Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 58 / Friday, March 25, 2011 / Notices erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES • Jackson Parish Correctional Center. Located on approximately 20 acres in Jonesboro, Louisiana. • Pine Prairie Correctional Center. Located on an approximately 15 acre parcel in Pine Prairie, Louisiana. • Jack Harwell Detention Center. Located on an approximately 20 acre parcel in Waco, Texas. No other facilities are under consideration by the BOP Project Information Pursuant to Section 102, 42 U.S.C. 4332, of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended and the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500– 1508), the BOP published an EA concerning a proposal to award one contract to house approximately 1,000 Iow-security, adult male, criminal aliens within one existing contractor-owned and contractor-operated correctional facility. Under the current solicitation, the BOP required that, prior to contract award, offerors provide information regarding past environmental activities and the environmental condition of the proposed sites and institutions. The EA, which is incorporated by reference describes the potential environmental impacts associated with the Action Alternatives, as well as the No Action Alternative. The stated purpose and need was the provision of approximately 1,000 beds although the overall system need is far greater. The document describes baseline environmental conditions, including the natural and human environments, addresses potential environmental impacts of the No Action Alternative and Action Alternatives, and includes appropriate mitigation measures. Further, as required by the solicitation, the BOP has taken several steps regarding offerors environmental documentation. First, the BOP has independently evaluated and verified the accuracy of the offerors environmental documentation. Second, the BOP has given greater consideration to the proposal which represents the preferred alternative. Third, the BOP reserved the right to eliminate proposals based on the adequacy of the documentation provided by the offeror(s) or the potential impact to the quality of the human environment. Last, the BOP reserved the right to disclose or make public any environmental documentation or other environmental information. An impact analysis of the alternatives was prepared as part of the EA. The analysis evaluated natural, cultural, and socioeconomic impacts of the Proposed VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:16 Mar 24, 2011 Jkt 223001 Action for each of the Action Alternatives. The analysis included the environmental information provided by the offerors, as well as site visits. The BOP published the EA on January 28, 2011 and published a Notice of Availability (NOA) in the Federal Register and in local newspapers associated with each of the five proposed alternative locations. The NOA provided a 30-day public comment period which began on January 28, 2011 and ended on February 28, 2011. The BOP also distributed copies of the EA to federal, state and local officials, resource agencies, and other interested parties. No comments were received regarding the EA during the 30-day comment period. However, the BOP did receive a letter from an individual after the end of the comment period containing several comments related to the Lee Adjustment Center alternative in Beattyville, Kentucky. Although this comment letter was received after the comment period ended, the BOP reviewed and considered comments on the Lee Adjustment Center alternative in the NEPA process. The Limestone County Detention Center in Groesbeck, Texas is the selected alternative that best meets BOP’s needs and has no significant impact on the human, natural or cultural environment. Mitigation for the project is not required due to the lack of impacts to natural, cultural, and socioeconomic resources. Implementation of the proposed action at the Limestone County Detention Center in conjunction with past, present, or reasonably foreseeable future actions, is not anticipated to result in major adverse cumulative impacts to natural, cultural or socioeconomic resources in the area. Availability of Finding of No Significant Impact Pursuant to the requirements of the NEPA and subsequent guidelines for preparing environmental documents, including 40 CFR 1506.5(b), the BOP has conducted its own evaluation of the environmental issues and takes responsibility for the scope and content of the EA prepared for New Low Security Beds, January 2011. The BOP has determined that the selected action does not significantly impact the quality of the human environment. The FONSI and other information regarding the proposed action are available upon request by contacting: Richard A. Cohn, Chief, or Issac J.
