Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations, the Department of the Navy (DoN) prepared and filed with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Draft EIS evaluates the potential environmental effects associated with the acquisition of land at the Southeast Federal Center (SEFC), adjacent to the Washington Navy Yard (WNY), Washington, D.C.

Comments submitted during the public comment period, including comments on alternatives, information, and analysis, will become part of the public record, and substantive comments will be considered in the Final EIS.
