Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) on the Disposal and Reuse of

the Seneca Army Depot Activity, New

York

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The proposed action

evaluated by this DEIS is the disposal of

the Seneca Army Depot Activity

(SEDA), New York, in accordance with

the Defense Base Closure and

Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law

101–510, as amended.

The DEIS addresses the

environmental impacts of the disposal

and subsequent reuse of the entire

installation except for the property

required to create and maintain an

enclave for storage of hazardous

materials and ores as directed by the

BRAC Commission. Alternatives

examined in the DEIS include

encumbered disposal of the property,

unencumbered disposal of the property

and retention of the property in a

caretaker status (i.e., the no action

alternative). The Army’s preferred

alternative for disposal of SEDA

property is encumbered disposal, with

encumbrances pertaining to historical

resources, remedial activities,

easements, wetlands, groundwater use,

and unexploded ordnance.

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 DEIS 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.

The Army proposes to transfer the

majority of the 10,594 acres to the

Seneca County Industrial Development

Agency (IDA). The U.S. Coast Guard

would obtain 290 acres for continued

use of a LORAN–C antenna station. The

establishment of an enclave as directed

by the BRAC Commission would require

the Army’s retention of 30 acres to be

used for storage of hazardous materials

and ores. This would leave

approximately 10,274 acres available for

transfer or conveyance to the IDA.

The Army will hold a public review

meeting for this DEIS in January 1998.

The location and date of the meeting

will be announced in the local news

media.

DATES: Written public comments

received within the 45 days of the date

of publication of the Environmental

Protection Agency’s Notice of

Availability in the Federal Register will

be addressed in the preparation of the

Final EIS.

ADDRESSES: The DEIS is available for

review at three libraries: the Waterloo

Library and Historical Society, Attn: Ms.

Mary Zingerella, 31 East Williams

Street, Waterloo, NY 13165; Edith B.

Ford Memorial Library, Attn: Mr. & Mrs.

Henry Morris, 7169 North Main Street,

Ovid, NY 14521; and the Geneva Free

Library, Attn: Ms. Kim Iraci, 244 Main

Armored Security Vehicle (ASV)

AGENCY: U.S. Army Tank-automotive

and Armaments Command.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The Program Manager, Light

Tactical Vehicles (PM LTV) has

prepared a Life-Cycle Environmental

Assessment (LCEA) which examines the

potential impacts to the natural and

human environmental from the life

cycle activities of the Armored Security

Vehicle (ASV). Based on the LCEA, PM

LTV has determined that the proposed

action is not a major Federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment, within the

meaning of the National Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Therefore,

the preparation of an environmental

impact statement is not required and the

Army is issuing this Finding of No

Significant Impact (FONSI).

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be sent to, U.S. Army Tank-automotive

and Armaments Command (TACOM),

ATTN: AMSTA–DSA–LT (ASV),

Warren, MI 48397–5000

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

For further information, or to obtain a

copy of the ASV Life-Cycle

Environmental Assessment contact Mr.

Anthony Shaw, Weapon System

Manager (810) 574–8654.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

a. Proposed Action

This LCEA examines the potential

impacts to the natural and human

environment from the procurement of

the ASV to satisfy the Army’s need for

survivability in a Military Police (MP)

mobile platform. The ASV will be used

by MP three-man teams in highly

exposed threat environments. Current

funding is available to procure up to 195

vehicles.

b. Environmental Impact

The ASV life-cycle includes the

transport of vehicles to test sites, testing,

vehicle production, deployment and
