Chapter 3 ⎯ Affected Environmentand PTA Trail. In general, most of the proposed project activities would occur within existing Armyinstallation boundaries (SBMR, DMR, KTA/KLOA, and PTA) as shown on Figure 3–1.3.1.14.2 FacilitiesThe existing facilities within each of the potentially affected Army installations are summarized in thefollowing subsections. Existing housing and other support facilities are located on SMBR, WAAF,SBER, and DMR. There are no housing facilities at DMR, KTA/KLOA, or PTA because no militaryor civilian personnel are permanently stationed or reside at these installations. Construction and renovationof buildings at SBMR, KTA, and PTA, as well as roadway and runway upgrades at WAAF,DMR, KTA, and PTA are planned. The ROI for the facilities analysis is shown on Figure 3–1.Schofield Barracks Military Reservation/Wheeler Army AirfieldThe SBMP, which includes 9,880 acres (3,998 hectares) includes a mixture of fee simple, leased andceded lands. The installation master plan identified facilities within the SBMP, which include trainingranges, an ordnance impact area, conservation land, and the Cantonment area (Belt Collins 1993).The SBER land is also a mixture of fee simple, leased and ceded lands and totals 5,154 acres (2,086hectares). The installation master plan identified the facilities at SBER as training, education facilities,the U.S. Army Non-Commissioned Officers Academy, warehouses, and a maintenance facility(Belt Collins 1993).The WAAF, which consists of 1,369 acres (554 hectares), includes administration, housing, maintenance,training, and flight facilities for peacetime mission requirement, including security and law enforcementsupport. This also includes a mixture of fee simple, leased and ceded lands. The installationmaster plan identified facilities in vicinity of the proposed project activities as operations/airfield,supply/storage, and training (Belt Collins 1994). Housing for Soldiers who work at WAAF is providedboth at WAAF and at SBMR.The SRAA was recently acquired by the Army to support SBCT transformation. SRAA consists ofapproximately 1,402 acres (567 hectares). A fixed small-arms live-fire qualification range is plannedfor SRAA.The Helemano Trail would connect the SBMP with an HMR access road (Paalaa Uka PupukeaRoad). The trail alignment would consist of 13 acres (5.3 hectares), some of which is owned by thefederal government.Dillingham Military ReservationDMR is owned by the federal government; however, the FTI site outside of DMR is owned by theState of Hawaii. DMR is comprised of 664 acres (269 hectares, which includes an airfield and associatedroadways, and earthen airplane hangars, approximately 354 acres suitable for maneuver and fieldtraining, 107 acres are developed within the cantonment area, and the remaining lands are located onsteep slopes of the Waianae Mountains (USAG-HI 2006). There are no live-fire activities, designatedimpact areas, or associated surface danger zones on DMR (USAG-HI 2006).The Dillingham Trail would connect the SBMP and DMR. The proposed alignment trail is owned byvarious entities and consists of approximately 36 acres (14.6 hectares). The alignment is generallyundeveloped land along agricultural roads and undeveloped lands (USGS 1999b, 1998c).February 2008 3–91 2/25th SBCT Final EIS
