As a result of the 1993 mandates of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (Commission), as approved by Congress pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (commonly referred to as BRAC), Naval Air Station (NAS) Cecil Field, located in Duval and Clay counties, Florida, will be closed. The United States Department of the Navy has prepared this Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to evaluate the potential environmental effects of disposal and reuse of the station by other entities pursuant to the NAS Cecil Field Final Base Reuse Plan (CFDC 1996), prepared by the Cecil Field Development Commission (CFDC). This DEIS has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations on Implementing NEPA Procedures (40 CFR 1500-1508); OPNAVINST 5090. 1B; and the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (Title XXIX of P.L. 101-510) as amended by PL 102-190 and P.L. 102A84.
