SUMMARY: The Department of the Army
(DA) and National Guard Bureau have
proposed to transform the Pennsylvania
Army National Guard (PAARNG) 56th
Brigade into a Stryker Brigade Combat
Team (SBCT). This Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) discusses indepth three alternatives: The Preferred
Alternative, the Train Using Existing
Army Facilities Alternative, and the NoAction Alternative, Under the Preferred
Alternative, the PAARNG proposes
construction of new training and
support facilities at the National Guard
Training Center—Fort Indiantown Gap
(NGTC–FTIG); at Fort Pickett, VA; and
at local PAARNG facilities across the
State of Pennsylvania, as well as
conducting Annual Training (AT) at
Fort A.P. Hill, VA, in order to
accomplish requisite training. Under the
Train Using Existing Army Facilities
Alternative, no construction at NGTC–
FTIG, Pennsylvania or Fort Pickett, VA
would occur; the statewide facilities
improvements would occur. Required
SBCT Inactive Duty Training (IDT) and
AT would be conducted at select
Department of the Air Force.

Significant impacts would be
anticipated from both Action
alternatives, although the Preferred
Alternative would result in greater
impacts. The Train at Existing Army
Facilities Alternative would result in
fewer impacts, but would not achieve
the purpose of and need for the
Proposed Action as effectively and
efficiently as the Preferred Alternative.
Studies concluded that implementation
of the Preferred Alternative would result
in some significant but unmitigable
impacts to air quality, geology and soils,
and biological resources, and would
result in significant but mitigable
impacts to land use, water resources,
and cultural resources. The Preferred
Alternative would also result in
beneficial impacts to socioeconomics
and to minority and low-income
populations. The Train Using Existing
Army Facilities Alternative would result
in significant unmitigable impacts to air
quality (i.e., via fugitive dust during
training episodes), and would negate the
beneficial socioeconomic impacts of the
Preferred Alternative in the vicinities of
NGTC–FTIG and Fort Pickett; the
statewide (Pennsylvania) socioeconomic
benefits would still occur. The NoAction Alternative would result in no
significant impacts, but would not

ACTION: Notice of intent.
wwhite on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps), Jacksonville District,
intends to prepare an integrated Project
Implementation Report/Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (PIR/
DEIS) for the Everglades National Park
(ENP) Seepage Management Project. The
study is a cooperative effort between the
Corps and the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD), which
is also a cooperating agency for this
DEIS. The project seeks to reduce
eastward water seepage from the
Everglades system for the benefit of
wetland communities within ENP. The
ENP Seepage Management Project is
comprised of three components that
were recommended as a part of the
Central and Southern Florida (C&SF)
Project Comprehensive Review Study
Feasibility Report and Integrated
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
dated April 1999 (Restudy), and is part
of the Comprehensive Everglades
Restoration Plan (CERP). The project
includes an aboveground recharge area,
a wetland buffer area, relocation and
enhancement of levee L–31N, a
sheetflow delivery system, and other
features located adjacent to ENP in
Miami-Dade County.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
a. Authorization: The authority for
this project is contained within the
Water Resources Development Act
(WRDA) 2000.
b. Study Area: The study area is along
a portion of the L–30 and L–31N canals
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:03 Feb 23, 2006
Jkt 208001
located north of structure G–211, south
of structure S–335, and west of structure
S–380 in Miami-Dade County.
c. Project Scope: The scope includes
conducting a watershed assessment of
the study area and developing
alternative plans for reducing seepage
from ENP. The assessment will refine
project components developed in the
Restudy. The evaluation of the
alternatives and selection of a
recommended plan will be documented
in the PIR/EIS. The alternative plans
will be reviewed under provisions of
appropriate laws and regulations,
including the Endangered Species Act,
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act,
Clean Water Act, and Farmland
Protection Policy Act.
d. Preliminary Alternatives: The ENP
Seepage Management Project includes
three components of the C&SF Restudy:
(1) S–356 Structures, (2) L–31N
Improvements for Seepage Management,
and (3) Bird Drive Recharge Area. The
project described in the Restudy
includes an aboveground recharge area,
a wetland buffer area, relocation and
enhancement of levee-canal L–31N, a
sheetflow delivery system, and other
features located adjacent to ENP in
Miami-Dade County. Further
formulation will determine the
locations, sizes, configurations, and
operations of facilities.
e. Issues: The EIS will address the
following issues: the relation between
this project and related projects
including Modified Water Deliveries to
ENP; impacts to Miami-Dade West
Wellfield and Biscayne Bay, impacts to
aquatic and wetland habitats; water
flows; hazardous and toxic waste; water
quality; flood protection; the impacts of
land acquisition on the tax base;
aesthetics and recreation; fish and
wildlife resources, including protected
species; cultural resources; and other
impacts identified through scoping,
public involvement and interagency
coordination.
f. Scoping: A scoping letter and
multiple public workshops will be used
to invite comments on alternatives and
issues from Federal, State, and local
agencies, affected Indian tribes, and
other interested private organizations
and individuals. Additionally, a scoping
meeting will be held on March 14, 2006
in Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Auditorium,
9300 NW., 41st Street, Miami, FL 33178.
Additional public meetings are
anticipated during the study. The exact
location, dates, and times of future
meetings will be announced in public
notices and local newspapers.

PIR, including a DEIS, is currently
