48998 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 165 / Monday, August 27, 2007 / Notices 

comment and review periods. The 

Proposed Action includes construction, 

renovation, and operation of proposed 

facilities to accommodate incoming 

military missions at APG. To implement 

the BRAC recommendations, APG will 

be receiving personnel, equipment, and 

missions from various closure and 

realignment actions within the 

Department of Defense. To implement 

the BRAC Commission 

recommendations, the Army will 

provide the necessary facilities, 

buildings, and infrastructure to support 

incoming military missions and a net 

gain of about 4,400 people as mandated 

by the 2005 BRAC Commission’s 

recommendations at APG. The No 

Action Alternative would not meet the 

Army’s purpose and need for the 

Proposed Action as the BRAC 

realignment is required by Congress and 

needed for Army transformation to be 

effective. 

Special consideration was given to the 

effect of the Preferred Alternative on 

natural resources, cultural resources, 

and traffic. All practicable means to 

avoid or minimize environmental harm 

from the Preferred Alternative have 

been adopted. The Army will minimize 

effects on all environmental and 

socioeconomic resources by 

implementing best management 

practices as described in the EIS. 

Mitigation measures, as described in the 

ROD, will be implemented, subject to 

the availability of funding, to minimize, 

avoid, or compensate for the adverse 

effects identified in the EIS at APG for 

biological resources and cultural 

resources. The EIS also identifies 

transportation projects that could 

eliminate adverse impacts from 

implementing the Preferred Alternative. 

The ROD describes the disposition of 

these projects and the approach the 

Army will take to mitigate traffic 

concerns. 

The ROD states that implementing the 

Preferred Alternative reflects a proper 

balance between initiatives for 

protection of the environment, 

appropriate mitigation, and actions to 

achieve the Army’s requirements.
