Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the Disposal and Reuse of Mare Island Naval Shipyard Vallejo, California. Volume 1.
Abstract
The proposed action evaluated in the EIS/ElR is the disposal of Federal surplus land at the former Mare Island' Naval Shipyard and reuse of the site and facilities as proposed under the community reuse plan, developed by the City of Vallejo. Community reuse alternatives analyzed in the EIS/EIR include the Reuse Plan Alternative, a Medium Density Alternative, and the Open Space Alternative. The No Action Alternative assumes that surplus land at Mare Island would be retained in Navy ownership in a caretaker status. The EIS/EIR includes analyses of land use, socioeconomics, public services, cultural resources, aesthetics and scenic resources, biological resources, water resources, geology and soils, traffic and circulation, air quality, noise, utilities, and hazardous materials and waste. Potentially significant and mitigable adverse environmental impacts include impacts to land use, socioeconomics, public services, aesthetics and scenic resources, biological resources, water resources, geology and soils, traffic and circulation, air quality, noise and utilities. Mitigation measures have been identified to reduce most environmental impacts to nonsignificant or acceptable levels. Construction of the southern crossing bridge would create significant and not mitigable land use and visual impacts. Agreements between the Navy, the City of Vallejo, and other regulating agencies have been prepared with regards to cultural resources, public services, utilities, and biological resources. Remediation of contaminated areas will continue to be the responsibility of the Navy.
