Download as PDF cchase on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 87 / Friday, May 5, 2006 / Notices buildings. Hunting and fishing would continue in accordance with the Fort Bragg INRMP and FB Reg. 420–11, Hunting and Fishing Regulation, and would be subject to restrictions imposed on public access by military training schedules. A total of 15 contributing elements (14 buildings and the golf course) would be required to operate the youth golf and horse stables programs. These buildings, structures and landscapes would be adaptively reused or preserved in layaway in support of the recreation programs in accordance with the Standards for Rehabilitation or the Standards for Preservation in the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (38 CFR part 68). The remaining 41 contributing elements would be incorporated into the training program after all legal requirements under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the Fort Bragg Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan (ICRMP) and AR 200–4, Cultural Resources Management are fulfilled. Alternative II would allow for more effective and realistic training, although on a small scale (limited to 250 personnel plus support personnel), because training activities on both NTA I–IV and on Overhills (NTA V–VIII) would be governed by one set of rules, the IRR. However, this alternative requires over 600 acres of Overhills west of Hwy NC–87 for the recreation programs. Additionally, a buffer zone would have to be established in order to prevent incompatible adjacent land uses between the land used for the recreational programs and training. This alternative would channelize training activities near the southern boundary of Overhills and also limit the avenues of approach and maneuver formations that could be conducted on Overhills. Alternative III—Intermediate Training, additional recreation, and adaptive reuse and/or layaway of selected contributing elements within the District. Under this alternative the level of activity on Overhills would be increased to accommodate battalionsized units (approximately 1,000 personnel), plus support personnel. Training activities listed in Alternatives II would be conducted in accordance with the IRR, which allows for more effective, realistic training scenarios. The youth golf and horse stable programs and hunting and fishing would occur as described in Alternative II. Historic buildings would be preserved as described in Alternative II. The acreage and buildings identified in Alternative II that are required for the additional recreation programs would VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:48 May 04, 2006 Jkt 208001 also be eliminated from training use under this alternative This alternative would channelize training activities near the southern boundary of Overhills and also limit the avenues of approach and maneuver formations that could be conducted on Overhills. Alternative IV (Preferred Alternative)—Maximum training, existing recreation, and no preservation of the District. Under this alternative the level of training would be increased to accommodate brigade-sized units (approximately 5,000 personnel), and the Overhills would be used in the same manner as the other training areas on Fort Bragg. Units up to and including brigade size would train in accordance with the IRR and the training activities listed in Alternative II would be permitted. Overhills would be fully incorporated into the installation’s training program. The number of personnel would depend on such factors as the type of training (i.e. Infantry, Armor, Special Operations, etc.), unit configuration, and training area landscape. Incorporating Overhills fully into the Fort Bragg training program would not change the number of brigade size exercises presently held on the installation. However, permitting brigade-size training on the Overhills in accordance with the IRR would provide trainers with additional training areas when scheduling exercises. Hunting and fishing would continue in accordance with the Fort Bragg INRMP and FB Reg. 420–11, Hunting and Fishing Regulation, and would be subject to restrictions imposed on public access by military training schedules. No additional recreational use of the Overhills would occur. After fulfillment of all requirements under NHPA, the Fort Bragg ICRMP and AR 200–4, Cultural Resources Management, all 56 contributing elements would be integrated into the training program. After review of the FEIS, and careful consideration of public comments received throughout the NEPA process, Alternative IV (Preferred Alternative— Maximum training, existing recreation, and no preservation of the District) was selected for the Record of Decision. This alternative best supports Fort Bragg’s ability to enhance the overall capability of the installation to perform its primary mission—the training and logistical and mobilization/deployment support of the XVIII Airborne Corps, United States Army Special Operations Command, 82nd Airborne Division, and other assigned units—, while continuing to sustain the environmental resources on Fort Bragg. The following factors were PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26473 considered in making the selection of Alternative IV: (1) Fullest use of training lands; (2) maintenance and upkeep of the historic buildings; (3) compatibility of recreation and training; and (4) sustainability of the environment. Although the No Action Alternative has fewer environmental impacts it does not fully support Fort Bragg’s primary mission—the training and logistical and mobilization/deployment support of the XVIII Airborne Corps, United States Army Special Operations Command, 82nd Airborne Division, and other assigned units. The Preferred Alternative allows Fort Bragg to fulfill its mission requirements while meeting the installation’s responsibility for environmental stewardship. Fort Bragg has identified all practicable means to avoid or minimize environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the Preferred Alternative (IV); all identified mitigation and monitoring in the FEIS will be adopted.
