DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Notice of Intent (NOI) To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for Proposed Establishment and
Expansion of Military Airspace in
Support of the Oregon Air National
Guard (ORANG), Portland International
Airport, Portland, and Kingsley Field,
Klamath Falls, OR
AGENCY:
Department of the Air Force;
DOD.
ACTION:
Notice of Intent.
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321, et
seq.), the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) Regulations for
Implementing the Procedural Provisions
of NEPA (40 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 Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed
establishment and expansion of Special
Use Airspace over portions of Oregon
and a small area over northwestern
Nevada and southwestern Washington.
The proposal would provide adequately
sized and configured airspace within
close proximity to ORANG flying units
to support advanced 21st-century air-toair tactical fighter technologies and
current and evolving training mission
requirements and ensure efficient and
realistic mission-oriented training. The
training would take place Monday
through Friday and during one weekend
per month.
In support of the ORANG’s 142d and
173d Fighter Wings, the Air Force and
the National Guard Bureau (NGB) are
proposing (Alternative A) to expand,
modify, and establish air-to-air training
airspace areas in four locations around
the state: (1) Proposed expansion of
Warning Area 570 (W–570) to the west
over the Pacific Ocean; (2) proposed
establishment of the Eel Military
Operations Area (MOA) directly
underneath the existing Eel Air Traffic
Control Assigned Area which is aligned
north/south along the Oregon coast from
approximately Astoria to Lincoln City
and adjacent to W–570; (3) proposed
establishment of the Redhawk MOA in
north central Oregon roughly bounded
by Highway 97/197 on the west, the
towns of Wasco and Lexington on the
north, US Highway 395 on the east, and
US Highway 26 on the south; and (4)
proposed expansion of the existing
Juniper/Hart MOA Complex to the east
approximately 20 miles which would
extend from approximately Burns to
Frenchglen in Oregon and to Big
SUMMARY:

Mountain in northwestern Nevada. Four
alternatives and the No-Action
Alternative will be analyzed.
Alternative B includes the majority of
airspace changes proposed for
Alternative A; however, the Eel MOA
would not be established. Alternative C
includes the airspace changes proposed
under Alternative A but the Redhawk
MOA would not be established.
Alternative D includes the airspace
changes under Alternative A but would
not include the eastward expansion of
Juniper/Hart MOA Complex. Reasonable
alternatives, which satisfy the
underlying purpose and need for the
proposed action, that are identified
during the scoping process will also be
assessed.
Information: NGB will conduct public
scoping meetings to solicit input
concerning the proposal. The scoping
process assists in determining the scope
of issues to be addressed and to help
identify significant environmental
issues to be analyzed in depth in the
EIS. Comments will be accepted at any
time during the environmental impact
analysis process; however, to ensure
that NGB has sufficient time to consider
public feedback in the preparation of
the Draft EIS, scoping comments should
be submitted to the address below no
later than 60 days from the date of this
notice.
Scoping meetings will be held in the
following Oregon communities:
Tillamook (June 17), Astoria (June 18),
Condon (June 19), Burns (June 20), and
Prineville (June 21). Specific meeting
times and locations will be provided in
notices that will appear in The
Oregonian and regional media outlets.
Additional information will be made
available at www.142fw.ang.af.mil and
