Decision

Based on the Final SEIS, CDC has decided to implement Alternative 1 (Preferred Alternative) as the selected alternative. This Alternative includes the construction and operation of a new Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerator in a new laboratory building, the operation of two proposed emergency standby power diesel generators to support that laboratory, and annual testing of the generators. According to the analysis, no potential significant impacts were identified for the selected alternative.

CDC's decision is based on an analysis of the potential impacts of the alternatives considered in the SEIS weighed against CDC's continuing need to fulfill its unique and critical public health mission and its ability to mitigate in whole or in part the adverse impacts. CDC also considered the input from the public and agencies, such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Environmental Protection Division, and Georgia Historic Preservation Division.
