Explosive Ordnance Disposal Proficiency Range and Multi-Purpose Contingency Training Area
Abstract
The U.S. Air Force District of Washington (AFDW) proposes to construct and operate a functional Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Proficiency Training Range and Multi-Purpose Contingency Training Area at Andrews Air Force Base (AFB), Maryland. The purpose of the proposed action is two fold: (1) to provide an approved site for EOD Flight personnel to conduct EOD proficiency training and, as coordinated through the State of Maryland, approved emergency response actions; and (2) to provide an exercise/training area for the 316th Wing and other unit training managers to complete full spectrum threat responses and other required functional exercises and readiness training. At present, there is no designated approved range for the EOD Flight to conduct EOD proficiency training at Andrews AFB. The Proposed Action (Alternatives 1, 2, and 3) and the No Action Alternative were analyzed in the attached Environmental Assessment (EA) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The decision in this FONSI is based upon information contained in the EA, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
