Final Environmental Assessment: For the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Expanded Training Use Areas at Avon Park Air Force Range, Florida

Abstract

The Florida Army National Guard (FLARNG) prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to identify and evaluate potential environmental effects associated with the expansion of maneuvering areas at Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR), Florida for the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS). The MLRS, a powerful artillery rocket system, is a major weapon system of the Army National Guard (ARNG) and the Active Component of the U.S. Army. The 3-116th MLRS Battalion at APAFR needs to become certified as combat capable so that the unit will be ready to deploy to combat. The FLARNG prepared the EA in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 USC 4321 to 4370e), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (CEQ Regulations, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), Environmental Analysis of Army Actions (32 CFR 651), and Environmental Impact Analysis Process (32 CFR 989).
