FLETC Glynco, GA; Notice of Availability of Document for Review
AGENCY: Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, Treasury.
ACTION: Notice of availability of environmental assessment for public
review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Federal Law Enforcement
Training Center (FLETC), pursuant to the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations
for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR parts
1500-1508), and Department of the Treasury Directive 75-02 (Department
of the Treasury Environmental Quality Program), has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) related to the acquisition of County
roads in Glynn County Georgia. The FLETC proposes to close the portions
of each road that are located adjacent to the tract of land that FLETC
is proposing to purchase, create cul-de-sacs/entry gates at the
terminal points for both roads, and construct a security fence and a
perimeter road on the northern and eastern perimeter of the parcel. The
public and resource agencies were invited to attend a public meeting
held November 7, 2002, and participate in the planning and analysis of
the proposed project. At that meeting the FLETC discussed the
environmental review process, described the project and alternatives
under consideration, discussed the scope of environmental issues to be
investigated in accordance with the requirements of NEPA, and answered
questions from attendees.
An EA document has been prepared in accordance with NEPA and
Department of the Treasury requirements, addressing the various project
alternatives, their potential environmental impacts, and issues raised
during the November 7, 2002, public meeting. This document will be
available for public review and comment from December 16, 2002, until
January 16, 2003, at the following locations:
1. Three Rivers Regional Library, 2400 Reynolds Street, Brunswick,
Georgia 31520, 912-267-1212.
2. Department of the Treasury, Library, Main Treasury Building,
1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20220. Contact Bill
McGovern at 202-622-0043.
Significant comments received from the public and agencies during
the review period will be addressed in the EA and included in an
appendix. Should the FLETC determine, based on the public's comments
and the information presented in the EA, that the impacts of the
acquisition of the county roads, the proposed closing of portions of
the roads that are adjacent to the tract of land that FLETC is
proposing to purchase, the construction of cul-de-sacs/entry gates at
the terminal points for both roads, and construction of a security
fence and a perimeter road on the northern and eastern perimeter of the
parcel will not have a significant environmental impact, it will
prepare a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for publication in
the Federal Register and in a newspaper in general circulation at the
project location. Should significant environmental impacts be
determined to exist due to the project, the FLETC will proceed with the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement, per the requirements
of NEPA, the Council on Environmental Quality, and its own
environmental policies and procedures.
DATES: Written comments concerning the EA should be received on or
before January 16, 2003, to be assured of consideration.
