Environmental Assessment: Construct a Youth Center 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 construct a 32,823 square foot building for a multipurpose Youth Center. The site for the entire project is slated for redevelopment. Currently, family dwelling units exist at the proposed site location. The proposed project is needed to alleviate extremely crowded conditions, allow for expansion of other youth programs, and eliminate safety concerns that exist with the current Youth Center, while ensuring the needs of military personnel in the area continue to be met.
