Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 12, 2008 / Notices
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
(1) Sustain compliance with current and
future regulatory and code
requirements, (2) provide reliable
services and alternate sources for
planned maintenance and unscheduled
repairs, and to assure availability during
periods of emergency and natural
disaster, (3) conserve and effectively
manage resources, and (4) accommodate
current and potential future growth at
MCB Camp Pendleton. The proposed
action consists of eight projects, which
are discussed below.
Northern Regional Tertiary Treatment
Plant (NRTTP) and Associated
Facilities (MILCON P–1043)
P–1043 would construct a 5-milliongallon per day NRTTP and sludge
treatment facility near the location of
existing Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
11. This project consolidates and
replaces the existing Sewage Treatment
Plants (STP) 10, 11, and 12 and would
treat raw sewage from the associated
collection system and conveyance lines.
In order to accomplish this, the project
would include modification or reuse of
the existing headworks facilities at STPs
10, 11, and 12; a new sewer conveyance
line from STP 12 in San Mateo (62 Area)
to the new NRTTP; lift stations, and the
conversion of STP 12 to a Tributary
Area Pump Station (TAPS). The new
NRTTP will include various sewage
treatment components within the plant
compound such as: an influent pump
station, sludge treatment and handling
facilities, preliminary treatment
facilities, secondary treatment facilities,
advanced (tertiary) wastewater
treatment facilities, chemical storage
and feed systems, odor control facilities,
and a 4,600-square-foot operations
facility. Some demolition may be
required as part of the conversion of
STPs 10, 11, and 12 to TAPS.
P–1043 would construct
approximately 36,000 linear feet (LF) of
wastewater main lines sized from 8 to
15 inches in diameter. The project
would begin in Talega (64 Area) and
would continue through Cristianitos (63
Area) to the proposed TAPS 12 at San
Mateo (62 Area). The project would
provide new wastewater lines to replace
the existing wastewater lines from the
San Onofre Housing area to the
proposed NRTTP. A new wastewater
line would also replace the existing
wastewater line from Horno (53 Area)
through the School of Infantry (52 Area)
to the proposed NRTTP. The project
would also construct approximately
70,000 LF of pipeline from the NRTTP
to convey recycled water to selected
reuse areas in Talega (64 Area). The
project would include new Reuse Pump
Stations, a 2-million-gallon NRTTP
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:30 Nov 10, 2008
Jkt 217001
reuse water storage facility, and
backflow preventors to prevent any
cross connections between the potable
and wastewater systems.
Alternatives—The alternative for P–
1043 would be an alternative alignment
from San Mateo (62 Area) to STP 11.
This alignment would extend the line
from STP/TAPS 12 south along Coast
Road, east of the northern agriculture
fields and to Basilone Road, and then
east along Basilone Road to STP 11.
This alignment would follow the
alignment for P–1045 discussed below.
Also, the use of Horizontal Directional
Drilling (HDD) for passing under San
Mateo Creek will also be considered as
a feasible technology. This will be
compared to more standard pipe laying
construction methods such as trenching
and backfilling.
Advanced Water Treatment (AWT)
North and Associated Facilities
(MILCON P–1044)
P–1044 would construct AWT
facilities to serve the northern region of
MCB Camp Pendleton to provide a
reduction of total dissolved solids, total
organic carbon, and corrosivity.
Construction would include a
Granulated Activated Carbon/Reverse
Osmosis facility and associated Brine
Disposal System. Micro-filtration system
is used for water treatment. The Brine
Disposal System would connect the
Reverse Osmosis module and would
include a brine/slurry dilution facility,
brine line pump station, and pipeline to
an ocean outfall at San Onofre Nuclear
Generating Station (SONGS). The
project would also construct wellhead
collection points with associated piping
and pumps and an 800-square-foot
operations facility. P–1044 would
construct approximately 59,000 LF of
main water lines, with pipelines ranging
in size from 10 to 14 inches in diameter
for potable water conveyance in the
northern region of MCB Camp
Pendleton. The new lines would
connect into the new AWT Facility
North. The line would begin at the AWT
facility in the San Onofre Housing
Cantonment area and continue to Horno
(53 Area). A second water line would
link Talega (64 Area) to San Mateo (62
Area). The project would include three
pump stations with emergency
generators, asphalt patches, and
connection to existing reservoirs and
distribution system. Potable water
loops, 8-inch in diameter would be
installed within each cantonment and
housing area totaling approximately
21,000 LF of piping.
Alternative—Alternatives would
include consideration of multiple
independent raw water treatment
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
facilities and feasible treatment
technologies located within multiple
cantonment areas instead of
consolidated regional treatment plants.
Connection of North and South Water
Systems (MILCON P–1045)
P–1045 would construct
approximately 90,000 LF of potable
waterlines sized approximately 36
inches in diameter to connect the
northern and southern water systems of
MCB Camp Pendleton. A water line
would begin at the proposed AWT
Facility (P–1044), extend past the
SONGS Mesa facility, and then continue
along the east side of Interstate 5 (I–5)
before crossing San Onofre Creek. The
line would travel south along Stuart
Mesa Road, cross the Santa Margarita
River, and then would connect to the
southern water system at the
intersection of Stuart Mesa Road and
Vandegrift Boulevard. The project
would also include three pump stations
at the north, central, and south portions
of the Base to connect Las Pulgas, Las
Flores, and the Stuart Mesa areas to the
South Water System.
Alternative Alignment—This
alternative alignment would begin at the
proposed AWT facilities (P–1044) and
extend east along Basilone Road
(instead of El Camino Real) to Las
Pulgas Road and then south on Las
Pulgas Road to Stuart Mesa Road. At
Stuart Mesa Road the alignment would
follow the same alignment of the
proposed action to the connection of the
southern system at the corner of Stuart
Mesa Road and Vandegrift Boulevard.
Also, the project would consider the use
of approximately 7,000 LF of HDD
beneath San Onofre Creek and the Santa
Margarita River.
Upgrades to Electrical Systems and
Associated Facilities (MILCON P–1048)
P–1048 would construct a 69 kilovolt
(kV) electrical transmission system that
will provide a more efficient and
reliable transmission method, system
redundancy and energy cost savings.
The 69 KV system will meet industry
standard for long distance delivery of
power and provide capability to back
feed all cantonment areas from a
secondary source during blackouts
caused by wildfires, other natural
disasters, and/or systems failure. The
project would construct four new 69 kV
substations located (1) at the existing
Haybarn Canyon location, (2) near the
intersection of Pulgas Road and Stuart
Mesa Road, (3) in the vicinity of the
SONGS, and (4) in the general area of
the intersection of Cristianitos Road and
San Mateo Road. The first three
substations would connect to existing
E:\FR\FM\12NON1.SGM
12NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 12, 2008 / Notices
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) 69
kV lines. The fourth substation would
convert the proposed MCB Camp
Pendleton 69 kV line to the existing
MCB Camp Pendleton 12 kV system.
The project would provide distribution
of electrical power through four
different connecting segments. The first
segment (Haybarn segment) would
include a new 69 kV overhead
distribution line with a 12 kV line
running on the same utility poles. These
lines would connect the proposed
Substation #1 to Range 409. For the
second segment, the 69 kV distribution
line would extend underground (to
avoid conflicts with aircraft training and
safety) through Range 409 to resurface
in the eastern portion of the Base. For
the third segment, the 69 kV
distribution line would continue
overhead along the eastern and northern
Base boundaries following the SDG&E
230 kV transmission lines, proceed
down Cristianitos Road and connect to
the proposed Substation #4, and
continue to I–5. The line would parallel
I–5 toward the proposed Substation #3
located in the vicinity of SONGS,
completing the northern loop. For the
fourth segment, the final 69 kV
overhead power line would extend from
the proposed Substation #2 and follow
Pulgas Road with a 69 kV and 12 kV
distribution line on the same utility
pole. At Las Pulgas (43 Area), only the
69 kV line would continue south along
Basilone Road to Roblar Road to connect
to the Haybarn line, completing the
southern loop.
Alternative Alignment—The
alternative to P–1048 would be to
underground all four electrical line
segments. Under the proposed action
only the segment through Range 409 is
proposed to be underground.
MILCON P–1094
P–1094 would replace the existing 12
kV electrical distribution systems
currently fed from the Haybarn
substation, and the 4.16 kV subsystems
fed from the 12 kV distribution system.
The project would construct a total of 8
new 12 kV circuits, which would be fed
from the new 69 kV substation (P–1048),
to provide approximately 60 percent of
the electrical power for MCB Camp
Pendleton. Existing ‘‘A’’ circuit provides
power to the 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16
(Mainside) areas of MCB Camp
Pendleton. Existing ‘‘C’’ circuit would
provide power to the 23 (Marine Corps
Air Station Camp Pendleton (MCAS
CP)), 25 Vado del Rio), 32 (MASS–3),
and 33 (Margarita) areas. Existing ‘‘E’’
circuit would provide power to the 20
(Main Gate), 22 (Chappo), and 26 (at the
bottom of Rattlesnake Canyon Rd) areas
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:30 Nov 10, 2008
Jkt 217001
and would also provide power to the
housing areas at Wire Mountain.
Existing ‘‘F’’ circuit would provide
power to the 26 Area and the Naval
Hospital. Existing ‘‘G’’ circuit would
provide power to the 14 and 15
(Mainside) areas, O’Neil Housing, Camp
Day, and Range 409. Existing ‘‘H’’
circuit would provide power to the 23
(MCAS CP) and 24 (Pico) areas. The
project would provide replacement 12
kV circuits for the existing ‘‘A,’’ ‘‘C,’’
‘‘E,’’ ‘‘F,’’ ‘‘G,’’ and ‘‘H’’ circuits and
would provide new circuits to supply
power to 21 Area (Del Mar) and the 31
Area (Edson Range and Assault Craft
Unit-5). Overhead distribution lines
would include aluminum core steel
reinforced wire and both 45-foot and 70foot tall wood poles, with crossarms and
insulators. Underground distribution
lines would include copper insulation,
4 to 6-inch polyvinyl chloride conduit,
trenching, pavement cutting, utility
vault placement, conduit placement,
grounding, concrete encasement, and
asphalt pavement patching.
Alternative Alignment—Similar to the
alternative for P–1048, the alternative
for P–1094 would be to underground the
proposed electrical lines.
Wastewater Facilities, Roadway
Improvements, and Shoot House
Construction and Expansion (MILCON
P–1049)
P–1049 would construct
approximately 20,000 LF of potable
water and sanitary sewer utilities,
including new sewer lines, manholes,
cleanouts, and a lift station, to better
house and train Marines at the Range
130 Complex in the X-Ray Training
Area. P–1049 would also include
approximately 3 miles of roadway
improvements, including 10-inch base
material, track mix asphalt surface
course, and culverts at established
drainage points. Other facilities
proposed include a 2,500-square-foot
shoot house and a 24,000-square-foot
covered small arms range. The project
would also enlarge an existing covered
small arms range to approximately
34,000 square feet.
Alternative Alignment—This
alignment would extend from the
preferred alignment along the main
access road to Range 130, west to the
pump station in the 41 Area instead of
continuing along the main access road
southwest to Stuart Mesa Road. This
would reduce the overall pipe length by
approximately 3,000 LF.
Communication Upgrades
(MILCON P–1093)
P–1093 would provide both
intercamp and intracamp fiber-optic
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
66881
cable and telephone cable connections.
This project would provide a redundant
communications network by providing a
minimum of two separate
communication line paths to each area
on the Base.
Alternatives—Potential alternatives
for P–1099 include placing all
communication lines overhead. Another
alternative to be addressed would
include the use of wireless
communication instead of landline
communication.
Natural Gas System Upgrades
(MILCON P–1099)
P–1099 installs new high pressure 6
inch High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
gas mains in four separate locations: (1)
Approximately 15,000 LF from 62 (San
Mateo) Area to 63 (Christainitos) Area
and to 64 (Talega) Area (currently the 63
and 64 Cantonment Areas are only
supplied by propane gas storage tanks),
(2) approximately 30,000 LF from 41
Area to 43 Area, (3) approximately
30,000 LF from 43 Area to 25 Area
(interconnecting the southern and
northern natural gas systems, and (4)
approximately 15,000 LF from the Naval
Hospital to the Headquarters Area
(providing the Naval Hospital with
back-up source of natural gas).
Construction would consist of saw
cutting existing asphalt concrete
pavement, trench excavation, and
installation of new HDPE pipe including
fittings, etc. P–1099 would also include
patching of existing pavement and
related roadway lane striping and traffic
control.
Alternative Alignment—The
alternative alignment for P–1099 would
extend the proposed natural gas the line
from the Naval Hospital east through
undeveloped land directly to De Luz
Road.
Preliminary Alternatives
The EIS will address the proposed
utility alignments, alternative utility
segment alignments, and alternative
alignment installation (aboveground,
underground) as briefly discussed
above. In addition, alternative
technologies, including multiple smaller
systems; and the No Action Alternative

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Navy
Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for
Basewide Utility Infrastructure Improvements at Marine Corps Base (MCB)
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, CA
AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(2)(c) of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)), as
implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR
parts 1500-1508), the Department of the Navy intends to prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS) and conduct a public scoping
meeting for the proposed construction, installation, and operation of
multiple utility infrastructure improvements throughout MCB Camp
Pendleton in San Diego County, California.
DATES: The Department of the Navy will review all comments received
during the 30-day public scoping period, which starts with the
publication of this Notice of Intent. The public scoping meeting will
be held in the San Clemente Community Center, 100 North Calle Seville,
San Clemente, California, 92672 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on December 10,
2008.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on the scope of the MCB Camp Pendleton
Basewide Utility Infrastructure Improvements EIS should be directed to:
Ms. Rebecca Loomis, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest,
1220 Pacific Highway, San Diego, California, 92132.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Rebecca Loomis, Naval Facilities
Engineering Command Southwest at telephone: 619-532-3728, fax: 619-532-
4160, or e-mail: rebecca.l.loomis@navy.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the proposed action is to
provide reliable, new, expanded, compliant utility systems to support
Military Training and Operations and delivery of life support and
quality of life services. The proposed action will also provide system
redundancy that will enable the delivery of utility services during
periods of scheduled and unscheduled/emergency outages. The proposed
action is needed to modernize and expand Camp Pendleton's aging (1940s/
50s era) utility systems and infrastructure in order to:
[[Page 66880]]
(1) Sustain compliance with current and future regulatory and code
requirements, (2) provide reliable services and alternate sources for
planned maintenance and unscheduled repairs, and to assure availability
during periods of emergency and natural disaster, (3) conserve and
effectively manage resources, and (4) accommodate current and potential
future growth at MCB Camp Pendleton. The proposed action consists of
eight projects, which are discussed below.
Northern Regional Tertiary Treatment Plant (NRTTP) and Associated
Facilities (MILCON P-1043)
P-1043 would construct a 5-million-gallon per day NRTTP and sludge
treatment facility near the location of existing Sewage Treatment Plant
(STP) 11. This project consolidates and replaces the existing Sewage
Treatment Plants (STP) 10, 11, and 12 and would treat raw sewage from
the associated collection system and conveyance lines. In order to
accomplish this, the project would include modification or reuse of the
existing headworks facilities at STPs 10, 11, and 12; a new sewer
conveyance line from STP 12 in San Mateo (62 Area) to the new NRTTP;
lift stations, and the conversion of STP 12 to a Tributary Area Pump
Station (TAPS). The new NRTTP will include various sewage treatment
components within the plant compound such as: an influent pump station,
sludge treatment and handling facilities, preliminary treatment
facilities, secondary treatment facilities, advanced (tertiary)
wastewater treatment facilities, chemical storage and feed systems,
odor control facilities, and a 4,600-square-foot operations facility.
Some demolition may be required as part of the conversion of STPs 10,
11, and 12 to TAPS.
P-1043 would construct approximately 36,000 linear feet (LF) of
wastewater main lines sized from 8 to 15 inches in diameter. The
project would begin in Talega (64 Area) and would continue through
Cristianitos (63 Area) to the proposed TAPS 12 at San Mateo (62 Area).
The project would provide new wastewater lines to replace the existing
wastewater lines from the San Onofre Housing area to the proposed
NRTTP. A new wastewater line would also replace the existing wastewater
line from Horno (53 Area) through the School of Infantry (52 Area) to
the proposed NRTTP. The project would also construct approximately
70,000 LF of pipeline from the NRTTP to convey recycled water to
selected reuse areas in Talega (64 Area). The project would include new
Reuse Pump Stations, a 2-million-gallon NRTTP reuse water storage
facility, and backflow preventors to prevent any cross connections
between the potable and wastewater systems.
Alternatives--The alternative for P-1043 would be an alternative
alignment from San Mateo (62 Area) to STP 11. This alignment would
extend the line from STP/TAPS 12 south along Coast Road, east of the
northern agriculture fields and to Basilone Road, and then east along
Basilone Road to STP 11. This alignment would follow the alignment for
P-1045 discussed below. Also, the use of Horizontal Directional
Drilling (HDD) for passing under San Mateo Creek will also be
considered as a feasible technology. This will be compared to more
standard pipe laying construction methods such as trenching and
backfilling.
Advanced Water Treatment (AWT) North and Associated Facilities (MILCON
P-1044)
P-1044 would construct AWT facilities to serve the northern region
of MCB Camp Pendleton to provide a reduction of total dissolved solids,
total organic carbon, and corrosivity. Construction would include a
Granulated Activated Carbon/Reverse Osmosis facility and associated
Brine Disposal System. Micro-filtration system is used for water
treatment. The Brine Disposal System would connect the Reverse Osmosis
module and would include a brine/slurry dilution facility, brine line
pump station, and pipeline to an ocean outfall at San Onofre Nuclear
Generating Station (SONGS). The project would also construct wellhead
collection points with associated piping and pumps and an 800-square-
foot operations facility. P-1044 would construct approximately 59,000
LF of main water lines, with pipelines ranging in size from 10 to 14
inches in diameter for potable water conveyance in the northern region
of MCB Camp Pendleton. The new lines would connect into the new AWT
Facility North. The line would begin at the AWT facility in the San
Onofre Housing Cantonment area and continue to Horno (53 Area). A
second water line would link Talega (64 Area) to San Mateo (62 Area).
The project would include three pump stations with emergency
generators, asphalt patches, and connection to existing reservoirs and
distribution system. Potable water loops, 8-inch in diameter would be
installed within each cantonment and housing area totaling
approximately 21,000 LF of piping.
Alternative--Alternatives would include consideration of multiple
independent raw water treatment facilities and feasible treatment
technologies located within multiple cantonment areas instead of
consolidated regional treatment plants.
Connection of North and South Water Systems (MILCON P-1045)
P-1045 would construct approximately 90,000 LF of potable
waterlines sized approximately 36 inches in diameter to connect the
northern and southern water systems of MCB Camp Pendleton. A water line
would begin at the proposed AWT Facility (P-1044), extend past the
SONGS Mesa facility, and then continue along the east side of
Interstate 5 (I-5) before crossing San Onofre Creek. The line would
travel south along Stuart Mesa Road, cross the Santa Margarita River,
and then would connect to the southern water system at the intersection
of Stuart Mesa Road and Vandegrift Boulevard. The project would also
include three pump stations at the north, central, and south portions
of the Base to connect Las Pulgas, Las Flores, and the Stuart Mesa
areas to the South Water System.
Alternative Alignment--This alternative alignment would begin at
the proposed AWT facilities (P-1044) and extend east along Basilone
Road (instead of El Camino Real) to Las Pulgas Road and then south on
Las Pulgas Road to Stuart Mesa Road. At Stuart Mesa Road the alignment
would follow the same alignment of the proposed action to the
connection of the southern system at the corner of Stuart Mesa Road and
Vandegrift Boulevard. Also, the project would consider the use of
approximately 7,000 LF of HDD beneath San Onofre Creek and the Santa
Margarita River.
Upgrades to Electrical Systems and Associated Facilities (MILCON P-
1048)
P-1048 would construct a 69 kilovolt (kV) electrical transmission
system that will provide a more efficient and reliable transmission
method, system redundancy and energy cost savings. The 69 KV system
will meet industry standard for long distance delivery of power and
provide capability to back feed all cantonment areas from a secondary
source during blackouts caused by wildfires, other natural disasters,
and/or systems failure. The project would construct four new 69 kV
substations located (1) at the existing Haybarn Canyon location, (2)
near the intersection of Pulgas Road and Stuart Mesa Road, (3) in the
vicinity of the SONGS, and (4) in the general area of the intersection
of Cristianitos Road and San Mateo Road. The first three substations
would connect to existing
[[Page 66881]]
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) 69 kV lines. The fourth substation
would convert the proposed MCB Camp Pendleton 69 kV line to the
existing MCB Camp Pendleton 12 kV system. The project would provide
distribution of electrical power through four different connecting
segments. The first segment (Haybarn segment) would include a new 69 kV
overhead distribution line with a 12 kV line running on the same
utility poles. These lines would connect the proposed Substation
1 to Range 409. For the second segment, the 69 kV distribution
line would extend underground (to avoid conflicts with aircraft
training and safety) through Range 409 to resurface in the eastern
portion of the Base. For the third segment, the 69 kV distribution line
would continue overhead along the eastern and northern Base boundaries
following the SDG&E 230 kV transmission lines, proceed down
Cristianitos Road and connect to the proposed Substation 4,
and continue to I-5. The line would parallel I-5 toward the proposed
Substation 3 located in the vicinity of SONGS, completing the
northern loop. For the fourth segment, the final 69 kV overhead power
line would extend from the proposed Substation 2 and follow
Pulgas Road with a 69 kV and 12 kV distribution line on the same
utility pole. At Las Pulgas (43 Area), only the 69 kV line would
continue south along Basilone Road to Roblar Road to connect to the
Haybarn line, completing the southern loop.
Alternative Alignment--The alternative to P-1048 would be to
underground all four electrical line segments. Under the proposed
action only the segment through Range 409 is proposed to be
underground.
MILCON P-1094
P-1094 would replace the existing 12 kV electrical distribution
systems currently fed from the Haybarn substation, and the 4.16 kV
subsystems fed from the 12 kV distribution system. The project would
construct a total of 8 new 12 kV circuits, which would be fed from the
new 69 kV substation (P-1048), to provide approximately 60 percent of
the electrical power for MCB Camp Pendleton. Existing ``A'' circuit
provides power to the 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 (Mainside) areas of MCB
Camp Pendleton. Existing ``C'' circuit would provide power to the 23
(Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton (MCAS CP)), 25 Vado del Rio),
32 (MASS-3), and 33 (Margarita) areas. Existing ``E'' circuit would
provide power to the 20 (Main Gate), 22 (Chappo), and 26 (at the bottom
of Rattlesnake Canyon Rd) areas and would also provide power to the
housing areas at Wire Mountain. Existing ``F'' circuit would provide
power to the 26 Area and the Naval Hospital. Existing ``G'' circuit
would provide power to the 14 and 15 (Mainside) areas, O'Neil Housing,
Camp Day, and Range 409. Existing ``H'' circuit would provide power to
the 23 (MCAS CP) and 24 (Pico) areas. The project would provide
replacement 12 kV circuits for the existing ``A,'' ``C,'' ``E,'' ``F,''
``G,'' and ``H'' circuits and would provide new circuits to supply
power to 21 Area (Del Mar) and the 31 Area (Edson Range and Assault
Craft Unit-5). Overhead distribution lines would include aluminum core
steel reinforced wire and both 45-foot and 70-foot tall wood poles,
with crossarms and insulators. Underground distribution lines would
include copper insulation, 4 to 6-inch polyvinyl chloride conduit,
trenching, pavement cutting, utility vault placement, conduit
placement, grounding, concrete encasement, and asphalt pavement
patching.
Alternative Alignment--Similar to the alternative for P-1048, the
alternative for P-1094 would be to underground the proposed electrical
lines.
Wastewater Facilities, Roadway Improvements, and Shoot House
Construction and Expansion (MILCON P-1049)
P-1049 would construct approximately 20,000 LF of potable water and
sanitary sewer utilities, including new sewer lines, manholes,
cleanouts, and a lift station, to better house and train Marines at the
Range 130 Complex in the X-Ray Training Area. P-1049 would also include
approximately 3 miles of roadway improvements, including 10-inch base
material, track mix asphalt surface course, and culverts at established
drainage points. Other facilities proposed include a 2,500-square-foot
shoot house and a 24,000-square-foot covered small arms range. The
project would also enlarge an existing covered small arms range to
approximately 34,000 square feet.
Alternative Alignment--This alignment would extend from the
preferred alignment along the main access road to Range 130, west to
the pump station in the 41 Area instead of continuing along the main
access road southwest to Stuart Mesa Road. This would reduce the
overall pipe length by approximately 3,000 LF.
Communication Upgrades (MILCON P-1093)
P-1093 would provide both intercamp and intracamp fiber-optic cable
and telephone cable connections. This project would provide a redundant
communications network by providing a minimum of two separate
communication line paths to each area on the Base.
Alternatives--Potential alternatives for P-1099 include placing all
communication lines overhead. Another alternative to be addressed would
include the use of wireless communication instead of landline
communication.
Natural Gas System Upgrades (MILCON P-1099)
P-1099 installs new high pressure 6 inch High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE) gas mains in four separate locations: (1) Approximately 15,000
LF from 62 (San Mateo) Area to 63 (Christainitos) Area and to 64
(Talega) Area (currently the 63 and 64 Cantonment Areas are only
supplied by propane gas storage tanks), (2) approximately 30,000 LF
from 41 Area to 43 Area, (3) approximately 30,000 LF from 43 Area to 25
Area (interconnecting the southern and northern natural gas systems,
and (4) approximately 15,000 LF from the Naval Hospital to the
Headquarters Area (providing the Naval Hospital with back-up source of
natural gas). Construction would consist of saw cutting existing
asphalt concrete pavement, trench excavation, and installation of new
HDPE pipe including fittings, etc. P-1099 would also include patching
of existing pavement and related roadway lane striping and traffic
control.
Alternative Alignment--The alternative alignment for P-1099 would
extend the proposed natural gas the line from the Naval Hospital east
through undeveloped land directly to De Luz Road.
Preliminary Alternatives
The EIS will address the proposed utility alignments, alternative
utility segment alignments, and alternative alignment installation
(aboveground, underground) as briefly discussed above. In addition,
alternative technologies, including multiple smaller systems; and the
No Action Alternative will be addressed.
