DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Notice of Floodplain Involvement for the Transfer of Parcel H at
the Miamisburg Environmental Management Project
AGENCY: Ohio Field Office, Miamisburg Environmental Management Project
(MEMP), Department of Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice of floodplain involvement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This is to give notice of DOE's proposal to transfer ownership
of approximately 14 acres of property in the northeast corner of the
MEMP site, located approximately 10 (ten) miles southwest of Dayton,
Ohio. The property, designated Parcel H, has been determined to be
excess to DOE's long-term needs. As a result, ownership of this
property will be transferred to a non-Federal entity. A small portion
of Parcel H lies within the 100-year floodplain, i.e., the area is
subject to a 1% chance per year of inundation from a nearby tributary
of the Great Miami River. In accordance with 10 CFR 1022.5(d), DOE will
identify those uses that are restricted under Federal, state, and local
floodplain regulations. The future owner of Parcel H will be made aware
of the applicable governing regulations on or adjacent to the 100-year
floodplain.
DATES: Written comments must be received by the DOE at the following
address on or before January 27, 1999.
ADDRESSES: For further information on this proposed action, including a
site map and/or copy of the Floodplain Assessment, contact: Mr. Frank
Schmaltz, Project Manager, U.S. Department of Energy, Miamisburg
Environmental Management Project, P.O. Box 66, Miamisburg, OH 45343-
0066; Phone: 937-865-3620; Facsimile: 937-865-4489.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information on general DOE
floodplain and wetland environmental review requirements, contact: Ms.
Carol Borgstrom, Director, Office of NEPA Policy and Assistance, EH-42,
U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington,
D.C. 20585; Phone: 202-586-4600 or 1-800-472-2756.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed activity would support ultimate
disposition of the MEMP site. The MEMP site has been determined to be
excess to DOE's long-term needs. This decision is supported by the
Nonnuclear Consolidation Environmental Assessment (DOE/EA-0792) and
associated Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) dated September 14,
1993, and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the DOE Defense
Programs, Environmental Management and Nuclear Energy Programs, dated
August 1, 1995. In order to meet the programmatic need to disposition
land determined to be excess to DOE's needs, ownership of the site will
be transferred to a non-Federal entity. The property will be released
in phases, as certain parcels of property are still in use or are not
yet suitable for transfer. This notice addresses one parcel of land,

comprising approximately 14 acres of property in the northeast corner
of the MEMP site.
