Office of the Secretary of the Army


Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for 
Closure and Disposal of Sacramento Army Depot, California

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with Public Law 101-510, the Defense Base 
Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, the Defense Base Closure and 
Realignment Commission recommended the closure of Sacramento Army Depot 
and transfer of depot missions to other installations/agencies. 
Maintenance missions would be competed to determine location of 
transfer. In accordance with the Act, the Secretary of Defense must 
implement all recommendations for closure or realignment. Subject 
document focuses on the environmental and socioeconomic impacts and 
mitigations associated with the disposal and reuse of Sacramento Army 
Depot.
    No long-term adverse ecological or environmental health effects are 
expected due to this action. The increase in population anticipated by 
the reuse and disposal activities is expected to have a net positive 
impact on the local economy. The preferred alternative, prepared with 
the cooperation of the local community, is not expected to 
significantly impact environmental resources.
    A scoping meeting was held in Sacramento, California, on 28 January 
1993. Public notices requesting input and comments from the public were 
issued in the regional area surrounding Sacramento Army Depot.
