opportunities necessary for this Brigade 

to attain and sustain certification. 

Since the 1940s, units stationed at 

Fort Richardson have conducted their 

live-fire munitions training at the Eagle 

River Flats Impact Area, the only 

permanent impact area on post. 

Training with a variety of highexplosive weapons continued at this 

location until the discovery in 1990 that 

white phosphorus (a substance 

contained in certain Army munitions) 

deposited into Eagle River Flats was 

causing large-scale mortality of dabbling 

waterfowl (e.g., ducks and swans). 

USARAK took several actions to address 

this situation. First, all firing at the 

Eagle River Flats Impact Area was 

suspended. Second, an Environmental 

Assessment to examine alternatives for 

resumption of firing was prepared—an 

analysis that led to the current ‘‘winter 

only’’ firing regimen. These restrictions 

are still in effect today and permit 

indirect live-fire at the Eagle River Flats 

Impact Area only when the ice is 

sufficiently thick to eliminate the risk of 

disturbing any underlying white 

phosphorus particles. Because of these 

restrictions, Fort Richardson units travel 

great distances to train elsewhere, 

resulting in deployment hardships on 

Soldiers and their Families, and 

additional annual expenditures 

associated with travel to distant 

facilities to conduct training. Third, 

USARAK supported a major 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA) remediation effort to 

eliminate white phosphorus from the 

local ecosystem. Active CERCLA 

cleanup at Eagle River Flats is 

scheduled for completion early in 2010. 

In addition to consideration of a No 

Action Alternative (continued use of the 

Eagle River Flats Impact Area under a 

‘‘winter only’’ firing regimen), the DEIS 

analyzed two alternatives as possible 

scenarios for the resumption of a year 

round live-fire training opportunity at 

Fort Richardson: (1) Year-round use of 

the Eagle River Flats Impact Area and 

(2) the development of a new explosive 

munitions impact area on Fort 

Richardson. USARAK has identified 

resumption of year-round live-fire 

training at the Eagle River Flats Impact 

Area as its preferred alternative. 

The DEIS is available for public 

review at local libraries and at http:// 

www.usarak.army.mil/conservation/ 

NEPA_home.htm. Comments from the 

public will be considered before any 

final decision is made. The Army plans 

to hold public meetings in Anchorage 

and Eagle River to provide information 

on the DEIS and to provide 

opportunities for public comment. In 

addition, the Army will meet with local, 

state, and federal agencies, as well as 

several Alaska Native tribes.

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). 

On May 24, 2005, DOE issued Order

Order No. EA–301 for an additional 

five-year term. 

The electric energy which Integrys 

Energy proposes to export to Canada 

would be surplus energy purchased 

from electric utilities, Federal power 

marketing agencies and other entities 

within the United States. Each of the 

international transmission facilities to 

be utilized by Integrys Energy has 

previously been authorized by a 

Presidential permit issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended, 

and are appropriate for open access 

transmission by third parties.
