DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Army

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

for the Northern Training Complex

With a Multi-Purpose Digital Training

Range and Expanded Maneuver Areas,

Drop Zones, and Landing Zones at Fort

Knox, KY

AGENCY: U.S. Army Armor Center and

Fort Knox, Department of the Army.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: Fort Knox proposes to

construct and operate a multi-purpose

digital training range and a series of

maneuver areas, drop zones and landing

zones. These facilities would provide a

multi-functional war-fighting capability

to meet the Army’s training needs for

soldiers in urban and restricted terrain

combat scenarios. These facilities would

upgrade existing substandard range

facilities and expand the installation’s

training capacity to train Armor soldiers

in a realistic training environment for

urban and restricted terrain combat. The

current facilities do not meet modern

tank gunnery standards and are

inadequate to support training for

regional conflicts in urban and

restricted areas. The project would

include the installation of fiber optics,

upgrading of existing roadways and

construction of utilities to the site. The

proposed training complex would

ensure soldiers are combat ready.

ADDRESSES: Please direct written

comments concerning the scope of the

Northern Training Complex to:

Al Freeland, Chief, Environmental

Management Division, Directorate of

Base Operations Support, U.S. Army

Armor Center, ATTN: ATZK–OSE,

Building 1110, Room 216, Ironsides &

6th Avenue, Fort Knox, KY 40121–

5000;

or

Gail Pollock, Environmental Protection

Specialist, at the same address; by fax

at (502) 624–3000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Al

Freeland at (502) 624–3629 or Gail

Pollock at (502) 624–6684.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EIS

will consider reasonable alternatives

including: (1) Construct the Northern

Training Complex that includes the

Wilcox Multi-Purpose Digital Training

Range (Wilcox MPDTR) and the

Maneuver Areas, Drop Zones, and

Landing Zones in Training Areas 16, 17,

and 18 (Training Area Complex)

(preferred alternative); (2) upgrade Yano

Multi-Purpose Tank Range to a Digital

Range and construct Maneuver Areas,

Drop Zones, and landing Zones in

Training Areas 16, 17, and 18; (3)

upgrade Cedar Creek Multi-Purpose

Tank Range to a Digital Range and

construct Maneuver Areas, Drop Zones,

and Landing Zones in Training Areas

16, 17, and 18; and (4) no action

(continue operations with existing

ranges and facilities). Other reasonable

alternatives will also be considered.

Significant Issues: The primary issues

to be analyzed in this EIS include: Noise

(aircraft/range firing), impacts to

wetlands and riparian areas, removal of

approximately 2,500 acres of forests,

soil erosion, water quality, endangered

species, cultural resources, and other

issues raised during public scoping.

Scoping: The Army prepared Draft

Environmental Assessments for the

Wilcox Multi-Purpose Digital Tank

Range and the Training Area 16, 17 and

18 Maneuver/Drop Zones and Landing

Zones. The Environmental Assessments

resulted in a determination to prepare

an EIS to encompass all areas affected

within the proposed Northern Training

Complex.

A mailing list has been prepared for

public scoping and review throughout

the process of preparation of this EIS.

This list includes local, state and

Federal officials having jurisdictional

expertise or other interests in the

project; concerned citizens;

conservation groups; and local news

media.

Comments concerning the scope of

the EIS may also be emailed to Ms. Gail

Pollock at pollockl@ftknoxemph3.army.mil.

programs that prepare prospective

teachers to use technology for

improved instructional practices and

student learning opportunities in the

classroom. The performance reports

will be completed by all 225 grantees
