Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 51 / Monday, March 17, 1997 / Notices 12623

CFR Parts 1500–1508), implementing

procedural provisions of the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the

Department of the Navy announces its

intent to prepare a Draft Environmental

Impact Statement (DEIS) for the

proposed disposal and reuse of Naval

Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division

(NAWCAD), Trenton, Ewing Township,

New Jersey.

In 1993, the Congressional Committee

on Base Realignment and Closure

(BRAC) recommended the closure of

NAWCAD Trenton and the subsequent

relocation of functions, personnel,

equipment, and support to the Arnold

Engineering Center, Tullahoma,

Tennessee and the Naval Air Warfare

Center Patuxent River, Maryland. This

recommendation was approved by

President Clinton and accepted by the

One Hundred Third Congress in 1993.

The BRAC legislation also identified the

requirements for compliance with NEPA

stating that the provisions of NEPA shall

apply during the process of property

disposal. Accordingly, with this notice,

the Navy has initiated the process to

prepare a DEIS to evaluate the

environmental effects of the disposal

and likely reuse of this property.

The proposed action to be considered

and evaluated in the DEIS is the

disposal and reuse of the NAWCAD

property determined surplus to the

needs of the federal government. Other

Department of Defense activities, and

other federal government activities

including consideration of the homeless

have been screened in order to

determine possible reuse.

NAWCAD Trenton, located in Mercer

County, New Jersey, consists of about 66

acres with a total of 96 buildings and

structures. As a result of the federal land

disposal screening process, a portion of

the property (about 25 acres) has been

identified for possible transfer to the

Mercer County airport Authority under

a Federal Aviation Administration

conveyance. The US Postal Service may

also be a recipient of about 3 acres of the

66 acre site for use as regional post

office. The remainder will be available

for development through acquisition by

public auction. The NAWCAD Reuse

Committee acting as the Local Reuse

Authority, has prepared a reuse plan for

the NAWCAD property. The plan

represents a reasonable and likely

redevelopment scenario based on the

proposed zoning of the site. The DEIS

will evaluate environmental impacts of

the reuse plan as well as of other

reasonable possible redevelopment

scenarios under current or other zoning

classifications. Navy will also evaluate

the no action alternative, defined as the

retention of NAWCAD Trenton by the

federal government. According to the

State Historic Preservation Officer, the

jet engine test cells complex, located in

three buildings on the southern portion

of the site, are eligible for listing in the

National Register of Historic Places.

ADDRESSES: Navy will hold a public

meeting to further identify the scope of

issues to be addressed in the EIS. The

NAWCAD Reuse Committee will also

solicit public input on its proposed

reuse plan. The meeting will be held on

Wednesday, April 2, 1997, beginning at

7:00 p.m., at the Ewing Township

Municipal Building, 2 Municipal Drive,

Ewing Township, New Jersey. Navy

representatives will make a brief

presentation, then members of the

public will be asked to provide their

comments. Agencies and the public are

encouraged to provide written

comments in addition to, or, in lieu of,

oral comments at the scoping meeting.

To be most helpful, comments should

clearly describe specific issues of topics

which the EIS should address. Written

comments must be postmarked by April

15, 1997, and should be mailed to

Commanding Officer, Northern

Division, Naval Facilities Engineering

Command, Attn. Mr. Bob Ostermueller

(Code 202), 10 Industrial Highway, MSC

82, Lester, PA 19113. All statements,

both oral and written, will become part

of the public record on this action and

will be given equal consideration.
