transferring the property to future

owners with Army-imposed limitations,

or encumbrances, on the future use of

the property. Additionally, this DEIS

analyzes the potential environmental

and socioeconomic consequences of

three reuse alternatives: (1) Low

Intensity Reuse Alternative; (2) LowMedium Intensity Reuse Alternative;

and (3) Medium Intensity Reuse

Alternative. Disposal alternatives were

developed by the Army. Reuse

alternatives were developed by the Fort

Ritchie Local Redevelopment Authority.

The resources areas evaluated for

potential impacts by the proposed

action (disposal) and the secondary

action (reuse) include; land use; climate;

air quality; noise; geology, soils, and

topography; water resources;

infrastructure; hazardous and toxic

substances; biological resources and

ecosystems; cultural resources; legacy

resources; sociological environment;

economic development; quality of life;

installation agreements, and permits

and regulatory authorizations.

A scoping meeting was held at

Smithsburg High School on October 10,

1996. Public notices requesting input

and comments from the public were

issued in the regional area surrounding

Fort Ritchie.
