Environmental Assessment: Addressing Expanded Herbicide Applications and the Relocation of Dry Chemical Testing at Niagra Falls Air Reserve Station, New York

Abstract

The purpose of the Proposed Action is to expand herbicide applications and relocate annual fire truck dry chemical testing at Niagara Falls ARS to enable personnel to perform activities necessary to meet USAF mission and emergency response activities at the installation. Under the No Action Alternative, herbicide applications would not be expanded and the relocation of dry chemical testing would not occur. There would be no change from existing conditions at the installation. The EA evaluates the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. Resources that are considered in the impacts analysis include air quality, noise, land use, geological resources, water resources, biological resources, cultural resources, socioeconomics and environmental justice, infrastructure, hazardous materials and waste, and safety. The Draft EA was made available to the public.
