Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) announces the availability of a Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential effects to the human and natural environment associated with implementing 10 projects identified in the five-year Installation Development Plan (IDP) Update at JBAB. The EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 40 C.F.R. 1500-1508, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations implementing NEPA; and the Air Force’s Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) as codified in 32 CFR Part 989.
