Notice of Termination of an Environmental Impact Statement for 
Construction of a Solid Waste Landfill on Marine Corps Base, Quantico, 
VA

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Marine Corps has been in the process of preparing an 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in compliance with the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 for the construction and operation of 
a solid waste landfill on Marine Corps Base (MCB), Quantico, Virginia. 
The Notice of Intent for preparing the EIS was published in the Federal 
Register on November 10, 1993. After a thorough review of the project, 
the Marine Corps decided to dispose of solid waste generated by MCB 
Quantico at existing off-base landfills in the region. Accordingly, the 
EIS is terminated and the Marine Corps does not at this time propose to 
construct a new solid waste landfill at MCB Quantico.
