Notice of Public Scoping Meeting for the Relocation of Navy 
Reservists From Naval Reserve Readiness Center at Lake Union and the 
Replacement of the Army Reserve Center at Fort Lawton, Seattle, WA

    Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969 as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality 
regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), the Department of the Navy and 
Department of Army announce their intention to conduct a scoping 
meeting for the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement 
(DEIS) for the proposed relocation of Navy reservists from the Naval 
Reserve Readiness Center at Lake Union and the replacement of the Army 
Reserve training facilities currently located in the 500 Area at Fort 
Lawton.
    This notice augments the Notice of Intent to prepare a DEIS for 
this proposed action that was published in the October 12, 1994 Federal 
Register.
    The Chief of Naval Reserve and U.S. Army Reserve Command's 
preferred alternative is to construct and operate a 120,000 square foot 
Joint Use Reserve Center in the southwest corner of Fort Lawton, near 
the existing 124th Army Reserve Command Headquarters. The DEIS will 
consider other sites on Fort Lawton, as well as other Federally-owned 
sites in the Seattle area. The DEIS will also evaluate taking no 
action, and constructing separate as well as joint facilities.
    A public scoping meeting has been scheduled to solicit comments 
about the issues that need to be addressed in the DEIS. The meeting 
will be held at 7:00 PM on November 17, 1994 at the Blaine Elementary 
School auditorium, 2550 34th Ave. West, Seattle, WA. A brief 
presentation identifying the proposed action and the EIS process will 
precede a request for public comments. It is important that federal, 
state, and local agencies, and interested individuals take the 
opportunity to identify environmental concerns that should be addressed 
in the DEIS.
    Agencies and the public are also invited and encouraged to provide 
written comments on the scoping issues in addition to, or in lieu of, 
oral comments at the coping meeting. Each speaker will be limited to 
five minutes at the meeting. Written comments must be received by 
December 15, 1994. Comments should be sent to Engineering Field 
Activity Northwest, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Attn: Mr. Don 
Morris, Code 232DM, 3505 NW Anderson Hill Road, Silver Dale, WA 98383-
7929. Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Mr. Morris 
at (206) 396-5976.

    Dated: October 28, 1994.
