Description
Summary:The 140th Wing (140 WG) of the Colorado Air National Guard (ANG) proposes to construct and operate an adequately sized, technologically up-to-date, and properly configured Squadron Operations Facility at Buckley Air Force Base (AFB) to accommodate the requirements of the Air Sovereignty Alert (ASA) and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) missions. The Proposed Action would provide a new Squadron Operation Facility as well as interior modifications to the existing Squadron Operations Facility (Building 700) to provide an adequate facility for the 140 Security Forces. Alternatives to the Proposed Action include two alternative site locations for the Squadron Operations Facility. This Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates the potential environmental impacts from implementing the Proposed Action and alternatives. The EA has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act to analyze the potential environmental consequences of the Proposed Action and alternatives. Under the No Action Alternative, no construction, modification, relocation, demolition, or operation of elements of the Proposed Action would occur. The environmental resources evaluated for the Proposed Action include land use, socioeconomics, air quality, noise, earth resources, water resources, biological resources, solid and hazardous materials and waste, utilities, environmental justice, and cultural resources.
