DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement for Campus 

Development Project Within the Fort 

Meade Complex, MD 

AGENCY: Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice of intent; notice of public 

meeting; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense 

(DOD) announces its intent to prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) as part of the environmental 

planning process for a Campus 

Development Project at Fort George G. 

Meade, Maryland (hereafter referred to 

as Fort Meade). The DOD proposes the 

development of a portion of Fort Meade 

(referred to as ‘‘Site M’’) as an 

operational complex and to construct 

and operate consolidated facilities to 

meet the National Security Agency’s 

(NSA) continually evolving 

requirements and for Intelligence 

Community use. The purpose of the 

Proposed Action is to provide facilities 

that are fully-supportive of the 

Intelligence Community’s mission. The 

need for the action is to consolidate 

multiple agencies’ efforts to ensure 

capabilities for current and future 

mission accomplishments as directed by 

Congress and the President. 

Publication of this notice begins a 

scoping process that identifies and 

determines the scope of environmental 

issues to be addressed in the EIS. This 

notice requests public participation in 

the scoping process and provides 

information on how to participate. 

DATES: There will be an open house at 

4 p.m. followed by a scoping meeting 

from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 

21, 2009, at Fort Meade Middle School, 

1103 26th Street, Fort Meade, Maryland 

20755. Comments or questions 

regarding this EIS should be submitted 

by 45 days from the date of publication 

in the Federal Register to ensure 

sufficient time to consider public input 

in the preparation of the Draft EIS. 

ADDRESSES: The open house and 

scoping meeting will be held at the Fort 

Meade Middle School, 1103 26th Street, 

Fort Meade, Maryland 20755. Oral and 

written comments will be accepted at 

the scoping meeting. You can also 

submit written comments to ‘‘Campus 

Development EIS’’ c/o E2M, 2751 

Prosperity Avenue, Suite 200, Fairfax, 

VA 22031 or submitted by e-mail to 

CampusEIS@e2m.net. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Jeffrey Williams at (301) 688–2970, or email jdwill2@nsa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The NSA is a tenant 

DOD agency on Fort Meade. NSA is a 

high-technology organization that is on 

the frontier of communications and data 

processing. In order to meet mission 

growth requirements as well as provide 

consolidated facilities that are fullysupportive of the Intelligence 

Community’s mission, development of a 

modern operational complex is needed 

at the NSA campus on Fort Meade. 

Proposed Action and Alternatives: 

The Campus Development Project was 

initiated to provide a modern 

operational complex to meet the growth 

requirements of NSA and consolidated 

facilities for Intelligence Community 

use. Development is proposed for a 

portion of Fort Meade (referred to as 

‘‘Site M’’) adjacent to the NSA campus. 

Site M is divided into northern (Site 

M1, 137 acres) and southern (Site M2, 

99 acres) portions. DOD proposes that 

development of Site M occur in three 

option phases over a horizon of 

approximately 20 years. 

• Phase I. Development would occur 

in the near term on the western half of 

Site M1, supporting 1.8 million square 

feet of facilities for NSA to consolidate 

mission elements, enabling services, 

and support services across the campus 

based on function; servicing the need 

for more collaborative environment and 

optimal adjacencies, including 

associated infrastructure (e.g., electrical 

substation and generator plants 

providing 60 megawatts of electricity) 

and administrative functions for up to 

6,500 personnel. 

• Phase II. Development would occur 

in the mid-term on the eastern half of 

Site M1, supporting 1.2 million square 

feet of administrative facilities. 

• Phase III. Development would 

occur on Site M2 in the long term, 

supporting an additional 2.8 million 

square feet of administrative facilities, 

bringing built space to 5.8 million 

square feet for up to 11,000 personnel. 

Alternatives identified include each 

of the development phases identified 

above, as well as three options for
