FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Buddy Keesee at (410) 278–6755 during 

normal business hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

mandated by the 2005 BRAC 

Commission’s recommendations, the 

FEIS addresses alternatives that include 

renovation of existing facilities and 

construction of new facilities required 

to accommodate incoming military 

missions and a net gain of about 4,400 

people at Aberdeen Proving Ground. 

Activities realigning to Aberdeen 

Proving Ground are administrative and 

research and development in nature. 

Direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts 

of the Proposed Action have been 

considered. The FEIS has determined 

that the Proposed Action will result in 

potentially significant impacts to 

transportation and socioeconomics. the 

FEIS addresses several suggested 

improvements developed to lessen the 

impacts of the Proposed Action. 

Depending on the final siting of some 

facilities, there is the potential for 

significant impacts to cultural resources 

due to adverse effects resulting from 

disturbance or destruction of certain 

sites and buildings during renovation 

and construction activities. Impacts to 

these cultural resources would be direct, 

long-term, and significant. No other 

significant beneficial or significant 

adverse impacts have been identified for 

land use, aesthetics and visual 

resources, air quality, noise, geology and 

soil, water resources, biological 

resources, utilities, or hazardous and 

toxic substances. The No Action 

alternative provides the baseline 

conditions for comparison to the 

Proposed Alternative. 

An electronic version of the FEIS is 

available for download on the U.S. 

Army BRAC Division Web site at:
