Furthermore, no additional Soldiers would bestationed at the base. Therefore, current levels of impacts to air quality, which are less thansignificant, would continue to occur.5.5.11.1.2 Impacts from Range ConstructionLess Than Significant ImpactsConstruction contractors would comply with the provisions of Hawaii Administrative Rules, Sec. 11-60.1-33 on Fugitive D<strong>us</strong>t as part of the requirements of construction contracts. Consequently,construction-related emissions would have a less than significant impaction on air quality. Impactfrom range construction at PTA also would be less than significant.Nitrogen oxide emissions are of concern primarily as an ozone precursor. Even though constructionemissions would increase, annual emissions of ozone precursors from construction activities would betoo small to have a measurable effect on ozone levels. Consequently, impacts would be less thansignificant.5.5.11.1.3 Impacts from Live-Fire TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsLive-fire training would continue across the training areas at levels similar to levels disc<strong>us</strong>sed in the2004 Transformation <strong>EIS</strong>. Emissions from ordnance, military vehicles, and wildfires would continueat current levels, which result in less than significant impacts. Consequently, impacts under thisalternative are expected to continue to be less than significant.February 2008 5-230 2/25th <strong>SBCT</strong> <strong>Final</strong> <strong>EIS</strong>
