Book Description
This EA describes the potential environmental consequences resulting from a proposal for demolition of the existing, dilapidated CATM range and the construction of a new, indoor CATM at the same site. Nine resource categories received a thorough evaluation to identify potential impacts. An increase to safety risks during demo and construction would be mitigated by employing OSHA and Fire Protection codes. Any noise associated with work on the CATM would be temporary in nature and limited to daytime hours. Air Quality would not be significantly affected, and no ozone-related emissions would result from this action. The action would have the potential to disturb portions of various ERP sites; a waiver from ACC would be necessary, which would identify appropriate control measures. The placement of the CATM at the proposed site would be consistent with the base General Plan, and any transportation impacts resulting from increased truck traffic would be minor. This action would have no significant effects on the Cultural, Biological, Water, and Socioeconomic resources. No long term environmental consequences are anticipated.
