Whether it will be developed into a golf course, a county park or kept as is has yet to be determined, though advocates and lawmakers have made their views known.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2022\/08\/15\/how-much-land-does-the-military-really-own\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/635847458617696756-2312449jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">How much land does the military really own?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The U.S. military has nearly 30 million acres around the world.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chet Gladchuck, who heads the Naval Academy\u2019s athletic department and golf association, is the individual behind the effort to build the new golf course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re submitting our proposal, whether or not the Navy determines it to be sole-sourced or not,\u201d Gladchuk told Military Times, adding that his vision for the project, which would be entirely privately funded, is to advance the academy\u2019s recreational and athletic facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Naval Academy\u2019s current golf course, available to active duty, retired military and civilians, is leased by the golf association and recently received a multimillion dollar renovation, Gladchuck said. He cited his organization\u2019s management of the existing course as a template for how it would handle the new responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opponents declare water hazard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The competing proposal by Anne Arundel County, guided by county executive Steuart Pittman, to lease and manage Greenbury Point as a conservation area has been backed by several conservation groups that have strongly objected to the new golf course, arguing that fertilizer and chemicals from its construction would damage the area\u2019s wetlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur first and immediate concern was the environmental impact that a golf course would have on this very sensitive piece of property,\u201d Jesse Iliff, the executive director of the environmental nonprofit Severn River Association, told Military Times. Iliff also noted that the transparency of the project proposal was a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gladchuck has pursued the construction of the second golf course since early this year, according to a letter made available to Military Times via a Maryland citizen\u2019s FOIA request. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On February 15, he contacted Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro to ask for his support. A May 6 response from Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy James Balocki told Gladchuck to instead ask Naval Support Activity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalgazette.com\/news\/ac-cn-naga-annapolis-0723-20220724-byar3yvtyrertj7nbrsss7salu-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Capital<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think a second golf course would be harmful to the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River for several reasons,\u201d said Joel Dunn, president and CEO of the environmental nonprofit Chesapeake Conservancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dunn\u2019s organization has worked extensively with the Pentagon, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.repi.mil\/\" target=\"_blank\">DoD\u2019s Environmental Protection Integration Program,<\/a> to preserve natural lands, but even using best environmental practices could still unleash harmful chemicals into the water, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chesapeakeconservancy.org\/2022\/06\/02\/new-poll-shows-marylanders-overwhelmingly-oppose-developing-a-golf-course-at-the-greenbury-point-conservation-area\/\" target=\"_blank\">statewide survey<\/a> conducted at the beginning of the summer found that roughly two-thirds of Maryland residents were opposed to building a new course on conservation land. A subsequent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/save-greenbury-point\" target=\"_blank\">online petition<\/a> encouraged individuals to write their lawmakers, and separately, a Facebook page, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/3086525284995977\" target=\"_blank\">Save Greenbury Point<\/a>, has championed conservation at the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll the people that are having a difficult time right now with the project, I don\u2019t know if they understand fully the meticulous detail that goes into development of something as comprehensive as this,\u201d Gladchuck said, crediting a process he says would include a proper environmental impact review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among other regulations, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/nepa\/what-national-environmental-policy-act#:~:text=The%20National%20Environmental%20Policy%20Act%20(NEPA)%20was%20signed%20into%20law,actions%20prior%20to%20making%20decisions\" target=\"_blank\">National Environmental Policy Act<\/a>, enacted in 1970, requires federal agencies to assess the environmental impact of a proposed action before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Congress on the fairway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an an Aug. 15 letter to Secretary Del Toro, Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.), who represents the district where Greenbury Point is located, and other Maryland lawmakers discussed \u201cthree baseline requirements\u201d for protecting the environment and maintaining public access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGreenbury Point is a critical conservation area, buffering the Chesapeake Bay from nutrient pollution while providing irreplaceable habitats for wildlife and access to the Bay for the community,\u201d Sarbanes told Military Times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have deep reservations about any proposal to convert this forested land to a golf course and limit public access to such an important natural recreation area. I will continue to monitor this situation closely and take every opportunity to communicate to the Navy my own concerns and those of my constituents and area environmental groups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anne Arundel County officials told Military Times they did not have anything to add at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plans to develop a
