Final Environmental Assessment: ACC Gate to College Blvd Gas Pipeline
Abstract
Background: Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEP A) ( 40 Code of Federal Regulations Parts (CFR) 1500-1508), Department of Defense Directive 6050.1 and Air Force Regulation 32 CFR part 989, Okaloosa Gas District (Okaloosa Gas) with support from the Air Force has conducted an Environmental Assessment (EA) of probable consequences for upgrading the existing gas pipeline from Eglin's Air Combat Command (ACC) Gate to College Boulevard. This improvement would occur exclusively on Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) property. The purpose of the proposed action is to provide additional gas capacity necessary to meet current demand and future growth for the Niceville, Valparaiso, and Eglin AFB areas while decreasing pressure on an existing 6~inch pipeline located in the proposed project area. The EA considered all potential impacts of the proposed action and no action alternative, both as solitary actions and in conjunction with other activities. This Finding of No Significant Impact summarizes the environmental results of implementing the proposed action. Discussion focuses on activities that have potential to change both the natural and human environments.
