DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Public Meeting on the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Multiple Projects in Support of Marine 

Barracks Washington, DC 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, 

Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 

(102)(2)(c) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 United States Code [U.S.C.] 

Sections 4321–4370h); the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations for implementing the 

procedural provisions of NEPA (Title 40 

Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R) 

Parts 1500–1508); Department of the 

Navy (DoN) Procedures for 

Implementing NEPA (32 CFR part 775); 

and Marine Corps NEPA directives 

(Marine Corps Order P5090.2A), the 

United States Marine Corps (Marine 

Corps) has prepared and filed with the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) a Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) that evaluates the 

potential environmental consequences 

that may result from implementation of 

repair, renovation, and construction 

projects at Marine Barracks Washington 

(MBW), District of Columbia (DC) 

anticipated to occur within an 

approximately 5-year planning horizon 

from the publication of the Record of 

Decision anticipated in 2016). The 

principal project analyzed in this Draft 

EIS is the replacement of a Bachelor 

Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) Complex 

(including supporting facilities and 

parking) currently housed in Building 

20 at MBW. Depending on the 

alternative selected, the BEQ Complex 

replacement project may include land 

acquisition in DC. The Draft EIS also 

evaluates renovation and improvement 

projects to Building 7 at the Main Post; 

improvements to the MBW Annex gate 

at 7th and K Streets; and improvements 

to building facades, fencing, 

infrastructure, pedestrian amenities, and 

landscaping throughout the installation. 

The Draft EIS includes a programmatic 

evaluation of several additional projects 

anticipated to occur beyond the 5-year 

planning horizon for which information 

sufficient to conduct detailed NEPA 

analysis is not yet available. Principal 

among these projects is the potential 

reuse of Building 20 or the Building 20 

site once the BEQ Complex has been 

relocated. Other longer-term projects 

include renovation of Building 9 to 

accommodate the consolidation of 

various administrative functions, as 

well as some additional landscaping 

and maintenance projects. Once these 

actions become sufficiently ripe for 

detailed analysis, additional NEPA 

analysis will be completed. A Notice of 

Intent to prepare this EIS was published 

in the Federal Register on September 6, 

2013 (Vol. 78, No. 173, p. 54873). 

With the filing of the Draft EIS, the 

DoN is initiating a 45-day public 

comment period and has scheduled a 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
21226 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 74 / Friday, April 17, 2015 / Notices

Draft EIS. Federal, state, and local 

agencies and interested individuals are 

encouraged to attend the public 

meeting. This notice announces the 

dates and locations of the public 

meeting, and supplementary 

information about the environmental 

planning effort. 

DATES AND ADDRESSES: The Draft EIS 

public review period begins April 10, 

2015 and ends on May 26, 2015. The 

Marine Corps is holding an open house 

public meeting to inform the public 

about the Proposed Action and the 

alternatives under consideration, and to 

provide an opportunity for the public to 

comment on the Draft EIS. Marine Corps 

representatives will be on hand to 

discuss the Proposed Action, the NEPA 

process, and the analyses presented in 

the Draft EIS. The meeting will be held 

from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Tyler 

Elementary School (1001 G Street SE., 

Washington, DC 20003) on Wednesday, 

April 22, 2015. The DoN will consider 

and respond to comments received on 

the Draft EIS when preparing the Final 

EIS. The DoN expects to issue the Final 

EIS in November 2015, at which time a 

Notice of Availability will be published 

in the Federal Register and local print 

media.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Proposed Action evaluated in the Draft 

EIS would occur within an approximate 

5-year planning horizon from the 

publication of the Record of Decision 

anticipated in 2016, and address 

existing and anticipated facility 

deficiencies at MBW. MBW is part of a 

highly urbanized metropolitan area of 

DC, with the Main Post and Building 20 

located at the intersection of 8th and I 

Streets SE. in the Capitol Hill 

neighborhood, the largest historic 

district and one of the most densely 

populated residential neighborhoods in 

the city. The MBW Annex is located at 

the intersection of 7th Street SE. and 

Virginia Avenue SE. in the Near 

Southeast neighborhood, which has 

been an emerging growth area as a result 

of revitalization efforts that began in the 

1990s and is transitioning to an 

established neighborhood with a 

growing residential community. 

The purpose of the Proposed Action 

is to address existing and anticipated 

facility deficiencies at MBW in order to 

better support the functions of the 

Marine Corps units assigned to MBW. 

The Proposed Action is needed for the 

Marine Corps to meet current Quality of 

Life (QOL), efficiency, sustainability, 

life safety, Anti-Terrorism and Force 

Protection (AT/FP) requirements, and 

facilities standards. Most of these 

requirements are set forth in the 

Department of Defense (DoD) Unified 

Facilities Criteria (UFCs) for planning, 

design, construction, sustainment, 

restoration, and modernization. 

The existing BEQ (Building 20) has 

multiple deficiencies relating to force 

protection, minimum space 

requirements, QOL, life safety, 

sustainability, and energy efficiency and 

cannot be renovated or redesigned to 

meet current standards. No existing 

MBW property can accommodate the 

entire replacement BEQ requirement 

(BEQ, support facilities, and parking) at 

a single site. However, the below-grade 

parking at Building 20 could be retained 

to meet parking needs associated with 

the replacement BEQ Complex. To 

comply with current standards and 

continue to meet MBW mission 

requirements, the Marine Corps needs to 

either acquire property, establish a 

tenant site on federal or DoD property, 

or select a site on DoD property to 

accommodate a portion of the 

replacement BEQ requirement (BEQ and 

support facilities) and construct a 

replacement BEQ near the MBW Main 

Post. The Proposed Action does not 

include any change to the MBW mission 

or staffing levels. 

Building 7 interior renovations are 

required to improve space utilization, 

meet life safety standards, improve 

attainment of sustainability goals, and 

address certain AT/FP shortfalls. 

The purpose and need for the 

following projects are aligned with 

fostering MBW integration with the 

community consistent with current UFC 

guidance: 

• Improve the MBW Annex gate at 

7th and K Streets SE to provide a ‘‘sense 

of arrival’’ for both installation 

personnel and visitors. 

• Make aesthetic improvements (e.g., 

signs, door awnings, lighting, and 

landscaping) so that all building 

exteriors present a more attractive, less 

utilitarian appearance to the 

surrounding neighborhood. 

• Incorporate pedestrian-friendly 

amenities (e.g., pedestrian paths, 

signage systems, seating, lighting, and 

landscaping) into MBW properties that 

are safe and appropriately sized to their 

surroundings. 

Each of these projects is a separate, 

distinct, and independently complete 

and actionable project. 

The Draft EIS also discusses the need 

for optimal reuse of Building 20 or the 

Building 20 site and long-term solutions 

for MBW space needs. 

The Draft EIS evaluates five action 

alternatives. Projects analyzed in the 

Draft EIS and common to all five 

alternatives include: 

• Replacement BEQ Complex: A 

multi-story BEQ Complex (including 

parking and support facilities) to replace 

the functions currently housed in 

Building 20. The proposed replacement 

BEQ Complex would be constructed to 

accommodate 125 standard Marine 

Corps 2+0 berthing rooms, which would 

provide a 250-bed sleeping capacity. In 

addition, the replacement BEQ Complex 

would accommodate the following 

supporting uses: Music training, 

enlisted dining facility, company 

administration space, classroom training 

space, fitness facility, and armory. 

• Main Post renovation projects: 

Interior renovations to Building 7 at the 

Main Post.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 74 / Friday, April 17, 2015 / Notices 21227 

• Projects to foster integration of 

MBW with the community: These 

include improvements to the MBW 

Annex gate at 7th and K Streets SE. and 

improvements to the building facades, 

fencing, infrastructure, pedestrian 

amenities, and landscaping throughout 

the installation. 

Alternative 1—Site A. Under 

Alternative 1, the Marine Corps would 

acquire privately owned land and a 

government-owned right-of-way (ROW) 

for the proposed BEQ Complex. 

Alternative 1, Site A, consists of 3.0 

acres in Squares 929 and 930 and an 

approximate 340-foot segment of L 

Street between 8th and 9th Streets SE. 

The affected segment of L Street SE. 

would be closed to vehicular and 

pedestrian traffic and street parking. For 

the purposes of this EIS, it is expected 

that the replacement BEQ Complex 

would be constructed within the L 

Street ROW. 

Alternative 2—Site B. Under 

Alternative 2, the Marine Corps would 

acquire privately-owned land and a 

government-owned ROW for the 

replacement BEQ Complex. Alternative 

2, Site B, consists of 1.8 acres in Square 

976 and an approximate 315-foot 

segment of the L Street ROW between 

10th and 11th Streets SE. Unlike 

Alternative 1, there would be no 

construction within the L Street ROW. 

This segment of L Street would be 

closed to vehicular traffic and on-street 

parking, but it would remain open for 

pedestrians. No structures would be 

constructed within the adjacent Virginia 

Avenue Park, and the park would 

remain open to public use. The segment 

of the ROW and the adjacent portion of 

Virginia Avenue Park are included 

within this site as a means of satisfying 

the AT/FP vehicular standoff distance, 

while also allowing public use to 

continue. 

Alternative 3—Site C. The land 

comprising Site C is federally-owned, 

but subject to a master development 

plan and agreement between GSA and a 

private developer (Forest City 

Washington) authorized by prior special 

legislation. An agreement with Forest 

City Washington and GSA to transfer 

Site C to the DoN/USMC would be 

required in order for Site C to be 

selected. Under Alternative 3, the 

Marine Corps obtain appropriate real 

estate interest in a portion of the 

federally owned land at the Southeast 

Federal Center (SEFC) for the proposed 

replacement BEQ Complex and a 3-story 

above ground parking structure. 

Alternative 3, Site C, is 2.1 acres within 

Square 853, bounded by M Street SE. to 

the north and Tingey Street SE. to the 

south. In addition to having to reach an 

agreement with Forest City Washington 

and GSA, under this alternative, the 

SEFC ‘‘The Yards’’ Redevelopment 

Master Plan would need to be revised. 

Alternative 4—Site D. Under 

Alternative 4, the Marine Corps would 

establish a tenant site on 1.67 acres of 

federally owned land at the northern 

end of Square 953, within the boundary 

of the Washington Navy Yard (WNY). 

The existing land use includes an 

administrative building (Building 169) 

as well as tennis and basketball courts 

east of Building 169, all of which have 

been identified as areas for potential 

redevelopment in the WNY Master Plan 

(approved by the National Capital 

Planning Commission on November 6, 

2014). Also included is the parking lot 

south of Building 169 (16 spaces) and 

potentially a portion of Poor Street that 

connects Parsons Avenue and 10th 

Street SE. BEQ construction on this site 

would require the demolition of 

Building 169, which is currently 

occupied by MBW functions. The 

existing below-grade parking at the 

Building 20 site would be maintained to 

satisfy the BEQ Complex parking 

requirement. 

Alternative 5—Site E. Under 

Alternative 5, the Marine Corps would 

use 0.89-acre within the boundary of the 

MBW Annex (Squares 881 and 881W). 

For the purposes of this EIS, it is 

expected that the replacement BEQ 

Complex construction would occur 

within the 6th Street L’Enfant Plan 

viewshed between Building 25 (Annex 

building) and Building 26 (Annex 

parking garage). The new facility would 

be sited as close to Building 25 as 

possible and would connect via a 

breezeway between the replacement 

BEQ Complex and the western end of 

Building 25. The site currently contains 

a basketball court that would be 

relocated to the north of Building 25. 

The existing below-grade parking at the 

Building 20 site would be maintained to 

satisfy the BEQ Complex parking 

requirement. 

The Marine Corps has not identified 

a preferred alternative at this time. Each 

of the action alternatives involve tradeoffs among economic, technical, 

environmental, and Marine Corps 

statutory mission requirements. A 

preferred alternative will be selected in 

the Final EIS after public comments on 

the Draft EIS are evaluated.
