Chapter 5 – Environmental Consequencessediment disturbance from high-explosive mortar or artillery munitions. Increased use of ERF froman expanded training window or the stationing of 2/25 th SBCT could result in additional impacts tosoil erosion, water resources, wildfire management, cultural resources, wetlands, vegetation,threatened and endangered species, wildlife and habitats, noise, and airspace. Impacts are expected tobe less than significant. Potential impacts from 2/25 th SBCT training at ERF would be analyzedseparately in the ERF EIS.Stationing the 2/25 th SBCT at FRA would require the 4/25 th IBCT currently stationed there to relocateto SBMR. The impacts associated with that relocation would be similar to existing conditions inHawaii. Potential impacts of the relocation are presented in the table below, and in section 5.3.16.Table 5-19Summary of Environmental Consequences from Alternative BVECFortRichardsonLocationDonnellyTraining AreaRelocating the4/25 th to SBMRSoil Erosion Water Resources ☼ ☼ Wildfire Management Cultural Resources Land Use and Recreation ☼ ☼ ☼Traffic and Transportation ☼ ☼ ☼Socioeconomics ☼ ☼ ☼Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste ☼Wetlands Vegetation ☼Noxious Weeds ☼ ☼ Threatened and Endangered Species ☼ ☼ Wildlife and Habitats ☼ ☼ ☼Air Quality ☼ ☼ Noise ☼ ☼ Airspace Energy Demand and Generation ☼ ☼ ☼Facilities ☼ ☼ ☼Subsistence ☼ ☼ NA = Significant + = Beneficial Impact = Significant but mitigable to less than significant N/A = Not Applicable☼ = Less than Significant= No Impact5.3.2 Geology, Soils, and SeismicityTable 5-20 summarizes the potential soil erosion and other geologic, soils, and seismic-relatedimpacts that would occur for each group of project activities.
