AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Army announces the
availability of a Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) for the
construction and operation of a Battle
Area Complex (BAX) and a Combined
Arms Collective Training Facility
(CACTF) within U.S. Army training
lands in Alaska, and the execution of
routine, joint military training at these
locations. The purpose of the proposed
project is to provide year-round, fully
automated, comprehensive and realistic
training and range facilities for U.S.
Army, Alaska and other units. The FEIS
analyzes the proposed action’s impacts
upon Alaska’s natural and man-made
environments. The FEIS was prepared
in pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Major Kirk Gohlke, Public Affairs
Officer, telephone: (907) 384–1542

U.S.
Army, Alaska (USARAK) proposes to
construct and to operate two state-ofthe-art, fully automated and
instrumented combat training facilities
on U.S. Army training lands in Alaska.
This involves the construction and
operation of a BAX (rural environment)
and CACTF (urban environment). The
BAX requires approximately 3,500 acres
and the CACTF requires 1,100 acres of
land suitable for the construction and
operation of these ranges. In addition,
surface danger zones are required for
both the BAX and CACTF.
The purpose of the proposed action is
to provide year-round, fully automated,
comprehensive, and realistic training
and range facilities, which, in
combination, would support company
(200 Soldiers) through battalion (800
Soldiers) combat team training events.
The construction and operation of a
BAX and CACTF would support
required higher levels of realistic
combat training in both urban and rural
environments. Automated facilities
would be used to provide timely
feedback that is critical to effective
training.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The BAX and CACTF would fully
train Soldiers for war by maintaining
unit readiness and availability in
recognition of the threats facing our
nation and the world today. The BAX
would support company combat team
live-fire operations on a fully automated
rural maneuver range and would
provide for joint combined arms team
training with other Department of
Defense organizations. The CACTF
would support battalion combat team
training and joint operation in an urban
environment.
The changes in the FEIS are the result
of public and agency comments
following the release of the
Supplemental Draft EIS in March 2006.
The FEIS provides additional analysis
on such issues as: project site selection;
soil resources; wildlife and fisheries;
cultural resources; surface water
(particularly local flooding events); fire
management; noise; human health and
safety; airspace use; and mitigation.
These issues have been analyzed based
on the following proposed alternative
courses of action: (1) No Action
(maintain existing range infrastructure
without constructing a BAX and a
CACTF); (2) Construction and operation
of a BAX and a CACTF within the Eddy
Drop Zone; (3) Construction and
operation of a BAX and a CACTF within
the Donnelly Drop Zone; (4)
Construction and operation of a BAX
and a CACTF within the North Texas
Range; and (5) Construction and
operation of a BAX within the North
Texas Range and CACTF within the
Eddy Drop Zone (new alternative).
These three locations are within
Donnelly Training Area, East, which is
adjacent to Fort Greely, AK. The
preferred alternative is to construct and
operate a BAX and CACTF at Eddy Drop
Zone.
Publication of the FEIS is expected to
occur in or around June 2006. A 30-day
waiting period begins on the date the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
publishes notice of receipt of the FEIS
in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the
Army will complete the EIS process by
issuing a Record of Decision. Copies of
the FEIS are available at the following
locations: Noel Wien Public Library,
1215 Cowles Street, Fairbanks, AK;
Delta Junction Public Library, Deborah
Street, Delta Junction, AK; Donnelly
Training Area National Resources
Office, Building T100, Room 201, Fort
