DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) on the Disposal and 
Reuse of Vint Hill Farms Station, Warrenton, Virginia

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The proposed action evaluated by this DEIS is the disposal of 
Vint Hill Farms Station, Warrenton Virginia, in accordance with the 
Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law 101-510. 
The DEIS addresses the environmental 

[[Page 713]]
consequences of the disposal and subsequent reuse of the 701 acres. 
Three alternative methods of disposal are analyzed: Encumbered 
Disposal, Unencumbered Disposal and retention of the property in a 
caretaker status (i.e., the No Action Alternative). The Encumbered 
Disposal Alternative addresses transfer of property with certain 
constraints on future use as a condition of disposal. The Unencumbered 
Disposal Alternative involves removing existing constraints to allow 
for property disposal with fewer or no Army imposed restrictions on 
future use. The impacts of reuse are evaluated in terms of land use 
intensities.
    A scoping meeting was held at the Vint Hill Farms Stanton Theater 
on December 5, 1994. Public notices requesting input and comments from 
the public were issued in the regional area surrounding the Vint Hill 
Farms Station.

DATES: Written public comments and suggestions received within 45 days 
of the publication of the Environmental Protection Agency's Notice of 
Availability for this action will be addressed in the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement can be
