Environmental Assessment of Eight Proposed Construction and Maintenance Projects at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, New York
Abstract
The purpose of the Proposed Action is to renovate, construct, or replace infrastructure and facilities at Niagara Falls ARS to enable personnel to perform activities necessary to meet USAF mission, emergency response, and force protection concerns at the Installation. The 914 AW has identified the need to implement 8 construction and maintenance projects to support various base organizations. These projects are 1. Revitalize water distribution system. 2. Extend AFRC ramp. 3. Widen driveway at Hazardous Waste Storage Building (Building 830) and repave existing driveway. 4. Add to and alter Civil Engineering Building (Building 425). 5. Construct bivouac. 6. Replace Wagner Drive culvert. 7. Reconfigure parking lots to meet antiterrorism standards. 8. Study and replace sanitary sewer system. Under the No Action Alternative, Niagara Falls ARS personnel would continue to use existing facilities and plans. There would be no change from existing conditions at the Installation. This alternative would not address USAF mission, emergency response, and force protection concerns at Niagara Falls ARS. An EA has been prepared to evaluate the Proposed Action, alternative actions, and the No Action Alternative. Resources that were considered in the impact analysis include noise, land use, air quality, safety, geological resources, water resources, cultural resources, biological resources infrastructure, and hazardous materials and wastes. The EA will be made available to the public upon completion.
