    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
    Department of the Navy
    
     
    
    Notice of Public Hearing for the Draft Environmental Impact 
    Statement for Base Realignment of Naval Air Station Lemoore, Lemoore, 
    CA
    
        Pursuant to 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 with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency the Draft 
    Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for base realignment of Naval Air 
    Station (NAS) Lemoore, Lemoore, California.
        In response to the recommendations of the 1993 Defense Base Closure 
    and Realignment Commission (BRAC-93) and to legislative requirements of 
    the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-
    510), the U.S. Navy plans to relocate facilities and operations from 
    NAS Miramar, San Diego, California, to NAS Lemoore, California. The 
    relocation will consist of 56 F-14 aircraft, 16 E-2 aircraft, 12
    F/A-18 aircraft, approximately 3993 military personnel, and 484 
    civilians. The proposed BRAC relocation to NAS Lemoore will result in 
    the construction of approximately 98 projects. These projects have been 
    placed into the following twelve military construction categories: 
    hangar rehabilitation, airfield operational facilities, airfield 
    operational pavement, industrial support facilities, instruction 
    facilities, training facilities, personnel support facilities, utility 
    upgrades, community support facilities/housing, storage facilities, 
    administrative facilities, and weapons facilities. In addition, the 
    Navy is proposing to establish the Lemoore Military Operating Area 
    (MOA) and two Air Traffic Control Assigned Areas (ATCAAs). The Lemoore 
    MOA and the ATCAAs will become designated airspace for military 
    training over the Central San Joaquin Valley. This airspace is 
    necessary to accommodate the increase in air operations resulting from 
    the relocation of squadrons to the base.
        The DEIS has been distributed to various federal, state, and local 
    agencies, elected officials, special interest groups, and the media. A 
    limited number of single copies are available at the address listed at 
    the end of this notice for public review and comment. A public hearing 
    to inform the public of the DEIS findings and to solicit comments will 
    be held on August 4, 1994, beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Lemoore High 
    School, 101 East Bush Street, Lemoore, California.
        The public hearing will be conducted by the Navy. Federal, state, 
    local agencies, interested groups, and individuals are invited and 
    encouraged to be present or represented at the hearing. Oral statements 
    will be heard and transcribed by a stenographer; however, to assure 
    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 study. Equal weight will be given to both oral and 
    written statements.
        In the interest of available time, each speaker will be asked to 
    limit their oral comments to five minutes. Longer statements should be 
    summarized at the public hearing and submitted in writing either at the 
    hearing or mailed to the address listed at the end of this 
    announcement. All written statements must be postmarked by August 22, 
    1994, to become part of the official record.
        Additional information concerning this notice may be obtained by 
    contacting Mr. Surinder Sikand Code (Code 09F2SU), Western Division, 
    Naval Facilities Engineering Command, 900 Commodore Drive, San Bruno,

        Dated: July 14, 1994.
