Department of the Army
Notice of Availability for the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Disposition of Hangars 2 and 3,
Fort Wainwright, AK
Department of the Army, DoD.
Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of the Army
announces the availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Disposition of Hangars 2 and 3
at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. The Final
EIS analyzes and evaluates the potential
environmental impacts associated with
proposed disposition options for two
historic World War II-era hangars and
supporting infrastructure located on the
Main Post of Fort Wainwright. Cultural
resources would experience significant
impacts under both alternatives;
however, both the Ladd Field National
Historic Landmark and Cold War
Historic District will retain their historic
integrity despite the loss of the hangars

as contributing resources to these
districts.
The Army considered several reuse
alternatives for the hangars. All but one
of these reuse alternatives were
incompatible with the current or future
military mission at Fort Wainwright.
The one reuse alternative that was
compatible (using one of the hangars as
an unmanned aerial system
maintenance hangar) was determined to
be prohibitively expensive. As a result,
only one action alternative was
considered to be reasonable and was
analyzed in detail in the Final EIS:
demolition of Hangars 2 and 3
(Alternative 1). This alternative is the
Army’s preferred alternative. The No
Action Alternative was also considered
and carried through for detailed analysis
in the Final EIS. Under the No Action
Alternative, demolition of Hangars 2
and 3 would not occur, the hangars
would remain vacant, and they would
be maintained at minimal levels. The
No Action Alternative provides the
environmental baseline conditions for
comparing the impacts associated with
the other alternative.
DATES: The waiting period for the Final
EIS will end 30 days after the
publication of a Notice of Availability in
the Federal Register by the United
States Environmental Protection
Agency.
Please send questions or
requests for a copy of the Final EIS to

ADDRESSES:
Hangars 2
and 3 are contributing resources to the
Ladd Field National Historic Landmark
(Ladd Field NHL) and the Ladd Air
Force Base Cold War Historic District
(Cold War Historic District) at Fort
Wainwright. The Ladd Field NHL was
listed in the National Register of
Historic Places in 1984, and the Cold
War Historic District was determined to
be eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places in 2010. Constructed
between 1943 and 1944 as semipermanent structures, these hangars
have received varying degrees of
operational maintenance over the years,
but no large-scale rehabilitation has
occurred. To accommodate changing

missions, the Army completed
numerous interior modifications,
including creating doorways and
windows and altering the interior lateral
cross-bracing. The lack of rehabilitation,
interior modifications, the age of the
structures, a fire in Hangar 2, and the
harsh Alaskan environment all have
contributed to the compromised
structural integrity of both buildings.
The United States Army Garrison Fort
Wainwright, Alaska (USAG FWA) has
condemned the buildings, and they are
no longer used because they present a
safety hazard.
The Final EIS has been prepared in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), as amended (42 United States
Code § 4321 et seq.); NEPAimplementing regulations issued by the
President’s Council on Environmental
Quality (40 Code of Federal Regulations
[CFR] §§ 1500–1508); and the Army’s
NEPA-implementing regulation (32 CFR
§ 651, Environmental Analysis of Army
Actions). The purpose of the Final EIS
is to inform the decision makers,
agencies, interested parties, Alaska
Native tribes, and the public of possible
environmental consequences associated
with the reasonable disposition
alternatives for Hangars 2 and 3.
The USAG FWA entered into
consultation concerning the proposed
disposition of Hangars 2 and 3 as
required by Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act and its
implementing regulations (36 CFR
§ 800). The USAG FWA concludes that
the disposition would result in historic
properties being adversely affected. The
disposition of the hangars would
adversely affect the hangars as
contributing resources to the Ladd Field
NHL and the Cold War Historic District
and, in so doing, would adversely affect
both districts. The Army entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
with the Alaska State Historic
Preservation Office and the Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation
pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.6(2)(c) to
mitigate adverse effects.
Mitigation measures provided in the
MOA require public outreach in the
pursuit of more visibility and
appreciation for the Ladd Field NHL, reevaluation of the Ladd Field NHL, and
stewardship of the Ladd Field NHL.
Mitigation under the No Action
Alternative would be the same as under
Alternative 1, except the time frame for
completing the stipulations would be
based on the date of execution of the
MOA rather than on the demolition of
the hangars.

Public and agency comments received
on the Draft EIS did not result in
modification of the alternatives or the
environmental analysis; therefore, the
full text of the EIS has not been
reprinted. Instead, an erratum was
prepared to supplement the Draft EIS,
and these two documents together
constitute the Final EIS for the
Disposition of Hangars 2 and 3 at Fort
Wainwright, Alaska. Public and agency
comments received on the Draft EIS and
government responses can be found in
Appendix E of the Final EIS. Comments
received resulted in the inclusion of two
additional mitigation measures in the
final National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) Section 106 Memorandum of
Agreement. These additional mitigation
measures are also appropriately
reflected in the Final EIS, Section 3.0
Errata Sheet Revisions to be Made to the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
