Environmental Impact Statement. Comprehensive Base Realignment/Closure And Fort Belvoir Development.

Abstract

This document addresses the environmental effects resulting from the closure of Cameron Station and associated realignments to Fort Belvoir, Fort Myer, and Fort McNair. This document also addresses the realignments from Fort Meade, Fort Holabird, Army Materials Technology Laboratory (AMTL), and leased space to Fort Belvoir. The effects on Fort Belvoir of the realignment of the Information Systems Command (ISC) to Fort Devens are also included in this document. No significant adverse effects are expected as a result of the closure of Cameron Station. The loss of 3,835 military and civilian positions is not considered to be a significant adverse effect because most of the people affected by the closure will be relocated within the region. The most significant adverse effects of the BRAC projects at Fort Belvoir will be the increase in traffic volumes and potential changes in commuter patterns. To assess the effects of these developments, future-year traffic forecasts were prepared using a region-wide transportation model.
