NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
for the Wildland Fire Management Plan at
Naval Air Station FALLON
Churchill COUNTY, Nevada
The United States Department of the Navy
(Navy) has released a Final Environmental
Assessment (EA) and Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) for the
proposed implementation of a Wildland Fire
Management Plan (WFMP) at Naval Air
Station Fallon (including the Fallon Range
Training Complex) in Churchill County,
Nevada. The goals of the proposed WFMP
are to mitigate wildland fire hazards on NAS
Fallon assets and resources; enhance habitat
through preventative fuels treatments and
post-fire remediation; collect and analyze fire
data and implement adaptive management;
and build and strengthen interagency
cooperation. The WFMP also identifies
measures to minimize and address militarycaused
fires. Based on analysis presented
in the EA, which has been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act, the Navy
finds that the implementation of the Proposed
Action will not significantly impact the quality
of the human environment. Therefore, an
environmental impact statement is not
required. The EA prepared by the Navy is on
file and interested parties may obtain a copy
by downloading the EA from the Navy website
at https://cnrsw.cnic.navy.mil/Operationsand-
Management/Environmental-Support/

A hard copy of the Final EA and FONSI is
available at the Churchill County Library, in
Fallon, Nevada. Electronic copies of this EA
and FONSI may also be obtained by written
