The action evaluated in this document includes the withdrawal from and closure of the assets at Fort Sheridan, Illinois; the disposal and potential reuse of installation real property; and the relocation of major units to Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana (the primary receiving installation) and to a number of secondary receiving locations. This action is in accordance with the Defense Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment Act, Title II, Public Law 100-526, and recommendations of the Defense Secretary's Commission on Base Realignment and Closure. This Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared to identify the effects of the planned action on the natural, social and cultural environment at Fort Sheridan, and installations where Fort Sheridan services will be relocated. The document also addresses potential future uses for property to be disposed of at Fort Sheridan. The Fort Sheridan Base Closure Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was distributed on May 18, 1990, and the Notice of Availability appeared in the Federal Register on the same date. The notice initiated a 45 day comment period, which ended on July 2, 1990. Public hearings were held on June 11, 1990 at Lawrence Central High School Auditorium, Indianapolis, Indiana; and on June 21, 1990 at Northwood Junior High School Auditorium, Highland Park, Chicago. The results of the formal comment process have been documented in Section 5.5 of this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).
This Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Cleanup Plan (BCP) describes the status, management and response strategy, and action items related to Fort Sheridan's ongoing base-wide environmental restoration and surplus property compliance programs. These programs support restoration of the installation property, which is necessary to meet the requirements for property disposal and reuse activities associated with the closure of the installation. The scope of the BCP considers the following regulatory mechanisms: the BRAC Act; National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended, including the Community Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA); Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); and other applicable laws. The Fort Sheridan BCP is a dynamic planning document developed by the BRAC Cleanup Team (BCT) consisting of the U.S. Army, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and representatives of the State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). It was necessary to make certain assumptions and interpretations to develop the schedule and cost estimates provided in this plan. The BCP will be updated regularly to reflect the current status and strategies of remedial actions. This document is the latest in a series of updates/modifications and represents conditions and strategies as of September 1995.
