Haught, Laura
An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared to evaluate potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts of the Proposed Action and alternatives for demolishing 35 buildings within the Munitions Storage Area (MSA) at Grand Forks Air Force Base (AFB). The EA is attached to this Finding of No Significant Impact and Finding of No Practicable Alternative documents and is incorporated by reference per 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1502.21. The United States Air Force (USAF) proposes to demolish 35 buildings and helicopter denial poles within the MSA (the Proposed Action). The purpose of the Proposed Action is to remove excess facilities and infrastructure within the MSA that are no longer needed and that represent sources of potential contamination. There are two alternatives for this Proposed Action: the No Action Alternative and one Alternative Action. The Proposed Action will include demolition of the 35 buildings to the foundation level, removal of pavements, driveways, and culverts, removal of helicopter denial poles, and grading and seeding of disturbed areas. The Proposed Action would take in a threephase process over approximately three-years. The Alternative Action would demolish the 35 buildings and remove helicopter denial poles within the MSA at one time rather than in a threephase process. Under the No Action Alternative, the buildings and the area would remain vacant.
