JB Langley-Eustis Implementation II
Abstract
The intent of the project and this supplemental task are directly related to recommendations from the Hampton-Langley Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) completed in August 2010 and Hampton-Langley Air Force Base Joint Land Use Study Addendum completed in August 2018. These studies identified the need for a new route to a new Entry Control Facility (ECF). Additionally, based on a preliminary review of background environmental material it is anticipated that wetlands and waters (e.g., streams, creeks, etc.) are likely present on the subject site. To address this potential concern and/or to pre-emptively verify the extent of these environmental considerations, this task will involve conducting a wetland delineation of the site that will be confirmed with the USACE to accurately identify the boundaries, extents and types of wetlands and waters on the potential future ECF location. Utilizing the results of the wetland delineation, the project team will develop an updated Course of Action concept. The updated concept will focus on avoiding and minimizing wetland impacts to the maximum extent practicable while still supporting all defined mission essential functions of the proposed ECF, in order to reduce the required permitting effort, time/regulatory review duration, and compensatory mitigation costs. This information will be taken into account as a part of the JBLE ECF preferred COA evaluation and refinement process.
