Amendments of 1997 requires that the DOD manage their natural resources
while providing a sustained method for the multiple uses of those resources.
The Act also requires the development of the Integrated Natural Resources
Management Plan (INRMP) document. To guide natural resource
management efforts on‐installation, Travis AFB maintains an INRMP, most
recently updated in March 2016.
The Travis AFB INRMP describes the surrounding environment and provides
an assessment of the impacts to these resources as a result of
mission‐related activities. The INRMP directs management practices that
comply with federal, state, and local standards. Additionally, it is designed
to protect natural resources, mitigate negative impacts and enhance the
positive effects of Travis AFB’s mission on local and regional natural
resources. The primary natural resources goals involve implementation of
the INRMP, fish and wildlife management, wetland management,
threatened and endangered species management, grazing management,
and invasive species management.
Installation Development Plan
The Installation Development Plan (IDP), in accordance with Air Force
Instruction 32‐7062, was completed in 2016 and provides a developmental
path forward that incorporates current and future mission requirements,
development constraints and opportunities, and recommended courses of
action to achieve optimal use of lands, facilities, and resources in support of
installation performance. The IDP is intended to guide future development
decisions, including consolidations, new construction and realignments as
mission changes occur. Five goals were established in the Travis AFB IDP to
help guide development:
Achieve a cohesive, total force mobility and contingency projection
platform that accommodates all mission partners.
Enhance existing airfield infrastructure to meet current and future
mission requirements.

State of California
California Environmental Quality Act
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was enacted in 1970 to
protect the environment by requiring public agencies to analyze and disclose
the potential environmental impacts of proposed land use decisions. CEQA
is modeled after the federal National Environmental Policy Act.
The purpose of CEQA is to inform agency decision‐makers and the public
about the potential environmental effects of proposed activities. Using this
information, dec
