Welcome to the Directorate of Public Works Natural Resources Branch website. Our mission is to support the Soldier’s and Military Mission of Fort Gordon; Promote ecological integrity of the landscape; evaluate environmental impacts and facilitate compliance with applicable legal requirements in order to maintain the availability of Army land to sustain current and future operations.

Our purpose is to promote the long-term cultural and ecological sustainability of Fort Gordon’s lands for military training and multiple-use opportunities. Fort Gordon will apply sound land and adaptive management strategies that conserve ecological integrity through the restoration, maintenance, and conservation of natural biotic communities. This ecosystem management approach will encompass stakeholder interests, regulatory requirements and fiscal constraints.

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

National Enviromental Policy Act The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is intended to identify significant environmental effects of proposed programs, projects and actions. These effects will be considered in the decision process along with technical, economic, and other necessary factors. DA will carry out the mission of national security in a manner consistent with NEPA and other applicable environmental standards, laws, and policies. The most recent DA policy and guidance on NEPA implementation went into effect on 28 Mar 02 and is found in AR 200-2. This document is provided in Portable Document Format (PDF).

Fort Gordon uses the NEPA process to ensure that mission requirements are accomplished while complying with all environmental, natural and cultural resources laws and regulations.
