GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) for the Disposal of the Volunteer Army Ammunition
Plant (VAAP), Chattanooga, TN

Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969, and the President's Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations (40 CFR 1500-1508), as implemented by General
Services

[[Page 18429]]

Administration (GSA), this Notice of Availability (NOA) for DEIS is
announced. The proposed action is the disposal of all of real property
associated with this government owned facility. The property consists
of about 6,500 acres of land including buildings, industrial facilities
and equipment, roadways, utilities, specialized facilities, easements,
rights of way, and natural undeveloped land.
The DEIS addresses impacts of two alternatives considered; Disposal
and No-Action (Continued Federal Ownership). The DEIS examined the
short and long-term impacts to both natural environment and impacts to
the surrounding community. The Disposal Alternative is further refined
into a series of alternative land use scenarios. These were developed
with the input from the local community through the scoping process.
GSA will solicit community input at a Public Meeting to be held on
Thursday April 29th. This will incorporate community comments into the
decision process before GSA issues a Final EIS (FEIS). The 45-day
comment period will end June 2, 1999.
After the comment period GSA will issue a Final EIS for 30 days of
additional comment. A decision on the Disposal will not be made until
30 days after the release of the FEIS. GSA anticipates this decision
will be rendered by August 1999.
GSA solicits comments in writing at the following address: Mr. Phil
Youngberg, Regional Environmental Officer (4PT), General Services
Administration (GSA), 401 West Peachtree Street, NW, Suite 3010,
Atlanta, GA 30365, or FAX: Mr. Phil Youngberg at 404-331-4540. Comments
should be submitted in writing.

April 8, 1999.
Phil Youngberg,
Regional Environmental Office (4 PT).
