BILLING CODE 3810–FF–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Record of Decision (ROD) for the 

Implementation of the Base Closure 

and Realignment (BRAC) 2005 Actions 

at Fort Monroe, VA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Record of Decision. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

announces the availability of the ROD, 

which summarizes the decision on how 

to implement property disposal in 

accordance with the Defense Base 

Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 

(the Base Closure Act), Public Law 101– 

510, as amended, following the closure 

of Fort Monroe, Virginia. 

The Army has decided to implement 

its preferred alternative of early transfer 

of surplus non-reverting federal 

property to other entities for reuse. 

Pursuant to the National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and its 

implementing regulations, the Army 

prepared a Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) that includes the 

evaluation of the environmental and 

socioeconomic impacts of disposing of 

surplus Federal property that does not 

revert to the Commonwealth of Virginia, 

and the implementation by others of 

reasonable, foreseeable reuse 

alternatives for the entire property. 

Under the early transfer alternative, the 

Army can transfer and dispose of nonreverting property for redevelopment 

before environmental remedial actions 

have been completed. This method of 

early disposal, allowable under Section 

120(h)(3)(C) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, Compensation 

and Liability Act (CERCLA), would 

defer the CERCLA covenant requirement 

to complete all necessary environmental 

cleanup prior to the transfer of the 

remediated property. In this way, 

parcels could become available for 

redevelopment and reuse sooner under 

this disposal alternative than under any 

other. The Governor of the 

Commonwealth of Virginia must concur 

with the deferral request for the nonreversionary property at Fort Monroe. 

ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the 

ROD, contact Mr. Robert Reali, Fort 

Monroe BRAC Environmental 

Coordinator, Directorate of Public 

Works, 318 Cornog Lane, Fort Monroe,
