The United States Air Force proposes to deploy a Second KC-135R Air Refueling Squadron consisting of 14 additional tanker aircraft, at Malmstrom AFB, Montana. The aircraft will arrive in late 1991 and will bring the total number of assigned KC-135R aircraft to 30. Except for normal localized traffic patterns, the aircraft will fly more than 3,000 feet above ground, using existing established and approved airways and routes. Because no other base in the region can support the needed refueling mission, the no action alternative was the only alternative action considered. The primary environmental concern associated with the proposed action is the effect of additional vehicular traffic. Mitigation measures can be taken to reduce the additional traffic during peak load periods. (jes)
