Book excerpt: This EA has been developed for the Replace Family Housing Phase V (Jupiter) design and construction project at Malmstrom AFB. The current family housing situation at Malmstrom AFB is very poor. Of the 1,406 housing units on base, only 377 are deemed adequate according to current AF Housing Guidance (USAF 1995a, 2003). Many of the existing homes have deterioirated and the following problems have been reported: electrical wiring and fixtures that do not meet current building codes, plumbing fixtures that have corroded, outdated flooring, asbestos is present in flooring and countertops, and lead-based paint has been detected on several interior and exterior surfaces. The AF proposes to build new housing units within the existing housing area to remedy these needs.
