Final Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Naval Ordnance Test Unit Engineering Services Facility at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
Abstract
Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality regulations, the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), 32 CFR 989, Environmental Impact Analysis Process, and the Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 6050.1, the United States Navy conducted an Environmental Assessment (EA), hereby incorporated by reference, on the potential environmental impacts of construction of a new Engineering Services Facility (ESF) for the Naval Ordnance Testing Unit (NOTU). The Navy is currently using several older buildings at the NOTU port area as offices for engineering services activities. The Navy must perform maintenance of the facilities, some of which are sparsely populated, as well as maintain all utilities associated with the facilities. To improve this situation, the Navy proposes to construct a single facility to house a complex of offices to provide a workplace for approximately 300 personnel. The EA evaluated potential environmental effects of constructing the NOTU facility at the proposed location, south of the Palisades Geophysics Institute (74100) off of Pier Road, an alternative site just south of the NOTU Support Facility (81701) on Samuel C. Phillips Parkway, and the No Action Alternative. Under the No Action alternative, the facility would not be built at either site and the Navy would continue operations, as is. No change to current conditions would occur from the No Action Alternative.
