26660 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 111 / Friday, June 8, 2018 / Notices 

State Historic Preservation Officer 

(SHPO) at the Texas Historical 

Commission; Texas Parks and Wildlife 

Department (TPWD); and the Tribal 

Historic Preservation Officers of the 

Caddo Nation, Comanche Nation, Kiowa 

Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Wichita and 

Affiliated Tribes. The Texas SHPO 

provided concurrence that no historic 

resources would be affected by the 

Proposed Action. TPWD provided 

comments and recommendations 

regarding protection of migratory birds, 

state-listed species, and other wildlife 

species. DLA addressed TPWD’s 

comments and recommendations in the 

EA and responded to TPWD with an 

acknowledgment letter stating that 

construction activities should avoid or 

minimize potential impacts on the statelisted timber rattlesnake and other 

wildlife species. The Comanche Nation 

responded that a review of their site 

files indicated ‘‘No Properties’’ have 

been identified at the project area. 

RRAD did not receive responses to the 

consultation requests with the Caddo 

Nation, Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, or 

the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes. An 

appendix was added to the EA that 

includes the SHPO, TPWD, and tribal 

consultation documents. The revised EA 

is available electronically at the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal at http://

www.regulations.gov within Docket ID: 

DOD–2017–OS–0057. 

Purpose and Need for Action: The 

purpose of the Proposed Action is to 

provide DLA Disposition Services Red 

River with a reutilization, transfer, 

donation, and sales complex suitable for 

collecting, processing, and liquidating 

materiel from military installations and 

their units across northern Texas, 

Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The Proposed 

Action is needed to address the 

inefficiency of the facilities and 

resultant handling of materiel at the 

existing disposal operations sites. 

Proposed Action and Alternatives: 

Under the Proposed Action, DLA would 

construct and operate a complex of 

facilities necessary to support the 

materiel disposal operations of DLA 

Disposition Services Red River. The 

Proposed Action would consolidate the 

DLA Disposition Services Red River 

disposal operations currently conducted 

at two sites on RRAD. 

The primary facility would be a 

145,200-square foot (ft2) 

noncombustible general purpose 

warehouse. A special foundation system 

would be required because of expansive 

clay soils. The general purpose 

warehouse would also include a 10,000- 

ft2 administrative and utility annex 

containing a training/conference 

classroom, a locker room with showers 

and latrine, and a break room. These 

facilities would include fire suppression 

systems, utilities and communications, 

and security systems. 

A 14.9-acre (648,000-ft2) holding and 

sales yard would be constructed for the 

sorting, processing, and open storage of 

large items and rolling stock. Military 

equipment that must be demilitarized 

would be fenced from material 

processed and displayed for commercial 

sales. A 4.1-acre (180,000-ft2) paved 

scrapyard would be constructed for the 

separation, processing, and transfer of 

scrap metal for commercial sales. A 

4,608-ft2 scrap area storage facility 

would be constructed for the 

management of the scrapyard operation, 

with two overhead covers for weather 

protection of the scrap bins. A weigh 

and dispatch facility would be 

constructed on the perimeter of the 

complex and include a 634-ft2 scale 

house with restrooms, truck scales, a 

radiation detector, 5,900 ft2 of covered 

storage, 7,200 ft2 of paved vehicle 

parking/queuing area, and a 528-ft2

restroom building. The complex would 

include utilities, fire protection, storm 

drainage, communication systems, site 

lighting, 383,110 ft2 of paving (i.e., 

access roadways, hardstand aprons, 

parking, and walkways), security 

fencing, and related site improvements. 

Description of the No Action 

Alternative: Under the No Action 

Alternative, DLA would not construct 

and operate a new DLA Disposition 

Services Complex at RRAD. No changes 

to existing facilities or their operations 

would result. The continued movement 

of materiel for disposal across the 

installation is unnecessary and 

inefficient and would continue to create 

traffic conflicts with installation 

production and safety risks. The No 

Action Alternative would not meet the 

purpose of and need for the Proposed 

Action. 

Potential Environmental Impacts: No 

significant effects on environmental 

resources would be expected from the 

Proposed Action. Insignificant, adverse 

effects on land use and recreation, 

noise, air quality, geological resources, 

water resources, biological resources, 

infrastructure and transportation, and 

hazardous materials and wastes would 

be expected. Additionally, insignificant, 

beneficial effects on noise and 

infrastructure and transportation would 

be expected. Details of the 

environmental consequences are 

discussed in the EA, which is hereby 

incorporated by reference. 

Determination: DLA has determined 

that implementation of the Proposed 

Action will not have a significant effect 

on the human environment. Human 

environment was interpreted 

comprehensively to include the natural 

and physical environment and the 

relationship of people with that 

environment. Specifically, no highly 

uncertain or controversial impacts, 

unique or unknown risks, or 

cumulatively significant effects were 

identified. Implementation of the 

Proposed Action will not violate any 

federal, state, or local laws. Based on the 

results of the analyses performed during 

preparation of the EA and consideration 

of comments received during the public 

comment period, Mr. Patrick Wright, 

Acting Director, DLA Installation 

Management, concludes that 

implementation of the Proposed Action 

at DLA Disposition Services Red River 

does not constitute a major federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment within the 

context of NEPA. Therefore, an 

environmental impact statement for the 

Proposed Action is not required.
