DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Air Force 

Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for Entry Control Reconfiguration Area 

at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH 

AGENCY: U.S. Air Force, Air Force 

Material Command and 88th Air Base 

Wing. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended (42 United States 

Code 4321, et seq.), the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations for 

implementing the procedural provisions 

of NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulation 

(CFR) Parts 1500–1508), and U.S. Air 

Force (USAF) policy and procedures (32 

CFR part 989), the USAF is issuing this 

notice to advise the public of its intent 

to prepare an EIS to evaluate potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the construction and operation of the 

proposed Entry Control Reconfiguration 

of Area A by Wright-Patterson Air Force 

Base (WPAFB). Public scoping meetings 

will be held to assist in identifying 

reasonable alternatives, potential 

impacts and the relative significance of 

impacts to be analyzed in the EIS. 

The purpose and need of the 

proposed action is to improve security, 

safety, and traffic flow into and on the 

military base. An EIS must be prepared 

to evaluate the environmental impacts 

associated with the relocation and 

reconfiguration of traffic entry into Area 

A of the base. The proposed action 

includes consolidating, relocating, and 

reconfiguring vehicle entry control 

points (ECPs); upgrading the ECPs to 

meet current Antiterrorism/Force 

Protection (ATFP) standards; and 

extending the base perimeter fence to 

encompass the Kittyhawk Center, 

enabling it to be contiguous with Area 

A of the base. 

The EIS will address issues associated 

with ECPs and the on-base roadway 

network located in Area A of the 

installation. The EIS will address 

primary concerns related to the ECPs 

and existing roadway network where 

State Route 444 separates the Kittyhawk 

Center. Another concern involves the 

need to consolidate the existing ECPs in 

Area A into a smaller set of upgraded 

and strategically placed gates. 

The EIS will analyze three 

alternatives: Closure existing State 

Route 444 through Area A and 

relocation of all traffic onto Kauffman 

Avenue and Central Avenue via DaytonYellow Springs Road, realignment of 

State Route 444 to the east of the 

WPAFB Kittyhawk Center and west of 

the existing railroad, and the No Action 

alternative. Technical studies related to 

the proposed reconfiguration of ECPs 

includes biological and cultural 

resources impact analysis, noise and air 

studies, and traffic analyses. The USAF 

intends to use the EIS process and 

documentation to fulfill its National 

Historic Preservation Act, Section 106 

consultation requirements (36 CFR 

800.8). 

Scoping: The USAF will hold public 

scoping meetings in mid January and 

early February at the Fairborn Council 

Chambers to solicit public participation 

in this environmental analysis. The 

public will be invited to participate in 

the scoping meetings and review the 

Draft Final EIS. Notification of the 

meeting locations, dates, and time will 

be made in the local area and will be 

announced via local news media. 

Information gathered during the public 

scoping will be used in the development 

of the Draft EIS. 

The scoping process will help identify 

the full range of reasonable alternatives, 

potential impacts and key issues to be 

emphasized in the environmental 

analysis. Recognizing that open 

communication of issues is a critical 

element of the EIS process, the USAF 

and WPAFB intend to ensure that the 

scoping experience is meaningful and 

productive for all participants. 

Accordingly, the project team is putting 

strong emphasis on an EIS process that 

fosters beneficial dialogue and 

relationship building among all 

stakeholders, particularly those in the 

Fairborn community in close proximity 

to WPAFB. Handicap assistance and 

translation service will be made 

available; please provide requests in 

advance to the point of contact listed 

below. 

Oral and written comments presented 

at the public scoping meetings, as well 

as written comments received by the 

USAF during this scoping period and 

throughout the EIS process, will be 

considered in the preparation of the EIS. 

Letters and other written or oral 

comments received may be published in 

the EIS along with the names of the 

individuals making the comments. 

(Personal home addresses and phone 

numbers will not be published.) As 

required by law, comments will be 

addressed in the EIS and made available 

to the public. Private addresses will 

only be used to develop a mailing list 

of those individuals requesting copies of 

the EIS. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Please direct any written comments or 

requests for information to Mr. Vince 

King, Public Affairs Office, 5215 

Thurlow Street, Bldg 70 Suite 4B, 

Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433– 

5543 (Phone: 937–522–3252; e-mail 

88ABWPAX@WPAFB.AF.MIL). 

Handicap assistance and translation 

service at the public meetings are 

available in advance through Mr. King.
