DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Navy
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement/
Overseas Environmental Impact
Statement for Navy Atlantic Fleet
Training in the Navy Cherry Point
Range Complex and Notice of Public
Scoping Meetings
Department of the Navy, DOD.
Notice.
AGENCY:
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section
(102)(2)(c) of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as implemented by the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR parts 1500–1508), and Executive
Order 12114, the Department of Navy
(Navy) announces its intent to prepare
an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS)/Overseas EIS to evaluate the
potential environmental consequences
associated with naval training
operations in the Navy Cherry Point
(CP) Range Complex. The Navy
proposes to support current and
emerging training and research,
development, test, and evaluation
(RDT&E) operations in the Navy CP
Range Complex by: (1) Maintaining
baseline operations at current levels; (2)
increasing training operations from
current levels as necessary to support
the Fleet Readiness Training Plan
(FRTP); (3) accommodating mission
requirements associated with force
structure change; and (4) implementing
enhanced range complex capabilities.
The EIS/OEIS study area is the Navy CP
Range Complex which consists of
surface and subsurface operating areas
(OPAREAs), special use airspace (SUA),
and instrumented ranges. The Navy CP
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:27 Apr 27, 2007
Jkt 211001
Range Complex encompasses: 18,617
nm2 of offshore surface and subsurface
OPAREA; 12,529 nm2 of deep ocean
area greater than 100 fathoms (600 feet);
and 18,966 nm2 of SUA (warning area).
No land ranges or facilities are included
within the study area for this EIS/OEIS.
The focus of the EIS/OEIS is the
exercises and other actions in the ocean
environment. Issues associated with
land-based ranges will be assessed
separately by the U.S. Marine Corps.
The scope of actions to be analyzed in
this EIS/OEIS includes current and
proposed future Navy training and
RDT&E within Navy-controlled
operating areas, airspace, and
instrumented ranges. It also includes
proposed Navy-funded range
capabilities enhancements, including
infrastructure improvements, which
support range complex training and
RDT&E. Activities that involve the use
of active sonar are conducted in the
Navy CP Complex; however, those
potential effects are being analyzed in
detail in a separate document, the
Atlantic Fleet Active Sonar Training
EIS/OEIS. That separate sonar EIS/OEIS
addresses active sonar use as a whole by
the Atlantic Fleet in the eastern Atlantic
Ocean (including waters that are part of
the Navy CP Complex), and in the Gulf
of Mexico. The results of that sonar EIS/
OEIS will be incorporated into the Navy
CP Range Complex EIS/OEIS to account
for active sonar effects that could occur
within the geographic area of the Navy
CP Range Complex.
Dates and Addresses: Two public
scoping meetings will be held, one in
Morehead City, North Carolina and one
in Wilmington, North Carolina, to
receive oral and written comments on
environmental concerns that should be
addressed in the Navy CP Range
Complex EIS/OEIS. Public scoping
meetings will be held at the following
dates, times, and locations: May 16,
2007, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at West
Carteret High School, 4700 Country
Club Road, Morehead City, North
Carolina, and May 17, 2007, from 5 p.m.
to 8 p.m. at New Hanover High School,
1307 Market Street, Wilmington, North
Carolina.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kelly Knight, Naval Facilities
Engineering Command Atlantic, (757)
322–4398.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Navy’s mission is to maintain, train, and
equip combat-ready naval forces capable
of winning wars, deterring aggression
and maintaining freedom of the seas.
For that reason, Title 10 U.S.C. 5062
directs the Chief of Naval Operations to
train all naval forces for combat. The
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Chief of Naval Operations meets that
direction, in part, by conducting at-sea
training exercises and ensuring naval
forces have access to ranges, OPAREAs
and airspace where they can develop
and maintain skills for wartime
missions and conduct RDT&E of naval
weapons systems. As such, Navy ranges,
OPAREAs, and airspace must be
maintained and/or enhanced to
accommodate necessary training and
testing activities in support of national
security objectives.
The purpose of the proposed action is
to: Achieve and maintain Fleet
readiness using the Navy CP Range
Complex to support current, emerging,
and future training and RDT&E
operations; expand warfare missions;
and upgrade/modernize existing range
capabilities to enhance and sustain
Navy training and testing.
The need for the proposed action is to
provide combat capable forces ready to
deploy worldwide in accordance with
Title 10 U.S.C 5062. Specifically,
maintain current levels of military
readiness by training and testing in the
Navy CP Range Complex; accommodate
future increases in operational training
tempo in the Navy CP Range Complex
and support the rapid deployment of
naval units or strike groups; achieve and
sustain readiness in ships and
squadrons so that the Navy can quickly
surge significant combat power in the
event of a national crisis or contingency
operation and consistent with FRTP;
support the testing and training needed
for new aircraft, vessels, weapons
systems and missions; and maintain the
long-term viability of the Navy CP
Range Complex while protecting human
health and the environment.
Three alternatives will be evaluated in
the EIS/OEIS including: (1) The No
Action Alternative comprising baseline
operations and support of existing range
capabilities; (2) Alternative 1
comprising the No Action Alternative
plus additional operations, expanded
warfare missions, accommodation of
force structure changes including
training and RDT&E resulting from the
introduction of new vessels, aircraft,
weapons systems and missions, and the
implementation of enhancements to
range infrastructure; and (3) Alternative
2, comprising Alternative 1 plus
additional increases in training, and
implementation of enhancements that
will optimize training throughput in
support of future contingencies. The
EIS/OEIS will evaluate the
environmental effects associated with:
Airspace; noise; range safety; water
resources; air quality; biological
resources, including threatened and
endangered species; land use;
