In Alternatives A, C, and D, the new buildings would be located a sufficient distance from the ocean shore and local drainage streams to prevent any disturbance of these waters. There is negligible precipitation at New Harbor, so the placement of buildings on the level areas in camp will not affect water drainage. Air pollutants readily disperse in the atmosphere. Noise and air pollutants are relatively small, localized sources and represent a negligible impact on the local or regional environment. Use of the structures after a 10-year period would depend upon identified needs, the condition of the structures, and the results of a separate environmental evaluation to continue using these facilities to support the New Harbor site.
All facilities allow for a relatively simple decommissioning process.
The camp location after decommissioning would reveal minor leveling of the ground. Wind would very quickly erase evidence of the camp. No debris would be left on-site.
