Department of the Army

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS) on the Disposal & Reuse of the

Savanna Army Depot Activity,

Savanna, IL

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The proposed action

evaluated by this Draft Environmental

Impact Statement (DEIS) is the disposal

of the Savanna Army Depot Activity

(SVAD), Savannah, Illinois, in

accordance with the Defense Base

Closure and Realignment Act of 1990,

Public Law 101–510, as amended. The

DEIS addresses the environmental

consequences of the disposal and

subsequent reuse of the Depot’s 13,062

acres. Alternatives examined in the

DEIS include encumbered disposal of

the property, unencumbered disposal of

the property, and no action.

Encumbered disposal refers to transfer

or conveyance of property having

restrictions on subsequent use as a

result of any army-imposed or legal

restraint. Under the no action

alternative, the Army would not dispose

of property but would maintain it in

caretaker status for an indefinite period.

Disposal of the Depot property is the

Army’s primary action. Reuse of the

property is a secondary action that will

be taken by others. The EIS also

analyzes the potential environmental

effects of reuse by means of evaluating

intensity-based probable reuse

scenarios. Appropriate to the Depot are

low, medium-low, and medium

intensity reuse scenarios reflecting the

range of activities that could occur after

disposal of the property.

A scoping meeting was held at the

SVAD on June 27, 1996. Public notices

requesting input and comments from

the public were issued in the regional

area surrounding the SVAD.

DATES: Written public comments and

suggestions received on or before March

24, 1997 will be addressed in the Final

Environmental Impact Statement.

ADDRESSES: A copy of the Draft EIS may

be obtained by writing to Mr. Glen

Coffee at the Corps of Engineers, Mobile

District (ATTN: CESAM–PD–E), 109 St.

Joseph St, Mobile, AL 36628–001, or by

facsimile at (334) 690–2424.

statutory obligations. The Director of the

Group publishes this notice containing

proposed information collection

requests prior to submission of these

requests to OMB. Each proposed

information collection, grouped by

office, contains the following: (1) Type

of review requested, e.g., new, revision,

extension, existing or reinstatement; (2)

Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4)

Description of the need for, and

Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites
