Bureau of Prisons
Notice of Intent to Prepare a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for Development of a United States
Penitentiary (USP) and Federal Prison
Camp (FPC) by the U.S. Department of
Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons
(Bureau) on Land Under Consideration
for Development Located in Letcher
County, Kentucky
Federal Bureau of Prisons, U. S.
Department of Justice.
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS).
AGENCY:
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
Background
The Bureau was established in 1930
to provide more progressive and
humane care for federal inmates, to
professionalize the prison service, and
to ensure consistent and centralized
administration of federal prisons. The
mission of the United States (U.S.)
Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of
Prisons is to protect society by confining
offenders in the controlled
environments of prison and communitybased facilities that are safe, humane,
cost-efficient, and appropriately secure,
and that provide work and other selfimprovement opportunities to assist
offenders in becoming law-abiding
citizens. The Bureau accomplishes its
mission through the appropriate use of
community correction, detention, and
correctional facilities that are: Federallyowned and operated; Federally-owned
and non-Federally operated; and nonFederally owned and operated.
The federal inmate population has
grown continuously since the 1980s. In
1981, the federal inmate population
consisted of approximately 23,800
inmates. By 1986, the federal inmate
population had increased to about
38,700, a 63 percent increase. Growth
continued at a steady rate through the
1990s, and in 1998 the federal inmate
population had grown 280 percent,
reaching 108,000 inmates. As of March
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:54 Jul 25, 2013
Jkt 229001
30, 2013, the Bureau inmate population
reached 218,123; this includes 176,039
inmates being housed in 119 Bureau
institutions, 29,075 being housed in
privately-managed secure facilities, and
13,009 being housed in other contract
care. Of the 176,039 inmates housed in
Bureau institutions, 22,651 are highsecurity inmates. The Bureau houses
these 22,651 high-security inmates in 19
USPs located throughout six regions
within the US: The Mid-Atlantic
Region; North Central Region; Northeast
Region; South Central Region; Southeast
Region; and Western Region. Each
region provides facilities for housing
inmates at all security levels. The 19
USPs are rated for a total capacity of
14,909 high-security inmates. Therefore,
the Bureau is currently 53 percent
overcrowded at their high-security
institutions and are operating at above
rated capacity for their USPs.
The inmate population is continuing
to grow throughout the regions and
security levels. To meet the current and
projected bed space needs, the Bureau
evaluates the bedspace needs of the
regions using a geographically balanced
program. When considering placement
of an individual the Bureau does
consider the origin of the inmate and
attempts to place the inmate in an
institution that is within the region of
the inmate’s origin. Placing inmates
within their region of origin provides
greater opportunity for visitation with
family, which aids in the rehabilitation
process.
Proposed Action
The proposed action being evaluated
in this Draft EIS is the acquisition of
property and the construction of a
federal correctional facility in Letcher
County, Kentucky. The Bureau proposes
to acquire approximately 800 acres of
land to construct a USP (approximately
61,654 square feet) and FPC
(approximately 6,063 square feet) in
Letcher County. Inmates housed in the
USP would be high-security male
inmates and those housed in the FPC
would be minimum security male
inmates. The facilities would house
approximately 1,200 total inmates
(approximately 1,088 within the USP
and approximately 128 within the FPC).
In addition to the USP and FPC, several
ancillary facilities necessary for the
operation of the USP and FPC would be
constructed.
These facilities include the following:
• Central Utility Plant—1,217 square
feet
• Firing Range—96 square feet
• Outside Warehouse—3,279 square
feet

• UNICOR Warehouse—1,375 square
feet
• Staff Training Building—910 square
feet
Operation of the USP and FPC would
employ approximately 300 full-time
staff.
The Process
The process of evaluating the
potential environmental impacts
associated with federal correctional
facility development and operation
involves the analysis of many factors
and features including, but not limited
to: Topography, geology, soils,
hydrology, biological resources, cultural
resources, hazardous materials, visual
and aesthetic features, fiscal
considerations, population/
employment/housing characteristics,
community services and facilities, land
uses, utility services, transportation
systems, air quality, and noise.
Alternatives
The No Action Alternative, other
actions considered, but not carried
forward, and alternative development
areas for the proposed USP and FPC
will be analyzed in this Draft EIS. The
proposed sites to be examined consist of
non-Bureau property near Whitesburg,
Letcher County, Kentucky.
Scoping Process
During the preparation of the Draft
EIS, there will be opportunities for
public involvement in order to
determine the issues to be examined.
The first opportunity will be during the
project scoping period which will begin
on July 26, 2013 with the publication of
the Notice of Intent to prepare a Draft
EIS in the Federal Register. Publication
in the Federal Register will begin the
30-day public scoping period, which
will end on August 26, 2013. During
this 30-day public scoping period, a
public Scoping Meeting will be held
between 5:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on
August 13, 2013 at the Letcher County
Central High School located at 435
Cougar Drive, Whitesburg, Kentucky.
The meeting location, date, and time
will be well publicized and has been
arranged to allow for the public, as well
as interested agencies and organizations
to attend. The meetings are being held
to allow interested persons to formally
express their views on the scope and
significant issues to be studied as part
of the EIS process. The Scoping Meeting
will provide for timely public comments
and understanding of federal plans and
programs with possible environmental
consequences as required by the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended, and the National
