DETAIL AIR CONFORMITY APPLICABILITY MODEL REPORT

1. General Information

- Action Location

Base: HOLLOMAN AFB

State: New Mexico

County(s): Otero; Chaves; Eddy

Regulatory Area(s): NOT IN A REGULATORY AREA

- Action Title: Special Use Airspace Optimization at Holloman Air Force Base

- Project Number/s (if applicable):

- Projected Action Start Date: 1 / 2019

- Action Purpose and Need:

The action is the proposed optimization of special use Airspace (SUA) to support the training of F-16 pilots

stationed at Holloman Air Force Base. The SUA in this region was created over 30 years ago and does not have

the necessary volume or capabilities to support the training needs for pilots of modern aircraft.

- Action Description:

Under the Proposed Action, the Air Force would modify the dimensions and altitudes of training airspace in the

vicinity of Holloman AFB. The proposed airspace modifications would result in appropriately sized and

configured training airspace needed to conduct IQT activities. The modified airspace would improve airspace

availability and scheduling flexibility for training activities.

Under Alternative 1, the Talon MOA would be reconfigured and expanded. Training operations, to include the

use of defensive countermeasures, would occur throughout the proposed airspace.

Under Alternative 2, the Cato and Smitty MOAs would be reconfigured and expanded, and Lobos MOA would

be established. Training operations, to include the use of defensive countermeasures, would occur throughout

the proposed airspace.

Alternative 3 would be a combination of Alternatives 1 and 2 with the following differences. The proposed

Talon MOA/ATCAA would be slightly smaller than what is proposed under Alternative 1 and the proposed

Lobos MOA would have a floor of 13,500 feet MSL. SUA no longer needed by the Air Force would be returned

to the National Airspace System including the lower portion of the existing Talon Low MOA (300 to 500 feet

AGL), the northern portion of the existing Cato and Smitty MOAs, Valentine MOA, Bronco 1 MOA, and

Bronco 2 MOA.

Total combined direct and indirect emissions associated with the action were estimated through ACAM on a

calendar-year basis for the “worst-case” and “steady state” (net gain/loss upon action fully implemented) emissions.

“Air Quality Indicators” were used to provide an indication of the significance of potential impacts to air quality.

These air quality indicators are EPA PSD thresholds that are applied out of context to their intended use. Therefore,

these indicators do not trigger a regulatory requirement; however, they provide a warning that the action is

potentially significant. It is important to note that these indicators only provide a clue to the potential impacts to air

quality.

An Air Quality Indicator value of 250 tons/yr is used based on EPA’s PSD threshold. Therefore, the worst-case year

emissions were compared against the Air Quality Indicator and are summarized below.

Analysis Summary:

2022 - (Steady State) Pollutant Action Emissions

(ton/yr)

AIR QUALITY INDICATOR

Threshold (ton/yr) Exceedance (Yes or No)


VOC 4.229 250 No

NOx 112.605 250 No

CO 47.209 250 No

SOx 5.003 250 No

PM 10 4.718 250 No

PM 2.5 3.908 250 No

CO2e *164,899 NA NA


None of estimated emissions associated with this action are above the air quality indicators, indicating no

significant impact to air quality; therefore, no further air assessment is needed.

Total combined direct and indirect emissions associated with the action were estimated through ACAM on a

calendar-year basis for the “worst-case” and “steady state” (net gain/loss upon action fully implemented) emissions.

“Air Quality Indicators” were used to provide an indication of the significance of potential impacts to air quality.

These air quality indicators are EPA PSD thresholds that are applied out of context to their intended use. Therefore,

these indicators do not trigger a regulatory requirement; however, they provide a warning that the action is

potentially significant. It is important to note that these indicators only provide a clue to the potential impacts to air

quality.

An Air Quality Indicator value of 250 tons/yr is used based on EPA’s PSD threshold. Therefore, the worst-case year

emissions were compared against the Air Quality Indicator and are summarized below.

Analysis Summary:

2022 - (Steady State) Pollutant Action Emissions

(ton/yr)

AIR QUALITY INDICATOR

Threshold (ton/yr) Exceedance (Yes or No)


VOC 3.892 250 No

NOx 103.640 250 No

CO 43.467 250 No

SOx 4.605 250 No

PM 10 4.344 250 No

PM 2.5 3.598 250 No

CO2e *162,379 NA NA


None of estimated emissions associated with this action are above the air quality indicators, indicating no

significant impact to air quality; therefore, no further air assessment is needed.
