DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Air Force
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (Eis)
for the Implementation of the Base
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005
Decisions and Related Actions at Eglin
Air Force Base (AFB), FL
AGENCY:
Department of the Air Force,
DOD.
ACTION:
Notice of intent.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended (42 United States
Code 4321, et seq.), the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations for
implementing procedural provisions of
NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulation
(CFR) Parts 1500–1508), and Air Force
policy and procedures (32 CFR Part
989), the Air Force is issuing this notice
to advise the public of its intent to
prepare an EIS evaluating potential

environmental impacts associated with
implementation of the 2005 BRAC
Commission’s recommendations and
related actions for Eglin AFB, FL.
The 2005 BRAC Commission
identified establishment of a Joint Strike
Fighter (JSF) Integrated Training Center
(ITC), relocation of the Army 7th
Special Forces Group (Airborne)
[7SFG(A)] from Fort Bragg, North
Carolina, and creating an Air Integrated
Weapons and Armaments Research,
Development and Acquisition, Test and
Evaluation Center by relocating the
Weapons and Armaments In-Service
Engineering Research, Development and
Acquisition, and Test and Evaluation
from Hill AFB, UT and the Defense
Threat Reduction Agency from Fort
Belvoir, VA to Eglin AFB. The JSF ITC
would be the initial training site for
joint Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps
JSF training organizations, as well as the
United Kingdom, which is a full partner
in this program. The training site would
teach aviators and maintenance
technicians how to properly operate and
maintain 107 F–35 aircraft. As part of
this action, F–35 basing, facility
construction and renovation, on-site
maintenance and use of training
airspace are being analyzed. The 7SFG
(A)’s principal mission includes
planning and executing unconventional
warfare, combating terrorism operations,
direct action, special reconnaissance,
and foreign internal defense. Their
realignment to Eglin provides multiservice collocation, joint training
synergy with Air Force Special
Operations Command and places
7SFG(A) on training lands that match
their wartime area of responsibility in
Central and South America.
Approximately 4,600 personnel are
associated with the bed down of both
organizations. When including spouses
and children, the estimated total of
personnel coming to the Eglin AFB area
would be 10,000 people. As part of this
action, the Air Force is considering
various alternatives for facility
construction and renovation, land range
development, equipment storage and
operation, and land-based training/
maneuvering to be analyzed in the EIS.
The EIS may also include within its
scope the potential environmental
effects associated with socioeconomics,
transportation, noise, cultural resources,
water resources, wetlands, floodplains,
air quality, land use, infrastructure, and
biological resources. The Air Force will
conduct scoping meetings to solicit
public input concerning this proposal.

The scoping process will help identify
issues to be addressed in the
environmental analysis. The exact dates,
times and location(s) will be announced
through local media. Oral and written
comments presented at the public
meetings, as well as written comments
received by the Air Force during this
scoping period and throughout the EIS
process, will be considered in the
preparation of the EIS and will be made
a part of the administrative record.
