Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 161 / Friday, August 21, 2009 / Notices 42289 

construct a dam and 2,040 acre lake on 

Yellow Creek in central Lamar County, 

Alabama, just north of the City of 

Vernon. The purpose of the proposed 

lake is for public water supply for 

Lamar County and the surrounding 

areas. Construction of the project as 

proposed would require impacts to 

approximately 1,660 acres of wetlands 

and 31.2 miles of streams. The project 

is in the initial stages of planning. 

2. Alternatives to the applicants’ 

proposals may exist which would 

reduce impacts to the surrounding 

aquatic environment. These could 

include, but are not restricted to: 

Considering alternate site locations for 

the lake, alternate site layouts that may 

have less impact on the environment, or 

pursuing alternate sources of water for 

Lamar County and surrounding areas. 

The scoping and evaluation phase of the 

EIS process will help in the 

determination of reasonable alternatives 

to be evaluated for the project. 

3. Scoping: a. The Corps invites full 

public participation to promote open 

communication on the issues 

surrounding the proposal. The scoping 

process is a key part of the public 

outreach and involvement phase. All 

Federal, State, and local agencies, and 

other persons or organizations that have 

an interest are urged to participate in 

the NEPA scoping process. As part of 

the process, a public meeting will be 

held to receive public input and 

comment which will be used to assist in 

the identification of significant issues 

associated with the proposed water 

supply lake. A public meeting will be 

held at the Lamar County Courthouse in 

Vernon, AL on October 15, 2009. Public 

meetings will also be advertised through 

various media outlets at least 30 days 

prior to the meeting date. 

b. The DEIS will analyze the potential 

social, economic, and environmental 

impacts to the local area resulting from 

the proposed project and alternatives. 

Specifically, the following major issues 

will be analyzed in the DEIS: 

Hydrologic and hydraulic regimes, 

threatened and endangered species, fish 

and wildlife habitat, wetlands and 

stream resources, essential fish habitat, 

and other air quality, cultural resources, 

wastewater treatment capacities and 

discharges, drainage discharges, 

transportation systems, alternatives, 

secondary and cumulative impacts, 

socioeconomic impacts, environmental 

justice (effect on minorities and lowincome groups) (Executive Order 

12898), and protection of children 

(Executive Order 13045). 

c. The Corps will serve as the lead 

Federal agency in the preparation of the 

DEIS. The Corps intends to coordinate 

and/or consult with an interagency team 

of Federal and State agencies during 

scoping and preparation of the DEIS. A 

decision will be made during the 

scoping process whether other agencies 

will serve in an official role as 

cooperating agencies. 

4. It is anticipated that the DEIS will 

be made available for public review in 

December 2010.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) in Support of the Real Property 

Master Plan and Real Property 

Exchange for Camp Parks, Dublin, CA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: U.S. Army Garrison, Camp 

Parks, with cooperation from the 

National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA), has prepared a 

Final EIS to evaluate alternatives for 

future development as part of a Real 

Property Master Plan (RPMP) at Camp 

Parks. Alternatives evaluated in the 

Final EIS include changes to land use 

for construction and training, and a Real 

Property Exchange (RPX) between Camp 

Parks and a developer in the 

surrounding community. The RPMP 

presents a land-use redevelopment plan 

for the Camp Parks cantonment area, 

with approximately 180 acres being 

transferred out of Federal ownership 

(approximately 171.5 acres is controlled 

by the U.S. Army and 8.5 acres is 

controlled by NASA). 

DATES: The waiting period for the Final 

EIS will end 30 days after publication of 

an NOA in the Federal Register by the 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

ADDRESSES: To request a copy of the 

Final EIS, contact: U.S. Army Garrison 

Camp Parks, Environmental Office, 

Building 791 5th Street, Dublin, CA 

94568–5201.

property: Dr. Ann Clarke, (650) 604– 

2350, or e-mail Ann.Clarke@nasa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEIS 

evaluates three alternatives to support 

the redevelopment and land exchange of 

Camp Parks: (1) No Action Alternative— 

under which there would be no 

comprehensive plan or vision for overall 

Camp Parks development, but 

redevelopment would occur ad hoc as 

funds become available, and facilities 

would remain largely unchanged; (2) 

Slow Growth Alternative—under which 

Camp Parks would retain all its land 

holdings and gradually move toward 

developing facilities and activities 

identified in the RPMP with the 

southern cantonment area remaining an 

opportunity site for future planning; and 

(3) Accelerated Modernization 

Alternative (Preferred Alternative and 

the Proposed Action)—under which the 

construction of new facilities and ranges 

included in the RPMP would be 

partially funded using the value of the 

land exchange (180 acres of the 

southern cantonment area) from Federal 

to private ownership. The remainder of 

RPMP construction at Camp Parks 

would be programmed as military 

construction projects. NASA’s in 

holding would be sold and proceeds of 

the sale would be used at its NASAAmes Research Center, Moffett Field, 

California. 

Camp Parks has prepared a RPMP that 

proposes a program for revitalizing the 

installation infrastructure and 

accelerating facility replacements. The 

RPMP proposes approximately 1.3 

million square feet of new buildings/ 

structures and approximately 370,000 

square feet of parking area. The majority 

of the existing structures on Camp Parks 

were intended to be temporary when 

originally constructed and are 

considered inadequate for today’s 

military personnel and lifestyles. The 

RPMP proposes the modernization of 

facilities to meet the troop training 

requirements and amenities that are 

consistent with the private sector. 

The Final EIS concludes that the No 

Action Alternative is not reasonable 

based on the antiquated infrastructure 

and buildings requiring excessive 

maintenance. The Final EIS also 

concludes that the Slow Growth 

Alternative (the incremental 

modernization using the existing 

cantonment area) is not reasonable since 

facility/activity upgrades would be 

prioritized and dependent on annual 

funding from Military Construction 

Army Reserve (MCAR) allocations and 

project proponents. MCAR funds are 

appropriated on an availability basis, 

which is not a regular or consistent 

occurrence. 

The Army’s Preferred Alternative is 

the accelerated modernization of a 

redeveloped and compacted cantonment 

area using the value of the land 

exchange to partially fund RPMP 

construction activities. This alternative 

allows for a quick implementation of the

42290 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 161 / Friday, August 21, 2009 / Notices 

RPMP, while providing the necessary 

facilities and infrastructure upgrades for 

adequate training of military personnel 

in the Bay Area. 

Potential impacts from this action 

would include loss of non-native 

grasslands and modification of 

wetlands; loss of special-status species; 

traffic congestion at the Dublin 

Boulevard/Dougherty Road intersection; 

and air quality, socioeconomic, and 

visual impacts. Proposed mitigation 

measures are identified to reduce the 

severity and extent of potential impacts.
