摘要

The 325 FW at Tyndall AFB is planning future installation development based upon the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) contained within the current Tyndall AFB General Plan (General Plan). The purpose of the proposed and alternative actions is to construct renovate, demolish, and operate facilities and infrastructure to support current and potential future training levels at Tyndall AFB. The projects resulting from the CIP requirements are needed to improve the effectiveness of training; enhance quality of life; replace old, inadequate facilities; correct current deficiencies; and accommodate any potential future mission activities. The proposed and alternative actions provide a range of construction, renovation, and demolition scenarios so that a comparison can be made of the impacts from the status quo, implementation of the CIP and related mission projects, and construction and demolition of the installation to a substantially higher level of mission activity. The Proposed Action would construct, renovate, and demolish facilities and infrastructure at Tyndall AFB to improve the effectiveness of training; enhance quality of life; replace old inadequate facilities; and correct current deficiencies. There would be no new missions or personnel assigned to Tyndall AFB as a result of the Proposed Action. The Air Force proposes to implement the CIP projects identified in the General Plan and other mission activities in support of the ongoing mission at Tyndall AFB. The Potential Development Alternative (PDA) represents a broader approach to installation and mission development at Tyndall AFB. The PDA would incorporate the construction and demolition activities defined in the Proposed Action, additional programmed projects, as well as broader installation expansion. Under the PDA, approximately 6,442 acres of land would be developed at Tyndall AFB. This would represent development of approximately 75 percent of the developable land on Tyndall AFB.
