This document summarizes natural and cultural resource management activities at a naval facility. It outlines that the facility supports various military missions through managing over 87,000 acres of land, which includes 17,000 acres of wetlands and waterways. Key programs at the facility include threatened and endangered species surveys, forestry management, and invasive species control. Recent accomplishments include establishing a regional bat database, GPS tracking of Atlantic sturgeon, and completing all fiscal year 2019 funds execution. Natural resource management supports the military mission through compliance activities and programs that balance training needs with environmental protection.

How NAVFAC Midlant Supports the Mission
Northern Long-Eared Bat: Provide guidance for timber clearing activities regarding compliance
w/Programmatic BO on Final 4(d) Rule for NLEB and activities exempted from take prohibitions
Atlantic Sturgeon tracking: Provides current survey data to make and defend effects analysis
2.4K acres of Ag Outlease: manage clearzone requirement mission on 2 major runways and ROTHR
atteana array at no cost to mission
Forestry Program (NSACR NWSY NWSE): Manage large tracks of land for timber production,
wildlife/recreation while supporting and enhancing mission activities (buffers, explosive safety arcs)
Sea Turtle Program (Dam Neck/JEB Ft. Story: BO with FWS to relocate active nest to non training
areas of the beaches resulting in no net loss to mission training
Bald Eagle Nest Survey: Document Eagle Nest Location supporting BASH efforts
Lessons Learned/Shared
NEPA Streamline Guidance: Need to ID projects that were historically EAs where permitting and
consultations were contracted services. Moving forward these services will need be competed in-
house or paid for by the project. These cost and time can be significant
Ag Outlease Renewals: The presence of PFAS in soil, surface and ground water and the absence of
DoD/Navy policy regarding PFAS has delayed renewal of all ag leases in the region
