3 How to Use This Document Our goal is to provide a reader-friendly document. The organization of this Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) is shown below. Table of Contents, List of Figures, List of Tables, List of Acronyms, and Executive Summary Chapter 1 Purpose and Need for Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex (JPARC) Proposed Actions: Explains the reasons for the proposed enhancements and modernizations and the screening criteria used to select proposals from the JPARC Master Plan for this EIS. Also described is the Environmental Impact Analysis Process, the consultation and public involvement processes, a table of where scoping comments are addressed, and a comparative analysis of the anticipated impacts of the proposed actions and alternatives. Chapter 2 Description of Proposed Action and Alternatives: An overview of the JPARC EIS definitive and programmatic proposed actions and alternatives. Chapter 3 Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences: Describes the environmental resources and areas that could potentially be affected by each proposed action, analysis methodology and potential impacts.
