Environmental Assessment of Proposed Military Construction and Operation at Kirtland Air Force Base
Abstract
This Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates the potential impacts on environmental and human resources associated with the proposed construction and operation of an HC- 130P Flight Simulator Facility (FSF) and an Aircraft Corrosion Control Facility (ACCF) at Kirtland Air Force Base (AFB) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and the 58th Special Operations Wing (58 SOW), a unit of Air Education and Training Command (AETC), are the proponents of these actions. This EA also evaluates any reasonable alternatives to the Proposed Actions, including the No-Action Alternative. This document is part of the Environmental Impact Analysis Process set forth in Title 23, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 989, which incorporates Air Force Regulation 32-7061 and implements the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the regulations implementing NEPA promulgated by the President s Council on Environmental Quality as Title 40 of the CFR Parts 1500-1508. In addition, Section 1.6.8 of Executive Order 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs, directs federal agencies to consult with and solicit comments from state and local government officials whose jurisdictions would be affected by federal actions (Appendix A). In addition, NEPA procedures and US Air Force policy are intended to ensure that environmental information is available to public officials and citizens before decisions are made and before actions are taken. This EA describing the potential impacts of these Proposed Actions will be made available to the public for 30 days prior to the decision on whether to proceed with the actions.
