Air Force Accepting Public Comment on Area B Fire Station Modernization Published Sept. 2, 2014 By 88th Air Base Wing Installation Management Division WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- The United States Air Force will accept comments through Sept. 16, 2014 on the Environmental Assessment (EA) to modernize the fire station here in Area B. The Air Force is proposing to issue a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) based on the EA. The analysis considered potential effects of the proposed action and the No Action Alternative on the following resource areas: land use, air quality, noise, geology and soil, water resources, biological resources, cultural resources, hazardous materials and hazardous waste, environmental restoration sites, health and safety, infrastructure as well as socioeconomic and environmental justice. The results found in the EA show that a FONSI would be appropriate. An Environmental Impact Statement should not be necessary to implement the proposed action. The public is invited to review the documents at the Greene County Public Library, Fairborn Branch, located at 1 East Main Street, Fairborn, Ohio 45324-4701. The phone number to the library is (937) 878-9383. Written comments and inquiries on the EA and FONSI/FONPA should be directed to: 88 Air Base Wing Public Affairs 5135 Pearson Road, Bldg. 10, Room 252 Wright-Patterson, Ohio 45433 (937) 522-3252 88abw.pa@us.af.mil
