Final Environmental Assessment for the Construction of a Temporary Lodging Facility, Eglin Air Force Base, FL

摘要

This Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzes and presents the potential environmental consequences associated with the construction of a temporary lodging facility (TLF) at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), Florida. The Air Force proposes the construction of a new TLF complex on approximately 10 acres at Eglin AFB, plus the renovation of the ten Waterside TLF units. The complex will consist of 32 units and will include a primary facility, supporting facilities, setbacks, and open space. The purpose of this action is to update TLFs at Eglin AFB in order to accommodate the increase of permanent change of station demand associated with an upward population trend in the next several years. In addition, several of the existing TLFs at Eglin AFB are in poor condition and do not meet Air Force standards for TLF accommodations. Thus, there is a need to ensure adequate TLFs at Eglin AFB to meet current and future demand.
