The action for this FEIS consists of withdrawal of various organizational units from Norton AFB and their relocation primarily to March AFB. Other units would be relocated to McChord, Kirtland, Travis, Luke, Los Angeles, and McClellan AFBs. The relocation actions will include transfers of personnel, aircraft, and various other equipment and material. This FEIS assesses the environmental impacts associated with the action. The substantive areas of potential environmental impact that are analyzed are air quality, water resources, earth resource, biotic resources, cultural and historic resources, noise, hazardous waste, accident potential zones, and socioeconomics. This FEIS describes the baseline conditions, potential environmental impacts (beneficial and adverse), and possible mitigations of adverse impacts. The Base Closure and Realignment Act specifically exempts this FEIS from considering the need, purpose, or reasons for the withdrawal or alternatives for closure or realignment.
The action evaluated in this environmental impact statement (EIS) is the closure of George Air Force Base (AFB) in California. The closure is the result of the recommendations of the Defense Secretary's Commission on Base Realignments and Closures, from legislative requirements in the Base Closure and Realignment Act (Public Law 100-526; the 'Act'), and from U.S. Air Force plans to enhance mission readiness and national security. Primarily, the closure of George AFB will involve the relocation of personnel, 92-F-4E/G aircraft, equipment, and supplies to Mountain Home AFB in Idaho and the inactivation of 24 OV-10 aircraft. In addition to the above activities directly related to the closing of Georgia AFB, the following unit moves will also occur. Twenty-three combat-coded F-4E/G aircraft in the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing at George AFB are to be deactivated beginning in October 1989, along with a reduction of 745 personnel authorizations. These movements were planned prior to the Commission's recommendations and will occur prior to the actual closing of the Base which is scheduled for the winter of 1992. Also, there is a planned relocation of Air Warrior from George AFB to Nellis AFB in Nevada. This EIS baseline assumes that all units are currently operational as described in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 of this document assesses the impacts of the closure of the Base (withdrawal of all units). (sdw).
