Public Hearing for Draft Environmental Impact Statement on 
Realignment of Naval Air Station Miramar, CA

    Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR 
Parts 1500-1508) implementing procedural provisions of the National 
Environmental Policy Act, the Marine Corps has prepared and filed with 
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency the Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement (DEIS) for realignment of 

[[Page 49399]]
Naval Air Station (NAS) Miramar, California.
    A public hearing to inform the public of the DEIS findings and to 
solicit comments will be held on October 18, 1995, beginning at 6:00 
pm, in the Tierrasanta Elementary School Auditorium, located at 5450 La 
Quenta Drive, San Diego, California.
    The public hearing will be conducted by the Marine Corps. 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 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 October 29, 1995, to become part of the official record.
    The DEIS has been distributed to various Federal, State, and local 
agencies, elected officials, and civic associations and groups. A 
limited number of single copies are available at the address listed at 
the end of this notice.
    In accordance with the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 
1990 and the specific base closure and realignment decisions approved 
by the president and accepted by Congress in September 1995, the 
proposed action is the realignment or conversion of NAS Miramar to 
Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar. The proposed action relocates 
aircraft and associated assets from MCAS Tustin and MCAS El Toro, which 
are closing, to NAS Miramar. Alternatives considered in the DEIS 
include: no action, relocation of aircraft and assets to other air 
stations that meet operational requirements, and relocation of aircraft 
and assets to NAS Miramar. Alternative configurations of facilities at 
NAS Miramar were also evaluated. The proposed action will have impacts 
on noise, endangered species, and air quality.
    Additional information concerning this notice may be obtained by 
contacting LtCol George Martin or Mr. Bruce Shaffer, Base Closure and 
Realignment Office, Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, Santa Ana, CA

    Dated: September 19, 1995.

Robert Watkins,
Head, Land Use and Military Construction Branch, Facilities and 
Services Division, Installations and Logistics Department.
    By direction of the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
