consequences of the proposed action, announces its decision to provide unimpeded access to the Laurelwood housing area located at Naval

Weapons Station (NWS) Earle, Colts Neck, New Jersey, as required by its agreement with the developer of the Laurelwood housing area. Unimpeded access will be accomplished through implementing Alternative Alignment 4, described in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) as the preferred alternative, which will access NWS Earle via a new entrance south of the main gate along New Jersey Route 34 and terminate at the

Laurelwood housing area. This will require the issuance of an easement to the Laurelwood developer over the path of the access road, construction of the access road, construction of a bridge over

Esperance Road, and installation of perimeter fencing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Record of Decision (ROD) has been distributed to all persons who requested a copy of the FEIS. The complete text of the ROD is available on the public Web site: http:// www.laurelwoodeis.com along with the complete FEIS and accompanying documentation.
