Chapter 5 – Environmental Consequences5.5.7.1.3 Impacts from Live-Fire TrainingNo ImpactsLive fire range use would not affect traffic or transportation resources away from the training areas.Consequently, impacts to traffic and transportation resources caused by live-fire training would not beexpected.5.5.7.1.4 Impacts from Maneuver TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsUnder No Action, there would continue to be traffic impacts on public roadways associated withcurrent force activities. This would include convoy traffic on public roads that may periodically causetraffic congestion. Traffic conditions are currently operating at acceptable levels (LOS C). However,during certain periods, traffic congestion occurs on roads to WAAF and SBMR. Under thisalternative, the traffic volumes along the public roadways would remain at current levels, and theLOS would not change.Military vehicles traveling between the Army installations would continue to cross public roadways.Convoy frequency would not increase compared to current conditions. Because some of the trafficwould affect regional roadways that are currently operating at acceptable levels, impacts to traffic onpublic roadways are expected to be less than significant.5.5.7.2 Alaska5.5.7.2.1 Impacts from Cantonment ConstructionNo ImpactsThe current number of Soldiers stationed at FRA would remain the same. Therefore, no additionalcantonment facilities would be constructed. Consequently, there would be no impacts to traffic ortransportation resources.5.5.7.2.2 Impacts from Range ConstructionNo ImpactsThe current number of Soldiers training at FRA and DTA would remain the same and no additionalranges would be constructed. Consequently, there would be no new impacts to traffic ortransportation resources.5.5.7.2.3 Impacts from Live-Fire TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsThe number of required live-fire user days per year at FRA would continue at current levels. Thus,impacts to transportation resources and traffic caused by live-fire training would remain at less thansignificant levels.February 2008 5-214 2/25th SBCT Final EIS
