Environmental Assessment Military Family Housing Privatization Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida
Abstract
The purpose of the Proposed Action is to privatize military family housing (MFH) at Tyndall AFB. Privatizing MFH includes conveying 848 existing units to a privatization contractor and leasing the property on which the units are located to the contractor. This EA evaluates the No Action Alternative, the Proposed Action, the Maximum Development Alternative, and the cumulative impacts of other actions announced for the Base. Under the No Action Alternative, the 848 existing MFH units would not be conveyed to a privatization contractor and the units would continue to be used to house military personnel and dependents. Thirty-five surplus units would be demolished under the No Action Alternative to achieve the required inventory of 813 units. The Proposed Action and Maximum Development Alternative include conveying the 848 units and associated infrastructure and leasing the 495 acres associated with MFH to a privatization contractor. Under the Proposed Action Alternative, the contractor would demolish 560 units and construct 525 replacement units. The contractor would operate, maintain, and manage an inventory totaling 813 units. Under the Maximum Development Alternative, the contractor would demolish 848 units and construct 1,238 replacement units. No units would be renovated under the Maximum Development Alternative, and the privatization contractor would manage an inventory totaling 1,238 units. The privatization contractor would manage the housing development for a minimum of 50 years under the Proposed Action or Maximum Development Alternative. Resources considered in the impact analysis were: noise; land use, air quality infrastructure and utilities; biological resources; groundwater resources, earth resources hazardous materials and waste; cultural resources; socioeconomic resources environmental justice; and cumulative impacts.
