Public Meeting on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for a
Tertiary Treatment Plant and Associated Facilities at Marine Corps Base
Camp Pendleton, CA
AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.
ACTION: Announcement of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act as
implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR
parts 1500-1508), the Department of the Navy has prepared a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for construction and operation of
a tertiary treatment plant (TTP) and associated facilities at Marine
Corps Base (MCB) Camp Pendleton, CA. A public meeting will be held in
order to collect public comments. This meeting will be conducted in an
open house format and participants may attend a portion or the entire
meeting.
DATES: The public meeting will be held on Thursday, November 13, 2003,
from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Oceanside Civic Center Library and
Community Rooms, 330 North Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA. All written
comments regarding the DEIS must be postmarked by November 24, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Direct comments to Commander, Southwest Division, Naval
Facilities Engineering Command, Code 5CPR.15 (Attn: Ms. Lisa Seneca),
937 North Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92132.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lisa Seneca, telephone (619) 532-
4744, fax (619) 532-4160.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed action involves the
consolidation of four sewage treatment plants (STPs) at MCB Camp
Pendleton into a single TTP. This would include the construction and
operation of a TTP; a conveyance system to transport wastewater from
tributary areas of current STPs 1, 2, 3, and 13 to the TTP (which would
be located at the site of existing STP 13); a wastewater reclamation
system to convey tertiary-treated water to reuse points; the demolition
of existing STPs 1, 2, 3, 8, and 13; and relocation of the existing
Recycling Center. Five alternatives, including the no-action
alternative, are evaluated in this DEIS.
This DEIS evaluates the potential environmental impacts to the
following resource areas: land use, air quality, geological resources,
biological resources, cultural resources, water resources,
environmental justice, utilities and infrastructure, and safety and
environmental health. Potentially significant but mitigable impacts
associated with the proposed action and alternatives have been
identified for biological, cultural, and water resources.
Implementation of the no-action alternative would result in significant
impacts to water resources.
The DEIS has been distributed to various Federal, State and local
agencies, elected officials, and interested groups and individuals. The
DEIS is also available for public review at the following libraries:
--Carlsbad City Library--1775 Dove Lane, Carlsbad, CA.
--Del Mar Branch Library--1309 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA.
--City Heights/Weingart Library--3795 Fairmount Ave, San Diego, CA.
