Team (NST)• National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)/Supporting Studies
– 8 EIS’s (Active Army); – 183 EA’s (42 Active Army; 118 Army Reserve; & 23 Army National
Guard)– 7 new AE contracts in place– Over $42 million in contract capacity available– $22,430,000 - estimated NEPA costs– $9,000,000 - estimated cost for environmental studies to support
NEPA preparation– U.S. Army Environmental Command (AEC)
• Environmental Condition of Property (ECP), Cleanup, & Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, & Liability Act (CERCLA) compliance
– 18 “Major” installation ECP’s– 176 Army Reserve facilities require ECP’s

IMCOM-SE BRAC Environmental Program IMCOM-SE
Background & Process
• BRAC-D cleanup & execution strategy– Work early & closely with regulators, Local Reuse Authorities
(LRA’s) & community stakeholders.– Dispose of what we can “as is” & to “like reuse” as quickly as
possible.– Use Environmental Services Cooperative Agreements
(ESCA’s) & Performance Based Contract (PBC) tools.– Utilize “Early Transfer” authority when possible.– Utilize Army model deed & Finding of Suitability to Transfer.

Scoping Very Difficult & Complex
• Transformation of Construction Process (Design / Build)– Used land-use planning approach
• Established development / construction “Polygons”
• Construction program late in stabilizing– Included all proposed but not validated BRAC &
transformation actions in performing “Get Ahead Studies”
– Once stabilized used the validated FY07 – 13 POM to refine scopes

Emphasis on Cantonment Construction & Supporting Associated Construction Timelines
• Coordinate with range & training staff to scope potential impacts to the environment from new training/maneuver requirements.– Especially challenging at Benning with introduction of
Armor School training.– Needed to know more than just training requirements &
throughput• Led planning charrettes to determine how & where Armor
School training is proposed to occur on the Benning landscape.

Conclusion
• BRAC 2005 is extremely complex & we have a tremendous challenge in the coming years.
• We learn as we go & refine.• Coordination, coordination, coordination…• Success requires support of all stakeholders both
internal & external to the Army at all levels.

Background & Process
• NEPA prepared to support:– BRAC Commission directed realignment actions
(gain new missions or personnel)– Discretionary moves (to be combined with above
NEPA documentation)– Disposal & reuse of property where an installation
is completely closed or where an enclave is retained
• No NEPA prepared for:– Installations that remain open and only lose
missions or personnel– Vacating leased space or buildings
BRAC NEPA EXECUTIONBRAC Commission recommendations(Sept 05)
Installation, Command, BRACD, and SAM agree on DOPAA (Oct - Nov 05)
Installation, Command, BRACD, SAM agree on NEPA level and cost est (Oct - Nov 05)
Army G3 sets BRAC execution priorities (work in progress)
SAM prepares SOW negotiates task orders (Nov - Dec 05)
BRACD funds & directs SAM to execute (Jan 06 until all funded)
SAM issues task orders to Contractors(Jan 06 until all funded)
SAM & Contractor prepare draft NEPA documents & supporting studies – EAs 6 to 12 mo. EISs – 18 mo plus
Draft NEPA docs reviewed by SAM, Installation, Command staff (TJAG ELD will review EISs but not EAs)
NEPA docs approved for release to public by Army decision makerEAs – garrison commander EISs – DASA ESOH
SAM signs NEPA document as preparer
EA FNSIs signed by garrison commander, EIS RODs signed by DASA ESOH
BRAC action may proceed after FNSI or ROD signed
