ASAN, Guam—Information released recently online regarding the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the proposed live-fire training range complex on Guam is now available at various locations around the island.
“In addition to the project Web site (http://bit.ly/Guam_LFTRC_SEIS), this information has been provided in hardcopy to all senators, mayors and many local libraries,” said Joint Guam Program Office Forward Director, Capt. Daniel Cuff. “Our intent is to make this information accessible to everyone to help facilitate community involvement in the SEIS process.”
The information includes a technical report detailing the analysis conducted by the Navy following the commitment it made to 24/7 access to Pagat Village, Cave and trail. It includes notional maps of the five current potentially reasonable alternatives located in the Route 15 area on/adjacent to the Naval Magazine (NAVMAG). It further provides maps showing privately owned parcels of land that are within the notional alternatives for the live-fire training range complex.
“We encourage the community to take the time to review these documents in advance of the upcoming scoping meetings, as they provide valuable 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,” said Cuff.
The scoping period is currently open and will close on April 6, 2012 (ChST). [I](USN)[/I]
