Environmental Assessment: For Tree Clearing along Roadways at Clear Air Force Station
Abstract
The action being evaluated in this environmental assessment consists of clearing trees along approximately 5 miles of road (7500 feet) at Clear Air Force Station. Trees will be cleared along Lake Road and the North-South Road using a drum type flail mower. The mower is mounted on an excavator and chips the trees as it clears, keeping the debris in the work area. The mower can mulch trees up to 12 inches in diameter and 40 feet tall. This environmental assessment evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action, the no-action alternative, and a proposed alternative action. The areas of potential impact analyzed are air quality, noise, hazardous materials, solid and hazardous wastes, biological resources, including threatened and endangered species, earth resources, cultural resources, land use, and socioeconomics. The environmental assessment describes the baseline conditions, environmental impacts (beneficial and adverse), potential mitigation measures.
