Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) for Disposal and Reuse of Fort 

Monroe, VA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA). 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

announces the availability of the FEIS 

which evaluates the potential 

environmental and socioeconomic 

impacts associated with the disposal 

and reuse of Fort Monroe, Virginia. 

DATES: The waiting period for the FEIS 

will end 30 days after publication of an 

NOA in the Federal Register by the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the FEIS 

contact Ms. Robin Mills, Chief, 

Directorate of Public Works, 318 Cornog 

Lane, Fort Monroe, VA 23651 or e-mail 

request to 

monr.post.nepapublic@us.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEIS 

covers activities associated with the 

disposal and reuse of Fort Monroe. The 

2005 BRAC Commission Report directed 

the closure of Fort Monroe and the 

relocation of certain tenant 

organizations to Fort Eustis, Virginia 

and Fort Knox, Kentucky. Closure is 

required no later than September 15, 

2011. 

Following closure, the property 

(approximately 565 acres) will be excess 

to Army needs and the Army proposes 

to dispose of its remaining real property 

interests. The Fort Monroe Federal Area 

Development Authority (FMFADA) 

developed the Fort Monroe Reuse Plan 

formally adopted in August 2008. The 

plan is available as an appendix of the 

FEIS. On July 1, 2010, the FMFADA will 

restructure and become the Fort Monroe 

Authority. After September 15, 2011, 

when Fort Monroe is no longer used for 

national defense purposes, there will be 

property reverting to the 

Commonwealth of Virginia and property 

disposed of by the Federal Government. 

For non-reverting property, there are 

four alternatives analyzed in the FEIS: 

Alternative 1, No Action Alternative, 

under which the Army would continue 

operations at Fort Monroe at levels 

similar to those occurring prior to the 

BRAC Commission’s recommendation 

for closure; Alternative 2, Early Transfer 

Alternative, under which transfer and 

reuse of the property would occur 

before environmental remediation 

actions have been completed on all 

individual parcels; Alternative 3, 

Traditional Disposal Alternative, under 

which transfer and reuse of the property 

would occur once environmental 

remediation is complete on all 

individual parcels of the installation; 

and Alternative 4, Caretaker Status 

Alternative, which begins following the 

closure of the installation in the event 

that the Army is unable to dispose of the 

property, after which time the 

maintenance of the property would be 

reduced to minimal activities not 

inconsistent with the Programmatic 

Agreement necessary to ensure security, 

health, and safety, and to avoid physical 

deterioration of facilities. The Army’s 

preferred alternative for the disposal of 

Fort Monroe is Alternative 2, the early 

transfer of non-reverting property. 

Under this alternative, the Army 

transfers the non-reverting property 

before completion of all environmental 

cleanup. Three reuse scenarios, based 

on lower bracket, middle bracket, and 

upper bracket intensity levels of reuse 

are also evaluated as secondary actions 

of disposal of Fort Monroe. The FEIS 

addresses reuse of all property on Fort 

Monroe, including property that will 

revert back to the Commonwealth of 

Virginia. These reuse scenarios 

encompass the level of reuse expected 

under the Reuse Plan, which is 

considered the middle bracket scenario. 

For early transfer (Alternative 2) and 

traditional disposal alternatives 

(Alternative 3), significant adverse 

effects would be expected to occur to 

transportation, and moderate adverse 

effects would be expected to occur to 

noise, land use, biological resources, 

and cultural resources. The caretaker 

alternative (Alternative 4) would have 

moderate adverse effects on aesthetic/ 

visual resources, cultural resources, and 

utilities. Of the three reuse scenarios 

analyzed in the FEIS, middle and upper 

bracket reuse would be expected to 

result in significant adverse effects in 

the area of transportation. Middle and 

upper bracket reuse would also be 

expected to result in moderate adverse 

effects on noise, land use, biological 

resources, and cultural resources. Lower 

bracket reuse would not have any 

moderate or significant adverse effects. 

The FEIS identifies potential mitigation 

and management measures that would 

decrease the level of adverse effects of 

disposal and reuse. 

A Record of Decision will not be 

issued earlier than 30 days after this 

notice. An electronic version of the FEIS 

can be viewed or downloaded from the
