Chapter 5 – Environmental Consequences5.5.2.3.2 Impacts from Range ConstructionNo ImpactsThe current number of Soldiers training at FTC and PCMS would remain the same. Therefore, noadditional ranges would be constructed at FTC or PCMS. Consequently, no soil erosion impactswould occur under the No Action Alternative.5.5.2.3.3 Impacts from Live-Fire TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsThe number of required live-fire user days per year at FTC would be near current levels.Implementation of the INRMP and ITAM program work plans and associated land managementpractices and soil erosion mitigation would continue. Soil erosion-related impacts caused by live-firetraining would be less than significant. No live-fire training would occur at PCMS, so no impactswould occur at PCMS.5.5.2.3.4 Impacts from Maneuver TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsManeuver training intensity and frequency at FTC and PCMS would remain at the levels associatedwith the current stationing. Implementation of the FTC and PCMS INRMP and ITAM program workplans and associated land management practices and soil erosion mitigation would continue. Soilerosion-related impacts caused by maneuver training would be less than significant.5.5.3 Water ResourcesPotential impacts to water resources identified based on regulatory standards and scientific judgmentinclude impacts on surface water quality, groundwater quality, increased flood potential, andgroundwater supply (Table 5-54).Table 5-54Summary of Potential Water Resource Impacts from Alternative DLocationHawaii Alaska ColoradoActivity Group SBMR DMRKTA/KLOA PTA FRA DTA FTC PCMSImpacts from CantonmentConstruction N/A N/A N/A N/A ☼ N/AImpacts from RangeConstruction☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ Impacts from Live-FireTraining☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ Impacts from ManeuverTraining☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ = Significant + = Beneficial Impact = Significant but mitigable to less than significant N/A = Not Applicable☼ = Less than Significant= No ImpactFebruary 2008 5-199 2/25th SBCT Final EIS
