Environmental Committment

Mission Statement

Stratton ANGB is committed to implementing an Environmental Management System in accordance with Air Force Policy Directives 90-8 and 32-70.  The ANG establishes Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health Councils (ESOHC) to ensure leadership is involved and reviews the EMS.  ESOHCs use Cross Functional Teams to work issues, develop procedures, and provide recommendations to senior leadership.

The National Guard Bureau (NGB) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for construction, renovation, and demolition of facilities at the Air National Guard’s 109th Airlift Wing located at the Schenectady Air National Guard Base, Scotia, New York. The EA evaluated potential impacts to the human and natural environment as a result of the implementation of the proposed infrastructure improvement projects at the 109 AW. The environmental analysis for the Proposed Action was conducted by the NGB in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality guidelines pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended. The Final EA and signed FONSI are available for your review.
