DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 
Notice of Floodplain Involvement for the Transfer of Parcel H at 
the Miamisburg Environmental Management Project

AGENCY: Ohio Field Office, Miamisburg Environmental Management Project 
(MEMP), Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of floodplain involvement.

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

SUMMARY: This is to give notice of DOE's proposal to transfer ownership 
of approximately 14 acres of property in the northeast corner of the 
MEMP site, located approximately 10 (ten) miles southwest of Dayton, 
Ohio. The property, designated Parcel H, has been determined to be 
excess to DOE's long-term needs. As a result, ownership of this 
property will be transferred to a non-Federal entity. A small portion 
of Parcel H lies within the 100-year floodplain, i.e., the area is 
subject to a 1% chance per year of inundation from a nearby tributary 
of the Great Miami River. In accordance with 10 CFR 1022.5(d), DOE will 
identify those uses that are restricted under Federal, state, and local 
floodplain regulations. The future owner of Parcel H will be made aware 
of the applicable governing regulations on or adjacent to the 100-year 
floodplain.

DATES: Written comments must be received by the DOE at the following 
address on or before January 27, 1999.

ADDRESSES: For further information on this proposed action, including a 
site map and/or copy of the Floodplain Assessment, contact: Mr. Frank 
Schmaltz, Project Manager, U.S. Department of Energy, Miamisburg 
Environmental Management Project, P.O. Box 66, Miamisburg, OH 45343-

floodplain and wetland environmental review requirements, contact: Ms. 
Carol Borgstrom, Director, Office of NEPA Policy and Assistance, EH-42,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed activity would support ultimate 
disposition of the MEMP site. The MEMP site has been determined to be 
excess to DOE's long-term needs. This decision is supported by the 
Nonnuclear Consolidation Environmental Assessment (DOE/EA-0792) and 
associated Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) dated September 14, 
1993, and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the DOE Defense 
Programs, Environmental Management and Nuclear Energy Programs, dated 
August 1, 1995. In order to meet the programmatic need to disposition 
land determined to be excess to DOE's needs, ownership of the site will 
be transferred to a non-Federal entity. The property will be released 
in phases, as certain parcels of property are still in use or are not 
yet suitable for transfer. This notice addresses one parcel of land,
