Environmental Assessment of the Demolition of Building 78 and Construction of New Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste Storage Buildings, Los Angeles Air Force Base.

摘要

The United States Air Force (Air Force) proposes to build two hazardous waste and hazardous materials storage buildings at Los Angeles Air Force Base (LAAFB). One of these buildings will be located at LAAFB and the other at Fort MacArthur. Included in this project is the demolition of Building 78 at Fort MacArthur, as it will be replaced by the new building. In proposing the development of a new facility at LAAFB, the Air Force must comply with general procedural environmental review requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (Publ ic Law 91-190, 42 United States Code [USC] 4321 through 4337) and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations ( 40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 1500-1508) and the Environmental Impact Analysis Process, formerly known as Air Force Instruction [AFI) 32-7061 (32 CFR Part 989, et seq.). This Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzes the potential environmental consequences associated with the Proposed Action and alternatives in accordance with the requirements described above. The purpose of this EA is to provide information to Air Force decision makers regarding the potential environmental consequences of the Proposed Action, including the No Action Alternative. This EA serves as the environmental documentation in support of the decision makers' selection and approval of the Proposed Action or No Action Alternative.
