Download as PDF 48998 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 165 / Monday, August 27, 2007 / Notices rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES comment and review periods. The Proposed Action includes construction, renovation, and operation of proposed facilities to accommodate incoming military missions at APG. To implement the BRAC recommendations, APG 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 support incoming military missions and a net gain of about 4,400 people as mandated by the 2005 BRAC Commission’s recommendations at APG. 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. Special consideration was given to the effect of the Preferred Alternative on natural resources, cultural resources, and traffic. All practicable means to avoid or minimize environmental harm from the Preferred Alternative have been adopted. The Army will minimize effects on all environmental and socioeconomic resources by implementing best management practices as described in the EIS. Mitigation measures, as described in the ROD, will be implemented, subject to the availability of funding, to minimize, avoid, or compensate for the adverse effects identified in the EIS at APG for biological resources and cultural resources. The EIS also identifies transportation projects that could eliminate adverse impacts from implementing the Preferred Alternative. The ROD describes the disposition of these projects and the approach the Army will take to mitigate traffic concerns. The ROD states that implementing the Preferred Alternative reflects a proper balance between initiatives for protection of the environment, appropriate mitigation, and actions to achieve the Army’s requirements. An electronic version of the ROD is available for download at: https:// www.hqda.army.mil/acsim/brac/nepa_ eis_docs.htm. Dated: August 20, 2007. Addison D. Davis, IV, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Environment, Safety and Occupational Health).
