The No Action Alternative is also addressed in the FEIS. The FEIS analyses indicate that implementation of the preferred alternative will have short and longterm, significant adverse impacts on the transportation network at Fort Belvoir and its surrounding area, moderate to significant impacts on biological resources, and long-term minor adverse and beneficial impacts on socioeconomic resources. Minor short and long-term adverse impacts on all other resources at the installation would potentially occur from implementation of the preferred alternative.
