While the MAJCOMs retain their proponent role, the NEPA center executes their environmental planning function and program management responsibilities. MAJCOMs are staffed with an EIAP coordinator who serves as a liaison to the NEPA center.\r\n<p>\r\nThe NEPA center executes centralized tracking and reporting of environmental assessments and environmental impact studies. It supports environmental baseline surveys for real property transactions. It also provides technical assistance and EIAP subject matter expertise to installations and MAJCOMs. The NEPA center provides consulting and technical support on planning requirements for EIAP, known as PREIAP. The center provides training on categorical exclusions applicability, in-house environmental assessment and environmental impact study preparation, and PREIAP facilitation skills.\r\n<p>\r\n<em>\r\nCurrent as of March 2013\r\n<\/em>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>\r\nI&#8217;m guessing &#8220;Mr. Allen Richmond&#8221; with no military rank is one\r\nof those &#8220;private industry contractors&#8221;.\r\nHis name is also on this other\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.investfairbanks.com\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/F-16_JBER_DEIS_2013-05-24.pdf\">\r\nEnvironmental Impact Study<\/a> that InvestFairbanks (Alaska)\r\nposted online.\r\n<p>\r\nToo bad Lowndes County or our Industrial Authority or Moody or AFCEC\r\ndidn&#8217;t see fit to post the Moody Housing EA online.\r\n<p>\r\n -jsq\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Air Force prepared an Environmental Assessment about the Moody Housing parcel on Val Del Road, but hasn&#8217;t made it public.
