Jkt 223001
the Department of the Navy (DoN) with
the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) acting as a cooperating agency,
has prepared and filed the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
evaluating the potential environmental
consequences associated with the
disposal and reuse of Naval Air Station
(NAS) Brunswick, Maine. The DoN is
required to close NAS Brunswick per
Public Law 101–510, the Defense Base
Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as
amended in 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoN
acting as a lead agency with the FAA
acting as a cooperating agency had
prepared and filed the Notice of Intent
for the EIS, published in the Federal
Register on October 24, 2008, and the
Draft EIS published in the Federal
Register on May 5, 2010, in accordance
with requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969 (42 U.S.C. Sections 4321–4345)
and its implementing regulations (40
CFR Parts 1500–1508). The purpose of
the proposed action is to dispose of
NAS Brunswick, Maine in a manner
consistent with the Brunswick Naval
Air Station Reuse Master Plan as
developed by the Brunswick Local
Redevelopment Authority (BLRA) in
December 2007. The DoN is required to
close NAS Brunswick, Maine in
accordance with Public Law 101–510,
the Defense Base closure and
Realignment Act of 1990, as amended in
2005. NAS Brunswick must be closed
on or before September 15, 2011. This
EIS has indentified and considered two
alternatives for the disposal and reuse of
NAS Brunswick, and the no-action
alternative.
Alternative 1 includes the disposal of
NAS Brunswick and its outlying
properties by the DoN and its reuse in
a manner consistent with the Brunswick
Naval Air Station Reuse Master Plan.
This alternative would maintain the
existing airfield for private aviation
purposes. It is anticipated that full
build-out of the Plan would be
implemented over a 20-year period. The
Brunswick Naval Air Station Reuse
Master Plan calls for the development of
approximately 1,630 acres (51%) of the
total base property. In addition,
approximately 1,570 acres (49%) of the
base would be dedicated to a variety of
active and passive land uses, including
recreation, open space, and natural
PO 00000

areas. The plan reuses the existing
airfield and its supporting
infrastructure, provides a mix of land
use types and densities, and preserves
open space and natural areas. The DoN
has recognized Alternative 1 as the
preferred alternative.
Alternative 2 includes the disposal of
NAS Brunswick and its outlying
properties by the DoN and its reuse in
a manner that features a higher density
of residential and community mixed-use
development and does not include reuse
of the airfield. Similar to Alternative 1,
this alternative includes a mix of land
use types, preserves open space and
natural areas. It is anticipated that full
build-out of the high-density scenario
would be implemented over a 20-year
period. Under Alternative 2 there would
be development of approximately 1,580
acres (49%) of the total base property.
In addition, approximately 1,620 acres
(51%) of the base would be dedicated to
a variety of active and passive land uses,
including recreation, open space, and
natural areas. Although this alternative
would have less developable acres than
Alternative 1, the density of residential
and community mixed-uses would be
higher.
Alternative 3 is required by NEPA and
evaluates the impacts at NAS Brunswick
in the event that the property is not
disposed. Under this alternative,
existing mission and support operations
would be relocated; however, the
installation would be retained by the
U.S. government in caretaker status. No
reuse or redevelopment would occur at
the facility. The Final EIS addresses
environmental impacts of each
alternative pertaining to the disposal
and reuse of the NAS Brunswick
property.
The Final EIS addresses any potential
environmental impacts under each
alternative associated with: water
resources; air quality; biological
resources; soils, topography, and
geology; land use; noise exposure levels;
socioeconomic resources; community
facilities; transportation; environmental
management; infrastructure; and
cultural resources. The analyses
includes direct and indirect impacts,
and accounts for cumulative impacts
from other foreseen Federal, State, or
local activities at and around NAS
Brunswick. The Final EIS has been
distributed to various Federal, State,
and local agencies, as well as other
interested individuals and
organizations. In addition, copies of the
Final EIS have been distributed to the
following libraries and publicly
accessible facilities for public review:
1. Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant
Street, Brunswick, ME 04011–2261.
