Notice of Availability of the Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis 
Master Plan Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This announces the availability of the Fort Sam Houston and 
Camp Bullis Master Plan Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement 
(PEIS), which assesses the potential environmental impacts of 
implementing three master planning alternatives. Alternative 1 (No 
Action) includes the continuation of the currently identified stationed 
Population reductions, as reflected in the Army Stationing and 
Installation Plan; the projected reductions in the Real Property 
Maintenance Activity budget program for facility maintenance and 
repair; the zero investment maintenance expenditures for vacant 
historical facilities; and the projected reductions in the Base 
Operations budget program for utilities and other engineering services. 
Alternative 2 (Reuse of Facilities and Property by Federal Users) would 
result in an adaptive reuse of currently vacant historical facilities 
using the existing appropriated funds process. This may be accomplished 
by bringing additional military missions to Fort Sam Houston through 
individual stationing decisions that take advantage of the capabilities 
of Fort Sam Houston, and/or additional federal missions through 
individual stationing decisions that take advantage of the capabilities 
of Fort Sam Houston.
    Alternative 3 (Reduction of Underutilized/Unutilized Property 
through Lease, Sale, or Removal (preferred alternative)) would result 
in the reduction of underutilized/unutilized facilities and property on 
Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis, in addition to changes in the Land 
Use Plan. The reduction in underutilized/unutilized property may be 
accomplished through: outgrant leases to the city, county, state, 
private citizens, businesses, or investors; sale to the city, county, 
state, private citizens, businesses, or investors; removal from the 
site; or demolition. The Army may select any one alternative or a 
combination of alternatives for future activities and planning at Fort 
Sam Houston.

DATES: The review period for the Final PEIS will end 30 days after 
publication of the Notice of Availability in the Federal Register by 
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

ADDRESSES: To obtain copies of the Final PEIS, contact Ms. Jackie 
Schlatter, PEIS Project Manager, ATTN: MCCS-BFE-N, 2202 15th Street

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document includes analyses of the 
potential environmental consequences that the alternative actions may 
have on land use and visual resources, transportation, utilities, earth 
resources, air quality, water resources, biological resources, cultural 
resources, socio-economics, noise, and hazardous materials and items of 
special concern. The findings indicate that potential environmental 
impacts from the alternatives may result in some impacts to cultural 
resources.
