JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. –
Draft Installation Development 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 Installation Development Environmental Assessment (IDEA) and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for multiple projects at Joint Base Andrews (JBA).
Under the Proposed Action, JBA would undertake a program of targeted construction and demolition activities intended to improve its operational efficiency and ensure that the base can sustain its current and future national security operations and mission-readiness status.
No increase in the number of personnel or change in operations at JBA is anticipated. The Draft IDEA shows that the Proposed Action would not significantly impact the environment and supports a FONSI. Consequently, an Environmental Impact Statement is not needed.
Copies of the Draft IDEA and Draft FONSI are available for review until March 24, 2012, 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
IDEA and Draft
FONSI are available online at
