These advances in technology are the
driving factor for this expansion.
Alternative I was chosen because it
best meets the Army’s need for
additional training land. There are
impacts to many natural resources
expected as part of the proposed action.
Mitigation has been proposed to offset
the impacts identified in the SFEIS.
Even taking into account this mitigation,
however, there will still be significant
impacts to threatened and endangered
species, loss of vegetation cover, loss
and disruption of soil surfaces, and loss
of wilderness characteristics to adjacent
wideness areas.
The decision also restates the army’s
continuing commitment to
environmental stewardship by
implementing mitigation and
monitoring measurers to offset potential
reverse environmental impacts
associated with the preferred
alternative, as identified in the SFEIS
and the ROD.
ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the
Army’s ROD may be made to:
Ms.Jennifer Barry, NTC Land Expansion
Program, ATTN: AFZJ–ST, Strategic
Planning Division, P.O. 105004, Fort
Irwin, California, 93210, or by calling
(760) 380-6174, or by sending an e-mail
to Jennifer.Barry@Irwin.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Please contact Ms. Jennifer Barry, or
Mrs. Nicole Lileikis, AFZJ–SP Strategic
Planning Division, P.O. 10309, Fort
Irwin, CA 92311. Interested parties may
also call (760) 380–6174.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
project involves acquisition of
approximately 127,000 new acres on the
east and southwest sides of the existing
NTC and the return to training use of
approximately 23,000 acres in the south
that are currently restricted from
military training. Implementation of the
Preferred Alternative as outlined in the
SFEIS will occur in a phased approach.
Training will occur in the Eastgate
parcel first, followed by the UTM 90
(the southern edge of Fort Irwin), and
the last area on which training will
begin will be the western area.
The Preferred alternative best meets
the purpose and need for training at Fort
Irwin and is crucial to achieving a
trained military to provide for the
current and future national security of
the country.
The selected alternative has
significant impacts, which are described
in the SFEIS. Among these are impacts
to the Desert Tortoise. The action also
includes mitigation measures that will
support conservation and management
of the tortoise. The SFEIS discusses a
Biological Opinion issued by the U.S.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:35 Mar 17, 2006
Jkt 208001
Fish and Wildlife Service on the effects
of the proposed action on both the
Desert Tortoise and another threatened
or endangered species, the Lane
Mountain Milk Vetch. The SFEIS also
includes a Supplemental Biological
Assessment prepared by the Army that
addresses the crucial habitat of the
Desert Tortoise.
Copies of the SFEIS ROD can be
found at the following libraries for
public reading: Library of Congress;
Riverside Main Library; San Diego
County Library; San Bernardino County
