: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S. Code [USC} 4321 et seq.), and pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality's Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500-1508, as of July 1986), and Air Force regulations for the Environmental Impact Analysis Process (32 CFR 989), 88th Air Base Wing (ABW) Civil Engineer Directorate, Asset Management Division prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the glide slope and clear zone obstructions at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Ohio. This EA is incorporated by reference into this finding. The Air Force identified the need to remove obstacles within the glide slope and clear zones (CZs) at WPAFB in order to protect human health and safety by providing adequate clearance for aircraft operations. The existing vegetative overstory is obstructing the primary surface area, CZs, transitional areas, and glide slopes for both runways at WPAFB. The purpose of the project is to protect human health and safety by removing and pruning vegetation in 18 identified sites located in three distinct areas: Wright Memorial, Riverview, and Sandhill.

Abstract : As part of the Army's ongoing research and development program related to red water (KO47) treatment, the U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC) contracted IT Corporation to prepare conceptual designs and plans for pilot scale demonstrations of two treatment technologies: wet air oxidation (WAO) and circulating bed combustion (CBC). The project objectives included development of a Test Plan and a Health and Safety Plan for these demonstrations. The Project Summary Report presents the conceptual designs. This Project Summary Report and the Test Plan and Health and Safety Plan are intended to serve as guides for development of complete project plans when the technology demonstration program is implemented. Because red water is not currently available for testing and the test site (host facility) where the demonstrations will be conducted has not been identified, these documents are intended to be generic in nature.
