The issues that were identified for detailed consideration are: air quality, solid and hazardous wastes (including liquid waste streams), and water quality. Alternatives Considered in Detail Alternative A (No Action Alternative)-Under the no action alternative, a new automotive/arts and crafts skills center would not be constructed, and adequate facilities would not be provided. The existing facility would operate as it currently exists. Deficiencies would continue to exist. Alternative B (Proposed Action-Construct an Automotive/Arts and Crafts Skills Center West of F Avenue on Hill AFB)-The proposed action would include: • footings and foundations to support a structural steel shell (25,100 ft 2 of building space); • all utilities including mechanical and electrical systems; • parking, concrete sidewalks, and landscaping; and • connections to adjacent buried utilities consisting of water, electricity, natural gas, telephone/data, sanitary sewer, and storm drains. No demolition is currently planned. Building 534 would remain vacant until a new use is identified for it. Decisions That Must Be Made Hill AFB must decide whether to: • not provide a new automotive/arts and crafts skills center (no action), or • provide a new automotive/arts and crafts skills center. • If the decision is to construct a new automotive/arts and crafts skills center, then a decision must be made as to where the facility will be located. If Hill AFB decides to construct a new automotive/arts and crafts skills center, the proponent and environmental managers would comply with the best management practices indicated in this environmental assessment. Further, within 90 days of a written decision pursuant to this environmental assessment, the proponent and environmental managers would then decide if additional monitoring plans and measures, if any, should be implemented. Results of the Environmental Assessment Alternatives A and B were considered in detail. The results of the environmental assessment are summarized in the following table.
Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

The original document contains color images. Hill Air Force Base (AFB) proposes to construct a new child development center to provide a high-quality and safe developmental learning environment for up to 305 children of military and civilian families. The proposed child development center and associated parking lot would be located to the west of an existing undersized child development center. The findings of this EA indicate that the proposed action would not have significant adverse effects on the human environment or any of the environmental resources as described in the EA. Therefore, it is concluded that a Finding of No Significant Impact is justified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
