Powder River Training Complex

The U.S. Air Force, in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration, is in the process of analyzing the potential environmental consequences of a proposal to expand the Powder River Complex to meet the airspace training needs of today's Air Force. Results of the analysis were released to the public as a Draft Environmental Impact Statement on Aug. 20, 2010 and formal public hearings took place from Sept. 14, 2010 through Oct. 26, 2010. The public comment period closed Jan. 20, 2011. We will continue to use this site to provide information to the public, and will update it as additional information becomes available.
