Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program March ARB/IPA Land Use Compatibility Plan i ESA Airports / 211744 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2014 CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction The Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) circulated the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed March Air Reserve Base / Inland Port Airport’s Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (March ARB/IPA ALUCP) for public and agency review and comment between August 22, 2014 and October 6, 2014. At the end of the 45-day public comment period, a total of 5 written letters and one set of oral comments were received addressing the content and analysis in the Draft EIR. This document is the Final EIR for the proposed project (i.e., the March ARB/IPA ALUCP) and has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This Final EIR, together with the Draft EIR (including its appendices), constitutes the EIR for the proposed March ARB/IPA ALUCP. 1.2 Organization of Final EIR This Final EIR is organized as follows: Chapter 1 – Introduction: This chapter summarizes the proposed project, describes the content and format of the Final EIR, summarizes the public participation and review process, and describes the CEQA certification and project approval process. Chapter 2 – Summary of Text Changes to the Draft EIR: This chapter summarizes revisions to the Draft EIR. These revisions are in response to comments made on the Draft EIR and/or staff-initiated text changes. No comments requiring substantive changes to the Draft EIR were received, and subsequently recirculation of the document is unneeded. Chapter 3 – Responses to Comments: This chapter includes a list of the comment letters received followed by the comment letters and responses to the comments contained in each letter. The responses to comments are numbered consistent with the comment number in each letter. For example, the response to the first comment in Comment Letter A is Response to Comment A-1. March ARB/IPA Land Use Compatibility Plan 1-1 ESA Airports / 211744 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2014 March ARB/IPA Land Use Compatibility Plan Appendix A - Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program: This appendix contains the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the timing, responsibility and monitoring of adopted mitigation measures. 1.3 Summary of Project and Project Objectives 1.1.1.31. 333.1.1.1.1 Summary of Project The proposed project is the adoption of the proposed ALUCP for March ARB/IPA. No airport-specific ALUCP has ever been adopted by the ALUC for March ARB/IPA. The Riverside County Airport Land Use Plan was adopted in 1984; and, once State statutes were amended to apply compatibility requirements to the environs of military airports, the ALUC adopted a compatibility map in 1986 based on the 1984 Plan. The combined document (i.e., the 1984 Plan and 1986 maps) is out of date in several aspects. Among the most significant are the use of outdated composite zone boundaries; the use of compatibility standards that do not reflect guidance as set forth in the 2002 and 2011 editions of the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook (published by the California Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics); and policies that do not recognize or consider the specific manner or condition under which the current fleet of military and civilian aircraft operate. 1 In 2004, the March Joint Powers Authority (MJPA)—the entity responsible for the civilian facilities and aircraft activity at March ARB/IPA—applied for and received a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense, Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) to prepare a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) for March ARB/IPA and its environs. 2 Preparation of airport land use compatibility planning principles and policies was the central component of the JLUS. After extensive outreach and coordination among all involved entities, MJPA unanimously accepted the JLUS in December 2010 with the recommendation that it be forwarded to its member agencies and the ALUC for implementation. Upon receipt of the JLUS and in accordance with the State Aeronautics Act, the ALUC was guided by the Handbook in preparing the proposed ALUCP. 3 Further, as required by Public Utilities Code section 21675(b), the compatibility criteria set forth in the proposed ALUCP are consistent with the safety and noise standards in the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study for March Air Reserve Base (AICUZ Study ; dated August 1 Civilian aircraft did not operate at March Air Force Base when the previous zone boundaries were adopted. 2 MJPA is comprised of representatives from the County of Riverside and cities of Moreno Valley, Perris, and Riverside. 3 Following completion of the proposed ALUCP, an updated iteration of the Handbook was issued in October 2011. ALUC staff has determined that the primary compatibility principles articulated in the 2011 edition of the Handbook are accounted for in the proposed ALUCP, and has not found any reason to revise the compatibility principles contained in the JLUS and incorporated into the proposed ALUCP. March ARB/IPA Land Use Compatibility Plan ESA Airports / 211744 1-2 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2014 1. Introduction 2005) prepared by the U.S. Department of the Air Force. 4 (Notably, the AICUZ is not an enforceable plan itself; rather, the AICUZ contains the U.S. Department of the Air Force’s recommendations to local agencies with land use authority.) 111.1...3333.2.2.2.2 Project Objectives Pursuant to state law, the purpose of the proposed ALUCP is to promote compatibility between March ARB/IPA and future land uses within its Airport Influence Area (AIA) so as to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare, and to promote the orderly development of the aeronautical facility. The following objectives have been identified to achieve this purpose: 1. Protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare by limiting the number of people exposed to excessive aircraft noise levels and safety risks; 2. Ensure that the ALUCP for March ARB/IPA reflects current land use compatibility planning guidelines as reflected in the 2011 edition of Caltrans’ Handbook and the 2005 AICUZ for March ARB; 3. Avoid the creation of hazards to aircraft in flight as defined by standards set forth in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77: Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace and U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS); and 4. Consider the development goals of the local land use jurisdictions, as envisioned in applicable land use plans and regulations, so as to create a balanced, compatible environment that meets the needs of March ARB/IPA and the affected jurisdictions. 1.4 Public Participation and Environmental Review Process The following lists the actions that took place during the preparation, distribution and review of the Draft EIR. • A Notice of Preparation (NOP) for preparation of the Draft EIR was filed with the State Clearinghouse (SCH # 2013071042) on July 12, 2013. The 30-day comment period for the NOP ended August 12, 2013. • The NOP was distributed to various public agencies, and interested groups, organizations and individuals, including hundreds of potentially affected property owners, and was made available, along with the Initial Study, for review at the office of the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission, Riverside County Administrative Center, 4080 Lemon Street, 14 th Floor, Riverside, California, and online at www.rcaluc.org . 4 As recognized by Muzzy Ranch Co. v. Solano County Airport Land Use Commission (2008) 164 Cal.App.4th 1, 11, the ALUC is authorized to adopt compatibility criteria that are more restrictive than those contained in the AICUZ . Here, the proposed ALUCP does exceed the standards provided in the AICUZ for March ARB/IPA in some respects. March ARB/IPA Land Use Compatibility Plan ESA Airports / 211744 1-3 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2014 March ARB/IPA Land Use Compatibility Plan • The Draft EIR was filed with the State Clearinghouse on August 21, 2014. The 45-day comment period ended October 6, 2014. • A Notice of Availability of the Draft EIR was provided to all persons commenting on the Notice of Preparation/Initial Study, various public agencies, and hundreds of potentially affected property owners. Copies of the Draft Environmental Impact Report were provided to each land use jurisdiction within the expanded Airport Influence Area and were made available for review at ALUC’s office, at public libraries in the cities of Moreno Valley and Perris, Riverside’s Main Library, the office of the March Joint Powers Authority, and the Planning Departments of the affected cities.

Phone: 909‐607‐6796 Email: [email protected] January 14, 2016 [MARCH AIR RESERVE BASE ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS] The Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College was commissioned by Riverside County Economic Development Agency to conduct a study that provides estimates of the impact of March Air Reserve Base (March ARB) on Riverside and San Bernardino counties along with selected cities within Riverside County using data from Fiscal Year 2014. March ARB is located in Riverside County between the cities of Riverside and Moreno Valley. Several military units co‐exist onsite and in the adjacent area. This study aggregates the impact of all units on or adjacent to March ARB that would likely leave the area if the base were to close. March ARB was one of only 32 Air Service training camps established after the United States’ entry into World War I. It was originally established as Alessandro Flying Training Field in February 1918, making it one of the oldest airfields operated by the United States military. It was renamed March Field for 2nd Lieutenant Peyton C. March, Jr., who was killed in an air crash in Texas only fifteen days after being commissioned.

BRAC 2005 was the fifth round of base closures and realignments undertaken by DOD since 1988, and it was the biggest, most complex BRAC round ever. GAO-12-709R Military Base Realignments and Closures To implement this round, DOD executed hundreds of BRAC actions involving over 800 defense locations and the planned relocation of over 125,000 personnel. By law, BRAC 2005 recommendations were to be implemented by September 15, 2011.1 At the outset of BRAC 2005, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) indicated that DOD viewed BRAC 2005 as a unique opportunity to reshape its installations and realign its forces to meet defense needs for the next 20 years.

    FOREWARD Your Air Force Reserve is a combat- ready force, composed of more than 70,000 proud reservists, stationed locally throughout the United States, serving globally for every Combatant Command around the world. We provide our Nation with operational capability, strategic depth and surge capacity whenever America needs us. We are an integrated Total Force partner in every Air Force core mission: Air and Space Superiority, Global Strike, Rapid Global Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, James F. Jackson, and Reconnaissance, and Command Lt Gen, USAF and Control. In an increasingly limited fiscal environment, reservists remain efficient and cost-effective solutions to our nation’s challenges. The majority of our Citizen Airmen serve part time, making us a highly efficient force, averaging about a third of the cost of active duty Airmen. Perhaps our greatest strength is we retain ‘Airmen for life,’ preserving the considerable investments and expertise of our Airmen beyond their Cameron B. Kirksey, active duty service. In times of crisis, we Command CMSgt can call upon our strategic depth of an additional 785,000 Airmen from the Individual Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, Retired Reserve and Retired Active Duty. To meet future challenges, the Air Force Reserve works as a member of the “Total Force”, alongside active duty and Air National Guardsmen. This strong, three-component team is ready for combat or humanitarian relief operations worldwide. Since 2012, the Air Force Reserve can also be mobilized to respond to domestic requirements here at home. 01 Dual-use capabilities such as airlift, aeromedical evacuation and personnel recovery are equally valuable, both in-theater and for homeland support.

  • Vol. 1 March Air Reserve Base
    March Air Reserve Base / Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Adopted by Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission November 13, 2014 Prepared by Santa Rosa, California MARCH AIR RESERVE BASE / INLAND PORT AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN Adopted November 13, 2014 OVERVIEW This March Air Reserve Base / Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (March ARB/IPA ALUCP) was prepared for and adopted by the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission (RCALUC). In accordance with provisions of the California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et seq.), the RCALUC has been assigned the lead responsibility for airport land use compatibility planning around each of the public-use and military airports in Riverside County, including the preparation of an ALUCP for each airport. Beginning in 2004, the RCALUC began adopting new versions of the ALUCPs for most of these airports. Each of these individual ALUCPs is contained within a single, countywide document entitled Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. The ALUCP for each airport consists of the policies in Chapter 2 of that document that are applicable to all of the airports in the county together with airport-specific policies and maps in Chapter 3. This material plus an introductory chapter (Chapter 1) and a set of ap- pendices comprise Volume I. Background data regarding each airport and its environs is included in Volumes 2 and 3. This March ARB/IPA ALUCP maintains this established format. Thus, only the policies and maps spe- cific to March ARB/IPA for insertion into Chapter 3 and the background data to be added to Volume 2 are presented here.
