including recreation, open space, and
natural areas. The Plan also incorporates
elements based on smart-growth
principles, including pedestrianfriendly transportation features (e.g.,
walkable neighborhoods, bike lanes, and
compact development), open spaces,
and a mix of land use types.
Alternative 2 would also meet the
requirements of the BRAC Law by
allowing for disposal and reuse of NAS
JRB Willow Grove. This alternative
features a higher density of residential
and community mixed-use
development. Similar to Alternative 1,
this alternative includes a mix of land
use types, preserves open space and
natural areas, and incorporates elements
based on smart-growth principles,
including pedestrian-friendly
transportation and compact
development. It is anticipated that full
build-out of the higher-density scenario
would be implemented over a 20-year
period. The higher density alternative
calls for the development of
approximately 576 acres (67%) of the
total base property. In addition,
approximately 280 acres (32%) of the
base would be dedicated to a variety of
active and passive land uses, including
recreation, open space, and natural
areas.
Alternative 3 would maintain and
reuse the existing airfield for private
aviation purposes. The Plan reuses the
existing airfield and its supporting
infrastructure (i.e., taxiways, parking
aprons and hangar facilities). After
accounting for the area being reused for
aviation purposes, the remaining land
available for development would be
approximately 380 acres. This would be
developed in a mix of land use types
and densities, and preserves open space
and natural areas. New development
would be airport related industry and
businesses.
Alternative 4 is required by NEPA and
is the No Action Alternative. Under this
alternative, NAS JRB Willow Grove
would be retained by the U.S.
government in caretaker status. No reuse
or redevelopment would occur at the
facility.
The EIS will address potential direct,
indirect, short-term, long-term, and
cumulative impacts on the human and
natural environments, including
potential impacts on topography,
geology and soils, water resources,
biological resources, air quality, noise,
infrastructure and utilities, traffic,
cultural resources, land use,
socioeconomics, environmental justice,
and waste management. Known areas of
concern associated with the BRAC
action include impacts on
socioeconomics due to loss of the

military and civilian workforce, impacts
on local traffic patterns resulting from
reuse scenarios, and the clean-up of
installation remediation sites.
The DoN is initiating the scoping
process to identify community concerns
and issues that should be addressed in
the EIS. Agencies and the public are
encouraged to provide written
comments at scheduled public scoping
meetings. Comments should clearly
describe specific issues or topics that
the EIS should address. Written
