This document addresses the environmental effects resulting from the closure of Cameron Station and associated realignments to Fort Belvoir, Fort Myer, and Fort McNair. This document also addresses the realignments from Fort Meade, Fort Holabird, Army Materials Technology Laboratory (AMTL), and leased space to Fort Belvoir. The effects on Fort Belvoir of the realignment of the Information Systems Command (ISC) to Fort Devens are also included in this document. No significant adverse effects are expected as a result of the closure of Cameron Station. The loss of 3,835 military and civilian positions is not considered to be a significant adverse effect because most of the people affected by the closure will be relocated within the region. The most significant adverse effects of the BRAC projects at Fort Belvoir will be the increase in traffic volumes and potential changes in commuter patterns. To assess the effects of these developments, future-year traffic forecasts were prepared using a region-wide transportation model.

The Defense Secretary's Commission on Base Realignment and Closure was chartered on May 3, 1988 to recommend military installations within the United States, its commonwealths, territories, and possessions for realignment and closure. The Congress and the President subsequently endorsed this approach through legislation that removed some of the previous impediments to successful base-closure actions. This Commission's recommendations for closure and realignment affect 145 installations. Of this number, 86 are to be closed fully, five are to be closed in part, and 54 will experience a change, either an increase or a decrease, as units and activities are relocated. The Commission also makes several additional recommendations that address potential problems in implementing the Commission's closure and realignment recommendations and certain other matters that the Commission has discovered during its review of the military base structure.
