DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Navy

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement for

the Proposed Disposal and Reuse of

Land and Facilities at Naval Air Station

Barbers Point, Hawaii

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by

the Council on Environmental Quality

regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508),

the Navy announces its intent to prepare

an Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS) for the proposed disposal and

reuse of land and facilities at Naval Air

Station (NAS) Barbers Point, Hawaii.

The Navy is the lead agency for the

NEPA documentation, and the U.S.

Department of Transportation, Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) is the

cooperating agency. The EIS will be

prepared in compliance with the 1993

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)

directive from Congress to close NAS

Barbers Point. The property will be

disposed of in accordance with the

provisions of the Defense Base Closure

and Realignment Act (Public Law 101–

510) of 1990 as amended, and

applicable federal property disposal

regulations. NAS Barbers Point will

close in July 1999. The proposed action is the disposal of

approximately 2,100 acres of property

on NAS Barbers Point. The EIS will

address long-term plans for reuse of this

property. Potential long-term reuse

alternatives have been identified by the

Local Reuse Authority (LRA), i.e., the

State of Hawaii, through a planning

process carried out by the NAS Barbers

Point Redevelopment Commission. The

reuse plan was approved by the

Governor of Hawaii on January 23, 1997. Excluded from consideration in this

EIS are the areas being retained by the

Navy, Coast Guard, National Guard, and

the Federal Aviation Administration.

The Navy is retaining family housing

and support facilities, the commissary,

the Public Works Center compound, the

biosolids treatment and disposal

facility, the golf course, and portion of

the beach recreation areas.

The EIS will analyze potentially

significant impacts of the LRA’s reuse

plan and reasonable alternatives. The

LRA’s reuse plan features a general

reliever airport with a crosswind

runway and large areas devoted to park

and recreation use. Sites are provided to

the Department of Hawaii Home Lands

for residential, commercial, and

industrial uses. Commercial activities

would include a raceway complex,

marine park, and festival center. Lands

are also set aside to accommodate

homeless providers. Various

infrastructure improvements would be

required to support the redevelopment,

including roadways, water distribution,

sanitary sewer, storm drainage,

telephone, and electrical systems. During its planning process, the LRA

considered numerous scenarios and

narrowed them down to three options:

two with a general reliever airport and

one without an airport. The basic

difference between the two airport

scenarios is size. The ‘‘maximum

airport’’ alternative has a cross-runway

configuration on more than 800 acres,

while the ‘‘minimum airport’’ scenario

calls for a single runway airport on

approximately 550 acres. The no airport

scenario designates the majority of land

(more than 1,000 acres) to park and

recreation use. The ‘‘no action’’

alternative assumes no reuse

improvements and continued closure of

the lands to the public. Environmental issues to be addressed

will include, but not be limited to, land

use conflicts and constraints such as

noise, air quality, traffic, aviation

operations, potentially contaminated

sites, functional compatibility of

operations, potential impacts of

redevelopment on cultural and natural

resources, adequacy of infrastructure

and public services, and socioeconomic

impacts. Direct, indirect, and

cumulative impacts will be analyzed.

Mitigation measures will be developed

as required.

ADDRESSES: The Navy will initiate a

scoping process to identify potentially

significant issues to be studied in the

EIS, and to identify and notify

interested and affected parties relative

to this action. Two public scoping

meetings will be held, one on

Wednesday, April 16, 1997 at

Washington Intermediate School

Cafeteria, 1633 South King Street,

Honolulu, HI 96826; and a second on

Thursday, April 17, 1997 at the Lauhala

Room, Paradise West Club, NAS Barbers

Point. Both meetings will start at 7:00

pm. Each meeting will open with a short

presentation on the purpose of the

action and the alternatives to be

evaluated, followed by a period for

public comment. It is important that

interested agencies, individuals, and

organizations take this opportunity to

clearly describe specific issues or topics

that the EIS should address. To allow

time for all views to be shared, each

speaker will be limited to three minutes.

Written statements may also be

submitted at the meetings.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Written statements and/or questions

regarding the scoping process should be

mailed no later than Wednesday, April

30, 1997 to Mr. Fred Minato (Code 231),

Pacific Division, Naval Facilities

Engineering Command, Pearl Harbor, HI
