downtown San Diego at the edge of

northern San Diego Bay. It is bordered

by the community of Point Loma to the

west, the Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare

Training Center to the south, the U.S.

Marine Corps Recruit Depot to the

northeast, and the San Diego

International Airport (Lindberg Field) to

the eastern boundary.

The EIS/EIR will analyze the

environmental effects of the disposal of

NTC based on potential reasonable

reuses of the property, taking into

account uses identified by the City of

San Diego and as determined during the

scoping process. The City’s NTC Reuse

Planning Committee has proposed a

draft reuse plan which identifies several

uses for the property. The draft reuse

plan includes such uses as: residential;

educational; a mixture of active and

passive recreational open space; retail

and cultural uses; and galleries and

exhibit space in the historic core of the

site. Alternatives being considered

would include airport expansion,

housing types, hotel use, and a Public

Safety Academy. Major environmental

issues that will be addressed in the

document would include, but are not

limited to traffic, cultural and biological

resources, land uses, visual quality,

socioeconomics, community services

and utilities, and noise.

ADDRESSES: The Navy will conduct a

scoping meeting on Tuesday, June 11,

1996, beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the NTC

Support Center, Building 623, Cushing

Road (NTC Support Center can be

accessed from Gate 1 located at the

corner of Lytton Avenue and Barnett

Avenue), San Diego, California. A brief

description of the proposed action will

precede request for public comment.

Navy and City representatives will be

available at this meeting to receive

comments from the public regarding

issues of concern. Federal, state and

local agencies, and interested parties are

invited to be present or represented at

the meeting. Oral comments will be

heard and transcribed by a

stenographer. To assure accuracy of the

record, all comments should be

submitted in writing. All comments,

both oral and written, will become part

of the public record in the study. In the

interest of available time, each speaker

will be asked to limit oral comments to

five minutes. Longer comments should

be summarized at the public meeting

and submitted in writing either at the

meeting or mailed to the address listed

below. Written comments must be

received by June 25, 1996, to become

part of the official record. Additional

Notice of Intent to Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement for

Construction and Operation of an East

Coast Shallow Water Training Range

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Executive Order

(EO) 12114, and the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as

implemented by the Council on

Environmental Quality Regulations (40

CFR 1500–1508), the Department of

Navy announces its intent to prepare an

environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

for the construction and operation of a

shallow water training range (SWTR)

near the coast of the United States. The

proposed action involves the

establishment of an instrumented range

in water depths of 120 to 1200 feet.

The project is proposed to meet the

new need for shallow water submarine

training for the Atlantic Fleet. The

action seaward of 12 nautical miles

(nm), which will be evaluated under EO

12114, includes installation of bottommounted transducers, which will collect

information about naval units training

in the SWTR. This information will be

used to monitor and evaluate the

performance of these units during

training operations. The SWTR will also

be used in conjunction with other

offshore air, land, and water-based

training activities. The SWTR will be

built in four phases of 125 square

nautical miles each. The transducers

will be connected to the shore by cable,

and may be trenched in using standard

telephone cabling technology. The

action to be evaluated under NEPA

includes the cable placement and the

shore-based construction associated

with the SWTR.

Alternatives to be addressed in the

EIS will focus on means of meeting

training requirements, including

alternative onshore construction sites,

and offshore training sites. In order to

take advantage of nearby naval facilities

such as homeports and training

facilities, four sites were evaluated in a

site alternatives study: offshore of Cape

Ann, Massachusetts (in the Gulf of

Maine); offshore of Wallops Island,

Virginia; offshore of the New River,

North Carolina; and offshore of

Charleston, South Carolina. The Cape

Ann and Charleston sites were

eliminated as unreasonable because

they did not meet operational

requirements. The site off of Wallops

Island, Virginia, and the site offshore of

the New River, North Carolina are the

reasonable alternatives that will be

evaluated in the EIS.

ADDRESSES: Agencies and the public are

encouraged to provide written scoping

comments. To be most helpful,

comments should clearly describe

specific issues or topics which the EIS

should address. Written comments

should be postmarked by June 3, 1996,

and should be mailed to Commanding

Officer, Altantic Division, Naval

Facilities Engineering Command, 1510

Gilbert Street, Norfolk, VA 23511–6287,
