Department of the Army

Supplemental Environmental

Assessment and Finding of No

Significant Impact for the Realignment

of Depot Maintenance Workload

(Except Bradley Fighting Vehicle

Series and Multiple Launch Rocket

Systems) From Red River Army Depot,

Texarkana, Texas; the Associated

Combat Vehicle Support Mission From

Defense Distribution Depot Red River,

Texarkana, TX; and the Relocation of

the AGT 1500 Engine Recuperator

Manufacturing Process From Stratford

Army Engine Plant, Stratford, CT, to

Anniston Army Depot, Anniston, AL

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: In accordance with Public

Law 101–510 (as amended), the Defense

Base Closure and Realignment Act of

1990, the Defense Base Closure and

Realignment Commission recommended

the realignment of Red River Army

Depot (RRAD) and the closure of the

Stratford Army Engine Plant (SAEP).

The RRAD realignment

recommendation included the

movement of all maintenance missions,

except for that related to the Bradley

Fighting Vehicle Series (BFVS), to other

depot maintenance activities, including

the private sector. The Secretary of the

Army made the decision that all

maintenance missions, except BFVS and

Multiple Launch Rocket Systems

(MLRS), would be relocated to Anniston

Army Depot (ANAD), Anniston, AL.

The Army also proposed the relocation

of the associated non-BFVS/MLRS

maintenance mission support from

Defense Distribution Depot Red River,

Texas (DDRT), to Defense Distribution

Depot Anniston, Alabama (DDAA).

The relocation of the AGT 1500

engine recuperator manufacturing

process from SAEP to ANAD was not

directed by the Commission, but a

decision by the Department of the Army

to retain the capability to rebuild and

repair tank engines to meet projected

operation and mobilization

requirements.

This Environmental Assessment (EA)

supplements one completed for

Anniston in June 1996 pursuant to a

Commission directed maintenance

mission transfer from Letterkenny Army

Depot, Letterkenny, Pennsylvania to

ANAD. The three relocations addressed

in this Supplemental EA resulted from

discretionary decisions, based on

Commission recommendations, made

after the completion of the June 1996

EA.

The relocations from RRAD and

DDRT does not involve the transfer of

any military or civilian personnel. The

relocation of the AGT 1500 engine

recuperator manufacturing process from

Stratford, CT, involves transfer of 7

civilian contractor jobs with an

anticipated growth of 33 more civilian

contractor positions from the Anniston

area. Adequate facilities and outdoor

space for parking of combat vehicles

exist at ANAD to accommodate the

relocations from RRAD and DDRT.

However, the AGT 1500 engine

recuperator workload requires

renovation of 30,000 square feet of

Building 134, an underutilized

warehouse facility.

Potential effects on the physical,

natural, and cultural environment from

the proposed relocations and renovation

of Building 134 would be temporary and

not significant and would be mitigated

through the use of best management

practices.

Based on the analysis of the

environmental effects of the proposed

relocations found in the EA, it has been

determined that the implementation of

these relocations to ANAD and DDAA

would have no significant impacts on

the quality of the natural or human

environment. Because no significant

environmental impacts would result

from implementation of the proposed

action, an Environmental Impact

Statement is not required.

Implementation of the proposed action

will result in a Finding of No Significant

Impact (FNSI).

DATES: Inquiries will be accepted on or

before March 17, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Supplemental

EA and FNSI can be obtained by
