ASAN, Guam-The Navy released additional information Saturday, March 3, regarding the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the proposed live fire training range complex on Guam.
The project website-http://bit.ly/Guam_LFTRC_SEIS-has been updated to include:
– A document called the “Technical Report.” The report details the analysis conducted by the Navy following the commitment it made to 24/7 access to Pagat Village, Cave and trail. This analysis, which was done in the spring and summer of 2011 and based on information known at the time, contributed to the decision to prepare the SEIS.
-Notional maps of the five current potentially reasonable alternatives. The alternatives are located in the Route 15 area and on/adjacent to the Naval Magazine.
– Maps showing privately owned parcels of land that are within the notional training range complex alternatives. The Navy is seeking the community’s help in identifying landowners so they may be made aware of the proposal, and so they may be contacted for permission to conduct environmental studies on their property. Maps highlight where land ownership information is needed. The Navy has already initiated the process of contacting and meeting with known landowners.
The public is encouraged to review these documents, as they will provide additional information about the proposed action, considerations for locating training ranges, and where and how the training ranges could operate for each of the current alternatives. In order to prepare a thorough and complete analysis of potential training range locations, comments on these documents are encouraged throughout the public scoping period. The scoping period is currently open and will close on April 6, 2012.
The Navy is coordinating to make copies of these documents available, and will be providing an update in the near future with the locations at which these documents will be available. (NAVFAC)
