various statutes which authorize

BILLING CODE 3810–FF–P

Notice of Public Hearing for the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement for

Disposal and Reuse of the Former

Naval Hospital; Philadelphia, PA

Pursuant to Council on

Environmental Quality regulations (40

CFR Parts 1500–1508), implementing

procedural provisions of the National

Environmental Policy Act, the

Department of the Navy has prepared

and filed with the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)

for disposal and reuse of the former

Naval Hospital at Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania.

In accordance with legislative

requirements in the 1990 Base Closure

and Realignment Act (Public Law 101–

510) and the results of the 1988 Base

Closure and Realignment Process, Naval

Hospital Philadelphia was directed to be

closed and made available for reuse.

The former Naval Hospital Philadelphia

is located in the southern portion of the

city of Philadelphia. The Base

encompasses approximately 49 acres of

land and includes a total of 59 buildings

and structures.

The proposed action addressed in the

DEIS is the disposal and subsequent

redevelopment of lands/facilities

determined surplus to the needs of the

Federal Government. A Community

Reuse Plan was prepared by the Mayor

of Philadelphia’s Commission on

Defense Conversion, which included

representation of local groups and

organizations from throughout the

region. The Preferred Redevelopment

Plan proposes demolition of existing

structures on the former Naval Hospital

property and identifies areas to be

redeveloped for a nursing home,

development of market-rate townhomes,

and expansion of the adjacent FDR Park

including new parking area.

In the preparation of the Reuse Plan,

consideration was given to the possible

reuse of the Property Base by other

Federal, State, and local agencies,

homeless support organizations,

business interests and recreational

users. Various reuse scenarios were

developed by the Commission, and a

preferred Reuse Plan was identified and

approved by the Commission following

public review and evaluation. The DEIS

has been prepared to address

environmental consequences of

implementing the comprehensive Reuse

Plan. Potential impacts addressed

include, but are not limited to,

community services, traffic, air quality,

water quality, vegetation and wildlife,

cultural resources, noise and land use.

The DEIS has been distributed to

various Federal, State, and local

agencies, elected officials, special

interest groups, libraries and the media.

A limited number of single copies are

available at the address listed at the end

of this notice.

The Department of the Navy will hold

a public hearing to inform the public of

the DEIS findings and to solicit

comments. The hearing will be held at

7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 22,

1995, at the Holy Spirit Church Hall,

1835 Hartranft Street, Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania. Should inclement

weather preclude holding the public

scoping meeting on this date, the

alternate date for the meeting will be

Thursday, March 23, 1995 (meeting to

be held at the same location). If there is

any question of meeting date in the

event of inclement weather, contact the

person listed at the end of this notice for

confirmation. The public hearing will

continue until 10:30 p.m. or until the

conclusion of public comments. The

public hearing will be conducted by the

Navy. Federal, State, and local agencies

and interested parties are invited and

urged to attend or be represented at the
