JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. –
Draft Environmental Assessment and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact for Joint Base Andrews-Naval Air Facility Washington, Md.
Joint Base Andrews announces the availability of and invites public comments on the Draft Environmental Assessment
(EA) and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Finding of No Practicable Alternative
(FONPA) for Replacement of Taxiway Sierra, Taxiway Whiskey, Pad 12, and Pad 13 at Joint Base Andrews (JBA).
Under the Proposed Action, JBA would improve its operational efficiency by replacing Taxiways Sierra and Whiskey and Pads 12 and 13 on the airfield.
The Draft EA shows that the Proposed Action would not significantly impact the environment and supports a FONSI/FONPA. Consequently, an Environmental Impact Statement is not needed.
Copies of the Draft EA and Draft FONSI/FONPA are available for review until April 7, 2013 at the Upper Marlboro Branch Library of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System.
Copies are also available at the JBA Library at 1642 Brookley Ave. The Draft EA and Draft FONSI/FONPA are available online at
