Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 110 /Tuesday, June 9, 1998 / Notices 31455

It is reasonable to expect that DOE

will provide a portion of the cost for the

military children’s education. The

precise dollar amount of the impacts

cannot be calculated until the students

are actually enrolled in the schools and

the school district files an official

application to DOE for receipt of impact

aid funds.

Public Health and Safety

One commentor expressed concern

that during Santa Ana wind conditions,

the accident potential over the cities of

Oxnard, Camarillo, and Port Hueneme

would increase. The Air Installation

Compatibility Use Zone Program

included Santa Ana conditions in the

calculations for the Accident Potential

Zones (‘‘APZs’’) shown in the FEIS. The

APZs identified for Runway 03/21

mainly encompass agricultural land

with the exception of the Naval Air

Mobile Home Park.

Hazardous Material and Wastes

One commentor expressed concerns

regarding the proportional increased

risk of fuel spills from E–2 aircraft fuel

handling. Spill prevention is an

inherent part of NAWS Point Mugu

fueling operations. All personnel who

handle hazardous materials and wastes

participate in a quarterly training

update and are provided specific spill

response guidance for their work areas.

Conclusions

In deciding where to realign E–2

aircraft from MCAS Miramar, I

considered the following: the 1995

BRAC Commission recommendations;

E–2 operational requirements; costs

associated with construction of

facilities, operation and maintenance of

aircraft, and training of personnel;

environmental impacts; and the

comments received during the DEIS and

FEIS review periods.

After carefully weighing all of these

factors, I have decided, on behalf of the

Department of the Navy, to direct

realignment of four Pacific Fleet E–2

squadrons to NAWS Point Mugu.

Environmental impacts are slightly

more than the NAS Lemoore and NAF

El Centro alternatives; however, the

NAWS Point Mugu alternative is

operationally preferred because of close

proximity to operating areas, is the least

expensive alternative and it fully uses

excess capacity at NAWS Point Mugu.

Implementation of the Naws Point

Mugu alternative will result in

significant but manageable impacts to

air quality and schools. Potentially

significant adverse impacts to cultural

resources will be mitigated to less than

significant levels. The DON will

implement the mitigation measures

identified in this Record of Decision.
