Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on the Disposal and 
Reuse of Vint Hill Farms Station, Warrenton, VA

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The proposed action evaluated by this FEIS is the disposal of 
Vint Hill Farms Station, Warrenton, VA, in accordance with the Defense 
Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101-510, as amended. 
The FEIS addresses the environmental consequences of the disposal and 
subsequent reuse of the 701 acres. Three alternative methods of 
disposal are analyzed: Encumbered Disposal, Unencumbered Disposal and 
retention of the property in a caretaker status (i.e., the No Action 
Alternative). The Encumbered Disposal Alternative addresses transfer of 
property with certain constraints on future use as a condition of 
disposal. The Unencumbered Disposal Alternative involves removing 
existing constraints to allow for property disposal with fewer or no 
constraints to allow for property disposal with fewer or no Army 
imposed restrictions on future use. The impacts of reuse are evaluated 
in terms of land use intensities.

DATES: The public review period for this document ends 30 days after 
the date of publication of the Environmental Protection Agency's Notice 
of Availability in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the FEIS will be available for review at Fauquier 
County Public Library in Warrenton, Bealeton Branch Library in 
Bealeton, and Prince William County Center Library in Manassas. Copies 
of the FEIS may also be obtained by writing to Dr. Susan Rees, U.S.
