MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. -- Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ) is proposing to expand the Ammunition Supply Point (ASP). The contractor will construct an issue and segregation facility, a vehicle safe haven, replace deficient magazines, and provide new infrastructure to correct existing explosive safety issues. The new construction will increase mission capabilities, improve emergency response time and fire protection capabilities within the ASP.
An archaeological survey was conducted in the area in September of 2013. The sites that were located within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) were not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), but a cemetery was located in the APE. In 1942, the graves of six members of the Mountjoy family and one other person were moved to Cedar Run Cemetery. Once the project is completed, access to the area will be restricted.
Project information is available for review by making a written request to: Commander, NREA Branch (B 046) 3250 Catlin Avenue, Quantico, Virginia 22134-5001. Review requests and comments will be accepted for thirty (30) days after publication of this notice.
