DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, NAVAL RESERVE FY 1981 Program Special Considerations ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, P.L. 91-190: All projects in the Naval Reserve FY 81 Military Construction Program have been addressed for potential significant environmental impact in accordance with section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act; and it has been determined that the proposed projects will not have a significant impact on the environment nor are they highly controversial. B. FLOODPLAINS AND WETLANDS: Projects have been evaluated for conformance with Executive Orders 11988 and 11990 and none are sited in floodplains or wetlands. C. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATE FACILITIES: All existing facilities have been considered for potential use to fill these requirements and no suitable space is available. D. NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT OF 1966: Real estate on which facilities are to be constructed do not appear in the National Register of Historic Places. E. RESERVE MANPOWER POTENTIAL: The reserve manpower potential to meet and maintain authorized strengths of all Naval Reserve flying/nonflying units in the areas in which these facilities are to be located has been reviewed in accordance with the procedures described in DOD Directive 1200.1. In coordination with the other Military Services, it has been determined that the number of Naval Reserve flying/nonflying units presently located in these areas and allocated for future activation is not and will not be larger than can be maintained at authorized strength, by all reasonable expectations. This determination is based on the number of persons living in the areas who are qualified for membership in those Naval Reserve units. F. FALLOUT PROTECTION: In accordance with Section 610 of Public Law 89-568, as amended, and DOD Directive 3020.35, military construction facilities in this program have been designed to afford maximum fallout protection. Fallout shelters have been excluded only for the following reasons: (1) Adequate protection areas are available to fulfill the station's requirements; or (2) the presence of personnel during period of fallout radiation would impair facility operations; or (3) economic limitations necessitated either deferral or accomplishment by some other means. G. POLLUTION ABATEMENT: The design of proposed military construction projects includes, where appropriate, the provision of facilities for air and water pollution control in accordance with Executive Order No. 11752 and DOD Directive 5100.50. 3-iii H. DESIGN FOR ACCESSIBILITY OF PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED PERSONNEL: In accordance with Public Law 90-480, provisions for physically handicapped personnel will be provided for, where appropriate, in the design of facilities included in this program. I. VENDING FACILITIES FOR THE BLIND: Projects have been evaluated for the provision of vending facilities to be operated by blind persons in compliance with DOD Directive 1125.3 and satisfactory sites for the operation of vending facilities will be provided where required by that Directive. J. ENERGY CONSERVATION: Any proposed projects specifically for energy conservation at Naval Reserve installations have been developed, reviewed, and selected for early economic payoff and maximum reduction of energy consumption. Projects include improvement to existing facilities and utilities systems to upgrade design, eliminate waste, and install energy-saving devices. Criteria for all new facility construction in the Naval Reserve Military Construction Program requires that the design, materials, and operational facilities provide for maximum reduction of energy consumption. |
