The Navy manages its land, air, and sea ranges, facilities, and natural resources
as integrated training range complexes to be able to meet its current and future
requirements while protecting natural and cultural resources and minimizing effects
to the environment.
As responsible environmental stewards, the U.S. Navy is concerned about the
potential effects of its operations on the environment and is
committed to complying
with all applicable federal laws, regulations and policies. The Navy spends
millions of dollars each year on research to better understand the potential
effects of its activities on the environment to help ensure that Navy policy
and compliance are based on real science.

Public involvement is a
fundamental part of the EIS/OEIS 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.
In early 2009, the Draft EIS/OEIS will be made available for
public review on this web site and in designated public libraries.
Public hearings will also be held. The public will be invited to comment
on the Draft EIS/OEIS, and comments will be addressed in the Final EIS/OEIS.
