JBA proposes a program of targeted construction and demolition activities intended to improve its operational efficiency and ensure that the installation can sustain its current and future national security operations and mission-readiness status. The proposed activities are Construct a Helicopter Operations Facility. Construct a new fitness center and demolish the West Fitness Center (Building 1444). Construct a new Child Development Center (CDC) and demolish CDC #1 (Building 4575). Construct a Security Forces Group complex and demolish two buildings (Building 1642 [Base Library] and Building 1605 [a vehicle wash rack]) that are on the site selected for the complex. Enlarge the parking lot adjacent to Building 1845. Demolish Building 1988 (a traffic check house) and construct a new traffic check house in the same location. Demolish Buildings 1429 (a generator building), 1679 (Chapel 3), and 1732 (a heat plant), and the canopy and fuel tanks at Building 1685 (a former Army and Air Force Exchange Service gas station). Modify three entry control facilities (Main Gate, Pearl Harbor Gate, and Virginia Gate). The scope of this Installation Development EA includes an evaluation of alternatives for the various projects, where applicable, and analysis of the cumulative effects on the natural and man-made environments. This EA has been prepared to report the evaluation conducted of the proposed action and alternatives including the No Action Alternative. Resource areas addressed in the EA are noise, air quality, safety and occupational health, earth resources, water resources, infrastructure/utilities, transportation, hazardous materials and wastes, biological resources, cultural resources, historic and archaeological resources socioeconomics (including environmental justice and protection of children), land use and visual resources, and sustainability and greening. The Draft EA is made available to agencies and the public for a 30-day comment period from February 5, 2013, to March 7, 2013.
