alternative, current activities and 

mission requirements will continue on 

State of Mississippi, DoD, and National 

Forest lands. This alternative includes 

implementation of the projects 

discussed in this DEIS, in addition to 

the continuation of necessary 

maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation 

of the military training infrastructure at 

Camp Shelby. Environmental 

consequences for the Proposed Action 

and No Action Alternative, have been 

analyzed. The new project proposals 

have the potential for the following 

significant adverse impacts: 

(1) Direct and/or indirect effects on 

approximately 250 gopher tortoise 

(federal threatened species) burrows; 

(2) Direct and/or indirect effects on 

habitat for other Proposed, Endangered, 

Threatened, and Sensitive (PETS) 

species such as Louisiana quillwort 

(federal endangered species), black pine 

snake (federal candidate species), and 

other state and USDA–FS sensitive 

plant species. There would be direct 

positive effects on the red-cockaded 

woodpecker when colonies are 

relocated into the proposed Habitat 

Management Area at some time in the 

future; 

(3) Direct and/or indirect effects on 

approximately 275 acres of wetlands 

(requiring fill of an estimated 20 acres 

of wetlands); 

(4) Direct effects by removal of 

approximately 120 acres for pine and 

hardwood forested areas; 

(5) Direct effects by movement of 

approximately 250,000 cubic yards of 

earth, and resulting direct and/or 

indirect effects from erosion and 

sedimentation; 

(6) The potential environmental 

impacts associated with the Combined 

Arms Area (CAA) reconfiguration 

warrant a separate discussion. The 

proposed CAA reconfiguration would 

result in an approximate 4,300-acre 

reduction in size and the amount of 

unavoidable potential significant 

adverse impacts associated with forest 

clearing/thinning and maneuver area 

usage from the CAA addressed and 

approved for construction in the 1994 

SUP EIS. This large maneuver area is 

about 12 percent complete 

(approximately 5,000 acres) based on 

the 1994 design. The MSNG and USDA–

FS propose to reconfigure the CAA to 

reduce environmental impacts from the 

original design while still meeting the 

military training needs. The proposed 

reconfigured CAA would still produce 

potential significant adverse impacts; 

however, it would definitely be an 

improvement from an environmental 

standpoint over the original plan (and 

within the scope of the effects analyzed 

and documented in the 1994 SUP EIS). 

While the wetland acreage 

(approximately 2,719 acres), gopher 

tortoise burrow numbers (3,015 

burrows), and Louisiana quillwort 

colonies appear to be significant, the 

relatively minor impacts to date on the 

completed portion of the CAA places 

the potential effect of the 

reconfiguration into perspective given 

the overall reduction in acreage.
