DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Navy

Notice of Public Hearing for the Joint

Draft Environmental Impact Statement/

Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/

DEIR) for the Disposal and Reuse of

the Former Hunters Point Naval

Shipyard, San Francisco, California

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council on

Environmental Quality regulations (40

CFR parts 1500—1508), implementing

the procedural provisions of the

National Environmental Policy Act, and

pursuant to the California

Environmental Quality Act (Public

Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.),

the Department of the Navy and the City

of San Francisco have prepared and

filed with the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency a joint Draft

Environmental Impact Statement/

Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/

DEIR) for the disposal and reuse of the

former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard,

San Francisco, California.

A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare

the DEIS/DEIR was published in the

Federal Register on 27 June 1995. A

public scoping meeting for the proposed

project was held on 12 July 1995 at

Southeast Community Center, San

Francisco, California.

Hunters Point Naval Shipyard is

closed, pursuant to the Defense Base

Closure and Realignment Act (Pub. L.

101–510) as implemented by the 1993

base closure process. Under Section

2824 of Pub. L. 101–510, as amended,

the Navy plans to convey the former

Naval Shipyard to the City of San

Francisco. The proposed federal action

involves the disposal of land, buildings

and infrastructure of former Hunters

Point Naval Shipyard for subsequent

reuse. The City of San Francisco and the

San Francisco Redevelopment Agency

have been involved in a process to

determine the reuse plans of the Naval

Shipyard.

The environmental effects of two

conceptual land use development

alternatives (reuse alternatives) and the

‘‘No Action’’ alternative have been

evaluated in the DEIS/DEIR. Each of the

reuse alternatives describes proposed

uses for approximately 935 acres of

shipyard property. Proposed reuse

alternatives emphasize mixed land uses

including residential, industrial,

maritime industrial, cultural,

institutional, research and development,

and open space.

No decision on the proposed action

will be made until the National

Environmental Policy Act process has

been completed.

The DEIS/DEIR has been distributed

to various federal, state and local

agencies, local groups, elected official,

special interest groups and individuals.

The DEIS/DEIR is also available for

review at the following locations:

—San Francisco Planning Department,

Planning Information Center, 1660

Mission Street.

—San Francisco Main Library, Civic

Center, Larkin & Grove Streets.

—San Francisco Public Library, Anna E.

Waden Branch, 5075 Third Street.

—San Francisco Redevelopment

Agency, 770 Golden Gate Ave.

ADDRESSES: Two public hearings will be

held for the purpose to receive oral and

written comment on the DEIS/DEIR. The

first hearing will be held on Wednesday,

December 10, 1997, at 5:00 p.m., in

Building 101, at Hunters Point Naval

Shipyard, San Francisco. The second

hearing will be held at a joint meeting

of the San Francisco Planning

Commission and the San Francisco

Redevelopment Agency Commission on

Thursday, December 11, 1997, at 1:30

p.m., in Room 404, War Memorial

Veterans’ Building, 401 Van Ness

Avenue, San Francisco. Federal, state

and local agencies, and interested

individuals are invited to be present or

represented at the hearing. Oral

comments will be heard and transcribed

by a stenographer. To assure accuracy of

the record, all comments should be

submitted in writing. All comments,

both oral and written, will become part

of the public record in the study. In the

interest of available time, each speaker
