Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan (l996b) and Errata (1998).
ES-3 USE OF AN INTEGRATED DOCUMENT
The purpose of this integrated EIS/EIR is to assess the potential significant environmental impacts
of disposal of the federal property, MCAS Tustin, and the subsequent reuse of that federal property
and a small parcel of adjacent, privately owned property. Decisions regarding which bases to close,
relocate, or realign are exempt from NEPA documentation requirements under the DBCRA (10
U.S.C. § 2687 note (1994)). However, once the decision has been made to close, relocate, or realign
a specified base, DON is required to prepare appropriate NEP A documentation evaluating the
environmental effects of the disposal and subsequent reuse of the property. The City of Tustin, as
the local lead agency, is required under CEQA to evaluate the environmental effects ofimplementing
reuse plans. In this case, the City of Tustin could also take action on adoption of an imp1emcntrng
a series of actions to implement the proposed LRA Reuse Alternative, including a specific plan
which is subject to CEQA only. Section 1.5.1 addresses the agency uses of the joint NEP AlCEQA
analysis of the reuse plan and Section 1.5.2 discusses the agency uses of the CEQA only analysis of
the Spccific Plan implementing actions.
