DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Air Force

Notice of Intent To Prepare

Environmental Assessment for the

Realignment, McChord AFB, WA

The United States Air Force (USAF)

will prepare an Environmental

Assessment (EA) with the potential for

an Environmental Impact Statement to

assess the potential environmental

impacts of the basing 48 C–17 aircraft to

McChord AFB, south of Tacoma,

Washington. The beddown of the C–17

aircraft at McChord is necessary to best

support the Nation’s military strategy,

and airlift needs. The proposed action

would fulfill wartime requirements and

peacetime training needs while

providing a replacement for the retiring

C–141 aircraft.

The proposed realignment would

locate C–17 aircraft, associated

personnel, units, and equipment to

McChord and entails approximately

$120M in construction on the base.

Under the No Action alternative, no

aircraft would be based at McChord

since the C–141 aircraft are being retired

as part of a separate action.

The Air Force will conduct a public

meeting to ensure that the analysis

addresses the appropriate scope of

issues and depth of analysis for the

proposed action. Public comments will

be considered in the preparation of the

EA. Notice of the date, time, and

location of the meeting will be made

available to public officials, the

community, and the news media at a

later date. Written comments on the

scope of alternatives and impacts will

also be accepted and considered.

To ensure that the Air Force will have

sufficient time to consider all

appropriate comments, please forward

comments to the address listed below by

June 7, 1996. The Air Force will accept

appropriate input any time throughout

this process. If the Air Force were to

decide to propose an EIS, this process

may be substituted for the scoping

process that would normally precede an

EIS.

Please direct any written comments of

requests for further information

concerning this action to: Mr. Michael

Grenko, 62 SPTG/CEV, 555 A. Street,

McChord AFB, WA 98438–1325, (206)

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement for

Expansion of German Air Force

Aircraft Operations, Holloman AFB, NM

The United States Air Force will

prepare an Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) to analyze the potential

environmental impacts of operating

additional German Air Force (GAF)

Tornado aircraft at Holloman AFB. The

proposed action would relocate 30

Tornado aircraft, equipment, and

approximately 500 support personnel to

Holloman. The proposed action would

also include the construction of a new

tactical target range within the existing

impact area of the McGreagor Army

Range, New Mexico, construction of

additional support facilities at

Holloman AFB, increased use of

Military Training Routes (MTRs) and

Military Operations Areas (MOAs). The

United States Army and the Bureau of

Land Management will be cooperating

agencies in this EIS.

No live ordnance would be used on

the proposed new range. The proposed

range would provide an air-to-ground

weapons delivery site for air crews

training in low level navigation, terrain

following radar operations, and low

level combat tactics. Aircraft would

access the proposed range using existing

MTRs. Alternatives under consideration

include (1) Beddown of Tornado aircraft

at Holloman but no air-to-ground range

and (2) The No Action alternative.

The Air Force will conduct a series of

scoping meetings to solicit public input

concerning the proposed action and

alternatives. Notice of the date, time and

location of the meeting will be made

available to public officials, the

community, and the news media at a

later date. For those unable to attend

any of the scheduled scoping meetings,

written comments will be accepted by

the Air Force at the address below

through July 1, 1996. The Air Force will

accept appropriate comments at any

time during the environmental analysis

process.

Please direct any written comments or

requests for further information to: Ms.

Sheryl Parker, HQ ACC/CEVA, Langley

AFB, VA 23665–2769, (804) 764–3328.

BILLING CODE 3710–08–M

Corps of Engineers

Jacksonville District, Jacksonville,

Florida; Intent to Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for the Maintenance Dredging of

the Miami River, Dade County, Florida

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DOD.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The Jacksonville District, U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers intends to

prepare a Draft Environmental Impact

Statement for the Maintenance Dredging

of the Miami River, Dade County,

Florida. The study is a cooperative effort

between the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers and the Dade County

Department of Environmental Resource

Management (DERM).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions about the proposed action

and DEIS can be answered by: Mr. Rea

N. Boothby, 904–232–3453,

Environmental Branch, Planning

Division, P.O. Box 4970, Jacksonville,

Florida 32232–0019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dredging

to create a Federal Navigation channel

in the Miami River was completed in

1933. The Federal project extends from

the mouth of the river at its confluence

with Biscayne Bay approximately 5.5

miles west to a salinity structure near

NW 36th Street. Congressional

resolutions were passed in 1972 for

sediment removal from the Miami River.

The Water Resources Development Act

of 1974 authorized removal of

sediments from Miami River. The Water

Resources Development Act of 1986

authorized removal of contaminated

sediments from Miami River and the

Seybold Canal in the interest of

improved water quality. The 1991

Energy and Water Development

Appropriations Act provided funds to

initiate pre-construction engineering

and design for sediment removal from

Miami River and the Seybold Canal.

A revised 1990 Feasibility Report on

the dredging of the Miami River and

Seybold Canal concluded that there was

no justification for sediment removal

based on environmental purposes, but

that there may be justification for

maintenance dredging of Miami River in

the interest of navigation. It should be

noted that the Seybold Canal portion of

the project is not justified economically

and has been dropped from further

consideration.

Several alternatives are being studied

and will be addressed in the DEIS.

These include the use of various

mechanical and/or hydraulic dredges;

methods of transporting, unloading and

transferring dredged material; use of

interim disposal sites and the final

disposal site(s).

The preferred alternative at this point

is the use of some type of mechanical

dredge to remove sediment and debris.

Dredged material would then be loaded

into geotextile fabric containers (GFC’s)

and transported in split-hull barges to

the Miami Ocean Dredged Material

Disposal Site (ODMDS) for disposal.

Material placed in the GFC’s would be

positioned for disposal in the ODMDS

and capped with material from on-going

and future operation and maintenance

activities.

SCOPING: A scoping workshop was held

in Miami on September 5, 1991.

Agencies, organizations, and

individuals were sent a notice of

alternatives proposed and issues raised

at that scoping meeting and invited to

respond. A formal scoping meeting is

not planned at this time. However, a

scoping letter containing a description

of the most recent alternatives will be

sent to Federal, State, and local agencies

and interested organizations and

individuals.

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: We invite the

participation of affected Federal, state

and local agencies, affected Indian

tribes, and other interested private

organizations and parties. A Preliminary

Draft EIS has been prepared. A copy of

this document is being placed in the

Main Library located at 101 West Flagler

Street, Miami, Florida. The library hours

are: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through

Saturday; 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and

1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The Draft

EIS will follow the preliminary DEIS

and will incorporate the results of

scoping and public involvement.

COORDINATION: The proposed action will

be coordinated with the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National

Marine Fisheries Service under Section

7 of the Endangered Species Act, with

the FWS under the Fish and Wildlife

Coordination Act, and with the State

Historic Preservation Officer.

OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND

CONSULTATION: The proposed action may

involve the following: (1) evaluation for

disposal of dredged material into Ocean

Waters under Section 103 of the Marine

Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries

Act; (2) evaluation pursuant to Section

404(b) of the Clean Water Act; (3)

certification of water quality by the

State pursuant to Section 401 of the

Clean Water Act; (4) determination of

Coastal Zone consistency pursuant to

the Coastal Zone Management Act; and

(5) other state and local requirements.

DEIS PREPARATION: It is estimated that

the DEIS will be available to the public

in the summer of 1996.
