Chapter 5 – Environmental Consequences5.5.4.3.2 Impacts from Range ConstructionNo ImpactsThe current number of Soldiers stationed and training at FTC and PCMS would remain the same.Therefore, no additional range facilities would be constructed. Consequently, there would be noimpacts to wildfire risk or wildfire management.5.5.4.3.3 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 Prescribed Burn Plan and other wildfire management programs wouldcontinue. Therefore, no additional wildfire risk is expected, and the overall impacts to firemanagement would be less than significant. No live-fire training occurs at PCMS, so no impactswould occur at PCMS.5.5.4.3.4 Impacts from Maneuver TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsManeuver training intensity and frequency at FTC and PCMS would remain at levels seen today.Implementation of the Prescribed Burn Plan and other wildfire management programs wouldcontinue. Therefore, no additional wildfire risk is expected, and the overall impacts to firemanagement would be less than significant.5.5.5 Cultural ResourcesTable 5-56 summarizes the types of impacts to cultural resources that would occur under AlternativeD. Impacts would result from ongoing training activities and infrastructure projects. Existing brigadesat each in Alaska and Colorado would remain in their current configuration at their current trooplevels. The 2/25 th ID (L) would be assumed to be in Hawaii with the other units of USAG-HI underthis alternative. Only at FTC would there be any cantonment construction to accommodate currenttroop levels and that construction would be limited. There would also be no need for new rangeconstruction, although existing projects for range improvements would continue. Ongoing trainingactivities would include continued off-road vehicle use, which would result in impacts on culturalresources in the training areas caused by ground troop activities, off-road vehicle movement, andground disturbance.5.5.5.1 Hawaii5.5.5.1.1 Impacts from cantonment constructionNo ImpactsSome non-Stryker construction such as barracks renovations and maintenance activities would occuras planned. No impacts to cultural resources would be anticipated from cantonment construction.No new construction footprints would be disturbed and no increased cultural resources impacts areexpected.February 2008 5-206 2/25th SBCT Final EIS
