BILLING CODE 6353–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Public Scoping for Environmental 

Impact Statement—Real Estate 

Transaction and Related Utilities 

Infrastructure Upgrade at U.S. Army 

Garrison—West Point and Vicinity 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, 

Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as implemented by Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations, the 

Department of the Army announces its 

intent to prepare an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) to analyze a real 

estate transaction and a related utilities 

infrastructure upgrade. The real estate 

transaction would alter, where 

necessary, an existing transmission line 

easement at West Point, NY, and would 

grant to Orange and Rockland Utilities 

(O&R) a new 150-foot-wide transmission 

line easement at West Point. These 

measures would allow O&R to upgrade 

its existing 34.5-kilovolt (kV) electrical 

transmission line and associated 

infrastructure between its Woodbury 

Transition Station (in the Town of 

Woodbury, NY), West Point, NY, and 

the neighboring Village of Highland 

Falls, NY. The EIS will evaluate the 

environmental impact of the Proposed 

Action, to include its impact on 

adjacent properties. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

August 29, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Please send any written 

comments or questions to Mr. 

Christopher Pray via email 

(christopher.c.pray.civ@army.mil) or via 

regular mail: U.S. Army Garrison—West 

Point NEPA Coordinator (Attn: AMIM– 

MLP–E), Building 667A, Ruger Road, 

West Point, NY 10996. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Christopher Pray at the above addresses 

or at phone number (845) 938–7122. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the Proposed Action is to 

allow O&R to expand transmission 

capacity and ensure system redundancy. 

The Proposed Action is needed because 

West Point’s electric demand is nearing 

total system capacity. There is no 

backup in case of emergency and/or 

planned outages. The current 34.5kV 

system consists of two 19-megawatt 

(MW) circuits (38MW total). No reserve 

capacity exists in either circuit, 

resulting in a lack of redundant 

capabilities for a significant number of 

hours each year. Because the 

neighboring communities of Highland 

Falls and Fort Montgomery both receive 

their electricity from the same 34.5kV 

system that supplies West Point, these 

municipalities would also benefit from 

having a fully redundant electrical 

system. The Proposed Action would 

increase overall energy resiliency. 

Implementing the Proposed Action 

would allow U.S. Army Garrison—West 

Point (USAG—West Point) to continue 

to improve and modernize the 

educational facilities and infrastructure 

of the U.S. Military Academy as part of 

USAG—West Point’s larger master 

planning efforts. 

The Proposed Action includes the 

following steps: 

• USAG—West Point would enter 

into a real estate transaction with O&R 

to alter, where necessary, the alignment 

of the existing transmission line 

easement along approximately eight 

miles of West Point property and grant 

a new, approximately one-mile-long, 

150-foot-wide easement on West Point 

property to connect the upgraded 

transmission line to a new Wilson Gate 

Collocated Substation at West Point. 

• O&R would construct two 

temporary, overhead (OH), 34.5kV 

transmission lines where necessary to 

maintain service. O&R would use 

existing transmission lines to the 

greatest extent possible. 

• O&R would install a mobile 

substation at the O&R Dean Substation 

on Mine Torne Road at West Point. 

• O&R would decommission the 

existing 34.5kV transmission line to 

West Point, Highland Falls, and Fort 

Montgomery. 

• O&R would construct an upgraded 

138kV transmission line, an upgraded 

O&R Dean Substation, a new three-way 

switching station along the transmission 

line easement outside the O&R Dean 

Substation, an upgraded O&R Harriman 

Substation (in the Town of Woodbury, 

NY), and an upgraded USAG—West 

Point Delafield Substation. USAG— 

West Point and O&R would then 

construct a new, co-owned, Wilson Gate 

Collocated Substation at West Point. 

• O&R would decommission the 

temporary, OH, 34.5kV transmission 

line, the O&R Highland Falls Substation, 

and the existing USAG—West Point 

Wilson Gate Substation. 

The transmission line upgrade would 

require additional real estate 

transactions between O&R and the State

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 135 / Friday, July 15, 2022 / Notices 42449 

of New York and between O&R and 

private landowners. Such transactions 

are necessary to alter the alignment of— 

and to build on—those portions of the 

existing transmission line easement not 

located on West Point property. 

The new Wilson Gate Collocated 

Substation would be built near the 

existing USAG—West Point Wilson Gate 

Substation. The new Wilson Gate 

Collocated Substation would be divided 

into two sections, one serving West 

Point and the other serving the 

surrounding communities. Upon 

completion of the project, the existing 

USAG—West Point Wilson Gate 

Substation would be decommissioned 

but maintained for switching purposes. 

The EIS will analyze at least two 

transmission line route alternatives and 

a No-Action Alternative. The route 

alternatives would alter the alignment of 

the existing easement where necessary. 

The Northern Route to Wilson Gate 

Collocated Substation Alternative 

would grant an additional easement to 

O&R from the vicinity of the USAG— 

West Point Delafield Substation to the 

new Wilson Gate Collocated Substation. 

The Southern Route to Wilson Gate 

Collocated Substation Alternative 

would grant an additional easement to 

O&R from where the transmission line 

would split north of the intersection of 

Stony Lonesome Road and Route 9W, to 

the new Wilson Gate Collocated 

Substation. 

The Proposed Action is expected to 

impact multiple resources, including 

wildlife, vegetation, threatened and 

endangered species, water resources 

(including state and federally regulated 

wetlands, surface waters, and 

floodplains), land use (including the 

Hudson River Coastal Zone), cultural 

resources, state park lands, the Hudson 

River view shed, topography, and soils. 

Construction activities would create 

noise and would impact air quality and 

traffic. Because of the size of the 

affected area, the project could have 

significant environmental impacts. The 

particular resources that would 

experience significant impacts are 

unknown at this time. 

Consultation with federal and state 

agencies is required and will include: 

• Section 7 consultation under the 

Endangered Species Act; 

• New York State endangered species 

review; 

• Section 106 consultation under the 

National Historic Preservation Act; and 

• preparation of a coastal zone 

consistency determination. 

O&R will need to obtain a number of 

federal, state, and local permits and 

approvals, including an Article VII 

Certificate of Environmental 

Compatibility and Public Need from the 

New York State Public Service 

Commission. 

USAG—West Point developed a 

tentative schedule for the EIS. Two 

public meetings will occur 

approximately 20 days after Federal 

Register publication of this NOI. A Draft 

EIS is expected to be released for public 

review in late spring 2023, with public 

meetings to follow within 

approximately 20 days. The Final EIS 

will take into consideration all timely 

comments regarding the Draft EIS and is 

projected to be released in winter 2023– 

24. A Record of Decision is anticipated 

in late spring 2024. 

Native American Tribes, government 

agencies, organizations, and individuals 

are invited to participate in the scoping 

process for this EIS by attending public 

meetings and/or by submitting written 

comments. USAG—West Point requests 

potential alternatives, information, and 

analyses relevant to the Proposed 

Action. 

Due to the COVID–19 pandemic and 

the need to maintain social distancing, 

all public meeting materials will be 

provided online and all public meetings 

will convene by phone. Public meeting 

materials can be accessed at: https://

home.army.mil/westpoint/index.php/
