Environmental Assessment Repair and Construction of Two Additions to Entomology Facility
Abstract
Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) is located in Kent County, Delaware. The base is situated 3.5 miles southeast of the center of Dover, Delaware, the state capital. The base covers approximately 3,902 acres of land area including annexes, easements, and leased property. Dover AFB has two active airfields. The north-south airfield at Dover AFB divides the main Base into two primary sections. Open space, recreational areas, and limited amounts of industrial uses are located east of the airfield. The land uses west of the airfield and east of U.S. Route 113 are industrial, airfield operations, administrative, community, medical, and some unaccompanied personnel housing. Eagle Heights Military Family House (MFH), temporary lodging quarters, a golf course, and additional unaccompanied personnel housing are located west of U.S. Route 113 and east of St. Jones River. The surrounding areas consist primarily of cropland and wetlands, with the Saint Jones River running adjacent to the southwestern comer of the base. The proposed project identified in the AF Form 813 would repair part of the current Entomology Facility, increase the size of the herbicide storage room by 320 square feet, and construct a 72 square feet electrical room addition to the building. The Entomology Facility received several discrepancies that were documented during an Environmental Compliance Assessment and Management Program (ECAMP) evaluation in 2001. This proposed project is necessary to bring the facility into compliance with the appropriate regulations.
