Final Environmental Assessment for

BRAC 95 Disposal and Reuse of Camp

Kilmer, New Jersey

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: In accordance with Public

Law 101–510 (as amended), the Defense

Base Closure and Realignment Act of

1990, the Defense Base Closure and

Realignment Commission recommended

the closure of Camp Kilmer, New Jersey.

The Final Environmental Assessment

(EA) evaluates the environmental

impacts of the disposal and subsequent

reuse of the 49 acres. Alternatives

examined in the EA include no action,

unencumbered disposal of the property,

encumbered disposal of the property.

Encumbered disposal refers to transfer

or conveyance of property having

restrictions on subsequent use as a

result of any Army-imposed or legal

restraint. The unencumbered disposal

alternative refers to the transfer of

property without encumbrances such as

environmental restrictions and

easements. Under the no action

alternative, the Army would not dispose

of property but would maintain it in

caretaker status for an indefinite period.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before June 19, 2000.

ADDRESSES: A copy of the Final EA may

be obtained by writing to Mr. Carl

Burgamy, Jr., U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers, U.S. Army Engineer District,

Mobile (CESAM–PD), 109 St. Joseph

Street, Mobile, AL 36602.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Carl Burgamy, Jr. at (334) 690–2036 or

telefax at (334) 690–2727.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: While

closure of Camp Kilmer is the Army’s

primary action, the EA also analyzes the

potential environmental effects of reuse

as a secondary action by means of

evaluating intensity-based reuse

scenarios. The Army’s preferred

alternative for disposal of Camp

Kilmer’s excess property is encumbered

disposal, with encumbrances pertaining

to easements, use restrictions,

restrictions pertaining to asbestoscontaining material, future remedial

activities after transfer, utility

dependencies.

A Notice of Intent (NOI) declaring the

Army’s intent to prepare an EA for the

closure of Camp Kilmer was published

in the Federal Register on September

22, 1995 (60 FR 49264).

The Final EA is available for review

at the Main Public Library, 340

Plainfield Ave., Edison, NJ 08817. Prior

to initiating action the Army will

consider comments received on this EA.

Dated: May 15, 2000.

Health); OASA (I&E).

Final Environmental Impact Statement

(FEIS) for Schofield Barracks

Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent

Treatment and Disposal, Oahu, HI

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: This announces the

availability of the FEIS, which assesses

the effects of implementing a system to

treat and dispose of wastewater effluent

from Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army

Airfield, and adjacent military lands.

Under the lead alternative, the Army

would improve its Schofield Barracks

Wastewater Treatment Plant to provide

a higher quality effluent that would

meet new State of Hawaii guidelines for

effluent reuse. Part of the effluent would

be used to irrigate two Army golf

courses on Schofield Barracks. The

balance would then be provided for

irrigation reuse to Dole Foods

Corporation and possibly other

agricultural interests in Central Oahu.

Wet weather discharge would be into

Lake Wilson, an agricultural reservoir

owned by Dole Foods Corporation. The

lead alternative would preclude the

construction of a long pipeline to the

coastline and avoid disposal into the

ocean.

Other alternatives considered by the

FEIS included the no action alternative,

which would limit the use of the Army

effluent under the State of Hawaii

guidelines for effluent reuse, and a joint

project with the City and County of

Honolulu (CCH), which would require

construction of a new 14-mile pipeline

from Central Oahu to the CCH’s

Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant

at the Ewa area.

None of the alternatives considered,

with the possible exception of the no

action alternative, are anticipated to

have significant environmental impact.

The Army’s lead alternative provides

the most potential for effluent reuse in

Central Oahu.

DATES: Written comments received

within 30 days of the publication of the

Environmental Protection Agency’s

Notice of Availability for this action will

be considered by the Army during final

decision making.

ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the

FEIS, contact Mr. Edward Yamada, U.S.

Army Engineer District, Honolulu,
