Santa Rosa Island Mission Utilization Plan Programmatic Environmental Assessment
Abstract
The Air Armament Center at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, proposes to establish a mission utilization plan for Air Force property located on Santa Rosa Island (SRI) including that portion commonlv known as "Okaloosa Island." The areas considered include the Air Force land on SRI, adjacent areas of Santa Rosa Sound and the surf zone of the Gulf of Mexico. During the baseline period, fiscal years 1995 to 1999, these areas supported hundreds of test and training missions. The Proposed Action will allow the Commander, 46th Test Wing, to authorize utilization of SRI/OI for military activities. Four alternatives were considered: No Action Alternative: Maintain the baseline level of activity (FY95-99 Range Utilization Report); Alternative l: Establish a Mission Use Plan for SRI based on past and current activities, to include establishment of designated mission areas; Alternative 2: Authorize the activities contained in Alternative 1 and establish Surf Zone Test & Training Areas; Alternative 3: Authorize the activities contained in Alternative 2 and establish Special Operations ForcestLanding Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) Live-Fire Training Areas.
