opportunities necessary for this Brigade
to attain and sustain certification.
Since the 1940s, units stationed at
Fort Richardson have conducted their
live-fire munitions training at the Eagle
River Flats Impact Area, the only
permanent impact area on post.
Training with a variety of highexplosive weapons continued at this
location until the discovery in 1990 that
white phosphorus (a substance
contained in certain Army munitions)
deposited into Eagle River Flats was
causing large-scale mortality of dabbling
waterfowl (e.g., ducks and swans).
USARAK took several actions to address
this situation. First, all firing at the
Eagle River Flats Impact Area was
suspended. Second, an Environmental
Assessment to examine alternatives for
resumption of firing was prepared—an
analysis that led to the current ‘‘winter
only’’ firing regimen. These restrictions
are still in effect today and permit
indirect live-fire at the Eagle River Flats
Impact Area only when the ice is
sufficiently thick to eliminate the risk of
disturbing any underlying white
phosphorus particles. Because of these
restrictions, Fort Richardson units travel
great distances to train elsewhere,
resulting in deployment hardships on
Soldiers and their Families, and
additional annual expenditures
associated with travel to distant
facilities to conduct training. Third,
USARAK supported a major
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) remediation effort to
eliminate white phosphorus from the
local ecosystem. Active CERCLA
cleanup at Eagle River Flats is
scheduled for completion early in 2010.
In addition to consideration of a No
Action Alternative (continued use of the
Eagle River Flats Impact Area under a
‘‘winter only’’ firing regimen), the DEIS
analyzed two alternatives as possible
scenarios for the resumption of a year
round live-fire training opportunity at
Fort Richardson: (1) Year-round use of
the Eagle River Flats Impact Area and
(2) the development of a new explosive
munitions impact area on Fort
Richardson. USARAK has identified
resumption of year-round live-fire
training at the Eagle River Flats Impact
Area as its preferred alternative.
The DEIS is available for public
review at local libraries and at https://

NEPA_home.htm. Comments from the
public will be considered before any
final decision is made. The Army plans
to hold public meetings in Anchorage
and Eagle River to provide information
on the DEIS and to provide
opportunities for public comment. In
