Supplemental Environmental Assessment: Herbicide Application for Installation Fenceline, Railroad Tracks, and Broadleaf Weed Control at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, New York

Abstract

The purpose of the Proposed Action is to control weeds at Niagara Falls ARS in accordance with the Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) as necessary to meet USAF mission, emergency response, and force protection concerns at the Installation. The EA is tiered to the Environmental Assessment on Implementation of the Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) and Dry Chemical Testing at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, New York, June 13, 2005. Under the No Action Alternative, Niagara Falls ARS would not apply herbicides to control weeds along the Installation fenceline, railroad tracks, Runway 28 Right overrun and taxiways, and within improved areas. There would be no change from existing conditions at the Installation. This alternative would not address USAF mission and force protection concerns at Niagara Falls ARS. This supplemental EA has been prepared to evaluate the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. Resources that will be considered in the impact analysis are water and biological resources. The Draft Supplemental EA will be made available to the public upon completion.
