Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 48130 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 164 / Friday, August 27, 2021 / Notices approximately 2,405 acres and is located between the northern dudded impact area and the Installation’s eastern boundary. The Army also analyzed the No Action Alternative in detail. While the No Action Alternative would not satisfy the purpose of or need for the Proposed Action, it was retained to provide a comparative baseline against which to analyze the effects of the Action Alternatives as required under the Council on Environmental Quality’s NEPA Regulations. During formal consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Army determined that potential moderate adverse impacts on the federally listed red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) would occur primarily from removal of clusters and habitat during HOMMTA construction, resulting in up to 11 ‘‘incidental takes.’’ The HOMMTA Biological Opinion, however, reached the conclusion that the Army can reduce those potential adverse impacts through mitigation, and implementation of the HOMMTA with Alternative 1 would not jeopardize recovery of the RCW. Potential impacts to Unique Ecological Areas, a subcomponent of biological resources, may be significant if they cannot be fully avoided with implementation of Alternative 1. No other resource is anticipated to experience significant adverse impacts. Based on the analysis presented in the Final EIS, the No Action Alternative is the Environmentally Preferred Alternative. Of the Action Alternatives, Alternative 2 is the Environmentally Preferred Alternative. Considering potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts, national defense needs, Fort Benning’s mission requirements, and the purpose of and need for the Proposed Action, however, the Army has selected Alternative 1 (i.e., the Army’s Preferred Alternative) to implement the Proposed Action. The Army determined that Alternative 1 strikes a proper balance between providing environmental protection and achieving the Army’s training requirements. The Army received several comments during the Final EIS waiting period. The Army took these comments into account in making its decision; however, the comments do not present information that constitutes significant new circumstances or information relevant to environmental concerns that would require supplementation of the EIS. The ROD formally adopts numerous mitigation measures that the Army will implement to reduce potential adverse environmental impacts under VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:52 Aug 26, 2021 Jkt 253001 Alternative 1. All practicable means to avoid or minimize environmental harm from the Selected Alternative have been adopted. Mitigation measures that the Army considered but does not adopt at this time are listed in the Draft Mitigation and Monitoring Plan in the Final EIS with explanations of why those mitigation measures were considered not practical or necessary. An electronic copy of the ROD is posted on the HOMMTA EIS web page at https://www.benning.army.mil/ Garrison/DPW/EMD/HOMMTA. Additionally, interested parties may contact Mr. John Brown (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) to request a printed copy. Publication of the ROD formally concludes the NEPA planning process for this Proposed Action, acknowledging that the Army will implement the adopted mitigation measures as identified in the ROD. The Army will implement Alternative 1, including all mitigation measures identified in the ROD, as described in the Final EIS. James W. Satterwhite, Jr., Army Federal Register Liaison Officer.
