| 04-6435 | Notice of Availability of a Final Environmental Impact Statement | Notice | The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) announces the availability of its Final Mercury Management Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS). This announcement is pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations (40 CFR parts 1500- 1508) and DLA's regulation (DLAR 1000.22) that implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Defense National Stockpile Center (DNSC) inventory of elemental mercury (approximately 4,436 metric tons) is currently stored in enclosed warehouses at four sites in the United States: Near New Haven, Indiana; in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; in Hillsborough, New Jersey; and near Warren, Ohio. Because the mercury has been declared in excess of national defense needs, DNSC must decide on a strategy for the long- term management of this excess commodity. The Final EIS analyzes in detail three alternatives for managing the National Defense Stockpile inventory of excess mercury: (1) Consolidated storage of the mercury stockpile at one site, (2) no-action, i.e., leave the mercury at the existing storage locations, and (3) sale of the stockpile. DNSC's preferred alternative is consolidated storage. The Final EIS evaluates a range of locations that would be environmentally acceptable consolidation sites. The Final EIS reflects changes made in response to comments received during the public comment period on the Draft EIS. No sooner than 30 days after the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Notice of Availability for DNSC's Final Mercury Management EIS is published in the Federal Register, the DLA intends to issue a Record of Decision (ROD) which will announce the selection of the alternative that will be implemented. DLA will publish its ROD in the Federal Register. | 2004-03-26 | 2004 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/03/26/04-6435/notice-of-availability-of-a-final-environmental-impact-statement | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-03-26/pdf/04-6435.pdf | Defense Department; Defense Logistics Agency | 103,107 | The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) announces the availability of its Final Mercury Management Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS).
