This environmental assessment (EA) describes the potential environmental consequences for the demolition of five facilities on Langley AFB, to include the LOX storage facility, LOX maintenance facility, small gas engine repair shop, greenhouse, and the security police operations building. Seven resource categories received a thorough evaluation to identify potential impacts. An increase to safety risks during demolition would be mitigated by employing standard safety procedures. Any noise associated with work at these sites would be temporary and localized. These actions would have the potential to disturb portions of various ERP sites; a waiver from ACC would be necessary, which would identify appropriate control measures. Some of the sites are located near archeological resources. In the event of an unexpected discovery, work would halt the and proper coordination procedures would be completed. These actions would be consistent with the Langley General Plan, and any transportation impacts resulting from increased traffic would be minor and temporary. Air Quality and Physical Resources would not be significantly affected by this action. No long term environmental consequences are anticipated.
