Final Environmental Impact Statementfor the Construction and the Operation of aBattle Area Complex (BAX) and a Combined Arms Collective Training Facility (CACTF) within U.S. Army Training Lands in Alaska

U.S. Army Garrison, Alaska has prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed construction and operation of a BAX and a CACTF within U.S. Army Training Lands in Alaska. The purpose of the proposed project is to provide year-round, fully automated, comprehensive and realistic training and range facilities for U.S. Army Alaska and other units. The preferred alternative is to construct and operate a BAX and CACTF at Eddy Drop Zone. The Army’s review of comments received following the Supplemental Draft EIS release in March 2006 resulted in minor changes to the Final EIS. For more information regarding the Final EIS, please contact Major Kirk Gohlke, (907) 384-1542 or email, kirk.gohlke@richardson.army.mil
