As a result, the Naval Surface Warfare Center Division Corona, CA would be relocated to Naval Base Ventura County (Naval Air Station Point Mugu), CA.
The environmental concerns associated with this recommendation are as follows: Naval Air Station Point Mugu, CA, was in Severe Non-attainment for Ozone (1-Hour) but no Air Conformity Determination would be required; there would also be potential impacts for cultural, archeological, or tribal resources, threatened and endangered species, waste management and wetlands.
Considering the overall military value and the fact that Naval Support Activity Corona was a single function facility, the Department reviewed the possibility of relocating the Naval Surface Warfare Center functions to a multi-functional location with the capability to host these functions.
