The Military Construction projects proposed are primarily for the abatement of existing pollution problems at Naval and Marine Corps installations and have been reviewed to ensure that corrective design is accomplished in accordance with specific standards and criteria. ENERGY CONSERVATION: The military construction projects proposed in this program will be designed for minimum energy consumption. FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT AND WETLANDS PROTECTION: Proposed land acquisition, disposals, and installation construction projects have been planned to allow the proper management of floodplains and the protection of wetlands by avoiding long and short-term adverse impacts, reducing the risk of flood losses, and minimizing the loss or degradation of wetlands. Project planning is in accordance with the requirements of Executive Order Numbers 11988 and 11990. 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. PRESERVATION OF HISTORICAL SITES AND STRUCTURES: Facilities included in this program do not directly or indirectly affect a district, site, building, structure, object or setting listed in the National Register of Historic Places, except as noted on the DD Form 1391. PLANNING IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION: Projects located in the National Capital Region are submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission for budgetary review and comment as part of the commission's annual review of the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). Construction projects within the District of Columbia, with the exception of the Bolling/Anacostia area, are submitted to the Commission for approval prior to the start of construction. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: In accordance with Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 91-190), the environmental impact analysis process has been completed or is actively underway for all projects in the military construction program. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: Economics are an inherent aspect of project development and design of military construction projects. Therefore, all projects included in this program represent the most economical use of resources. Where alternatives can be evaluated, a primary economic analysis was prepared and the results indicated on the DD Form 1391. RESERVE MANPOWER POTENTIAL: The reserve manpower potential to meet and maintain authorized strengths of all reserve flying/non-flying units in those areas in which these facilities are to be located has been reviewed. It has been determined, in coordination with the other services having reserve flying/non-flying units in these areas, that the number of units of the reserve components of the Armed Forces presently located in those areas, and those which have been allocated to the areas for future activation, is not and will not be larger than the number that reasonably can be expected to be maintained at authorization strength considering the number of persons living in the areas who are qualified for membership in those reserve units. 77-860 D-01--17 |
