The US Army has released a
draft environmental assessment
related to the expansion of the
National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC)
and the construction of the new
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
facility which will be the home of jobs relocated from Bolling AFB as part of the Federal Base Relocation and Closure (BRAC) program. The assessment, released December 10, 2007 by Fort Belvoir, determined that the expansion of the
Rivanna Station Military Base
on Route 29N would not have “a significant adverse affect on the environment.” As a result, the Army has concluded that a more in-depth Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required.
The public and Albemarle County has until January 25, 2008 to submit written comments on this determination that an EIS is not required
. According to the Army’s letter, those comments may be sent in writing to:
Commander
US Army Garrison Fort Belvoir
9430 Jackson Loop, Suite 100
ATTN: IMNE-BEL-PW
Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5116
