Environmental Assessment for Construction of Visiting Quarters - Phases One and Two, MacDill AFB, Florida
Abstract
This report presents the results of the Environmental Assessment (EA), which evaluates the potential environmental effects associated with the proposed Construction of Visiting Quarters at MacDill Air Force Base (AFB). This EA was prepared by the 6th Civil Engineer Environmental Flight at MacDill AFB, Florida, from February 2011 through July 2011. Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), this EA has been prepared to analyze the potential environmental consequences of the proposed action. The proposed project would demolish the existing Officers Club (Building 397), Visiting Quarters (Building 312 and 366), and a section of Florida Keys Boulevard. Once the demolition and site preparation is complete, a new three-story 175,000 sq ft facility to increase the current billeting capacity at MacDill AFB would be constructed. The new VQ facility would provide 350 new rooms for visiting personnel and include space for administrative functions, housekeeping, guest laundry, and lobby areas. This EA determined the proposed action would not individually or cumulatively have a significant impact on the environment and a Finding of No Significant Impact/Finding of No Practicable Alternative (FONSI/FONPA) was signed by AMC/A7 on 13 July 2011.
