DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Army
Notice of Availability of a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS) for Base Closure and
Realignment (BRAC) Actions at Fort
Belvoir, VA
AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA).
SUMMARY: The Department of the Army
announces the availability of a DEIS
which evaluates the potential
environmental impacts associated with
realignment actions directed by the Base
Closure and Realignment (BRAC)
Commission at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
DATES: The public comment period for
the DEIS will end 60 days after
publication of this NOA in the Federal
Register by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.
ADDRESSES: Please send written
comments on the DEIS to ATTN: EIS
Comments, Fort Belvoir Directorate of
Public Works, 9430 Jackson Loop, Suite
100, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, 22060–5116.
E-mail comments may be sent to
environmental@belvoir.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Don Carr, Fort Belvoir Public Affairs
Office, at (703) 805–2583, during normal
business hours Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject of the DEIS and the Proposed
Action are the construction and
renovation activities at Fort Belvoir
associated with the BRAC-directed
realignment of Fort Belvoir. The DEIS
also updates the land use plan portion
of the installation’s Real Property
Master Plan due to the substantial
changes at the installation due to the
proposed realignment.
To implement the BRAC
recommendations, Fort Belvoir will be
receiving personnel, equipment, and
missions from various closure and
realignment actions within the
Department of Defense. To implement
the BRAC Commission
recommendations, the Army will
provide the necessary facilities,
buildings, and infrastructure to
accommodate personnel being realigned
from the Washington Headquarters
Services (WHS); National Geospatial-
Intelligence Agency (NGA); various
Army entities moving from leased space
in the National Capital Region (NCR);
U.S. Army Medical Command
(MEDCOM); Program Executive Office,
Enterprise Information System (PEO
EIS); and Missile Defense Agency
Headquarters Command Center (MDA
PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
HQCC). Details of the BRAC
Commission’s recommendations can be
found at http://www.brac.gov.
Alternatives in the DEIS include four
alternative land use plans that contain
alternative means of accommodating the
units, agencies and activities being
realigned to Fort Belvoir. These
alternatives include: (1) Town Center
Alternative, (2) City Center Alternative,
(3) Satellite Campuses Alternative, and
(4) Preferred Alternative. The Preferred
Alternative contains various elements of
the other land use alternatives, and
includes construction, renovation, and
operation of proposed facilities to
accommodate incoming military
missions as mandated by the 2005
BRAC Commission’s recommendations
for Fort Belvoir. The No Action
Alternative is also addressed in the
DEIS.
The DEIS analyses indicate that
implementation of the preferred
alternative will have short and long-
term, significant adverse impacts on the
transportation network at Fort Belvoir
and its surrounding area, moderate to
significant impacts on biological
resources, and long-term minor adverse
and beneficial impacts on
socioeconomic resources. Minor short
and long-term adverse impacts on all
other resources at the installation would
potentially occur from implementation
of the preferred alternative. The no
action alternative provides the baseline
conditions for comparison to the
preferred alternative.
The Army invites the general public,
local governments, other Federal
agencies, and state agencies to submit
written comments or suggestions
concerning the alternatives and analyses
addressed in the DEIS. The public and
government agencies are invited to
participate in a public meeting where
oral and written comments and
suggestions will be received. The date,
time, and place of the public meeting
will be announced through the local
media.

be viewed or downloaded from the
