Enviromental Assessment Construct a Recreational Fishing Pier Near the FAMCAMP, Post'l Point
Abstract
The 96 Services Squadron proposes to construct a single fishing pier 125 feet long into the waters of Choctawhatchee Bay at Post'l Point. The pier would originate on the sandy point of Eglin property near the FAMCAMP. This sandy point juts out into Choctawhatchee Bay. The pier would be constructed of treated pine and would have safety railings. A photograph of a typical public use recreational fishing pier is provided in Section 2 of the EA. The pier would be available for continuous use, 24 hrs per day, 7 days per week. The pier would be lighted; but no other utilities such as water would be provided. Trash containers would be provided for waste collection. Waste collection by 96 Services Squadron would be accomplished on a daily basis. The alternative to the proposed action is to take no action to construct the proposed fishing pier. The pier would not be constructed. Anticipated environmental effects involving Land Use, Traffic, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Environmental Justice, and Socioeconomics are discussed in Section 4 of the EA. Environmental analysis identified no significant impacts to human health or the environment. This project must be coordinated through the Environmental Compliance Division, MC/EMCE (POC is Mr. Dan Robeen 882-7661). Section 1.3 of the EA identifies several permits and a submerged lands lease that may be required.
