Notice of Record of Decision To

Realign Marine Corps Air Station/

Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton,

CA

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy

has decided to realign Marine Corps Air

Station/Marine Corps Base (MCAS/

MCB) Camp Pendelton, California. This

decision is made upon careful

consideration of all comments on the

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

prepared for the realignment action. It

has been decided to implement the

realignment action using the alternative

B configuration, which was both the

preferred alternative and also the

environmentally preferred alternative.

DATES: This Record Of Decision

becomes effective January 27, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Additional information regarding this

Record Of Decision or the MCAS/MCB

Camp Pendleton realignment may be

obtained from Major Pat D. Pinkston at

1. Introduction

The Department of the Navy (DoN)

has been studying a proposal to realign

Marine Corps Aviation assets

temporarily located at MCAS El Toro

and permanently assigned to MCAS

Tustin to other locations in Southern

California. The realignment would

include Marine Corps aircraft, their

dedicated personnel, equipment and

support. The realignment would be

undertaken in accordance with the

Defense Base Closure and Realignment

Act of 1990 (BRAC) (Public Law 101–

510). The DoN has conducted extensive

analysis of the proposal under Section

102(2) of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the

Council on Environmental Quality

(CEQ) regulations implementing NEPA

(40 CFR 1500–1508). The process used

for the analysis sought the views of the

public and those Federal, State and

local agencies with special expertise.

Public comments have been carefully

considered. Having reviewed the Final

Environmental Impact Statement, the

public comments, and pertinent parts of

the administrative record, the

Department of the Navy announces its

decision to proceed with the

realignment of Marine Corps Air Station

(MCAS)/Marine Corps Base (MCB)

Camp Pendleton, California.

2. Proposed Action

In compliance with the approved

recommendations of the 1991, 1993, and

1995 Defense Base Closure and

Realignment Commissions, the

proposed action involves the relocation

of selected aviation assets (along with

their dedicated personnel and

equipment) that are temporarily located

at MCAS El Toro and permanently

assigned to MCAS Tustin to MCAS

Camp Pendleton, changes in aviation

operations, and the construction of

facilities. The relocating assets include

approximately 800 personnel, four CH–

46E (medium-lift) helicopter squadrons

(48 aircraft) and one detachment of CH–

53E (heavy-lift) helicopters (four

aircraft). Upon full implementation of

the proposed action, MCAS Camp

Pendleton would support ten helicopter

squadrons and one detachment totaling

212 aircraft. Because one existing UH–

1/AH–1 (light attack/utility) helicopter

squadron (27 aircraft) and one CH–46

helicopter squadron (12 aircraft) will

normally be deployed, normal base

loading will consist of approximately

3,900 personnel and 173 rotary-wing

aircraft.

3. Purpose and Need

The purpose and need of the

proposed action is to comply with the

1991, 1993, and 1995 BRAC

Commissions’ recommendations for the

closure and realignment of MCAS

Tustin and relocation of MCAS Tustin

aircraft, along with their dedicated

personnel and equipment, in a manner

that is consistent with Marine Corps

operational requirements.

4. Background

This action was initiated following

the effective date of the 1993

recommendations of the Defense Base

Closure and Realignment Commission

established under the Defense Base

Closure and Realignment Act of 1990,

Public Law 101–510.

Pursuant to that law,

recommendations of the Commission

become final if the President sends them

to Congress and Congress does not reject

them within 45 legislative days. Once

recommendations become final, 10

U.S.C. sec. 2904 requires that the

closures and relocations must be

implemented within six years. The 1993

recommendations included a change to

the 1991 BRAC Commission’s

recommendations for MCAS Tustin,

which had named Marine Corps Air

Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC)

Twentynine Palms as one of the

receiving sites for helicopter assets

being realigned from MCAS Tustin. The

BRAC 93 Commission deleted MCAGCC

as a receiving site and directed

relocation to ‘‘NAS North Island, NAS

Miramar, or MCAS Camp Pendleton,

California.’’ In BRAC 95, the

Commission again altered the receiving

site for assets realigned from MCAS

Tustin by striking the three potential

sites listed in BRAC 93 and substituting

‘‘other air stations consistent with

operational requirements.’’ As a result,

aviation assets from MCAS Tustin are

being realigned to: MCAS New River,

North Carolina; MCB Hawaii; MCAS

Camp Pendleton, California; and MCAS

Miramar, California.

When the proposed action is

completed, four CH–46E helicopter

squadrons (48 aircraft) and one

detachment of CH–53E helicopters (four

aircraft) will be added to the existing

MCAS Camp Pendleton loading

(consisting of six squadrons totaling 160

aircraft. Because one existing UH–1/

AH–1 (light attack/utility) helicopter

squadron (27 aircraft) and one CH–43

helicopter squadron (12 aircraft) will

normally be deployed, normal base

loading will consist of approximately

3,900 personnel and 173 rotary-wing

aircraft. In an interim move after the

BRAC 1995 decision and unrelated to

selection of permanent relocation sites,

all of MCAS Tustin’s CH–46Es have

been relocated to MCAS El Toro, in

order to facilitate placing a significant

portion of MCAS Tustin in caretaker

status.

As independent actions implementing

the recommendations of the 1995 BRAC

Commission, two MCAS Tustin
