instructions.
