DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Notice of Public Hearing for the Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement for the Disposal and reuse of Naval Air Station (NAS) Dallas, 
TX

    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 Disposal and 
Reuse of NAS Dallas, Texas.
    In response to the recommendations of the 1993 Department of 
Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC-93) and to 
legislative requirements of the 1990 Base Realignment and Closure Act 
(Pub. L. 101-510), NAS Dallas, Texas is to be closed and the property 
to be made available for disposal and reuse. Approximately 25% of NAS 
Dallas property is owned by the Navy; the remaining portion is leased 
to the U.S. Government by the City of Dallas, and will be returned to 
the city in accordance with the lease agreement. The Navy has prepared 
a DEIS which addresses the environmental impacts of disposing Navy-
owned property at NAS Dallas and of its potential reuse. The purpose of 
the DEIS is to assist the Secretary of the Navy in making a decision 
concerning the disposition of NAS property. It is the Navy's policy to 
adopt the community's redevelopment plan as its preferred alternative. 
The preferred alternative presented in the DEIS is Industrial Aviation 
Use; other alternatives discussed are Industrial Park, Aviation 
Manufacturing Facility, General Aviation Use, Non-Aviation Mixed Use, 
and No Action.
    The DEIS has been distributed to various federal, state, and local 
agencies, elected officials, special interest groups, and local 
libraries in Dallas and Grand Prairie. A limited number of single 
copies are available at the address listed at the end of this notice.
    A public hearing to inform the public of the DEIS findings and to 
solicit comments will be held in Building 12 auditorium, NAS Dallas, 
8100 West Jefferson Blvd., Dallas, TX on Wednesday evening, August 16, 
1995, at 7 p.m. This meeting will be advertised in the Dallas and Grand 
Prairie area newspapers.
    The public hearing will be conducted by the Navy. Federal, state 
and local agencies, and interested parties are invited and urged to be 
present or represented at the hearing. Oral statements will be heard 
and transcribed by a legal stenographer; however, to ensure accuracy of 
the record, all statements should be submitted in writing. All 
statements, oral and written, will become a part of the public record 
of this study, and will be responded to in the Final Environmental 
Impact Statement. Equal

weight will be given to both oral and written statements.

limit his/her comments to five minutes. All written comments must be 
postmarked by August 28, 1995 to become a part of the official record.
