DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Navy
Notice of Public Meetings for the
Proposed Naval Base Coronado
Coastal Campus Draft Environmental
Impact Statement, California
Department of the Navy, DoD.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 and regulations
implemented by the Council on
Environmental Quality (40 Code of
Federal Regulations parts 1500–1508),
the Department of the Navy (DoN) has
prepared and filed with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) evaluating the potential
environmental effects of constructing,
operating, and maintaining an academic
campus on Naval Base Coronado (NBC)
to support the operational readiness of
Naval Special Warfare Command
(NSWC) personnel.
With the filing of the Draft EIS, the
DoN is initiating a 60-day public
comment period beginning on July 25,
2014 and ending on September 22,
2014. During this period, the DoN will
conduct two public meetings to receive
oral and written comments on the Draft
EIS. This notice announces the dates
and locations of the public meetings and

not be accepted through social media.
Written comments on the Draft EIS
should be postmarked or received
(online) no later than September 22,

For Mailing Written Comments and
Further Information Contact: NBC
Coastal Campus EIS Project Manager
(Attn: Ms. Teresa Bresler), 2730 McKean
Street, Building 291, San Diego,
California 92136.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice
of Intent to prepare this Draft EIS was
published in the Federal Register on
June 29, 2012 (77 FR 38781). Scoping
meetings were held on July 17 and 18,
2012. The scoping period concluded on
August 14, 2012, following a 15-day
extension of the scoping period that was
announced on July 31, 2012 (77 FR
45345). Comments received during the
public scoping period were considered
during preparation of the Draft EIS.
The proposed NBC Coastal Campus
would involve the construction,
operation, and maintenance of an
academic campus at Silver Strand
Training Complex-South (SSTC-South),
San Diego, California. The proposed
campus would be comprised of 1.5
million square feet of space to include
a mix of instructional and
administrative facilities supporting
logistics, operations, training, and
administration. Implementation of the
proposed action would occur over a 10year period.
The purpose of this action is to: (1)
Provide logistics and operational
support buildings, classrooms, storage
and administrative facilities to
accommodate growth of NSWC on the
west coast; and, (2) maintain
Congressionally-mandated increased
training and operational readiness
requirements for NSWC. However, the
current NSWC operational support,
classroom and tactical skills instruction
and administrative facilities, primarily
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:34 Jul 24, 2014
Jkt 232001
located at Naval Amphibious Base
(NAB) Coronado, are inadequate to meet
mission requirements. Moreover,
expansion potential at that location is
limited. Therefore, the proposed action
would meet the needs of NSWC by
optimizing the use of space within the
existing NBC footprint, thereby allowing
NSWC to support fluctuating
organizational structure and mandated
mission requirements.
In addition to the no action
alternative, three development
alternatives are evaluated in the Draft
EIS. Alternative 1 (SSTC-South Bunker
Demolition Alternative) would
consolidate NSWC facilities at one
location on SSTC-South. This
alternative would include design and
construction of logistical support
buildings, equipment use and
maintenance training facilities,
classroom and tactical skills instruction
buildings, storage and administrative
facilities, utilities, fencing, roads, and
parking. A new controlled entry point
would provide immediate access to/
from State Route 75 and a historic
bunker would be demolished to
facilitate campus construction.
Alternative 2 (SSTC-South Bunker
Retention Alternative) would include all
the components of Alternative 1 within
the same footprint but would include
retention of the historic bunker, thereby
resulting in a smaller developable
footprint. Alternative 3 (MultiInstallation Alternative) would site
necessary NSWC facilities at more than
one location to include NAB Coronado
and Naval Air Station North Island, in
addition to SSTC-South. This
alternative would include retention of
the historic bunker similar to
Alternative 2.
The Draft EIS contains a
comprehensive analysis of the potential
environmental impacts of the Proposed
Action, including impacts on land use
and recreation, geology and soils, air
quality, hazardous materials and waste,
water quality and hydrology, noise,
biological resources, cultural resources,
traffic and circulation, socioeconomics
and environmental justice, public health
and safety, utilities and public services,
coastal uses and resources, and
aesthetics.
The Draft EIS was distributed to
Federal, state, and local agencies,
elected officials, and other interested
individuals and organizations. Copies of
the Draft EIS are available for public
review at the following libraries:
1. Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange
Avenue, Coronado, California 92118.
