摘要：	Pursuant to provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 United States Code (USC) 4321 to 4270d, implementing Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations, 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1500-1508, and 32 CFR Part 989, Environmental Impact Analysis Process, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) assessed the potential environmental consequences associated with identifying and using a local area aircraft runway existing or proposed for construction within a reasonable timeframe that would best support the realistic C-130 short-field takeoff and landing training requirements of the 58th Special Operations Wing (58 SOW), currently located at and operating from Kirtland Air Force Base (AFB), Bernalillo County, New Mexico. The 58 SOW requires access to and use of short-field runways at austere airfields which simulate realworld takeoff and landing situations that pilots are confronted with in carrying out their assigned humanitarian, rescue, and other similar special flying operations missions. The type of austere airfields providing the functional utility necessary for the C-130 training activities do not exist at Kirtland AFB. The 58 SOW does not have the authority or capability of building short-field runways that meet reasonable and necessary standards to achieve realistic C-130 short-field takeoff and landing training. The 58 SOW must rely on access to and use of appropriate landing zones that are constructed, owned, and maintained by other non-USAF entities such as municipal airports, or other military runways, if available and accessible. The Environmental Assessment (EA), incorporated by reference into this finding, analyzes the potential environmental consequences of C-130 short-field takeoff and landing training activities at Belen Alexander Municipal Airport (BAMA). The EA considers the impacts of the Proposed Action and the NoAction Alternative, considering cumulative environmental impacts with other projects in the vicinity.
