Notice of Availability (NOA).
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Executive Director of the
Army’s Installation Management
Command (IMCOM) has reviewed the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for implementing Army GTA
decisions at Fort Lewis and YTC and
has made the decision to proceed with
implementing the Preferred Alternative
for the Proposed Action. The Preferred
Alternative has several components that

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

consist of stationing up to 1,900
Soldiers at Fort Lewis to implement
GTA stationing decisions, the potential
stationing of up to approximately 1,000
additional combat service support (CSS)
Soldiers, and the potential stationing of
a Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) of up
to 2,800 Soldiers. If all stationing
components are implemented, the
Preferred Alternative would station up
to 5,700 Soldiers, along with their
Families, at Fort Lewis. Soldiers
stationed at Fort Lewis as part of this
decision would train at Fort Lewis and
YTC. This alternative is summarized in
the Army’s ROD and described fully in
Chapter 2 of the FEIS.
ADDRESSES: Questions or comments
regarding the ROD should be forwarded
to: Directorate of Public Works,
Attention: Environmental (Mr. Paul T.
Steucke, Jr.), Building 2012 Liggett
Avenue, Box 339500 MS 17, Joint Base
Lewis-McChord, WA 98433–9500.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Bill Van Hoesen, Joint Base LewisMcChord National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) Coordinator, at (253)
966–1780 during normal business
hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ROD
incorporates analyses contained in the
FEIS, including comments provided
during formal comment and review
periods. The ROD discusses the ability
of each alternative to meet the Purpose
and Need for the Proposed Action and
outlines environmental mitigation
commitments the Army will implement
as part of this decision. The preferred
alternative was selected as it is best able
to meet the Army’s mission training and
operational requirements while
supporting the Army’s responsibility for
protecting and sustaining the
environment. The stationing of CSS
units and/or a CAB are actions that the
Army may implement in the future.
Currently, the Army is completing a
programmatic environmental analysis of
suitable installations for CAB stationing
that may result in the assignment of
additional aviation units at Fort Lewis.
As part of that CAB stationing
evaluation, the Army considered the
stationing of a full CAB equivalent of
Soldiers and equipment; however,
consideration is being given to
stationing approximately half that total
(up to 1,400 new Soldiers and their
equipment). This more limited CAB
stationing would provide a CAB training
capability at Fort Lewis that would
complement Active Army aviation units
already stationed there. A final decision
on the CAB stationing will be made as
part of a separate decision process by
the Army.

This ROD documents the decision to
proceed with the stationing of 1,900
GTA Soldiers at Fort Lewis, and the
decision about where the facilities for
the CSS and CAB units could be located
on the installation, what and where the
training may be conducted, and what
impacts or effects are anticipated.
Construction and training to support
CSS and CAB stationing would proceed
in the future if the Army decided to
station all or some of these Soldiers at
Fort Lewis.
On February 1, 2010, Fort Lewis,
Yakima Training Center, and McChord
Air Force Base were designated a joint
base and renamed Joint Base LewisMcChord (JBLM); however, the terms
Fort Lewis, and Yakima Training Center
(YTC) are retained in the EIS and ROD
and will be used until the EIS process
is complete.
A rationale for the decision can be
found in the ROD which is available for
public review at https://
