DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Disposal and Reuse of Naval Air 

Station Brunswick, ME 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508), 

the Department of the Navy (DoN) with 

the Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) acting as a cooperating agency, 

has prepared and filed the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

evaluating the potential environmental 

consequences associated with the 

disposal and reuse of Naval Air Station 

(NAS) Brunswick, Maine. The DoN is 

required to close NAS Brunswick per 

Public Law 101–510, the Defense Base 

Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as 

amended in 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoN 

acting as a lead agency with the FAA 

acting as a cooperating agency had 

prepared and filed the Notice of Intent 

for the EIS, published in the Federal 

Register on October 24, 2008, and the 

Draft EIS published in the Federal 

Register on May 5, 2010, in accordance 

with requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. Sections 4321–4345) 

and its implementing regulations (40 

CFR Parts 1500–1508). The purpose of 

the proposed action is to dispose of 

NAS Brunswick, Maine in a manner 

consistent with the Brunswick Naval 

Air Station Reuse Master Plan as 

developed by the Brunswick Local 

Redevelopment Authority (BLRA) in 

December 2007. The DoN is required to 

close NAS Brunswick, Maine in 

accordance with Public Law 101–510, 

the Defense Base closure and 

Realignment Act of 1990, as amended in 

2005. NAS Brunswick must be closed 

on or before September 15, 2011. This 

EIS has indentified and considered two 

alternatives for the disposal and reuse of 

NAS Brunswick, and the no-action 

alternative. 

Alternative 1 includes the disposal of 

NAS Brunswick and its outlying 

properties by the DoN and its reuse in 

a manner consistent with the Brunswick 

Naval Air Station Reuse Master Plan. 

This alternative would maintain the 

existing airfield for private aviation 

purposes. It is anticipated that full 

build-out of the Plan would be 

implemented over a 20-year period. The 

Brunswick Naval Air Station Reuse 

Master Plan calls for the development of 

approximately 1,630 acres (51%) of the 

total base property. In addition, 

approximately 1,570 acres (49%) of the 

base would be dedicated to a variety of 

active and passive land uses, including 

recreation, open space, and natural 

areas. The plan reuses the existing 

airfield and its supporting 

infrastructure, provides a mix of land 

use types and densities, and preserves 

open space and natural areas. The DoN 

has recognized Alternative 1 as the 

preferred alternative. 

Alternative 2 includes the disposal of 

NAS Brunswick and its outlying 

properties by the DoN and its reuse in 

a manner that features a higher density 

of residential and community mixed-use 

development and does not include reuse 

of the airfield. Similar to Alternative 1, 

this alternative includes a mix of land 

use types, preserves open space and 

natural areas. It is anticipated that full 

build-out of the high-density scenario 

would be implemented over a 20-year 

period. Under Alternative 2 there would 

be development of approximately 1,580 

acres (49%) of the total base property. 

In addition, approximately 1,620 acres 

(51%) of the base would be dedicated to 

a variety of active and passive land uses, 

including recreation, open space, and 

natural areas. Although this alternative 

would have less developable acres than 

Alternative 1, the density of residential 

and community mixed-uses would be 

higher. 

Alternative 3 is required by NEPA and 

evaluates the impacts at NAS Brunswick 

in the event that the property is not 

disposed. Under this alternative, 

existing mission and support operations 

would be relocated; however, the 

installation would be retained by the 

U.S. government in caretaker status. No 

reuse or redevelopment would occur at 

the facility. The Final EIS addresses 

environmental impacts of each 

alternative pertaining to the disposal 

and reuse of the NAS Brunswick 

property. 

The Final EIS addresses any potential 

environmental impacts under each 

alternative associated with: water 

resources; air quality; biological 

resources; soils, topography, and 

geology; land use; noise exposure levels; 

socioeconomic resources; community 

facilities; transportation; environmental 

management; infrastructure; and 

cultural resources. The analyses 

includes direct and indirect impacts, 

and accounts for cumulative impacts 

from other foreseen Federal, State, or 

local activities at and around NAS 

Brunswick. The Final EIS has been 

distributed to various Federal, State, 

and local agencies, as well as other 

interested individuals and 

organizations. In addition, copies of the 

Final EIS have been distributed to the 

following libraries and publicly 

accessible facilities for public review: 

1. Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant 

Street, Brunswick, ME 04011–2261.
