DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement (SEIS) for the Disposal and 

Reuse of Hunters Point Shipyard, San 

Francisco, California and To Announce 

a Public Scoping Meeting 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 

(102)(2)(c)of the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, and the 

regulations implemented by the Council 

on Environmental Quality (40 CFR Parts 

1500–1508), the Department of the Navy 

(Navy) announces its intent to prepare 

a Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement (SEIS) to evaluate the 

potential environmental consequences 

of the proposed disposal and reuse of 

the surplus portion of Hunters Point 

Shipyard, San Francisco, California. 

DATES AND ADDRESSES: A public scoping 

meeting will be held on Tuesday, 

September 23, 2008, from 6 p.m. to 8 

p.m. at the Southeast Community 

Facility, Alex L. Pitcher Community 

Room, 1800 Oakdale Avenue, San 

Francisco, California 94124. The 

purpose of the meeting will be to 

receive oral and written comments on 

environmental concerns that should be 

addressed in the SEIS. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Patrick McCay, telephone: 619–532–

0906; E-Mail: patrick.mccay@navy.mil 

or write to: Director, BRAC PMO West, 

ATTN: Mr. Patrick McCay, 1455 Frazee 

Road, Suite 900, San Diego, CA 92108. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposal being evaluated in the SEIS is 

the disposal and reuse of Hunters Point 

Shipyard, which encompasses 

approximately 860 acres (417 acres of 

dry land and 443 acres of submerged 

land) on a peninsula along San 

Francisco’s southeastern waterfront 

between the City’s Financial District 

and San Francisco International Airport. 

In 2004, Parcel A, approximately 76 

acres, was transferred to the City of San 

Francisco and is not considered as part 

of the proposed federal action. The new 

proposed federal action is a change in 

reuse from, and represents an 

amendment to, the original proposed 

Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan, as 

addressed by the Navy in the ‘‘Final EIS 

for the Disposal and Reuse of Hunters 

Point Shipyard’’ (March 2000). 

The Navy is the action proponent for 

the new proposal, which is also a 

component of the Bayview Waterfront 

Project being addressed in an 

Environmental Impact Report by the 

Redevelopment Agency of the City and 

County of San Francisco and the 

Planning Department of the City and 

County of San Francisco. The purpose 

of and need for the proposed action is 

to dispose of surplus federal property at 

Hunters Point Shipyard which was 

closed in accordance with the Defense 

Base Closure and Realignment for 

subsequent reuse. 

For the SEIS, two alternatives will be 

considered as part of the disposal and 

reuse action: Stadium Plan Alternative 

and Non-Stadium Plan Alternative. The 

Stadium Plan Alternative includes a 

mixed-use community comprising 2,500 

new residential units, 125,000 square 

feet of retail space, 2,000,000 square feet 

of research and development (R&D) 

space, 250 acres of parks and 

recreational open space, and civic and 

community uses. A major component 

would be a new, 69,000-seat National 

Football League stadium for the San 

Francisco 49ers. 

The Non-Stadium Plan Alternative 

would not include the stadium for the 

San Francisco 49ers, but instead would 

provide 5,000,000 square feet of R&D 

space, in addition to the other 

components noted under the Stadium 

Plan Alternative for residential, retail, 

R&D, parks and recreation, and civic 

and community use space. Both action 

alternatives would be consistent with 

specifications of the Bayview Jobs, Parks 

and Housing Initiative (Proposition G), 

which was approved by San Francisco 

voters in June of 2008. 

The SEIS will also consider a No 

Action Alternative. 

Environmental issues areas to be 

addressed in the SEIS include: 

Transportation, traffic and circulation, 

air quality, noise, cultural resources, 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

51798 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 173 / Friday, September 5, 2008 / Notices 

hazards and hazardous materials, land 

use compatibility and policy 

conformity, geology and soils, 

hydrology and water quality, biological 

resources, public services, utilities, 

population and housing, visual 

resources, and energy. 

The Navy will initiate a scoping 

process for the purpose of determining 

the extent of issues to be addressed, and 

identifying significant issues related to 

the disposal and reuse of Hunters Point 

Shipyard. This process will include a 

public scoping meeting as noted in the 

Dates and Addresses Section of this 

notice and which will be advertised in 

area newspapers. 

Navy representatives will be available 

at the meeting to receive comments from 

the public regarding issues of concern. 

Federal, state, and local agencies, and 

interested individuals are encouraged to 

take this opportunity to identify 

environmental concerns that should be 

addressed during the preparation of the 

SEIS. Agencies and the public are also 

invited and encouraged to provide 

written comments on scoping issues in 

addition to, or in lieu of, oral comments 

at the public meeting. To be most 

helpful, scoping comments should 

clearly describe specific issues or topics 

that the commenter believes the SEIS 

should address. 

Written comments must be 

postmarked no later than October 17, 

2008, and mailed to: Director, BRAC 

PMO West, ATTN: Mr. Patrick McCay,
