    SUMMARY: As part of the worldwide reorganization of its force 
    structure, the Army proposes to station heavy (armored or mechanized) 
    combat units at Fort Lewis, Washington. This Final Environmental Impact 
    Statement (FEIS) analyzes two stationing alternatives (one or two 
    brigades) and the No Action Alternative. The One-Brigade Alternative 
    results in approximately 4,000 additional troops and 500 tracked 
    vehicles. Under the Two-Brigade Alternative, approximately 10,400 
    additional troops and 1,100 tracked vehicles would be assigned to Fort 
    Lewis and its sub-installation, Yakima Training Center (YTC). New 
    construction would be required to support either stationing 
    alternative.
        The FEIS will be available for public review during a 30-day post-
    filing waiting period prior to the Army making the final decision on 
    the stationing of mechanized and armored combat forces at Fort Lewis.
    
    ADDRESSES: Copies of the FEIS will automatically be mailed to 
    individuals who attended the scoping and public hearings meetings, 
    commented during the public comment period and who requested copies. 
    Copies will be sent to city, county, and federal officials, and civic 
    organizations, and public libraries. Individuals not currently on the 
    mailing list may obtain a copy of the FEIS by contacting Mr. Randall W. 
    Hanna, Chief, Environmental and Natural Resources Division, 
    Headquarters, I Corps and Fort Lewis, ATTN: AFZH-DEQ, Fort Lewis,
