BILLING CODE 5001–06–P
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Army
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for Grow the Army (GTA) Actions at
Fort Carson, CO
Department of the Army, DoD.
Notice of Intent (NOI).
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: As part of the GTA effort, the
U. S. Army intends to prepare an EIS to
analyze the environmental and
socioeconomic impacts resulting from
the decision to station a new Infantry
Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) at Fort
Carson. The EIS will also analyze Fort
Carson’s Butts Army Airfield (BAAF) as
a potential location for stationing a
Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) in the
future.
ADDRESSES: For questions regarding the
EIS, please contact Ms. Deb Owings or
Ms. Robin Renn, Fort Carson National
Environmental Policy Act Coordinators,
1638 Elwell Street, Building 6236, Fort
Carson, CO 80913–4000. Written
comments may be mailed to that
address or e-mailed to
CARSDECAMNEPA@conus.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Dee McNuff, Fort Carson Public Affairs
Office at (719) 526–1269, during normal
business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fort
Carson consists of approximately
137,000 acres of DOD-managed land
south of Colorado Springs (east of the
Rocky Mountain Front Range) and
occupies portions of El Paso, Pueblo,
and Fremont counties. The Pinon
Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) is the
primary maneuver training area for Fort
Carson. In addition to the units
stationed there, Fort Carson and the
PCMS also provide training to Reserve
units and the National Guard. The
PCMS is located approximately 150
miles southeast of Fort Carson and
consists of approximately 235,000 acres.
The stationing of additional BCTs and
other force structure realignment actions
across the Army was analyzed in the
2007 Final Programmatic EIS for Army
Growth and Force Structure
Realignment. The Record of Decision
determined that Fort Carson would
receive an additional IBCT contingent
on site specific NEPA analysis. The Fort
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Carson GTA EIS will analyze
environmental and socioeconomic
impacts as a result of this decision. Also
analyzed will be the potential stationing
of a CAB and newly identified projects
that would be required to support GTA
actions.
Implementing these requirements
would involve constructing new
facilities at Fort Carson to support an
IBCT (approximately 4,500 additional
Soldiers and their dependents), the
potential stationing of a CAB
(approximately 2,800 Soldiers and their
dependents) and upgrading ranges.
Increased use of live-fire training ranges
and maneuver areas would occur at Fort
Carson and the PCMS.
The Fort Carson GTA EIS will analyze
the impact of several alternatives
including the No Action Alternative.
Alternatives to be examined by the EIS
may consist of alternative siting
locations within Fort Carson for facility/
utility construction projects, renovation
and use of existing facilities. The EIS
will also examine increases in land use
intensity resulting from training
activities connected with GTA
stationing decisions. Under the No
Action Alternative, the stationing of a
new IBCT and CAB at Fort Carson
would not be implemented.
Impacts analyzed will include a wide
range of environmental resource areas
including, but not limited to, air quality,
traffic, noise, water resources, biological
resources, cultural resources,
socioeconomics, utilities, land use, solid
and hazardous materials/waste, and
cumulative environmental effects.
Additional resources and conditions
may be identified as a result of the
scoping process initiated by this NOI.
The public will be invited to
participate in the scoping process which
includes several scoping meetings to
provide input on the proposed actions
and alternatives in the EIS. The public
will also be invited to review and
comment on the Draft EIS. These public
involvement opportunities will be
announced in the local news media.
Comments from the public will be
considered before any decision is made
regarding implementing the proposed
action at Fort Carson.
Dated: May 1, 2008.
Addison D. Davis, IV,
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Environment, Safety and Occupational
Health).
