Final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant 
Impact (FNSI) for BRAC 95 Disposal and Reuse of Recreation Center #2, 
Fayetteville, NC

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with Public Law 101-510 (as amended), the 
Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, the Defense Base 
Closure and Realignment Commission recommended the closure of 
Recreation Center #2.
    The Final EA evaluates the environmental impacts of the disposal 
and subsequent reuse of the 4.35-acre installation. Alternatives 
examined in this EA include no action, unencumbered disposal of the 
property and encumbered disposal of the property. Encumbered disposal 
refers to transfer or conveyance of property having restrictions on 
subsequent use as a result of any Army-imposed or legal restraint. 
Under the no action alternative, the Army would not dispose of 
property, but would maintain it in a caretaker status for an indefinite 
period.

DATES: July 16, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Final EA and FNSI may be obtained by writing 
to Mr. Don Conlon, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers--Mobile District, 
environmental Resources Branch, 109 St. Joseph St., Mobile, Alabama, 
36628-0001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Conlon via phone at (334) 690-2609 
or by fax at (334) 690-2605.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: While closure of Recreation Center #2 is the 
Army's primary action, the EA also analyzes the potential environmental 
effects of reuse as a secondary impact by means of evaluating 
intensity-based reuse scenarios. The Army's preferred alternative for 
disposal of the Recreation Center #2 is encumbered disposal, with 
encumbrances pertaining to easements, threatened and endangered species 
habitat, lead-based paint and asbestos-containing material.
    A Notice of Intent declaring the Army's intent to prepare an EA for 
the closure of Recreation Center #2 was published in the Federal 
Register (60 FR 49264, September 22, 1995).
    The Final EA and FNSI are available for review at the Corps of 
Engineers, Mobile District; Cumberland County Library, 300 Maiden Lane, 
Fayetteville; and the John L. Throckmorton Library, Building #1-3346, 
Randolph Street, fort Bragg.
