Under the No Action alternative, there would be no direct effects to air quality. If security and/or caretaker personnel are removed from the ranch, there may be a long-term beneficial effect to local air quality as a result of reduced vehicle emissions and vehicle-generated dust at the ranch. However, these long-term effects are not anticipated to provide any measureable benefits.

Given that there are no direct effects and the long-term effects are anticipated to be below the level of detection, there would be no cumulative effects to airshed or regional air quality as a result of the No Action alternative.
