NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND PROPOSED FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR F-22 FUEL DISPENSING SYSTEM FOR JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, ALASKA An Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared to analyze the potential impacts of constructing new fueling infrastructure necessary to support the fifth generation F-22 fighter aircraft and demolishing existing Tank Farm 5 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) to meet the current 3rd Wing/673d Logistics Readiness Squadron's fuel storage and fueling needs. The proposed action would construct two 5,000-barrel (210,000 gallon) above-ground storage tanks for jet propulsion fuel, a pumphouse, a four-position truck fillstand, two position offload stand and a connection to the existing transfer pipeline. The proposed action also includes demolition of the existing Tank Farm 5. The EA, prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Council on Environmental Quality regulations, and Air Force regulations implementing NEPA, evaluates the environmental effects of the proposed action and alternatives, including the No Action Alternative. Based on this analysis, the Air Force has prepared a proposed Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The Draft EA and proposed FONSI are available for review at the following locations: Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Library, Bldg. 7, JBER-R, AK 99505 Z.J. Loussac Library, 3600 Denali Street, Anchorage, AK 99503 Chugiak-Eagle River Library, 12001 Business Boulevard 176, Eagle River Town Center, Eagle River, AK 99577 Electronic copies of the documents can also be found on the JBER website at https://www.jber.jb.mil/Services-Resources/Environmental/Environmental-Planning/ Comments received by 15 November 2024 will be considered in preparation of the Final Environmental Assessment.
