Proposed Aircraft Conversion of the 

167th Airlift Wing (AW) of West Virginia 

Air National Guard (ANG), Eastern 

West Virginia Regional Airport 

(EWVRA), Martinsburg, WV

ACTION: Record of Decision (ROD).

SUMMARY: On September 3, 2004, the 

United States Air Force signed the ROD 

for the Proposed Aircraft Conversion of 

the 167th AW of West Virginia ANG, 

EWVRA, Martinsburg, West Virginia. 

The Department of the Air Force is 

issuing the ROD to convert from the 

existing transport fleet of C–130H 

aircraft used by the 167 AW of WV ANG 

to the larger C–5 aircraft. The action that 

will be implemented consists of: (1) 

Conversion from the C–130H to the C–

5 aircraft; (2) acquisition of land 

(approximately 135 acres) via lease; and 

(3) construction of facilities on the 

existing and acquired parcels. When 

implemented, this action will result in 

construction of new aircraft hangers and 

related maintenance and training 

facilities, lengthening of Runway 08/26, 

and closure of Runway 17/35. 

The decision was based on matters 

discussed in the ROD, the Final EIS, 

inputs from the public and regulatory 

agencies, and other relevant factors. The 

Final EIS was made available on July 30, 

2004 in the Federal Register: (Volume 

69, Number 146, Page 5708) with a 

waiting period ending August 30, 2004. 

The Air Force was the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) lead 

agency with the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) acting as a 

Cooperating Agency under NEPA. The 

ROD documents only the decision of the 

Air Force with respect to the proposed 

Air Force actions analyzed in the Final 

EIS.
