DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Notice of Public Hearing for the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement for Disposal and Reuse of the Naval Weapons Industrial
Reserve Plant, Calverton, NY
SUMMARY: Per Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR Parts
1500-1508), implementing procedural provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act, the Department of the Navy has prepared and
filed, on March 14, 1997, with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the disposal
and subsequent reuse of the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant
(NWIRP), Calverton, New York. The DEIS addresses the environmental
consequences of disposal of NWIRP Calverton, and implementation of the
proposed Community Reuse Plan for the base prepared by the Calverton
Air Facility Joint Planning and Redevelopment Commission, an entity
established by the Riverhead Town Board. The DEIS evaluates
environmental effects of three reuse alternatives which represent a
reasonable range of alternative redevelopment intensities for the base
if the decision is made to dispose of the property.
ADDRESSES: The Department of the Navy will hold a public hearing to
inform the public of the DEIS findings and to solicit comments. The
hearing will be held on Thursday, April 17, 1997, beginning at 7:30
p.m., at the Ramada East End, 1830 Route 25, Riverhead, New York.
Please call the point of contact below or the Ramada Inn in the case of
inclement weather.
Federal, state, local agencies and interested parties are invited
and urged to attend or be represented at the hearing. Oral statements
will be heard and transcribed by a stenographer; however, to assure the
accuracy of the record, all statements should be submitted in writing.
All statements, both oral and written, will become part of the public
record on this action and will be given equal consideration.
