Department of the Navy
Record of Decision for the
Development of the Westside of Marine
Corps Base Quantico, Including the
2005 Base Realignment and Closure
Action
Department of the Navy, DoD.
Notice of Record of Decision.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969, 42 U.S.C. Section
4332(2)(c), the regulations of the
Council on Environmental Quality’s
(CEQ) for Implementing the Procedural
Provisions of (40 CFR parts 1500–1508),
the Department of the Navy NEPA
regulation (32 CFR part 775), and the
Marine Corps Environmental
Compliance and Protection Manual,
which is Marine Corps Order P5090.2A
(MCO P5090.2A), the Department of the
Navy announces its decision to develop
the area west of Interstate 95 (Westside)
at Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCB
Quantico), Virginia. This action will
include implementation of the 2005
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)
action at MCB Quantico. The
development of Westside and
implementation of BRAC 2005 at MCB
Quantico will be accomplished as set
out in the Preferred Alternative and
described in the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (Final EIS) of April
2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Jeff Gardner, NREA Branch (B046), 3250
Catlin Avenue, Marine Corps Base,
Quantico, VA 22134–0855, telephone:
703–432–6770, and e-mail:
jeff.gardner@usmc.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2005,
the Secretary of Defense and the Defense
Base Closure and Realignment
Commission recommended that certain
realignment actions occur at MCB
Quantico. The President and Congress
approved these recommendations,
which became law on November 9,
2005. These recommendations must
now be implemented as provided for in
the Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–
510), as amended, no later than
September 15, 2011. The actions
directed at MCB Quantico are the
collocation of Military Department
Investigation Agencies Headquarters
with the Counterintelligence Field
Activity, and the Defense Security
Service at MCB Quantico. These
realignment actions will add
approximately 3,000 personnel to work
at MCB Quantico by 2011.
Projected personnel growth in Marine
Corps units currently on Mainside,
requirements to consolidate personnel
located elsewhere, replacement of
inadequate facilities on Mainside, and
an expectation that other federal and
Marine Corps initiatives will continue
to identify MCB Quantico as a site for
relocation, combined with limited
redevelopment potential on Mainside,
comprise the additional need to develop
Westside.
Proposed Action. The Marine Corps
proposes development of the Westside
of MCB Quantico including the 2005
BRAC action at MCB Quantico. The
development would entail construction
of new facilities in two undeveloped
areas west of I–95. These areas, the
Russell Road Area and the MCB–1 Area,
would accommodate the collocation of
Military Department Investigation
Agencies with the Department of
Defense Counterintelligence and
Security Agency at MCB Quantico as
directed by the 2005 BRAC law. They
would also provide space for adequate
facilities to support Marine Corps units
currently at MCB Quantico, as well as
potentially other federal and Marine
