DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Bureau of Prisons

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for the Construction of a United

States Penitentiary Near Scranton,

Pennsylvania

AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS).

SUMMARY:

Proposed Action

The U.S. Department of Justice,

Federal Bureau of Prisons has

determined that, in order to meet

increasing demands for additional

inmate capacity, a new United States

Penitentiary (USP) is needed in its

system.

The Bureau of Prisons proposes to

construct and operate a high security

United States Penitentiary, with an

adjacent minimum security satellite

camp, in the greater Lackawanna

County, Pennsylvania area. The main

high security facility would be designed

to have a rated capacity of

approximately 1,000 inmates, and the

minimum security component

approximately 150–300. The Bureau of

Prisons is proposing to build the facility

near Scranton, Pennsylvania. Several

sites are currently under consideration.

The potential site also would be used

for road access, administration,

programs and services, parking, and

support facilities.

In the process of evaluating potential

sites, several aspects will receive a

detailed examination including utilities,

traffic patterns, noise levels, visual

intrusions, threatened and endangered

species, cultural resources, and socioeconomic impacts.

Alternatives: In developing the DEIS,

the options of ‘‘no action’’ and

‘‘alternative sites’’ for the proposed

facilities will be fully and thoroughly

examined.

Scoping Process: Several informal

public meetings have already been held

on the proposed project, and during the

preparation of the DEIS, there will be

numerous other opportunities for public

involvement. The public scoping

meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. on

Monday, October 27, 1997, at Valley

View High School, Columbus Drive,

Archbald, Pennsylvania. The meeting

will be well publicized and is scheduled

at a time that will make the meeting

possible for the public and interested

agencies or organizations to attend.

DEIS Preparation: Public notice will

be given concerning the availability of

the DEIS for public review and

comment.

ADDRESSES: Questions concerning the

proposed action and the DEIS can be

answered by: David J. Dorworth, Chief,

Site Selection & Environmental Review

Branch, Federal Bureau of Prisons, 320
