DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Navy

 

Public Hearing for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for 
the Realignment of the Naval Air Station Pensacola, FL

    Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR 
parts 1500-1508) implementing procedural provisions of the National 
Environmental Policy Act, the Department of the Navy has prepared and 
filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Proposed Realignment of 
NAS Pensacola, Florida.
    In response to the recommendations of the 1993 Defense Base Closure 
and Realignment Commission and to legislative requirements in the 1990 
Base Closure and Realignment Act (Pub. L. 101-510), Naval Training 
Center San Diego, California, is to be closed and NAS Memphis, 
Tennessee, is to be realigned. Some of the naval training now offered 
at these centers will be relocated to NAS Pensacola, Florida. This 
consolidation of service schools at NAS Pensacola would bring 
approximately 1,100 military-staff personnel and an on-board average of 
4,230 students. Twenty construction projects are required that include 
instructional training, and administrative facilities, enlisted 
quarters, and approximately 118 new family housing units at nearby 
Corry Station. The proposed projects are sited to be consistent with 
surrounding land use and to occur on previously disturbed land.
    The DEIS has been distributed to various federal, state, and local 
agencies, elected officials, special interest groups, and the media. A 
limited number of single copies are available at the address listed at 
the end of this notice. A public hearing will be held at Pensacola 
Junior College, Warrenton Campus, room 3000, 555 West Highway 98, 
Pensacola, Florida, on Thursday evening, on May 26, 1994, from 7 p.m. 
until the end of public comment or until 12 midnight.
    The public hearing will be conducted by the Navy. Federal, state, 
and local agencies and other interested parties are invited and urged 
to be present or represented at the hearing. Oral statements will be 
heard and transcribed by a stenographer; however to assure accuracy of 
the record, all statements should be submitted in writing. All 
statements, both oral and written, will become part of the public 
record on this study. Equal weight will be given to both oral and 
written statements.
    In the interest of available time, each speaker will be asked to 
limit their oral comments to five minutes. If longer statements are to 
be presented, they should be summarized at the public hearing and 
submitted in writing either at the hearing or mailed to the address 
listed at the end of this announcement. All written statements must be 
postmarked by June 13, 1994, to become part of the official record.
    Additional information concerning this notice may be obtained by

Facilities Engineering Command, P.O. Box 190010, North Charleston,
