Reuse Project revised Draft EIR available for 45-day review
The revised Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the proposed reuse plan for the closed Concord Naval Weapons Station is now available for a 45-day review period.
The revised DEIR addresses the Preferred Alternative (Clustered Villages) as well as the Concentration and Conservation Alternative and the No Project Alternative.
The Concord City Council unanimously approved the Clustered Villages alternative as the Preferred Reuse Plan Alternative in January 2009.
The 45-day public review period begins Aug. 28 and ends Oct. 15. Written comments should be directed to Michael Wright, Director of Community Reuse Planning, City of Concord, 1950 Parkside Drive, MS/56, Concord, CA 94519. The comment period will close at 5 p.m. on Oct. 15.
The document is available for review at the Concord Community Reuse Project Office at Concord Civic Center, 1950 Parkside Drive, Wing A, or at the Concord Public Library, 2900 Salvio St., or on the Concord Community Reuse Project website, www.concordreuseproject.org.
Copies of the document are available upon request on compact disc by calling Reuse Project Executive Assistant Pamela Laperchia, (925) 671-3001 or can be picked up at the Concord Community Reuse Project Office at the Concord Civic Center. Printed copies can be ordered through Ms. Laperchia for the cost of the printing.
After the public review and comment period is completed, a Final EIR, which includes response to all submitted comments, will be prepared. The Final EIR will also include a response to all comments received on the May 2008 draft EIR that covered the original seven reuse alternatives. The Concord City Council will consider the Final EIR before it takes action to certify the document and officially adopt the Reuse Plan.
