VerDate Aug<31>2005

directed by the BRAC Commission at

places 8,500 new employees at Fort
Belvoir’s Engineer Proving Ground;
places 5,500 personnel on Fort Belvoir’s
Main Post, and defers a decision on
6,200 personnel.
ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the ROD

Directorate of Public Works, 9430

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Don Carr, Fort Belvoir Public Affairs
Office, at (703) 805–2583 during normal
business hours Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Army
has decided to implement the Preferred
Alternative (with exceptions noted
below) identified in the Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) (June 2007),
supporting studies, and comments
provided during formal comment and
review periods. The Preferred
Alternative includes construction,
renovation, and operation of proposed
facilities to accommodate incoming
military missions and activities at Fort
Belvoir as mandated by the BRAC
Commission’s recommendations. The
preferred alternative also includes an
updated land use plan, a portion of the
installation’s Real Property Master Plan.
To implement the BRAC Commission
recommendations, Fort Belvoir will be
receiving personnel, equipment, and
missions from various closure and
realignment actions within the
Department of Defense. To implement
the BRAC Commission
recommendations, the Army will
provide the necessary facilities,
buildings, and infrastructure to
accommodate personnel being realigned
from the Washington Headquarters
Services (WHS); National GeospatialIntelligence Agency (NGA); various
Army entities moving from leased space
in the National Capital Region (NCR);
U.S. Army Medical Command
(MEDCOM); Program Executive Office,
Enterprise Information Systems (PEO
EIS); and Missile Defense Agency
Headquarters Command Center (MDA
HQCC). Details of the BRAC
Commission’s recommendations can be
found at https://www.brac.gov. The No
Action Alternative would not meet the
Army’s purpose and need for the
Proposed Action as the BRAC
realignment is required by Congress and
needed for Army transformation to be
effective.
Two elements of the EIS’s Preferred
Alternative were not selected for
implementation in the ROD. First, no
decision is being made at this time for
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
45021
siting of the WHS group, designated for
the Engineer Proving Ground in the EIS.
There will be a subsequent decision for
this organization, following analysis of
different alternatives. The ROD also
does not include building of the Family
Travel Camp on Fort Belvoir’s Main
Post.
Special consideration was given to the
effect of the Preferred Alternative on
natural resources, cultural resources,
traffic and transportation,
socioeconomic resources, and air
quality. Many means to avoid or
minimize environmental harm from the
selected alternative have been adopted.
Other mitigation measures identified in
the EIS were not adopted, primarily
because of a lack of funding. The Army
will minimize effects on all
environmental and socioeconomic
resources by implementing the best
management practices described in the
EIS.
As determined in the EIS,
implementing the Preferred Alternative
will have short- and long-term
significant adverse impacts on the
transportation network at Fort Belvoir
and its surrounding area. The ROD
states that implementing the Preferred
Alternative reflects a proper balance
among initiatives for protection of the
environment, appropriate mitigation,
and actions to achieve the Army’s
requirements.
