Construction of a Stormwater Detention System And Relocation of 12 Previously Assessed Housing Units, Military Family Housing Revitalization Project, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.

摘要

This SEA evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the location of construction of four General Officer's Quarters (GOQ) and eight Senior Officer's Quarters (1SOQ) and the construction of two detention basins at Nellis AFB. The 12 GOQ/SOQ units were considered part of the original MFH Revitalization Project however, the proposed location of these units changed since the original February 2005 Final EA was released. The proposed action is driven by Office of the Secretary of Defense's (OSD) Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), that tasked the Department of Defense (DoD) services to revitalize, divest through privatization, or demolish inadequate housing by or before fiscal year 2011. This SEA has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act to analyze the potential environmental consequences of the Proposed Action and the No-Action Alternative. Under the No-Action Alternative, no activities associated with the detention basins would occur; however, construction of the 12 MFH units would occur in the original location. The Air Force would not be able to protect or reduce the risk of the MFH areas currently under construction from future flooding. The environmental resources potentially affected by the Proposed Action are socioeconomics, land use, aesthetics, transportation, utilities, hazardous materials geology, water resources, air quality, noise, biological resources, and environmental justice. Based on the nature of activities associated with the revitalization of the MFH areas and the detention basin construction activities, the Air Force has determined that impacts associated with these resources would not be significant.
