The installation supports combined training space and facilities for the Armed Forces, and other Federal and local agencies in the north central part of California. ACSIM–ARID and CSTC have prepared a RPMP that proposed a program for revitalizing the installation infrastructure and accelerating facility replacements.

redevelopment of the cantonment area of Camp Parks, with approximately

171.5-acres is controlled by the U.S. Army and 8.5-acres controlled by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS evaluates three alternatives to 
support the redevelopment of Camp Parks: (1) The no action alternative, 
under which there would be no comprehensive plan or vision for overall 
Camp Parks development, which would occur ad hoc as funds became 
available and facilities would remain largely unchanged; (2) the slow 
growth alternative, under which Camp parks would retain all its land 
holdings and gradually move towards developing faculties and activities 
identified in the RPMP; the southern cantonment Area would remain an 
opportunity site for future planning; and (3) accelerated modernization 
in a redeveloped compacted cantonment area (the proposed action), under 
which the RPMP would be implemented using the value of the land 
exchange (180-acres of the southern Cantonment area from Federal to 
private ownership) in return for new installation facilities and 
infrastructure with NASA's inholding being sold and that value being 
used at their NASA-Ames Research Center, Moffet Field, California. The 
strategic location of Camp Parks in northern California makes it the 
most accessible and economical training resource for over 250 Reserve 
component units supporting over 20,000 Reservists. The installation 
supports combined training space and facilities for the Armed Forces, 
and other Federal and local agencies in the north central part of 
California. ACSIM-ARID and CSTC have prepared a RPMP that proposed a 
program for revitalizing the installation infrastructure and 
accelerating facility replacements.
    The RPMP proposes approximately 1.3 million square feet of new 
buildings/structures and approximately 370,000 square feet of parking 
area. Majority of the existing structures on Camp Parks were intended 
to be temporary when originally constructed and are considered 
inadequate for today's military personnel and lifestyles. The RPMP 
proposes the modernization of facilities to meet the troop training 
requirements and amenities that are consistent tot he private sector.
    The DEIS concludes the no action alternative is not reasonable 
based on the infrastructure and buildings at Camp Parks being 
antiquated and requiring excessive maintenance. The DEIS concludes the 
slow growth alternative, the incremental modernization utilizing 
existing cantonment area i not reasonable since facility/activity 
upgrades would be prioritized and dependent on annual funding from 
Military Construction Army Reserve (MCAR) allocations and project 
proponents. MCAR funds are appropriated on a availability basis which

upgrades for adequate training for military personnel in the Bay Area.
    Meeting Dates and Review Period: A public meeting will be held in 
the vicinity of Camp Parks to present the DEIS as well as to answer any

action. A notice of the public meeting will be published in local
