The Army selected a program of
training infrastructure and range
improvement, along with new uses for
its Western Training Area (WTA). The
ROD also determined that the Army will
request that Congress renew the
withdrawal of 110,000 acres of Fort
Irwin training land, which consists of
public land withdrawn from all types of
appropriation and reserved for military
purposes. The Army considered public
comments received during the LEIS
process. The ROD completes the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) process for the action.
ADDRESSES: Questions and requests for
copies of the ROD should be directed to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Army
based its decision on the analysis
contained in the Final LEIS, which
addressed the Army’s mission needs
and the effects of the Army’s action on
the human environment at Fort Irwin,
CA. The LEIS analyzed the effects of the
proposed alternatives, issues of concern,
and the comments provided during
scoping and the public review period.
The Army determined the selected
alternative most closely achieves the
purpose of and need for the proposed
action while maintaining a high level of
environmental stewardship. The Army
determined that with implementation of
the mitigation adopted in the ROD,
there would be no significant adverse
effects to the environment from any of
the considered alternatives.
The Army will implement a program
of training area and range improvements
and will execute new training in Fort
Irwin’s WTA. This new training in the
WTA includes high- intensity, fullscale, brigade-level maneuvers, with
unrestricted ammunition use. Dudproducing munitions may be fired from
the WTA, but no dud-producing
munitions would be deliberately fired to
impact in the WTA. The selected
alternative also includes improvements
to the Manix Trail, which takes training
units to and from Fort Irwin and Marine
Corps Logistics Base Barstow.
