Draft Environmental Assessment (EA)
and Finding of No Significant Impact
(FNSI) for the Transfer of Honey Lake
at Sierra Army Depot (SIAD), Herlong,
CA
AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
SUMMARY: The Department of the Army
announces the availability of the EA and
FNSI for the proposed action to transfer
Honey Lake (property made available by
the realignment of SIAD) in accordance
with the Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law
101–510, as amended.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
July 11, 2003.
ADDRESSES: A copy of the EA or
inquiries into the FNSI may be obtained
by writing to Mr. David Bauman, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento
District, ATTN: CESPK–PD–R, 1325 J
Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 or via
email at
David.J.Bauman@usace.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
David Bauman at (916) 557–5256.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed action evaluated in the EA is
the transfer of property not required by
the Army for its mission at Sierra Army
Depot, Herlong, California. The 62,090.5
acres of Honey Lake comprise the excess
property addressed in the EA.
The proposed transfer of Honey Lake
to a non-Federal entity is the latest in a
series of BRAC actions at SIAD. The
installation has disposed of, or is in the
process of disposing of, four other
parcels located on the Main Depot.
These include Herlong, Southeast
Corner, East Shore, and the Airfield.
These disposal actions at SIAD are
described in the EA for the disposal and
reuse of the BRAC parcels at Sierra
Army Depot, California (February 1998).
Alternatives evaluated in the EA for
the transfer of Honey Lake include: (1)
No action, (2) transfer to the State of
California or its designee, and (3)
conveyance to a non-profit natural
resources conservation organization.
Based on the analysis in the EA, it has
been determined that the transfer of
PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\11JNN1.SGM
Honey Lake would have no significant
direct, indirect, or cumulative effects on
the quality of the natural or human
environment. Because no significant
environmental effects would result from
the transfer of Honey Lake, an
Environmental Impact Statement will
not be prepared.
The Army will not initiate the transfer
action for 30 days following the
completion of the EA and FNSI, and
publication of a public notice in a local
newspaper. This EA will be distributed
for public review and comment, and
will be available for public review at the
following locations: Sierra Army Depot,
Building 1, Herlong, California 96113,
