GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), Development of a
Clifton Road Campus Annex, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;
Atlanta, GA
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 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for a
30 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. Comments
should be addressed directly to GSA. The 30-day comment period will
begin with the publication of this Notice in the Federal Register.
The FEIS 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
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 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.
GSA solicits comments on the FEIS in writing: 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

received no later than Monday, January 6, 1997.

Regional Environmental Officer, GSA Region 4 (4PT).
