Environmental Assessment Supplement for C-17Southwest Landing Zone Articulated Concrete Block Shoulders Travis Air Force Base, Fairfield, California

Abstract

This Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA); the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA, Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1500-1508; and the Environmental Impact Analysis Process, 32 CFR 989. The decision in this FONSI is based on information contained in the Environmental Assessment Supplement C-17 Southwest Landing Zone (LZ) Articulated Concrete Block (ACB) Shoulders at Travis Air Force Base (EA). The EA Supplement is a modification to the Permanent Western United States C-17 Landing Zone Draft Environmental Assessment (C-17 LZ EA). The EA Supplement was prepared because of a change in the Proposed Action Alternative project description in the C-17 LZ EA which is to construct ACB shoulders in place of soil shoulders adjacent to the runway shoulder. The EA Supplement evaluates the potential impacts that could result from constructing ACB and analyzes the potential environmental consequences of the Proposed Action and No Action alternatives on the affected environment, as well as possible cumulative impacts from other reasonably foreseeable actions.
