Notice of Availability; Draft Environmental Impact Statement for

the Construction and Operation of a Golf Course at Luke Air Force Base

A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) had been prepared by

Luke Air Force Base for the proposed construction and operation of a

golf course. The purpose of the DEIS is to comply with the National

Policy Act to analyze the potential environmental consequences of three

alternatives: (1) the no-action alternative, in which the land would

serve as a detention basin without a golf course; (2) construction of

an 18-hole golf course in a detention basin; and (3) construction of a

9-hole golf course in a detention basin.

The public is invited to attend a hearing on Thursday, May 16, 1996

beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center,

located at 100 South Old Litchfield Road. The purpose of this hearing

will be to inform the public of the DEIS findings and to solicit

comments on the document.

Peoria Public Library, 8401 W. Monroe, Peoria, Arizona
