Preparation of the Brigade Combat

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Army Installation
Management Agency and the Fort Irwin
National Training Center will prepare a
PEIS to analyze the impacts of mission
realignment in support of the Army
Transformation, the Army Campaign
Plan, and other Army initiatives. Under
the proposed action, the 11th Armored
Cavalry Regiment will expand to
become a full-size, multi-component
Heavy Brigade Combat Team (BCT),

deployable throughout the world. Other,
smaller units will also be stationed at
Fort Irwin. Training rotations will
increase from 10 per year to 12. The
PEIS will evaluate the new construction,
new land use, and changes in training,
area use necessary to implement the
proposed action at Fort Irwin.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PEIS
will assess the environmental impacts
associated with the stationing and
training of new soldiers at Fort Irwin.
Under the proposed action,
approximately 690 additional soldiers
would be stationed at Fort Irwin, with
approximately 760 family members
accompanying them. The proposed
action will increase training by about
20% on all Fort Irwin training areas and
may involve some new range
construction. This increased usage will
ultimately involve the maneuver
training areas into which Fort Irwin
expanded, as decided in 2006. The
proposed action will result in additional
construction in the Fort Irwin
cantonment area for such projects as
soldier and family housing, schools,
infrastructure, utilities, and related
facilities. These changes would provide
the capability to train additional units
and represent a realignment of existing
missions for the installation. The action
may have environmental impacts to air
quality, water usage, waste water and
other utilities, and biological resources.
Fort Irwin will continue to train
rotational units and would now support
the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment
(ACR), a multi-component Heavy BCT.
A range of reasonable alternatives,
including an alternative of considering
no action as required by the National
Environmental Policy Act, will be
developed and analyzed in the PEIS.
The range of alternatives will include
varying amounts of new construction
and training area changes. During the
scoping process, other alternatives may
be developed and added for
consideration. The PEIS will also
analyze each alternative’s impact upon
the natural, cultural, and man-made
environments at Fort Irwin and in the
surrounding region.
Tribal, Federal, state and local
agencies, as well as the public are
invited to participate in the scoping

process for the preparation of this PEIS.
Scoping meetings will be held in
convenient locations near the
installation. Notification of the times
and locations for the scoping meetings
will be published in local newspapers.
The scoping process will help identify
additional possible alternatives,
potential environmental impacts, and
key issues of concern to be analyzed in
the PEIS. To ensure scoping comments
are fully considered in the Draft PEIS,
comments and suggestions should be
received within the 30-day scoping
period or no later than 15 days
following the last scoping meeting,
whichever is later.
