BILLING CODE 5001–06–C 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Training Land Purchase at Fort Polk, 

LA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: The U. S. Army intends to 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) to analyze 

environmental and socioeconomic 

impacts connected with the proposed 

purchase and use of up to 100,000 

additional acres of commercial and 

private lands for training adjacent to 

Fort Polk. This action will support the 

training requirements of the Joint 

Readiness Training Center (JRTC) and 

the training requirements of Fort Polk’s 

current and future resident units. The 

EIS will analyze alternatives that are 

deemed feasible and meet the purpose 

and need for this Proposed Action. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Susan Walker, Fort Polk Public Affairs 

Office (PAO), 7073 Radio Road, Fort 

Polk, LA 71459–5342; or by phone at 

(337) 531–9125 during normal business 

hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. c.s.t. Written 

comments may be mailed to the PAO 

address or e-mailed to 

Susan.T.Walker@conus.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fort Polk, 

located in west-central Louisiana, is 

home to the JRTC Operations Group; 1st 

Maneuver Enhancement Brigade; 

Brigade, 10th Mountain Division; 1st 

Battalion, 509th Infantry Regiment; 162 

Infantry Training Brigade; 5th Aviation 

Battalion; and the 115th Combat 

Support Hospital. Fort Polk’s primary 

missions include supporting these units 

and the operations of one of the Army’s 

Combat Training Centers (CTC), the 

Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC). 

The JRTC is one of three Army 

Maneuver CTCS and is the only CTC 

that is focused on Army light forces. 

Army CTCs provide units and Soldiers 

with the most challenging and realistic 

training possible. 

Fort Polk is currently comprised of 

approximately 198,130 acres of U.S. 

Army owned land and lands the Army 

uses under a U.S. Forest Service permit. 

In order to meet the training 

requirements of Fort Polk’s units and 

the JRTC, the Army has identified a 

need to purchase up to 100,000 acres of 

additional land to enhance realistic 

training conditions. The Army proposes 

to purchase additional maneuver 

training land to better meet the training 

needs of the JRTC and Fort Polk’s 

current and future resident units. This 

additional land will enhance training 

for Fort Polk units and units deploying 

to JRTC and will allow Soldiers to train 

to more realistic standards in 

preparation for operational deployment. 

The Fort Polk EIS will analyze the 

environmental and socioeconomic 

impacts of several purchase location 

alternatives, each of which could 

include the purchase of up to 100,000 

acres of land. Alternative I considers the 

purchase of lands directly adjacent to 

Fort Polk’s existing training areas to the 

south of Peason Ridge and directly 

north and east of the main post. 

Alternative 2 considers the purchase of 

lands to the south and east of Peason 

Ridge and parcels that connect Peason 

Ridge with Fort Polk’s main post. As 

part of Alternative 2, two parcels of land 

directly adjacent to the eastern side of 

main post are also being considered for 

purchase. The Army will also analyze 

the No Action Alternative, which will 

evaluate the impacts of taking no action 

to purchase additional training land 

around Fort Polk. Resource areas which 

may be impacted include air quality, 

traffic, noise, water resources, biological 

resources, cultural resources, 

socioeconomics, utilities, land use, solid 

and hazardous materials/waste, and 

cumulative environmental effects. 

Impacts to these resources may occur as 

a result of converting from existing land 

uses to military training. 

The public is invited to participate in 

the scoping process. The scoping 

process begins with the publication of 

this Notice of Intent in the Federal 

Register and will last for 30 days. The 

scoping process will include at least 

three public scoping meetings, which 

are opportunities for the public to 

receive information about the proposed 

action and alternatives and to assist the 

Army in determining issues related to 

the proposed purchase to be addressed 

in the EIS. These meetings will be held 

in communities surrounding Fort Polk 

and the specific details of the meetings 

will be announced in local media 

sources. The public will also be invited 

to review and comment on the Draft EIS 

when it is available for review. 

Comments from the public will be 

considered before any decision is made 

regarding implementing the proposed 

action at Fort Polk. 

Dated: April 8, 2009.

Principal Assistant, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary of the Army, Environment, Safety
