Chapter 5 – Environmental Consequences5.5.14.2.3 Impacts from Live-fire TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsThe number of required live-fire <strong>us</strong>er days per year at FRA and DTA would occur near current levelsand would not change the amount of energy <strong>us</strong>e (fuels). Consequently, live-fire training is notexpected to ca<strong>us</strong>e any changes to energy impacts, which would be less than significant overall.5.5.14.2.4 Impacts from Maneuver TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsManeuver training would continue at all at both FRA and DTA <strong>us</strong>ing existing equipment and trainingmethods. Impacts to energy <strong>us</strong>e would be similar to those that occur currently. Therefore, impacts toenergy <strong>us</strong>e would be less than significant.5.5.14.3 Colorado5.5.14.3.1 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 ho<strong>us</strong>ed off post. This construction would result in a slightincrease in energy demand and costs would occur at FTC beca<strong>us</strong>e of the additional personnel thatwould reside at FTC. The number of additional personnel would represent slight increase compared tothe existing on-post population. In addition, FTC <strong>us</strong>es renewable energy sources and is purchasingelectrical power generated from renewable sources. Consequently, the impacts to energy demand areexpected to be less than significant.5.5.14.3.2 Impacts from Range ConstructionNo ImpactsNo range construction is proposed at this time. However, some construction may occur on an asneeded basis in the future. Furthermore, no additional Soldiers would be stationed at the base.Therefore, no impacts to energy demand would be anticipated from range construction.5.5.14.3.3 Impacts from Live-fire TrainingLess Than Significant ImpactsThe number of required live-fire <strong>us</strong>er days per year at FTC would occur near current levels and wouldnot change the amount of energy <strong>us</strong>e (fuels). Consequently, live-fire training is not expected to ca<strong>us</strong>eany changes to energy impacts, which would be less than significant overall. No live-fire trainingoccurs at PCMS. Therefore, no energy demand would occur at PCMS for live-fire training.February 2008 5-241 2/25th <strong>SBCT</strong> <strong>Final</strong> <strong>EIS</strong>
