The U.S. Army (Army) has prepared a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Modernization and Repair of Piers 2 and 3 at Military Ocean Terminal Concord, California (MOTCO) to document the Army's selection of Alternative 1 of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the action. Alternative 1 was selected because it meets the purpose and need of the proposed action, and balances environmental impacts with operational flexibility by providing MOTCO with safe, functional, and efficient facilities. Alternative 1 will fully implement repairs to Pier 3 and will re-orient and modernize Pier 2 to provide more efficient access for the types of vessels that use the pier. Implementation of Alternative 1 will include extensive demolition of existing Pier 2 and reconstruction of structural elements, replacement of pier-side infrastructure and supporting facilities at Pier 2, upgrades to shore-side roads and electrical infrastructure in the immediate vicinity of Piers 2 and 3, repair piles at Pier 3, and maintenance dredging waterward of Pier 2. The ROD adopts mitigation and management measures.

Record of Decision for the Modernization and Repair of Piers 2 
and 3, Military Ocean Terminal Concord, CA

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army (Army) has prepared a Record of Decision (ROD) 
for the Modernization and Repair of Piers 2 and 3 at Military Ocean 
Terminal Concord, California (MOTCO) to document the Army's selection 
of Alternative 1 of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for 
the action. Alternative 1 was selected because it meets the purpose and 
need of the proposed action, and balances environmental impacts with 
operational flexibility by providing MOTCO with safe, functional, and 
efficient facilities. Alternative 1 will fully implement repairs to 
Pier 3 and will re-orient and modernize Pier 2 to provide more 
efficient access for the types of vessels that use the pier. 
Implementation of Alternative 1 will include extensive demolition of 
existing Pier 2 and reconstruction of structural elements, replacement 
of pier-side infrastructure and supporting facilities at Pier 2, 
upgrades to shore-side roads and electrical infrastructure in the 
immediate vicinity of Piers 2 and 3, repair piles at Pier 3, and 
maintenance dredging waterward of Pier 2. The ROD adopts mitigation and 
management measures.

ADDRESSES: The ROD can be obtained electronically at http://www.sddc.army.mil/MOTCO/default.aspx. Written requests to obtain a copy 
of the ROD should be addressed to Mr. Malcolm Charles, Director of 
Public Works, Attention: SDAT-CCA-MI (Charles), 410 Norman Avenue, 
Concord, CA 94520; or emailed to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Sarah Garner, Public Affairs 
Office, Surface Deployment and Distribution Command; telephone: (618) 
220-6284; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Army assessed the potential 
environmental and socioeconomic impacts associated with those actions 
necessary to modernize and repair Pier 2 and repair Pier 3 so the Army 
can maintain its ability to meet Department of Defense (DOD) mission 
requirements. The selected alternative implements repairs to Pier 3 and 
re-orients Pier 2 to provide more efficient access for the types of 
vessels that use the pier. The ROD incorporates the analysis contained 
in the Final EIS, including comments provided during the public review 
periods.
    Potential impacts were evaluated for noise; air quality; geology, 
topography, and soils; water resources; biological resources; land use 
and coastal zone management; transportation; infrastructure; visual 
resources; recreational resources; socioeconomics; environmental 
justice and protection of children; cultural resources; and hazardous 
materials, hazardous waste, toxic substances, and contaminated sites. 
Based on the analysis described in the Final EIS, all impacts are 
anticipated to be less than significant.
    The Army concluded that the proposed action is consistent, to the 
maximum extent practicable, with the enforceable policies of the San 
Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission's (BCDC's) 
Coastal Management Program. BCDC issued conditional concurrences to the 
Army's Coastal Zone Management Act Consistency Determinations for Piers 
3 and 2 on January 21, 2015 and April 9, 2015, respectively. The Army 
will adhere to the conditions detailed in the respective amended 
Consistency Determinations.
    The ROD adopts mitigation and management measures. The measures 
include (1) commitments for cultural and biological resources resulting 
from agency consultations and (2) existing best management practices 
and standard operating procedures that the Army will continue with 
implementation of the Alternative 1. Commitments include general and 
specific measures for the protection of cultural resources and the 
protection of federally listed species and their habitat. The best 
management practices and standard operating procedures address erosion 
control, stormwater management, energy reduction, water efficiency/
conservation, hazardous materials management, spill prevention and 
response, munitions and explosives of concern, natural resources 
management,
