Demolition of Munitions Storage Area Facilities. "Right Size" Project 10-0192C
Abstract
This Environmental Assessment (EA) describes the potential environmental consequences resulting from a proposal to demolish six facilities at Fairchild Air Force Base (AFB), Washington. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS PROCESS. This EA has been prepared by the United States Air Force (Air Force) in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, (42 United States Code [USC] 4321-4347), Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] statute 1500-1508), and 32 CFR Part 989, et seq., Environmental Impact Analysis Process (formerly known as Air Force Instruction [AFI] 32-7061). PURPOSE AND NEED FOR ACTION. The purpose of this action is to demolish six facilities in the Munitions Storage Area (MSA) at Fairchild AFB. These facilities were constructed between 1952 and 1956. Currently, these facilities are not considered mission critical and are empty or underutilized. The unique construction and infrastructure of these facilities, as well as their location in a limited access area, would make it difficult to rehabilitate or renovate these facilities to another purpose. In addition, the demolition of these facilities will contribute to the Air Force-wide demolition goal to reduce the facility footprint 20 percent between Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 and FY 2020.
