Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality regulations for implementing procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 1500-1508), Department of Defense Directive 6050.1 and Air Force Regulation 32 CFR Part 989, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) with support from the Air Force has conducted an Environmental Assessment (EA) of probable consequences for improvement to intersection State Road (SR) 87 and Bob Tolbert Road and construction of a stormwater detention pond on Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), Florida. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION AND ALTERNATIVES Proposed Action: The FDOT is proposing to implement a roadway improvement project along SR 87 between its intersection with SR 30 and SR 10; a 19.9 mile corridor. This improvement plan would be completed in several phases over a seven-year period and as funding becomes available. At this time Eglin AFB property would be impacted by construction activities associated with improving the intersection at SR 87 and Bob Tolbert Road as well as installing a stormwater detention pond to treat and attenuate roadway-derived runoff. This action would involve approximately 10 acres of Eglin AFB property. By implementing this project, the SR 87 improvement plan would improve travel service, enhance coastal evacuation operations, reduce or eliminate unsafe roadway characteristics and provide effective and efficient service to an area that is expected to continue to grow in the future. (Section 2.1, pages 3-5 and Section 3.1, pages 7-8) Roadways would be modified from a two-lane to a four-lane configuration and would include construction of bicycle lanes, pedestrian sidewalks and raised medians. Existing bridges at East Bay River, Dean Creek and Yell ow River would be upgraded. As part of the improvement project, the stormwater management system for the SR 87 corridor would be updated.
