Environmental Assessment for Aviation Foreign Internal Defense Beddown (AvFID) at Duke Field, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida
Abstract
Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environment Policy Act (NEPA) (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500-1508), 42 United States Code (USC) statute 4321, et seq., and the Air Force Environmental Impact Analysis Process as promulgated in 32 CFR Part 989, the US Air Force (USAF) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to analyze potential environmental consequences associated with the proposed Aviation Foreign Internal Defense (AvFID) fixed-wing aircraft beddown and associated construction projects at Duke Field, Eglin Air Force Base (AFB). Purpose: The purpose of the Proposed Action is three-fold: 1) to provide highly trained, rapidly deployable, combat-ready Combat Aviation Advisor (CAA) squadrons to support foreign partner nations as part of the AvFID mission; 2) to consolidate facilities in order to maximize operations and maintenance facility efficiency and respond to physical needs associated with the AvFID beddown; and 3) enable necessary support facilities to meet current environmental, safety, and security standards (e.g., United Facilities Criteria: DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings).
