Impact Statement for the

Army National Guard 56th Brigade Into
a Stryker Brigade Combat Team at the
National Guard Training Center-Fort
Indiantown GAP, PA
Department of the Army DoD.
Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The National Guard Bureau
and the Department of the Army
announce the availability of the Record
of Decision (ROD), which explains the
decision to proceed with the
Transformation of the Pennsylvania
Army National Guard (PAARNG) 56th
Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT).
This action includes construction of
new training and support facilities at
the National Guard Training Center-Fort
Indiantown Gap (NGTC–FTIG), Fort
Pickett, VA, and local PAARNG
facilities across the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. The action also includes
Annual Training (AT) at Fort A.P. Hill,
VA in order to accomplish requisite
training. The Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) complies with
all applicable requirements, and
adequately addresses the biological,
physical, socioeconomic, and cultural
impacts from implementing the
proposed action.
ADDRESSES: Written comments or
materials should be forwarded to LTC
Christopher Cleaver, NGTC–FTIG Public
Affairs Officer, PADMVA Headquarters,
Building 0–47, Annville, PA 17003–
5002, or Ms. Patricia Rickard, NGTC–
FTIG EIS Project Officer, NGTC–FTIG
Environmental Section, 1119 Utility
Road, Annville, PA 17003–5002.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LTC
Christopher Cleaver at (717) 861–8468
or Ms. Patricia Rickard at (717) 861–
2580.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEIS
examined three alternatives: (1)
Preferred Alternative—implement all
construction actions identified in the
FEIS; (2) Train Using Existing Facilities
Alternative—using existing PAARNG
training ranges and additional facilities
at other regional Army installations
(outside of Pennsylvania) to fulfill
Inactive Duty Training and AT
requirements on a temporary to
permanent basis; (3) No-Action
Alternative—do not implement the
proposed action and continue current
operations. Significant impacts are
anticipated from both Action

Alternatives, although the Preferred
Alternative would result in greater
impacts. The Train Using Existing Army
Facilities Alternative would result in
fewer impacts, but would not achieve
the purpose of and need for the
proposed action as effectively as the
Preferred Alternative. The FEIS
identifies mitigation measures to
minimize impacts from the proposed
action. Unmitigable impacts are
expected to occur to land use associated
with establishment of the proposed
‘‘full’’ Combined Arms Collective
Training Facility (CACTF) at NGTC–
FTIG. The proposed CACTF would
require the acquisition of up to eight
private properties that are in-holdings
totaling 18.1 acres. There would be a
loss of approximately 224 acres of prime
farmland due to construction of
statewide facilities, and the permanent
removal of up to 745 acres of
continuous forest habitat at NGTC–FTIG
and approximately 15 acres at Fort
Pickett that would not be replaced by
similar forest habitat. No Federally
designated threatened or endangered
species would be significantly affected
under the Preferred Alternative. No
significant air quality, cultural and
water resources, noise, infrastructure, or
environmental justice impacts would
occur under the Preferred Alternative.
In consultation with Federallyrecognized Native American Tribes, no
significant traditional cultural
properties or Native American sacred
sites have been identified within areas
that would be impacted under the
Preferred Alternatives. As such, no
impacts to Federally-recognized Native
American Tribes or their interests are
anticipated. Beneficial socioeconomic
impacts are expected as local
construction will require local products
and manpower.
