Chapter 5 – Environmental Consequences5.5.10.2.4 Impacts from Maneuver TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsImpacts from the No Action alternative would be less than significant for wetlands, general wildlifeand habitats, noxious weeds, and threatened and endangered species.5.5.10.3 Colorado5.5.10.3.1 Impacts from Cantonment ConstructionLess Than Significant ImpactsThe current number of Soldiers stationed and training at FTC and PCMS would remain the same.However, some additional cantonment facilities would be constructed to meet the needs of theunaccompanied Soldiers that are currently housed off post. Because this construction is expected tooccur in previously disturbed areas, Impacts to noxious weeds would be less than significant. Noimpacts would occur to wetlands, vegetation, wildlife and habitats, or threatened and endangeredspecies from cantonment construction.5.5.10.3.2 Impacts from Range ConstructionNo ImpactsNo change in the Soldier population would occur. No range construction projects are currentlyplanned. Consequently, no impacts are expected to wetlands, vegetation, noxious weeds, generalwildlife and habitats, or threatened and endangered species.5.5.10.3.3 Impacts from Live-Fire TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsThe number of required live-fire user days per year at FRA would be near current levels underAlternative D. Consequently, conditions would remain the same as they currently are and impacts towetlands, vegetation, general wildlife and habitats, noxious weeds, and threatened and endangeredspecies would be less than significant.5.5.10.3.4 Impacts from Maneuver TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsManeuver training would continue to occur as it currently does. Consequently, impacts would be lessthan significant for wetlands, general wildlife and habitats, noxious weeds, and threatened andendangered species.5.5.11 Air QualityTable 5-62 lists the types of impacts associated with air quality that would occur under Alternative D.Under the No Action Alternative, the 2/25 th SBCT would not be stationed at any of the alternativelocations, and therefore no SBCT-specific impacts to air quality would occur. Impacts are describedbelow for each location.February 2008 5-229 2/25th SBCT Final EIS
