Therefore, noadditional ranges would be constructed at FTC or PCMS. Consequently, no impacts to waterresources would occur.5.5.3.3.3 Impacts from Live-Fire TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsThe number of required live-fire user days per year at FTC would be near current levels. waterresource mitigation would continue. Impacts to water resources caused by live-fire training would beless than significant.
