URL: https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/documents/fr%3A96-20840 ## Record - **Collection:** Federal Register - **Document type:** Notice - **Published:** August 15, 1996 - **Citation:** 61 FR 42424 ## Text GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION Notice of Availability; Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) Development of a Clifton Road Campus Annex Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Atlanta, Georgia Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, and the President's Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR 1500-1508), as implemented by General Services Administration (GSA) Order PBS P 1095.4B, GSA announces the availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for a 45 day comment period, for the long-term development, over a twenty year horizon, of a campus annex (West Campus) to house the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Your comments should be addressed directly to GSA. The 45-day comment period will begin with the publication of this Notice in the Federal Register. The DEIS examined the short and long term impacts on the natural and built environments of developing and operating a mix of laboratory, office, and support space at the proposed West Campus. The DEIS also examined measures to mitigate unavoidable adverse impacts of the proposed action. The Main CDC Campus occupies 27.6 acres, and is bounded by Clifton Road to the north, Michael Street to the south and east, and Clifton Way to the west. CDC currently occupies approximately [[Page 42425]] 884,000 gross square feet in 17 buildings, housing some 1,900 personnel. Approximately 60 percent of gross square footage consists of laboratory space, the remainder being office, administrative, and facility support space. There are approximately 1,800 parking spaces on site. To meet CDC's known facility replacement needs, and to provide future expansion space, GSA proposes to acquire and develop approximately 17.6 acres bounded by Clifton Road to the north Clifton Way to the east, and Michael Street to the south and west (West Campus). The maximum anticipated development over a twenty year planning horizon is approximately 633,000 additional gross square feet of laboratory, office, and support space, and 1,521 additional parking spaces. GSA has identified the following alternatives to be examined in the EIS: ``No Action,'' that is, undertake no site acquisition and development at all. Full Acquisition of 17.6 acres and full development of the proposed West Campus Site, previously described. This is the GSA/CDC preferred alternative and the proposed action. Limited Expansion by acquisition of less than the full 17.6 acres and development and expansion on a portion of the 17.6 acres and on the existing campus. On site consolidation and no additional site acquisition, with development occurring on the existing government-owned CDC Campus site. As part of the public scoping process, GSA encourages you to provide comments on the DEIS in writing at the following address: Mr. George Chandler or Mr. Phil Youngberg, GSA/PBS Portfolio Management 4PT, 401 West Peachtree Street, NW, Suite 3010, Atlanta, GA 30365 or, FAX your comments to GSA at 404-331-4540. Comments should be postmarked no later than October 7, 1996. GSA intends to conduct a Public Meeting during the 45-day comment period to solicit comments on the DEIS, and to address general questions and concerns. GSA will place a Notice of this and all subsequent public meetings and document releases concerning the proposed action in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution approximately two weeks prior to the event. GSA will notify persons and organizations on our mailing list. Persons who wish to be added to the mailing list should write or FAX GSA as indicated in this Notice. Dated: August 8, 1996. Phil Youngberg, Regional Environmental Officer, 4PT.
