Environmental Assessment for Construct Military Working Dog Facility

Abstract

Columbus AFB proposes to construct a Military Working Dog Facility. The proposed action would bring Columbus AFB into compliance with the recommendations of the US Army Veterinary Service, Air Education Training Command (AETC) "Design Guide for Military Working Dog Facilities", Department of the Army, Pamphlet 190-12, Military Working Dog Program, AFI 31-202, Military Working Dog Program, and Code of Federal Regulations, Title 9, Volume 1, Parts 1-199. The Construction of a Military Working Dog Facility Environmental Assessment also assessed three other potential sites. Alternative Site 3 (Map location M-205/214) was selected as the preferred site. The no-action alternative would not bring Columbus AFB into compliance with the recommendations of the US Army Veterinary Service, AFI 31-202, Military Working Dog Program, and Code of Federal Regulations, Title 9, Volume 1, Parts 1-199. The proposed action would require the disturbance of installation property that has been previously disturbed and would increase noise levels during construction. Erosion and sediment controls would be installed and maintained, prior to and during, construction. The proposed construction of a Military Working Dog Facility at site M-205/214 would provide a facility that meets the requirements of a Military Working Dog Facility. This facility would bring the facility into compliance with the recommendations of the US Army Veterinary Service, and would be in compliance with AFI 31-202, Military Working Dog Program, and Code of Federal Regulations, Title 9, Volume 1, Parts 1-199, Department of the Army, Pamphlet 190-12. The facility would follow the design of"Design Guide for Military Working Dog Facilities", HQ AETC, 14 Jun 2002. An environmental impact statement is not required. A Finding of No Significant Impact is justified.
