This Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) addresses the environmental issues associated with the realignment of F/A-18 aircraft (i.e., fleet squadrons and the Fleet Replacement Squadron FRS) and operational functions from Naval Air Station (NAS) Cecil Field, Florida, which is scheduled to close, to other Navy and Marine Corps air stations on the East Coast. This proposed realignment is associated with the Navy's implementation of the 1995 mandated list of realignments prepared by the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The proposed action consists of the transfer of 11 F/A-18 fleet squadrons (132 aircraft) and the FRS (48 aircraft) (180 total aircraft) from NAS Cecil Field. The DEIS assesses five reasonable alternative realignment scenarios (ARSs) for the transfer of F/A-18 aircraft and personnel: ARS 1: Realignment of 11 F/A-18 fleet squadrons (132 aircraft) and the F/A- 18 FRS (48 aircraft) (180 total aircraft) to NAS Oceana, Virginia Beach, Virginia; ARS 2: Realignment of two F/A-18 fleet squadrons (24 aircraft) to Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort, South Carolina, and realignment of nine fleet squadrons and the FRS (156 total aircraft) to NAS Oceana; ARS 3: Realignment of three F/A-18 fleet squadrons (36 aircraft) to MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, and realignment of eight fleet squadrons and the FRS (144 total aircraft) to NAS Oceana; ARS 4: Realignment of five F/A-18 fleet squadrons (60 aircraft) to MCAS Beaufort; and realignment of six fleet squadrons and the FRS (120 total aircraft) to NAS Oceana; and ARS 5: Realignment of five F/A-18 fleet squadrons (60 aircraft) to MCAS Cherry Point and realignment of six fleet squadrons and the FRS (120 total aircraft) to NAS Oceana.
Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1669, as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), the Department of the Navy announces its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of the realignment of F/A-18 aircraft and their associated personnel to Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, located in Virginia Beach. Virginia. This action is being conducted in accordance with the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-510), as implemented during 1995. In accordance with congressional direction implementing the 1995 recommendations of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC 95) the Navy will close NAS Cecil Field, Florida, and realign F/A-18 aircraft, personnel, and ancillary activities associated with the existing F/A-18 aircraft, personnel, and ancillary activities associated with the existing F/A-18 missions.
This Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) addresses the environmental issues associated with the realignment of FIA-18 aircraft (i.e., fleet squadrons and the Fleet Replacement Squadron FRSJ) and operational functions from Naval Air Station (NAS) Cecil Field, Florida, which is scheduled to close, to other Navy and Marine Corps air stations on the East Coast. This proposed realignment is associated with the Navy's implementation of the 1995 mandated list of realignments prepared by the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The proposed action consists of the transfer of 11 FIA-18 fleet squadrons (132 aircraft) and the FRS (48 aircraft) (180 total aircraft) from NAS Cecil Field.
