Draft EISs

    ERP No. D-COE-A39138-00 Rating **3, Programmatic EIS--Nationwide 
Permits Procedures Review and Examination, US Army Corps of Engineers 
Section 10 and 404 Permit Issuance.
    Summary: EPA believes the data used in the Draft PEIS and the 
methods used to analyze and draw conclusions from that data were 
inadequate, thereby preventing a full disclosure of potentially 
significant environmental impacts of the proposal. EPA recommended that 
the draft PEIS be formally revised and made available for public 
comment in a supplemental or revised draft PEIS.
    ERP No. D-USA-A10074-00 Rating EC2, Programmatic EIS--Army 
Transformation, Army Vision to Address the Changing Circumstances of 
the 21st Century, Transformation in three Phases: Initial Phase, 
Interim Capacibility Phase, and an Objective Force Phase.
    Summary: EPA expressed environmental concerns regarding air, land 
use, water resources, and noise and requested additional information 
regarding impact analysis.
