Environmental Assessment of Installation Development at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington
Abstract
Fairchild AFB uses numerous wing-approved plans to project installation development requirements. These plans propose demolition, construction, renovation, and infrastructure improvement activities intended to ensure that the installation can sustain its current and future national security operations and mission-readiness status. These projects include installation development projects contained in the Fairchild AFB General Plan and the community of all existing wing-approved development plans. Fairchild AFB seeks to improve the continuing installation development process by evaluating in a single EA all actions proposed in the Fairchild AFB wing-approved community of plans for installation development, called the Installation Development EA (IDEA). The Proposed Action includes numerous projects, such as new facility construction, facility upgrades, facility repair and renovation, utilities upgrades, community living upgrades, infrastructure upgrades, demolition of aging facilities and recreational facility upgrades that would be completed/implemented during the next 5 years. The intent of this IDEA is to address the Proposed Action of implementing installation development actions as found in the community of all existing approved management plans concerning continuing development on Fairchild AFB. The scope of the IDEA includes an evaluation of alternatives for the various projects and an analysis of the cumulative effects on the natural and man-made environments. Through this IDEA, Fairchild AFB provides a constraints-based environmental impact analysis of installation development actions projected over the next 5 years. A constraints approach enables Fairchild AFB to evaluate environmental concerns that exist throughout the installation and those unique to specific areas of the installation.
