Satellite Campuses Alternative

Under the Satellite Campuses conceptual development strategy, new facilities to accommodate 

base realignment would be sited on EPG, Davison Army Airfield, North Post golf course, and North 

Post and South Post (from Kingman Road to 12th Street). For land use planning, land parcels 

affected by the Satellite Campuses strategy would be redesignated for Professional/Institutional or 

Community uses.

A detailed analysis of Fort Belvoir’s natural and cultural features are 

being analyzed to identify potential development constraints and to 

help determine the most suitable areas for development.

Current Conditions

Fort Belvoir supports rich flora and fauna.

Fort Belvoir has a rich history and is home to a variety of 

historic and cultural resources.

Analysis

Studies of wetlands, resource protection areas, environmental 

quality corridors, flora, fauna, threatened and endangered 

species, and historic and archaeological resources are being 

undertaken.

The EIS will use the results of these studies to determine 

impacts of the BRAC action to natural, historic, and 

archaeological resources.

Areas that are considered generally not suitable for development 

include land within:











Small-whorled pogonia (state 

endangered, federally threatened)

Wood turtle (state threatened)

Bald eagle (federally threatened)







263 species of birds including 61 Partners

only known to occur at Fort Belvoir.

Wetlands (1,270 acres)




Air Quality

Fairfax County (and therefore Fort Belvoir) meets 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards for all major 

pollutants except ozone and fine particles.

An analysis of the BRAC impacts of construction, facility 

operation and traffic on air quality will be conducted in 

the EIS.

The following elements also will be included in the air 

quality analysis:

General Conformity

Air Permitting

Transportation

Background

Fairfax County has more than 1 million residents and is 

expected to grow to 1.3 million residents by 2025

Many existing regional transportation facilities lack 

sufficient levels of service

Previous planning efforts have identified many 

improvement recommendations

BRAC Impacts

Approximately 22,000 employees will relocate to Fort 

Belvoir

The figures below represent the current residential locations (by ZIP code) 

of employees already stationed at Fort Belvoir (Figure 1) and proposed 

incoming employees to Fort Belvoir as a result of BRAC action (Figures 2 

and 3). These figures were created using current Department of Defense 

(DoD) payroll information. Figures 2 and 3 represent more than 80 

percent of the 22,000 personnel expected to relocate to Fort Belvoir. Data 

representing the remaining portion of that group are currently unavailable.

Note: Final alignments of all proposed roadways will consider environmental constraints, 

topography constraints, and constructability constraints during the design process. Therefore 

alignments may change from what is shown as the design is carried forth.
Cumulative Impacts

The Federal government recognizes that not all actions 

have significant impacts when analyzed alone, but may, in 

combination with other actions, have significant impacts.

NEPA requires that cumulative impacts be analyzed in the 

EIS process.

Impacts on the environment that result from the overall 

contributions of any action when added to other past, 

present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions.

Separate NEPA documents will be prepared as required 

for these projects.

The cumulative impacts section of this EIS evaluates 31 onpost and 187 off-post projects. The display to the left is a list 

of proposed on-post projects that exceed 25,000 square feet 

(SF) in area and the display to the right is a list of proposed 

off-post projects that exceed 25 acres in size.

What is BRAC?

Congress passed a law authorizing Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) recommendations at 

Department of Defense (DoD) installations in 

November 2005, the fifth BRAC round since 1988. 

The purpose of the BRAC recommendations was 

to authorize another round of realignments and 

closures to keep up with evolving global security 

requirements. The BRAC action at Fort Belvoir 

includes relocating 59 DoD agencies and activities, 

primarily from the DC metropolitan area, onto Fort 

Belvoir.

What is the National Environmental

Policy Act?

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969 requires the analysis of potential environmental effects associated with major federal actions. Federal agencies must identify potential 

impacts on resources such as water, air, wildlife, 

cultural resources, land use, recreation, and aesthetics, and consider alternatives to the proposed 

action. NEPA also requires that the responsible 

federal official consult with relevant federal and 

state agencies, federally recognized tribes, and the 

public to determine these impacts.

Two NEPA documents will be created in the course 

of this action:

• An Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) that analyzes any potential significant 

environmental and socioeconomic impacts 

associated with implementing the BRAC 

recommendations and the updated land use 

plan portion of the Master Plan’s Long Range 

Component. 

• A Record of Decision (ROD) that documents 

the final decision on the proposed action, on the 

basis of the information presented in the EIS. 

It may specify mitigation measures (methods 

to lessen negative impacts) and monitoring 

programs to be undertaken.

What is the purpose of this public

information meeting?

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public with the most currently available information 

regarding the progress of the EIS and to provide 

an open forum for discussion among members 

of the public and the Army about topics specific 

to this EIS. Comments provided through the 

discussions at this meeting will be considered 

as the EIS process continues. A 45-day public 

comment period will follow the publication of the 

Draft EIS, which is scheduled for February 2007.

What is the meeting format and what

topics will be addressed?

This meeting will be held in an open house format. Informational displays will be set up around 

the room to educate attendees about the topics 

being evaluated in the EIS. Seating at each station will be available to promote discussion about 

each topic. Technical staff will take part in these 

discussion groups. This format was chosen in an 

effort to provide as much information as possible 

and to promote open discussion among members 

of the public and Army representatives regarding 

the BRAC action at Fort Belvoir. 

What is the Proposed Action?

The BRAC Commission proposed that the Army 

realign Fort Belvoir according to BRAC law. This 

EIS will analyze impacts associated with implementing the BRAC recommendations and relocating approximately 22,000 workers to Fort 

Belvoir. Due to the large scope of these recommendations, the land use portion of the installation’s Master Plan long range component needs 

to be updated to accommodate BRAC realignment activities on Fort Belvoir. Therefore, the 

EIS will evaluate alternative land use plans to 

accommodate the following BRAC 2005 requirements, and impacts associated with siting of the 

BRAC realignment activities.

• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) 

and Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) 

leased and government-owned facilities within 

the National Capital Region (NCR)

• Primary and secondary medical care functions 

from Walter Reed Medical Center to a new, 

expanded Dewitt Army Community Hospital

• Other Army and DoD organizations from NCR 

leased space

The Fort Belvoir Master Plan and the National 

Museum of the Army are not being evaluated 

in this EIS, but will be evaluated in future NEPA 

studies.

EIS Alternatives

Town Center 

Under the Town Center alternative, the majority of new facilities to accommodate base realignment 

would be sited between J.J. Kingman Road on North Post and 12th Street on South Post. Developed areas 

bounded by 16th and 21st Streets and Gunston Road and Belvoir Road would be available for future 

redevelopment. Accommodation of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) realignments under this 

alternative would result in the following major sitings: 

• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and associated parking structures would be sited 

in the area bounded by Route 1, Belvoir Road, 9th Street, and Gunston Road. 

• Washington Headquarters Service (WHS) and associated parking structures would be sited in the 

area bounded by Route 1, Belvoir Road, 9th Street, and Gunston Road and in the adjacent area 

north of Route 1 that is bounded by Constitution Drive, Route 1, and Gunston, Abbot, and 

Beauregard Roads. 

• Army Lease and associated parking structures would be sited on North Post, in the southern half of the 

area bounded by Woodlawn, Abbott, Gunston, and J.J. Kingman Roads. 

• DeWitt Army Community Hospital and associated parking structures would be sited in the area 

that is bounded by Constitution Drive, Route 1, and Gunston, Abbot, and Beauregard Roads. 

• Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) and associated parking 

structures would be sited on North Post, in the southern half of the area bounded by Woodlawn, 

Abbott, Gunston, and J.J. Kingman Roads. 

****************************************************************************** 

City Center 

Under the City Center alternative, all new facilities to accommodate base realignment would be sited on 

EPG and a nearby 65-acre parcel currently occupied by the General Services Administration (GSA). 

Accommodation of BRAC realignments under this alternative would result in the following major sitings: 

• NGA, Army Lease, DeWitt Army Community Hospital, PEO EIS, and Missile Defense Agency 

(MDA) and associated parking structures would be sited at Engineer Proving Ground (EPG). 

• WHS would be sited at the GSA parcel on Loisdale Road. 

• Portions of Army Lease would be sited in existing facilities along the east side of Gunston Road 

between Route 1 and 9th Street, and in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Belvoir Road 

and 21st Street. Units, agencies, and activities that could not be assigned to the existing facilities 

would occupy EPG. 

****************************************************************************** 

Satellite Campuses 

Under the Satellite Campuses alternative, new facilities to accommodate base realignment would be sited on Davison 

Army Airfield, North Post golf course, and North Post and South Post (from Kingman Road to 12th Street). 

Accommodation of BRAC realignments under this alternative would result in the following major sitings: 

• NGA and associated parking structures would be sited at Davidson Army Airfield. 

• WHS and MDA and associated parking structures would be sited in the North Port area that is 

bounded by Constitution Drive, Route 1, and Gunston, Abbot, and Beauregard Roads. 

• Dewitt Army Community Hospital and associated parking structures would be sited on the 

southern portion of the North Post golf course. 

• Army Lease would be sited in existing facilities along the east side of Gunston Road between 

Route 1 and 9th Street, and in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Belvoir Road and 21st 

Street in renovated facilities. 

• PEO EIS and associated parking structures would be sited on North Post, in the southern half of 

the area bounded by Woodlawn, Abbot, Gunston, and J.J. Kingman Roads. 
Preferred Alternative 

Consideration of the Town Center, City Center, and Satellite Campuses alternatives resulted in the 

identification of a preferred land use strategy (preferred alternative) that reflected the best aspects of each 

of the three alternatives. The preferred alternative was then used as the basis for the proposed amendment 

to Fort Belvoir’s land use plan. 

Accommodation of personnel being realigned must take into account the needs of six major groups slated 

for realignment by the BRAC Commission: 

• Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), consisting of WHS and elements of the Office of the 

Secretary of Defense and defense agencies 

• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) 

• various Army entities moving from leased space in the NCR (Army Lease) 

• U.S. Army Medical Command (MedCom) 

• Program Executive Office, Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) 

• Missile Defense Agency Headquarters Command Center (MDA HQCC). 

Accommodations of BRAC requirements under this alternative would involve the following siting of 

facilities: 

• NGA and WHS would be on the eastern portion of EPG. 

• Army lease units, agencies, and activities would be on South Post at sites on Gunston Road and 

Belvoir Road. 

• The Dewitt Army Community Hospital would be on the South Post Golf Course. 

• PEO EIS and MDA HQCC would be on South Post at sites on Gunston Road and Belvoir Road. 

****************************************************************************** 

No Action Alternative 

A No Action Alternative represents what would occur if the Army were not to carry out its proposed action of adopting a new land use plan for its Real Property Master Plan (RPMP) and implementing BRAC 

recommendations at Fort Belvoir. Inclusion of the No Action Alternative in the EIS serves as a benchmark against which the potential effects of the Proposed Action and alternatives can be evaluated and is a 

required part of the environmental investigation. Implementing this alternative would require additional 

Congressional action.
