Welcome
Welcome to the official website for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Master Plan and Installation Development at Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada. The United States (US) Air Force made this website to:
- Share information with the public about the Proposed Action and Alternatives, and
- Notify the public about the Proposed Action.
The EIS will analyze potential environmental impacts associated with the development of the east side of the Installation to address current operational and land use capacity constraints and to ensure that there is adequate facility and infrastructure available to accommodate future mission growth.
Purpose of the Proposed Action
- The purpose of the Proposed Action is to optimize Nellis AFB’s current operational capabilities and capacity for future warfighting training and testing.
Need for the Proposed Action
The Proposed Action is needed because:
- The current Nellis AFB and US Air Force Warfare Center mission sets are outpacing the ability to expand resources and capacity.
- The Air Force anticipates that facility requirements are likely to increase over time through normal attrition and the arrival of new missions and that the number of active duty and civilian personnel would also increase.
- The existing infrastructure does not meet current and future mission needs; mission capability at Nellis AFB is nearing physical capacity, and additional flightline support facilities and infrastructure are needed to meet anticipated future growth.
- To relieve stress on facility and infrastructure constraints on the west side of the Installation. Flying units are currently sharing hangar space, which is not conducive to future mission growth. Presently, the Installation’s infrastructure and utilities are a limitation to operational expansion and growth; utilities and the west-side ramp are reaching full operational capacity and must be expanded to accommodate future operations. Without expansion, the existing facilities and infrastructure at Nellis AFB would be insufficient to meet Air Force and Department of Defense current and future mission requirements.
