DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Air Force

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement for

Enhanced Training In Idaho Mountain

Home AFB, ID

The United States Air Force intends

to prepare an Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) to analyze the proposed

action regarding the establishment of a

tactical training range in Owyhee

County, Idaho supporting enhanced

training for Mountain Home AFB and

the Idaho Air National Guard. In

conjunction with the range,

modification of airspace would occur in

the state of Idaho and Nevada. This

proposal will be known as Enhanced

Training in Idaho (ETI).

The Air Force proposes to establish

the ETI in the eastern half of Owyhee

County, Idaho, near Clover Butte. This

proposal would establish a series of

target areas including one tactical range,

five simulated bombing target areas and

a series of 30 emitter sites to

compliment existing assets and allow

various training opportunities.

The ETI would consist of a 12,000-

acre tactical range designed to provide

aircrews with a realistic target array that

allows simultaneous attacks from any

axis. Only small training munitions

would be expended on the tactical

range. In addition, the Air Force would

establish five simulated bombing sites

on which no ordnance would be

expended. The simulated bombing

target areas would consist of two

industrial complexes with a railyard,

two Surface-to-Air Missile sites, and a

Forward Edge of Battle Area array. Four

of the simulated bombing areas would

each cover 5-acres and the remaining

area would cover 1-square mile.

In addition to the target areas, the Air

Force would establish ten 1-acre emitter

sites and twenty 0.25-acre emitter sites.

These emitter sites would allow the

placement of simulated enemy threat

radars to provide aircrews with a

diverse target/threat array. In total, the

proposed ETI would supplement the

existing range facilities, and allow

various target numbers and locations to

provide realism and simulate

anticipated combat conditions.

Airspace actions associated with the

ETI would permit more efficient

utilization of the airspace and range

assets. The proposal includes expansion

of the Owyhee Military Operations Area

(MOA) to the north and expansion of

the Paradise East MOA to the southeast

to join the Owyhee MOA. Restricted

airspace would be restructured within
