GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the
Development of a Clifton Road Campus Annex for the 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 its
intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the long-
term development of a campus annex (West Campus) to house the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The EIS will examine 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. Potential impact
assessment areas include but are not limited to air, water, public
facilities & infrastructure, plant & animal life, transportation
systems, parking, and community & economic issues.
The EIS will also examine measures to mitigate unavoidable adverse
impacts of the proposed action. Concurrent with NEPA implementation,
GSA will also implement its consultation requirements under Section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act to determine the potential
impacts of the proposed action on historic & cultural resources.
CDC's existing Main 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 16.8 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 2,300 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.
Development of the proposed West Campus Site, previously
described in this Notice. This is the GSA/CDC preferred alternative.
Development of the proposed West Campus housing
requirements on the Main Campus.
GSA may examine alternative levels of development based on CDC's
known and projected requirements in response to public comments
received during the NEPA analysis period.
As part of the public scoping process, GSA encourages you to
contact us in writing at the following address with your concerns
regarding the proposed action: Mr. George Chandler, Technical Services
Team Leader, PBS Portfolio Management--4PT, 401 West Peachtree Street,
NW, Suite 3000, Atlanta, GA 30365, or, FAX your comments to Mr.
Chandler at 404-331-4540. Comments should be postmarked no later than
July 9, 1995.
GSA intends to conduct a Public Scoping Meeting to solicit
comments, and to address general questions concerning the proposed
action and NEPA. 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 by
mail. Persons who wish to be added to the mailing list should write or
FAX GSA as indicated in this Notice.
Dated: June 1, 1995.
Jimmy H. Bridgeman,
Assistant Regional Administrator, Public Buildings Service.
