Environmental Stewardship
The Navy manages its land, air, and sea ranges, facilities, and
natural resources as integrated training range complexes to meet its
current and future requirements while protecting cultural and
natural resources, and minimizing its effects on the environment. As a responsible environmental steward, the Navy is concerned about the potential effects of its
activities on the environment, and is committed to complying with all applicable federal laws,
regulations, and policies. Environmental programs and policies have been developed to protect
and improve air, water, and land, cultural resources, and
natural resources. The protection of
natural and cultural resources has become an integral part of planning for training on SSTC.
Navy training activities incorporate protective measures as standard operating procedures to
promote environmental conservation. In addition, the Navy has funded studies to better understand
the science behind current environmental issues, and to ensure that Navy policy decisions are guided
by science. |
Public involvement is a fundamental part of the EIS development, and the Navy wants and appreciates your comments.
The Navy has established several venues and informational resource areas for the public to learn more and provide input.
The Draft EIS is now available for public review and comment. The Navy will host informational
hearings and request public comments on its proposed action. Comments will also be received through this website.
