Under the proposed action, the Army would dispose of the parcel, known as Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) Parcel 20, and transfer it to the Jo- Carroll Depot LRA or other recipients for their reuse.

In 2020, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), and Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) issued the 2020 Columbia River System Operations Final Environmental Impact Statement (CRSO EIS; DOE/EIS-0529), which addressed the ongoing operations, maintenance, and configuration of fourteen Federal Columbia River System (CRS) multiple purpose dams and related facilities located throughout the Columbia River basin. The Corps and Reclamation (Co-Lead Agencies) intend to prepare a supplemental EIS to address environmental effects from proposed changes to the selected alternative in the CRSO EIS and new circumstances and information about the significance of adverse effects that arose or became available after completion of the CRSO EIS. Bonneville has not elected to serve as a co-lead agency for this SEIS and has instead expressed interest in participating as a cooperating agency.

The Department of the Army (Army) announces the availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) regarding its proposed action: to retain up to approximately 6,322 acres of land the Army currently leases from the State of Hawai`i. These lands are located on the island of O`ahu and comprise approximately 1,150 acres at Kahuku Training Area (KTA), approximately 4,390 acres at Kawailoa- Poamoho Training Area (Poamoho), and approximately 782 acres at Makua Military Reservation (MMR). The purpose of the proposed action is to retain these three areas for military training beyond the end of the current leases. The need for the proposed action is to maintain facilities for training by the Army and other Department of Defense organizations, as such training facilities are not available elsewhere in Hawai`i. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Hawai`i Environmental Policy Act (HEPA), the Draft EIS analyzes the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of a range of reasonable alternatives that meet the purpose of and need for the proposed action. The Draft EIS also analyzes the potential impacts of the No-Action Alternative, under which Army use of these lands would cease when the leases expire in 2029. Because the proposed retention involves state-owned lands, the EIS is a joint NEPA-HEPA document. The two public review processes run concurrently.

Because the proposed action involves State-owned land, the EIS is a joint NEPA-HEPA document; therefore, the public review process runs concurrently and meets both NEPA and HEPA requirements.

The U.S. Department of the Army (Army) announces the availability of a Draft Legislative Environmental Impact Statement (Draft LEIS) regarding a requested public land withdrawal in the vicinity of Highway 95 and Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the LEIS analyzes the potential environmental effects resulting from the withdrawal and reservation for military purposes of approximately 22,000 acres of public land managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM). If enacted into law by Congress, the withdrawal would add acreage to Yuma Proving Ground (YPG). The Army requires the additional land as a safety buffer for testing advanced air delivery technologies and aviation systems. An LEIS is being prepared for this proposed action because the withdrawal and reservation require congressional action.
