*Help** Save Johnson Valley**!*
If you want to save Johnson Valley and the Hammers, you might want to check out the info below.
Looks like the next meeting is Jan 31, 2009.
The Marine Corps is studying it's needs to meet the Marine Corps
Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) sustained, combined arms, live-fire and
maneuver training requirements. The scoping meetings are designed to
solicit input from stakeholders, the affected public and agencies
regarding issues or interests that should be studied or the reasonable
alternatives that should be considered for the study moving forward.
Each of the three scoping meetings will consist of an informal, open
house session with information stations staffed by Marine Corps
representatives. Public comment forms will be available and gathered at
the information stations, and a stenographer will be available to take
oral comments for inclusion in the record.
At this time the Marine Corps is studying five potential base expansion
alternatives and a No Action Alternative. These study alternatives include:
Alternatives 1 & 4 -- Add 188,000 acres West of the base and 22,000
acres South of the base. These alternatives effectively include
expansion in to all of the Johnson Valley OHV-Multiple Use Area.
Training movements and live-fire exercises differ between Alternative 1
and 4.
Alternative 2 -- Add 122,000 acres West of the base and 22,000 acres
South of the base. This alternative includes most of the Johnson Valley
OHV-Multiple Use Area.
Alternative 3 -- Add 228,000 acres East of the base and 22,000 acres
South of the base. This alternative does not include expansion into
Johnson Valley.
Alternative 5 -- Add 188,000 acres West of the base only (Johnson Valley).
No Action Alternative -- Marine Corps will seek no additional lands, MEB
exercises would occur on existing base.
Take Action Now -- Attend at least one public scoping meeting and
encourage your family and friends to do the same, and pass along this
information to others you think are interested in Johnson Valley's
future. Visit the Partnership For Johnson Valley at www.pfjv.org
