Air Force Environmental Impact Analysis Process for Air Quality

摘要

EIAP outlines the Air force's systematic procedures for the analysis of environmental impacts on installations to ensure Air Force compliance with NEPA and the CEQ regulations. The EIAP provides methodical interdisciplinary approach to environmental planning and the evaluation of proposed actions that may affect the environment. Additionally, the EIAP regulation outlines a detailed process for preparing EISs and EAs. This process assists Air Force officials in decision-making based on an understanding of the potential environmental consequences and to take actions that protect, restore, and enhance the environment. The Air Force has expanded on the EIAP process to address specific air quality concerns. The Air Quality EAIP guidance outlines the steps for the analysis of air quality related environmental impacts on installations in the United States and abroad. The policies and procedures set forth in the guidance are designed to ensure Air Force compliance with NEPA and the CEQ regulations as they relate to air quality.
