Important information regarding the proposed “Port of St. Marys
Industrial & Logistics Center” can be found here:
“Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Commercial Space Transportation is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the Camden County Board of Commissioners' proposal to construct and operate Spaceport Camden, a commercial space launch site.
The proposed launch site is located in an unincorporated area of Woodbine, in Camden County, Georgia, approximately 11.5 miles due east of the town of Woodbine, Georgia. On November 6, 2015, the FAA issued a Notice of Intent to prepare the EIS, open the public scoping period, and hold a public scoping meeting in Kingsland, Camden County, Georgia.
The EIS will consider the potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. Based on comments received during the scoping period, the FAA may analyze additional alternatives. The Proposed Action is for the FAA to issue a Launch Site Operator License to the Camden County Board of Commissioners that would allow the County to offer the commercial space launch site to commercial launch providers to conduct launches of liquid-fueled, medium-lift-class, orbital and suborbital vertical launch vehicles.
To help determine the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is hosting a public scoping meeting at the following date, time, and location:
Monday, December 7, 2015
5:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Camden County Public Service Authority Recreation Center
Community Room
1050 Wildcat Drive
Kingsland, Georgia 31548
The meeting format will include an open-house workshop from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, followed by a formal comment session. During the open house, there will be a table with comment forms for writing your comments, or you may speak to a stenographer who will record your comments. After the open house, the formal session will begin. The FAA will provide an overview of the environmental process from 6:00 PM to 6:15 PM, followed by a public comment period from 6:15 PM to 8:00 PM. During the public comment period, members of the public may provide up to a 2-minute statement. A stenographer will transcribe oral comments.
Comments, statements, or questions concerning scoping issues or the EIS process should be mailed to: Ms. Stacey M. Zee, FAA Environmental Specialist, Spaceport Camden County EIS, c/o Leidos, 20201 Century Boulevard, Suite 105, Germantown, MD 20874. Comments may also be sent by email to FAACamdenSpaceportEIS@Leidos.com.
All comments received during the scoping period, whether provided in writing or orally, will be given equal weight and will be taken into consideration in the preparation of the Draft EIS.
More information on the proposed project and the NEPA process, and the Notice of Intent, are available on the project website at: http://www.faa.gov/…/r…/documents_progress/camden_spaceport/“
