The Final EIS incorporates analyses presented in the October 2012 Draft EIS and January 2015 Supplemental Draft EIS. The purpose of the proposed FASTC in Nottoway County is to consolidate existing dispersed hard skills security training functions to provide effective, efficient training specifically designed to enable foreign affairs personnel to operate in today's perilous and dangerous overseas environment. Hard skills training is practical, hands-on training in firearms, explosives, antiterrorism driving techniques, defensive tactics, and security operations. The proposed FASTC is needed to improve training efficiency and provide priority access to training venues to meet increased demand for well-trained personnel. The Final EIS analyzes the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the No Action Alternative and Build Alternative 3 with regard to climate, topography, geology, soils, water, biological and cultural resources, air quality, noise, land use and zoning, socioeconomics, traffic and transportation, recreation, utilities, public health and safety, visual resources, and hazardous substances. Build Alternative 3 was developed based on a 2014 Master Plan Update that incorporates adjustments made to the proposed FASTC scope of requirements and is the Preferred Alternative.

AN - 16377160; 16380 AB - PURPOSE: General Service Administration (GSA) has prepared this Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the environmental impacts of site acquisition and development of the DOS, Bureau of Diplomatic Security, FASTC at the Army National Guard Maneuver Training Center at Fort Pickett and Nottoway Countys Local Redevelopment Authority area in Nottoway County, Virginia. The Supplemental Draft EIS incorporates by reference and builds upon the analyses presented in the published 2012 Draft EIS. The Supplemental Draft EIS addresses substantial changes to the proposed action that are relevant to environmental concerns and assesses any new circumstances or information relevant to potential environmental impacts. To achieve cost savings, DOS decided to reduce the scope of the program to include only hard skills training venues, which consist of high speed driving tracks, weapons firing ranges, mock urban environments, explosives ranges, and associated classrooms and administrative support functions. The purpose of the proposed FASTC in Nottoway County is to consolidate existing dispersed hard skills training functions into a single suitable location that can provide hard skills training specifically designed to enable personnel to conduct security operations/activities in high-threat environments abroad. The proposed FASTC is needed to improve training efficiency and provide priority access to training venues to meet increased demand for well-trained personnel. The Supplemental Draft EIS analyzes the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the No Action Alternative and Build Alternative 3 with regard to climate, topography, geology, soils, water, biological and cultural resources, air quality, noise, land use and zoning, socioeconomics, traffic and transportation, recreation, utilities, public health and safety, visual resources, and hazardous substances.

AN - 1650139448; 16153 AB - PURPOSE: In September 2009, the General Services Administration (GSA) prepared a Record of Decision that approved the Preferred Alternative that was identified in the 2009 Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) This final supplemental EIS documents and evaluates changed circumstances and proposed modifications to the Approved Project since adoption of the 2009 Final EIS. The Approved Project and Revised Project (the Approved Project with proposed modifications) entail the reconfiguration and expansion of the existing San Ysidro Land Port of Entry (LPOE) in three independent phases to improve overall capacity and operational efficiency at the LPOE. The San Ysidro LPOE is located along Interstate 5 at the United States-Mexico border in the San Ysidro community of the City of San Diego, California. GSA is proposed modifications to the Approved Project, including (1) the incorporation of the northbound pedestrian inspections at the proposed southbound-only pedestrian crossing facility on the west side of the LPOE and modification of the phasing/timing of the construction of the pedestrian crossing facility; (2) changes to the development footprint on the west side of the LPOE and design refinements to the proposed Virginia Avenue transit facility; (3) a change in the number of vehicle lanes and the installation of southbound inspection booths and overhead canopies on the proposed southbound roadway; and (4) minor changes in the design and/or timing of implementation of several project elements. The changed circumstances associated with the Approve Project include changes to the phasing/timing of funding for proposed improvements and the construction of a temporary southbound roadway that connects I-5 and the El Chaparral LPOE in Mexico. This Final Supplemental EIS analyzes two alternatives of the Revised Project, as well as the No Action Alternative (which would implement the Approved Project with no changes). The Revised Project alternatives are referred to as the Six-lane Alternative and the Ten-lane Alternative; both of the Revised Project alternatives include the proposed modifications described above, as well as the other improvements originally proposed as part of the Approved Project analyzed in the Final EIS. The only difference between the two Revised Project alternatives is the number of lanes in the southbound roadway and the corresponding number of southbound inspection booths in the primary vehicular inspection area and vehicular spaces in the secondary inspection area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Revised Project would provide facilities to enhance mobility and multi-modal connections in San Ysidro and reduce southbound vehicle queues and wait times to cross the border during pulse and surge southbound inspections. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the Approved and Revised Projects would require acquisition of rights-of-way from six privately owned parcels and the 9.95-acre acquisition area would include relocation of three businesses. Economic losses, temporary construction impacts, interruptions in utility service, and traffic impacts would fall primarily on the local minority and low-income population.

Preparation date: September 27, 2013 N1 - Last updated - 2014-03-31 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PUBLIC SALE OF PLUM ISLAND ANIMAL DISEASE CENTER, LONG ISLAND SOUND, SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK. AN - 16386879; 15790 AB - PURPOSE: The public sale of property supporting the Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) in the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York is proposed. Portions of Plum Island have been in federal ownership since 1826 and have been used for varying purposes since that time. At one point, Plum Island served to support an active military facility, and later was used for military research purposes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) established PIADC in 1954. In 2003, the property was transferred to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which currently oversees the safety and security of the property while USDA continues to use PIADC for its research purposes. In January of 2009, DHS determined that the research and laboratory work performed on Plum Island would be moved to a new site in Manhattan, Kansas. The parcels of land supporting the PIADCs mission include: 1) Plum Island, situated in Long Island Sound and containing 840 acres of land; and 2) a support facility containing 9.5 acres of land with a nearby small parcel of land containing a substation, both of which are situated in Orient Point, New York. Plum Island is situated 1.5 miles off the northeast tip of Orient Point and is improved with 47 buildings, including a 55,000-square-foot administrative building, a 190,500-square-foot laboratory, and various support buildings. The Orient Point Facility is improved with a 2,890-square-foot administrative building, a supply warehouse, and a 780-square-foot guard post. The property is also improved with eight miles of road infrastructure, harbor facilities, and a 200-space parking lot. This final EIS considers the sale of Plum Island and a No Action Alternative. Three practicable land use options are considered in the event of a public sale. Under reuse option 1, the existing buildings, infrastructure, and transportation assets would be adapted for other purposes and continue to function at current or similar levels. Reuse option 2 describes residential development with a range of housing density scenarios from minimum (one housing unit on the island) to comparable (one housing unit per five acres, comparable to densities of Fishers Island and Orient Hamlet), to maximum (largest number of housing units that can be supported by Plum Island freshwater aquifer capacity). Reuse option 3 represents the primary function of protecting, managing, and enhancing the natural and cultural resources on the property should it be purchased for conservation or preservation purposes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The liquidation of the Plum Island asset through public sale would meet the financial and operational needs of the federal government. Development of the property would likely increase state and local tax revenue. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Property development could result in erosion, sedimentation, minor to moderate impacts to water resources, and a change in visual quality from rural to residential. In addition, development would likely increase impacts to biological resources by habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, and increased human activities. After transfer of title has occurred, it is recommended that areas of conservation be established to protect piping plover, roseate tern, shortnose sturgeon, five species of sea turtles, sandplain gerardia, seabeach amaranth, and small whorled pogonia. A number of cultural resources, including Plum Island Lighthouse, have been identified as potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

AN - 1317822805; 15539 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of the Foreign Affairs Security Training Center (FASTC) near the town of Blackstone, within and adjacent to Virginia Army National Guards Maneuver Training Center at Fort Pickett, in Nottoway County, Virginia are proposed. The facility would be used by the U.S. Department of State (DOS) Bureau of Diplomatic Security to conduct a wide array of law enforcement and security training to meet the increased demand for well trained personnel. The FASTC would provide state-of-the-art training for 8,000 to 10,000 students annually and would be designed, built, and secured to federal standards on four adjacent parcels at Fort Pickett and within Nottoway Countys local redevelopment area (LRA). In total, the four parcels comprise 1,502 acres and circulation between the parcels would occur on the Fort Pickett roadway network. Facilities would include classrooms, simulation labs, a fitness center, driving tracks, mock urban environments, firing and explosives ranges, as well as administrative offices, dormitories, a dining hall, and emergency medical response services. This draft EIS compares the impacts of two build alternatives with a No Action Alternative. Under Build Alternative 1, facilities for hard and soft skills training would be built on Parcel 21/20 off Dearing Road and LRA Parcel 9 off Military Road. The main campus, with soft skills and life support facilities, would be centrally located along the western boundary of Parcel 21/20. Build Alternative 2, which is the preferred alternative, would include two additional parcels, the Grid Parcel and LRA Parcel 10. The main campus would be located on LRA Parcel 10. The mock urban environments would be located on LRA Parcel 9 and the Grid Parcel. The driver training building and vehicle maintenance building, including a parking garage and associated surface parking, would be located on the Grid Parcel. A warehouse building would also be located on the Grid Parcel. The FASTC would be constructed in three phases: Phase 1 from 2014 to completion by 2017; Phase 2 from 2016 to 2018; and Phase 3 from 2018 to 2020. The number of students and staff would increase between construction phases until FASTC becomes fully operational in 2020. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FASTC would consolidate existing dispersed training functions into a single suitable location to improve training efficiency and enhance training operations. Alternative 2 would establish an independent and distinctive identity for FASTC by providing a separate entrance to the main campus and a separate controlled access point outside of Fort Pickett. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would require the clearing of 500 to 525 acres and would have direct and indirect adverse impacts to wetlands, streams, and forest. However, with impact minimization and mitigation measures, these impacts would not be significant. A minor increase in the frequency of peak explosive noise events would be most noticeable in the area northwest of the Fort Pickett boundary. Improvements would be required to address significant adverse traffic impacts at three roadway intersections. Access to Fort Pickett hunting areas would be reduced or eliminated in some areas.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 1027033783; 15247-9_0032 AB - PURPOSE: The consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia, through the development of up to one million gross square feet (gsf) of office space and parking on the North Parcel of the East Campus is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gsf of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated headquarters at St. Elizabeths Hospital, a National Historic Landmark. The Record of Decision for the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan, which was completed in December 2008, selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of space on the West Campus and assessed the impacts of developing 750,000 gsf of office space on the East Campus at a programmatic level. This Master Plan Amendment final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and three action alternatives for development of the St. Elizabeths East Campus North Parcel site, as well as transportation improvements required for DHS consolidation. Under the preferred alternative, the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff by 2018. The FEMA facility would be organized into three separate office structures interconnected by glass bridges and organized around two central open courtyards. The height of the buildings would be up to four stories on the western side of the North Parcel near Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue and up to nine stories on the lower eastern side of the parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. Two alternatives for improving the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and two alternatives for widening MLK Avenue are also evaluated. Under the preferred Transportation Alternative 1, MLK Avenue would be widened to allow for a 79-foot right-of-way for the roadway along the St. Elizabeths Campus. Improvements would include two lanes in each direction, an additional turn lane, median, and sidewalks along MLK Avenue to service the campus gates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The DHS Headquarters consolidation would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. The local economy would benefit from an increased demand in labor, employment, and retail opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduce pollutants into surface water, and create long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site could disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology. Transportation would be adversely impacted over the long-term.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 1027032781; 15247-9_0027 AB - PURPOSE: The consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia, through the development of up to one million gross square feet (gsf) of office space and parking on the North Parcel of the East Campus is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gsf of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated headquarters at St. Elizabeths Hospital, a National Historic Landmark. The Record of Decision for the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan, which was completed in December 2008, selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of space on the West Campus and assessed the impacts of developing 750,000 gsf of office space on the East Campus at a programmatic level. This Master Plan Amendment final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and three action alternatives for development of the St. Elizabeths East Campus North Parcel site, as well as transportation improvements required for DHS consolidation. Under the preferred alternative, the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff by 2018. The FEMA facility would be organized into three separate office structures interconnected by glass bridges and organized around two central open courtyards. The height of the buildings would be up to four stories on the western side of the North Parcel near Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue and up to nine stories on the lower eastern side of the parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. Two alternatives for improving the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and two alternatives for widening MLK Avenue are also evaluated. Under the preferred Transportation Alternative 1, MLK Avenue would be widened to allow for a 79-foot right-of-way for the roadway along the St. Elizabeths Campus. Improvements would include two lanes in each direction, an additional turn lane, median, and sidewalks along MLK Avenue to service the campus gates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The DHS Headquarters consolidation would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. The local economy would benefit from an increased demand in labor, employment, and retail opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduce pollutants into surface water, and create long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site could disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology. Transportation would be adversely impacted over the long-term.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 1027032728; 15247-9_0022 AB - PURPOSE: The consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia, through the development of up to one million gross square feet (gsf) of office space and parking on the North Parcel of the East Campus is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gsf of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated headquarters at St. Elizabeths Hospital, a National Historic Landmark. The Record of Decision for the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan, which was completed in December 2008, selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of space on the West Campus and assessed the impacts of developing 750,000 gsf of office space on the East Campus at a programmatic level. This Master Plan Amendment final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and three action alternatives for development of the St. Elizabeths East Campus North Parcel site, as well as transportation improvements required for DHS consolidation. Under the preferred alternative, the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff by 2018. The FEMA facility would be organized into three separate office structures interconnected by glass bridges and organized around two central open courtyards. The height of the buildings would be up to four stories on the western side of the North Parcel near Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue and up to nine stories on the lower eastern side of the parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. Two alternatives for improving the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and two alternatives for widening MLK Avenue are also evaluated. Under the preferred Transportation Alternative 1, MLK Avenue would be widened to allow for a 79-foot right-of-way for the roadway along the St. Elizabeths Campus. Improvements would include two lanes in each direction, an additional turn lane, median, and sidewalks along MLK Avenue to service the campus gates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The DHS Headquarters consolidation would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. The local economy would benefit from an increased demand in labor, employment, and retail opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduce pollutants into surface water, and create long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site could disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology. Transportation would be adversely impacted over the long-term.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 1027032687; 15247-9_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia, through the development of up to one million gross square feet (gsf) of office space and parking on the North Parcel of the East Campus is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gsf of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated headquarters at St. Elizabeths Hospital, a National Historic Landmark. The Record of Decision for the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan, which was completed in December 2008, selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of space on the West Campus and assessed the impacts of developing 750,000 gsf of office space on the East Campus at a programmatic level. This Master Plan Amendment final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and three action alternatives for development of the St. Elizabeths East Campus North Parcel site, as well as transportation improvements required for DHS consolidation. Under the preferred alternative, the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff by 2018. The FEMA facility would be organized into three separate office structures interconnected by glass bridges and organized around two central open courtyards. The height of the buildings would be up to four stories on the western side of the North Parcel near Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue and up to nine stories on the lower eastern side of the parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. Two alternatives for improving the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and two alternatives for widening MLK Avenue are also evaluated. Under the preferred Transportation Alternative 1, MLK Avenue would be widened to allow for a 79-foot right-of-way for the roadway along the St. Elizabeths Campus. Improvements would include two lanes in each direction, an additional turn lane, median, and sidewalks along MLK Avenue to service the campus gates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The DHS Headquarters consolidation would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. The local economy would benefit from an increased demand in labor, employment, and retail opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduce pollutants into surface water, and create long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site could disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology. Transportation would be adversely impacted over the long-term.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 1027032637; 15247-9_0013 AB - PURPOSE: The consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia, through the development of up to one million gross square feet (gsf) of office space and parking on the North Parcel of the East Campus is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gsf of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated headquarters at St. Elizabeths Hospital, a National Historic Landmark. The Record of Decision for the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan, which was completed in December 2008, selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of space on the West Campus and assessed the impacts of developing 750,000 gsf of office space on the East Campus at a programmatic level. This Master Plan Amendment final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and three action alternatives for development of the St. Elizabeths East Campus North Parcel site, as well as transportation improvements required for DHS consolidation. Under the preferred alternative, the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff by 2018. The FEMA facility would be organized into three separate office structures interconnected by glass bridges and organized around two central open courtyards. The height of the buildings would be up to four stories on the western side of the North Parcel near Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue and up to nine stories on the lower eastern side of the parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. Two alternatives for improving the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and two alternatives for widening MLK Avenue are also evaluated. Under the preferred Transportation Alternative 1, MLK Avenue would be widened to allow for a 79-foot right-of-way for the roadway along the St. Elizabeths Campus. Improvements would include two lanes in each direction, an additional turn lane, median, and sidewalks along MLK Avenue to service the campus gates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The DHS Headquarters consolidation would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. The local economy would benefit from an increased demand in labor, employment, and retail opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduce pollutants into surface water, and create long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site could disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology. Transportation would be adversely impacted over the long-term.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 1027032592; 15247-9_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia, through the development of up to one million gross square feet (gsf) of office space and parking on the North Parcel of the East Campus is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gsf of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated headquarters at St. Elizabeths Hospital, a National Historic Landmark. The Record of Decision for the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan, which was completed in December 2008, selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of space on the West Campus and assessed the impacts of developing 750,000 gsf of office space on the East Campus at a programmatic level. This Master Plan Amendment final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and three action alternatives for development of the St. Elizabeths East Campus North Parcel site, as well as transportation improvements required for DHS consolidation. Under the preferred alternative, the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff by 2018. The FEMA facility would be organized into three separate office structures interconnected by glass bridges and organized around two central open courtyards. The height of the buildings would be up to four stories on the western side of the North Parcel near Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue and up to nine stories on the lower eastern side of the parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. Two alternatives for improving the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and two alternatives for widening MLK Avenue are also evaluated. Under the preferred Transportation Alternative 1, MLK Avenue would be widened to allow for a 79-foot right-of-way for the roadway along the St. Elizabeths Campus. Improvements would include two lanes in each direction, an additional turn lane, median, and sidewalks along MLK Avenue to service the campus gates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The DHS Headquarters consolidation would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. The local economy would benefit from an increased demand in labor, employment, and retail opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduce pollutants into surface water, and create long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site could disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology. Transportation would be adversely impacted over the long-term.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 1027032531; 15247-9_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia, through the development of up to one million gross square feet (gsf) of office space and parking on the North Parcel of the East Campus is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gsf of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated headquarters at St. Elizabeths Hospital, a National Historic Landmark. The Record of Decision for the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan, which was completed in December 2008, selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of space on the West Campus and assessed the impacts of developing 750,000 gsf of office space on the East Campus at a programmatic level. This Master Plan Amendment final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and three action alternatives for development of the St. Elizabeths East Campus North Parcel site, as well as transportation improvements required for DHS consolidation. Under the preferred alternative, the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff by 2018. The FEMA facility would be organized into three separate office structures interconnected by glass bridges and organized around two central open courtyards. The height of the buildings would be up to four stories on the western side of the North Parcel near Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue and up to nine stories on the lower eastern side of the parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. Two alternatives for improving the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and two alternatives for widening MLK Avenue are also evaluated. Under the preferred Transportation Alternative 1, MLK Avenue would be widened to allow for a 79-foot right-of-way for the roadway along the St. Elizabeths Campus. Improvements would include two lanes in each direction, an additional turn lane, median, and sidewalks along MLK Avenue to service the campus gates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The DHS Headquarters consolidation would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. The local economy would benefit from an increased demand in labor, employment, and retail opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduce pollutants into surface water, and create long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site could disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology. Transportation would be adversely impacted over the long-term.

AN - 908486456; 15091 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the existing land port of entry (LPOE) along the international border between the United States and Canada in International Falls, Koochiching County, Minnesota is proposed. The 24-hour LPOE serves as the crossing for both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, trains, buses, and pedestrians via the International Bridge over the Rainy River, connecting International Falls with the city of Fort Frances, Ontario. The existing LPOE, which was built in 1993, consists of a single building and parking areas on 1.6 acres and is deficient in the number and location of primary and secondary inbound inspection areas, outbound inspection lane and area, parking and delivery areas, and building setbacks required to meet current guidelines. The new LPOE would be designed in accordance with modern requirements to provide a facility adequate for a minimum of 20 years. The proposed action consists of the acquisition of property to meet the space requirements of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and other federal agencies and the construction of new buildings and facilities. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to traffic queues in both directions, the potential impact to businesses in International Falls, the potential impact to pedestrians, and aesthetics. This final EIS analyzes a No Build Alternative and five build alternatives which would involve demolishing the existing building and reuse of the site. Alternative 10 is the preferred alternative and would consist of demolishing the existing building, constructing new facilities at the existing LPOE, and expanding the LPOE to meet the required space standards and increased security requirements of the CBP. This alternative would move the majority of the LPOE improvements and operations to a 15-acre site southeast of the existing site between 4th Street and Rainy River. Passenger vehicles, buses, and pedestrians would enter and exit the LPOE on Highway 53 and 2nd Street. Commercial vehicles would enter and exit the LPOE on Highway 11. Passenger vehicles, buses, and pedestrians would enter and exit the LPOE at 2nd Avenue after passing through the central business district. Commercial vehicles would enter and exit the LPOE from Route 11 reducing traffic and noise in the central business district. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would increase vehicle and pedestrian processing efficiency and capacity, reduce traffic queues and delays, minimize conflict points among different types of traffic crossing the border, add a functional secondary inspection area for commercial vehicles, and accommodate future demands and new safety and security technologies and border initiatives. Alternative 10 would also reduce the overall growth in travel demand along Highway 11. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would require the acquisition and conversion of approximately 15 acres of industrial property to government use and could result in direct impact to the Rainy River and its floodplain through the construction of piers supporting an access road at its closest point to the river. All the build alternatives would affect surface waters through increased stormwater runoff.

I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The study area extends five miles from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The current bridge crossing has become congested and provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion and the existing draw bridge hampers both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. The area under the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included a No Build Alternative and four multi-modal build alternatives that would either replace or rehabilitate the existing river crossing, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities, consider tolling, and implement transportation demand and system management measures. In July 2008, the project sponsors adopted the locally preferred alternative (LPA) as a refined version of Alternative 3, which includes the following transportation improvements: a new river crossing and associated I-5 highway improvements, including seven interchanges, north and south of the river; a variety of bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the project corridor; extension of light rail transit from the Expo Center in Portland to Clark College in Vancouver, and associated transit improvements, including transit stations, park and rides, bus route changes, and expansion of a light rail transit maintenance facility; a new toll on motorists using the river crossing as both a financing and demand management tool; and transportation demand and system management measures to be implemented with the project. Capital cost of implementing the LPA is estimated in year-of-expenditure dollars at $3.4 to $3.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would vastly improve automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation options between the two cities, as well as enhance the movement of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail during an earthquake. Significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion and the presence of rapid transit options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way development would result in 69 commercial and 59 residential displacements. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places and four acres of park and recreation resources would be affected. Traffic-generated and transit-generated noise would impact 325 and 31 receptors, respectively. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would vastly improve automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation options between the two cities, as well as enhance the movement of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail during an earthquake. Significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion and the presence of rapid transit options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way development would result in 69 commercial and 59 residential displacements. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places and four acres of park and recreation resources would be affected. Traffic-generated and transit-generated noise would impact 325 and 31 receptors, respectively. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

AN - 909287627; 15082-4_0041 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The study area extends five miles from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The current bridge crossing has become congested and provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion and the existing draw bridge hampers both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. The area under the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included a No Build Alternative and four multi-modal build alternatives that would either replace or rehabilitate the existing river crossing, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities, consider tolling, and implement transportation demand and system management measures.

[Part 36 of 49] T2 - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. AN - 909287622; 15082-4_0036 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The study area extends five miles from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The current bridge crossing has become congested and provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion and the existing draw bridge hampers both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. The area under the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included a No Build Alternative and four multi-modal build alternatives that would either replace or rehabilitate the existing river crossing, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities, consider tolling, and implement transportation demand and system management measures. In July 2008, the project sponsors adopted the locally preferred alternative (LPA) as a refined version of Alternative 3, which includes the following transportation improvements: a new river crossing and associated I-5 highway improvements, including seven interchanges, north and south of the river; a variety of bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the project corridor; extension of light rail transit from the Expo Center in Portland to Clark College in Vancouver, and associated transit improvements, including transit stations, park and rides, bus route changes, and expansion of a light rail transit maintenance facility; a new toll on motorists using the river crossing as both a financing and demand management tool; and transportation demand and system management measures to be implemented with the project. Capital cost of implementing the LPA is estimated in year-of-expenditure dollars at $3.4 to $3.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would vastly improve automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation options between the two cities, as well as enhance the movement of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail during an earthquake. Significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion and the presence of rapid transit options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way development would result in 69 commercial and 59 residential displacements. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places and four acres of park and recreation resources would be affected. Traffic-generated and transit-generated noise would impact 325 and 31 receptors, respectively. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

[Part 31 of 49] T2 - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. AN - 909287613; 15082-4_0031 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The study area extends five miles from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The current bridge crossing has become congested and provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion and the existing draw bridge hampers both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. The area under the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included a No Build Alternative and four multi-modal build alternatives that would either replace or rehabilitate the existing river crossing, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities, consider tolling, and implement transportation demand and system management measures. In July 2008, the project sponsors adopted the locally preferred alternative (LPA) as a refined version of Alternative 3, which includes the following transportation improvements: a new river crossing and associated I-5 highway improvements, including seven interchanges, north and south of the river; a variety of bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the project corridor; extension of light rail transit from the Expo Center in Portland to Clark College in Vancouver, and associated transit improvements, including transit stations, park and rides, bus route changes, and expansion of a light rail transit maintenance facility; a new toll on motorists using the river crossing as both a financing and demand management tool; and transportation demand and system management measures to be implemented with the project. Capital cost of implementing the LPA is estimated in year-of-expenditure dollars at $3.4 to $3.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would vastly improve automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation options between the two cities, as well as enhance the movement of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail during an earthquake. Significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion and the presence of rapid transit options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way development would result in 69 commercial and 59 residential displacements. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places and four acres of park and recreation resources would be affected. Traffic-generated and transit-generated noise would impact 325 and 31 receptors, respectively. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

[Part 25 of 49] T2 - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. AN - 909287605; 15082-4_0025 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The study area extends five miles from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The current bridge crossing has become congested and provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion and the existing draw bridge hampers both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. The area under the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included a No Build Alternative and four multi-modal build alternatives that would either replace or rehabilitate the existing river crossing, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities, consider tolling, and implement transportation demand and system management measures. In July 2008, the project sponsors adopted the locally preferred alternative (LPA) as a refined version of Alternative 3, which includes the following transportation improvements: a new river crossing and associated I-5 highway improvements, including seven interchanges, north and south of the river; a variety of bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the project corridor; extension of light rail transit from the Expo Center in Portland to Clark College in Vancouver, and associated transit improvements, including transit stations, park and rides, bus route changes, and expansion of a light rail transit maintenance facility; a new toll on motorists using the river crossing as both a financing and demand management tool; and transportation demand and system management measures to be implemented with the project. Capital cost of implementing the LPA is estimated in year-of-expenditure dollars at $3.4 to $3.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would vastly improve automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation options between the two cities, as well as enhance the movement of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail during an earthquake. Significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion and the presence of rapid transit options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way development would result in 69 commercial and 59 residential displacements. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places and four acres of park and recreation resources would be affected. Traffic-generated and transit-generated noise would impact 325 and 31 receptors, respectively. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

[Part 20 of 49] T2 - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. AN - 909287578; 15082-4_0020 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The study area extends five miles from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The current bridge crossing has become congested and provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion and the existing draw bridge hampers both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. The area under the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included a No Build Alternative and four multi-modal build alternatives that would either replace or rehabilitate the existing river crossing, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities, consider tolling, and implement transportation demand and system management measures. In July 2008, the project sponsors adopted the locally preferred alternative (LPA) as a refined version of Alternative 3, which includes the following transportation improvements: a new river crossing and associated I-5 highway improvements, including seven interchanges, north and south of the river; a variety of bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the project corridor; extension of light rail transit from the Expo Center in Portland to Clark College in Vancouver, and associated transit improvements, including transit stations, park and rides, bus route changes, and expansion of a light rail transit maintenance facility; a new toll on motorists using the river crossing as both a financing and demand management tool; and transportation demand and system management measures to be implemented with the project. Capital cost of implementing the LPA is estimated in year-of-expenditure dollars at $3.4 to $3.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would vastly improve automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation options between the two cities, as well as enhance the movement of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail during an earthquake. Significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion and the presence of rapid transit options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way development would result in 69 commercial and 59 residential displacements. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places and four acres of park and recreation resources would be affected. Traffic-generated and transit-generated noise would impact 325 and 31 receptors, respectively. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

[Part 14 of 49] T2 - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. AN - 909287046; 15082-4_0014 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The study area extends five miles from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The current bridge crossing has become congested and provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion and the existing draw bridge hampers both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. The area under the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included a No Build Alternative and four multi-modal build alternatives that would either replace or rehabilitate the existing river crossing, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities, consider tolling, and implement transportation demand and system management measures. In July 2008, the project sponsors adopted the locally preferred alternative (LPA) as a refined version of Alternative 3, which includes the following transportation improvements: a new river crossing and associated I-5 highway improvements, including seven interchanges, north and south of the river; a variety of bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the project corridor; extension of light rail transit from the Expo Center in Portland to Clark College in Vancouver, and associated transit improvements, including transit stations, park and rides, bus route changes, and expansion of a light rail transit maintenance facility; a new toll on motorists using the river crossing as both a financing and demand management tool; and transportation demand and system management measures to be implemented with the project. Capital cost of implementing the LPA is estimated in year-of-expenditure dollars at $3.4 to $3.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would vastly improve automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation options between the two cities, as well as enhance the movement of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail during an earthquake. Significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion and the presence of rapid transit options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way development would result in 69 commercial and 59 residential displacements. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places and four acres of park and recreation resources would be affected. Traffic-generated and transit-generated noise would impact 325 and 31 receptors, respectively. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

[Part 4 of 49] T2 - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. AN - 909286971; 15082-4_0004 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The study area extends five miles from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The current bridge crossing has become congested and provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion and the existing draw bridge hampers both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. The area under the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included a No Build Alternative and four multi-modal build alternatives that would either replace or rehabilitate the existing river crossing, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities, consider tolling, and implement transportation demand and system management measures. In July 2008, the project sponsors adopted the locally preferred alternative (LPA) as a refined version of Alternative 3, which includes the following transportation improvements: a new river crossing and associated I-5 highway improvements, including seven interchanges, north and south of the river; a variety of bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the project corridor; extension of light rail transit from the Expo Center in Portland to Clark College in Vancouver, and associated transit improvements, including transit stations, park and rides, bus route changes, and expansion of a light rail transit maintenance facility; a new toll on motorists using the river crossing as both a financing and demand management tool; and transportation demand and system management measures to be implemented with the project. Capital cost of implementing the LPA is estimated in year-of-expenditure dollars at $3.4 to $3.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would vastly improve automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation options between the two cities, as well as enhance the movement of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail during an earthquake. Significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion and the presence of rapid transit options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way development would result in 69 commercial and 59 residential displacements. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places and four acres of park and recreation resources would be affected. Traffic-generated and transit-generated noise would impact 325 and 31 receptors, respectively. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

[Part 6 of 49] T2 - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. AN - 909285649; 15082-4_0006 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The study area extends five miles from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The current bridge crossing has become congested and provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion and the existing draw bridge hampers both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. The area under the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included a No Build Alternative and four multi-modal build alternatives that would either replace or rehabilitate the existing river crossing, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities, consider tolling, and implement transportation demand and system management measures. In July 2008, the project sponsors adopted the locally preferred alternative (LPA) as a refined version of Alternative 3, which includes the following transportation improvements: a new river crossing and associated I-5 highway improvements, including seven interchanges, north and south of the river; a variety of bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the project corridor; extension of light rail transit from the Expo Center in Portland to Clark College in Vancouver, and associated transit improvements, including transit stations, park and rides, bus route changes, and expansion of a light rail transit maintenance facility; a new toll on motorists using the river crossing as both a financing and demand management tool; and transportation demand and system management measures to be implemented with the project. Capital cost of implementing the LPA is estimated in year-of-expenditure dollars at $3.4 to $3.8 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would vastly improve automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation options between the two cities, as well as enhance the movement of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail during an earthquake. Significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion and the presence of rapid transit options. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way development would result in 69 commercial and 59 residential displacements. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places and four acres of park and recreation resources would be affected. Traffic-generated and transit-generated noise would impact 325 and 31 receptors, respectively. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - EXPANSION AND RECONFIGURATION OF THE LAND PORT OF ENTRY IN DOWNTOWN CALEXICO, CALIFORNIA. AN - 876244369; 14934-3_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The reconfiguration and expansion of the existing land port of entry (LPOE) in the border city of Calexico, approximately 120 miles east of San Diego in the Imperial Valley of California is proposed. Directly adjacent to the LPOE on the Mexican side of the border is the city of Mexicali, Baja California. The current LPOE facilities, constructed in 1974, cover 102,040 square feet on the southern edge of the Calexico downtown area and are dedicated to privately-owned vehicle (POV), bicycle, and pedestrian inspections. Buses are processed only between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Current facilities include a main building, historic customs house, and a decommissioned commercial inspection building. On an average day in 2004, more than 16,000 POVs and 18,000 pedestrians entered the United States through Calexico West LPOE. The existing facilities are undersized relative to existing traffic loads and obsolete in terms of inspection officer safety and border security. Workspace is too small to accommodate additional staff, systems, and equipment required at the facility following the events of September 11, 2001. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are presented in this final EIS. Alternative A would involve construction of new pedestrian and POV inspection facilities and expansion of the port onto the site of the former commercial inspection facility whose operations moved to Calexico East in 1996. A new headhouse, 16 northbound primary inspection lanes and space for up to 32 cars in the secondary inspection areas would be included. The southbound vehicle primary inspection area would include eight lanes. To accommodate southbound POV traffic, a platform would be constructed atop a new culvert containing the channel of the New River. Under Alternative B, which is the proposed action and the preferred alternative, facilities would be expanded similar to Alternative A, but with only five southbound lanes. The New River would not be covered. The project would be constructed in two-phases with the first phase providing for northbound throughput, adding 10 new lanes in addition to use of existing lanes. Primary and secondary inspection facilities would be included in this phase. Southbound traffic would be accommodated with three new lanes. Phase 1 would be constructed to the west of the existing port of entry and east of the New River. The second phase would demolish existing inspection facilities, construct administration and pedestrian facilities, and add six additional northbound inspection lanes. The project would provide 205,000 gross square feet of office and inspection area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would reduce traffic congestion and provide the LPOE with adequate operational space and a safe environment for employees and visitors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would increase impervious surface area by three acres and require acquisition of two land parcels. Electrical use and gas use would increase by 14 percent. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

[Part 10 of 13] T2 - DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY NEBRASKA AVENUE COMPLEX MASTER PLAN, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 873127223; 14765-9_0010 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption and implementation of a master plan for the development of a cohesive campus for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the Nebraska Avenue Complex (NAC) in Northwest Washington, District of Columbia are proposed. The NAC is a 37.4-acre site located within a largely residential section and is adjacent to Glover-Archbold Park, the Gatesly House, the Washington bureau of NBC Television, and American University. The site is less than 0.75 miles from the Tenleytown-AU Metrorail Station. The NAC site is significant in the areas of education and military history and has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register as a historic district. Fourteen of the existing structures are considered contributing to at least one of the two periods of significance associated with the Mount Vernon Seminary for Girls (1916 to 1942) and the U.S. Navy cryptanalysis period (1943 to 1952). Over the past six years, various DHS components have been relocated to the NAC site as the department consolidates, placing strain on the nearly 100-year old installation. The current DHS population at the NAC is 2,390 seats and the master plan will determine how best to accommodate additional employees on site through the construction of new buildings and renovation of existing buildings. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative, operation of existing facilities comprising 650,000 gross square feet would continue and DHS would continue to seek a permanent location for additional employees not currently accommodated at the NAC. Alternative A would involve low density development of the site to house 3,700 seats with existing buildings and new construction totaling 1.1 million gross square feet. New construction would include an architectural parking structure and a signature landscape adjacent to Ward Circle that would create a visible building mass along Ward Circle. In addition, there would be an observable presence from this corner. This alternative would feature 1,025 parking spaces. Under Alternative B, mid-density development would house 4,200 seats with existing buildings and new construction totaling 1.2 million gross square feet. A new building would be constructed adjacent to Ward Circle and a signature landscape would complement the design of the new building. This alternative would also allow for significant open space in an area that historically contained terraced sport courts. This alternative would feature 1,150 parking spaces. High-Density Development under Alternative C would house 4,500 seats. Existing buildings and new construction would total 1.3 million gross square feet and a parking garage with a green roof would be located adjacent to Ward Circle. The garage would be recessed into the ground so that the vegetated roof, and not the building, would be visible from Ward Circle to minimize the urban presence of the campus from this corner. This alternative would feature 1,225 parking spaces. Alternatives A and C would feature three entrances to the site: two from Nebraska Avenue and one from Massachusetts Avenue. Under Alternative B, there would be one entrance from Nebraska Avenue and one entrance from Massachusetts Avenue. There would also be an exit-only driveway on Nebraska Avenue directly north of the Gatesly house. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The master plan would meet the objectives of the DHS National Capital Region Housing Master Plan which proposes to consolidate over 28,000 DHS employees currently housed at more than 40 locations into approximately 7 to 10 locations. The plan would guide future renovation and development of a cohesive campus and encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of the NACs historic landscape and buildings. Long-term, beneficial impacts on stormwater control on the site and within the local area would occur. Impervious surface cover would be reduced under each alternative through the introduction of additional open space and landscaping, the consolidation of surface parking into a parking structure, the installation of green roofs, and the use of pervious materials for pathways. Beneficial impacts to views along Nebraska Avenue, NW, at Ward Circle, and along Massachusetts Avenue, NW would occur. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would result in minor long-term impact on local and regional air quality. Minor adverse impacts on soils would occur. Under Alternative C, long-term, minor adverse traffic impacts on the intersection of Ward Circle and Massachusetts Avenue during peak hours would occur. Adverse impacts to historic resources would be moderate due to the removal of one contributing building, with beneficial impacts from the preservation and rehabilitation of some contributing landscape features. There would be minor adverse impact on views from Glover-Archbold Park. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

[Part 8 of 13] T2 - DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY NEBRASKA AVENUE COMPLEX MASTER PLAN, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 873127219; 14765-9_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption and implementation of a master plan for the development of a cohesive campus for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the Nebraska Avenue Complex (NAC) in Northwest Washington, District of Columbia are proposed. The NAC is a 37.4-acre site located within a largely residential section and is adjacent to Glover-Archbold Park, the Gatesly House, the Washington bureau of NBC Television, and American University. The site is less than 0.75 miles from the Tenleytown-AU Metrorail Station. The NAC site is significant in the areas of education and military history and has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register as a historic district. Fourteen of the existing structures are considered contributing to at least one of the two periods of significance associated with the Mount Vernon Seminary for Girls (1916 to 1942) and the U.S. Navy cryptanalysis period (1943 to 1952). Over the past six years, various DHS components have been relocated to the NAC site as the department consolidates, placing strain on the nearly 100-year old installation. The current DHS population at the NAC is 2,390 seats and the master plan will determine how best to accommodate additional employees on site through the construction of new buildings and renovation of existing buildings. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative, operation of existing facilities comprising 650,000 gross square feet would continue and DHS would continue to seek a permanent location for additional employees not currently accommodated at the NAC. Alternative A would involve low density development of the site to house 3,700 seats with existing buildings and new construction totaling 1.1 million gross square feet. New construction would include an architectural parking structure and a signature landscape adjacent to Ward Circle that would create a visible building mass along Ward Circle. In addition, there would be an observable presence from this corner. This alternative would feature 1,025 parking spaces. Under Alternative B, mid-density development would house 4,200 seats with existing buildings and new construction totaling 1.2 million gross square feet. A new building would be constructed adjacent to Ward Circle and a signature landscape would complement the design of the new building. This alternative would also allow for significant open space in an area that historically contained terraced sport courts. This alternative would feature 1,150 parking spaces. High-Density Development under Alternative C would house 4,500 seats. Existing buildings and new construction would total 1.3 million gross square feet and a parking garage with a green roof would be located adjacent to Ward Circle. The garage would be recessed into the ground so that the vegetated roof, and not the building, would be visible from Ward Circle to minimize the urban presence of the campus from this corner. This alternative would feature 1,225 parking spaces. Alternatives A and C would feature three entrances to the site: two from Nebraska Avenue and one from Massachusetts Avenue. Under Alternative B, there would be one entrance from Nebraska Avenue and one entrance from Massachusetts Avenue. There would also be an exit-only driveway on Nebraska Avenue directly north of the Gatesly house. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The master plan would meet the objectives of the DHS National Capital Region Housing Master Plan which proposes to consolidate over 28,000 DHS employees currently housed at more than 40 locations into approximately 7 to 10 locations. The plan would guide future renovation and development of a cohesive campus and encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of the NACs historic landscape and buildings. Long-term, beneficial impacts on stormwater control on the site and within the local area would occur. Impervious surface cover would be reduced under each alternative through the introduction of additional open space and landscaping, the consolidation of surface parking into a parking structure, the installation of green roofs, and the use of pervious materials for pathways. Beneficial impacts to views along Nebraska Avenue, NW, at Ward Circle, and along Massachusetts Avenue, NW would occur. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would result in minor long-term impact on local and regional air quality. Minor adverse impacts on soils would occur. Under Alternative C, long-term, minor adverse traffic impacts on the intersection of Ward Circle and Massachusetts Avenue during peak hours would occur. Adverse impacts to historic resources would be moderate due to the removal of one contributing building, with beneficial impacts from the preservation and rehabilitation of some contributing landscape features. There would be minor adverse impact on views from Glover-Archbold Park. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

Impervious surface cover would be reduced under each alternative through the introduction of additional open space and landscaping, the consolidation of surface parking into a parking structure, the installation of green roofs, and the use of pervious materials for pathways. Beneficial impacts to views along Nebraska Avenue, NW, at Ward Circle, and along Massachusetts Avenue, NW would occur. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would result in minor long-term impact on local and regional air quality. Minor adverse impacts on soils would occur. Under Alternative C, long-term, minor adverse traffic impacts on the intersection of Ward Circle and Massachusetts Avenue during peak hours would occur. Adverse impacts to historic resources would be moderate due to the removal of one contributing building, with beneficial impacts from the preservation and rehabilitation of some contributing landscape features.

AN - 873127106; 14765-9_0011 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption and implementation of a master plan for the development of a cohesive campus for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the Nebraska Avenue Complex (NAC) in Northwest Washington, District of Columbia are proposed. The NAC is a 37.4-acre site located within a largely residential section and is adjacent to Glover-Archbold Park, the Gatesly House, the Washington bureau of NBC Television, and American University. The site is less than 0.75 miles from the Tenleytown-AU Metrorail Station. The NAC site is significant in the areas of education and military history and has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register as a historic district. Fourteen of the existing structures are considered contributing to at least one of the two periods of significance associated with the Mount Vernon Seminary for Girls (1916 to 1942) and the U.S. Navy cryptanalysis period (1943 to 1952). Over the past six years, various DHS components have been relocated to the NAC site as the department consolidates, placing strain on the nearly 100-year old installation. The current DHS population at the NAC is 2,390 seats and the master plan will determine how best to accommodate additional employees on site through the construction of new buildings and renovation of existing buildings. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative, operation of existing facilities comprising 650,000 gross square feet would continue and DHS would continue to seek a permanent location for additional employees not currently accommodated at the NAC. Alternative A would involve low density development of the site to house 3,700 seats with existing buildings and new construction totaling 1.1 million gross square feet. New construction would include an architectural parking structure and a signature landscape adjacent to Ward Circle that would create a visible building mass along Ward Circle. In addition, there would be an observable presence from this corner. This alternative would feature 1,025 parking spaces. Under Alternative B, mid-density development would house 4,200 seats with existing buildings and new construction totaling 1.2 million gross square feet. A new building would be constructed adjacent to Ward Circle and a signature landscape would complement the design of the new building. This alternative would also allow for significant open space in an area that historically contained terraced sport courts. This alternative would feature 1,150 parking spaces. High-Density Development under Alternative C would house 4,500 seats. Existing buildings and new construction would total 1.3 million gross square feet and a parking garage with a green roof would be located adjacent to Ward Circle. The garage would be recessed into the ground so that the vegetated roof, and not the building, would be visible from Ward Circle to minimize the urban presence of the campus from this corner. This alternative would feature 1,225 parking spaces. Alternatives A and C would feature three entrances to the site: two from Nebraska Avenue and one from Massachusetts Avenue. Under Alternative B, there would be one entrance from Nebraska Avenue and one entrance from Massachusetts Avenue. There would also be an exit-only driveway on Nebraska Avenue directly north of the Gatesly house. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The master plan would meet the objectives of the DHS National Capital Region Housing Master Plan which proposes to consolidate over 28,000 DHS employees currently housed at more than 40 locations into approximately 7 to 10 locations. The plan would guide future renovation and development of a cohesive campus and encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of the NACs historic landscape and buildings. Long-term, beneficial impacts on stormwater control on the site and within the local area would occur. Impervious surface cover would be reduced under each alternative through the introduction of additional open space and landscaping, the consolidation of surface parking into a parking structure, the installation of green roofs, and the use of pervious materials for pathways. Beneficial impacts to views along Nebraska Avenue, NW, at Ward Circle, and along Massachusetts Avenue, NW would occur.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The master plan would meet the objectives of the DHS National Capital Region Housing Master Plan which proposes to consolidate over 28,000 DHS employees currently housed at more than 40 locations into approximately 7 to 10 locations. The plan would guide future renovation and development of a cohesive campus and encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of the NACs historic landscape and buildings. Long-term, beneficial impacts on stormwater control on the site and within the local area would occur. Impervious surface cover would be reduced under each alternative through the introduction of additional open space and landscaping, the consolidation of surface parking into a parking structure, the installation of green roofs, and the use of pervious materials for pathways. Beneficial impacts to views along Nebraska Avenue, NW, at Ward Circle, and along Massachusetts Avenue, NW would occur. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would result in minor long-term impact on local and regional air quality. Minor adverse impacts on soils would occur. Under Alternative C, long-term, minor adverse traffic impacts on the intersection of Ward Circle and Massachusetts Avenue during peak hours would occur. Adverse impacts to historic resources would be moderate due to the removal of one contributing building, with beneficial impacts from the preservation and rehabilitation of some contributing landscape features. There would be minor adverse impact on views from Glover-Archbold Park. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

[Part 6 of 13] T2 - DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY NEBRASKA AVENUE COMPLEX MASTER PLAN, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 873126663; 14765-9_0006 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption and implementation of a master plan for the development of a cohesive campus for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the Nebraska Avenue Complex (NAC) in Northwest Washington, District of Columbia are proposed. The NAC is a 37.4-acre site located within a largely residential section and is adjacent to Glover-Archbold Park, the Gatesly House, the Washington bureau of NBC Television, and American University. The site is less than 0.75 miles from the Tenleytown-AU Metrorail Station. The NAC site is significant in the areas of education and military history and has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register as a historic district. Fourteen of the existing structures are considered contributing to at least one of the two periods of significance associated with the Mount Vernon Seminary for Girls (1916 to 1942) and the U.S. Navy cryptanalysis period (1943 to 1952). Over the past six years, various DHS components have been relocated to the NAC site as the department consolidates, placing strain on the nearly 100-year old installation. The current DHS population at the NAC is 2,390 seats and the master plan will determine how best to accommodate additional employees on site through the construction of new buildings and renovation of existing buildings. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the No Action Alternative, operation of existing facilities comprising 650,000 gross square feet would continue and DHS would continue to seek a permanent location for additional employees not currently accommodated at the NAC. Alternative A would involve low density development of the site to house 3,700 seats with existing buildings and new construction totaling 1.1 million gross square feet. New construction would include an architectural parking structure and a signature landscape adjacent to Ward Circle that would create a visible building mass along Ward Circle. In addition, there would be an observable presence from this corner. This alternative would feature 1,025 parking spaces. Under Alternative B, mid-density development would house 4,200 seats with existing buildings and new construction totaling 1.2 million gross square feet. A new building would be constructed adjacent to Ward Circle and a signature landscape would complement the design of the new building. This alternative would also allow for significant open space in an area that historically contained terraced sport courts. This alternative would feature 1,150 parking spaces. High-Density Development under Alternative C would house 4,500 seats. Existing buildings and new construction would total 1.3 million gross square feet and a parking garage with a green roof would be located adjacent to Ward Circle. The garage would be recessed into the ground so that the vegetated roof, and not the building, would be visible from Ward Circle to minimize the urban presence of the campus from this corner. This alternative would feature 1,225 parking spaces. Alternatives A and C would feature three entrances to the site: two from Nebraska Avenue and one from Massachusetts Avenue. Under Alternative B, there would be one entrance from Nebraska Avenue and one entrance from Massachusetts Avenue. There would also be an exit-only driveway on Nebraska Avenue directly north of the Gatesly house. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The master plan would meet the objectives of the DHS National Capital Region Housing Master Plan which proposes to consolidate over 28,000 DHS employees currently housed at more than 40 locations into approximately 7 to 10 locations.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 873127384; 14740-0_0021 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of the consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters offices at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia by amending the 2008 Master Plan to construct and operate just over one million gross square feet (gsf) of development within the 32-acre East Campus North Parcel site is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gross square feet (gsf) of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated Headquarters and concluded that St. Elizabeths, a National Historic Landmark and former government-run hospital for the insane, was the most viable site for this consolidation. The original plan to use only the West Campus triggered concerns about the density of development that would occur. After discussions with the District of Columbia, a November 2008 Final EIS on the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan for the Consolidated Headquarters of the DHS assessed an alternative that would place development on both campuses. The subsequent Record of Decision selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of secure office and shared-use space on the St. Elizabeths West Campus and assessed the impacts of constructing 750,000 gsf of office space, plus associated parking, on the St. Elizabeths East Campus at a programmatic level. In addition to a No Action Alternative, this Master Plan Amendment draft EIS analyzes three action alternatives for the East Campus North Parcel: Alternative A (East West Bars), Alternative B (Campus Reflection), and Alternative C (Atrium). In addition, the General Services Administration (GSA) is reevaluating transportation improvements required for the DHS consolidation that were considered in the 2008 Final Master Plan EIS. Two alternatives (1 and 2) for the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and proposed West Campus Access Road, Firth Sterling Avenue/West Campus Access Road intersection, widening of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue, and needed transportation improvements to support the East Campus development are considered. The headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff. Occupation would occur by 2014. The new DHS/FEMA headquarters buildings would likely be five to seven stories above the current ground surface on the western side of the North Parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for approximately 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West Campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completion of the consolidation of DHS Headquarters activities with a highly advantageous location, would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. Now disparate agencies and offices within agencies would be gathered into one well coordinated built-to-purpose facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduction of pollutants into surface water, and long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. Archaeological resource sites would also be disturbed or destroyed. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site would disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology and quality. Long-term adverse impacts to transportation would occur. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 873127372; 14740-0_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of the consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters offices at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia by amending the 2008 Master Plan to construct and operate just over one million gross square feet (gsf) of development within the 32-acre East Campus North Parcel site is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gross square feet (gsf) of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated Headquarters and concluded that St. Elizabeths, a National Historic Landmark and former government-run hospital for the insane, was the most viable site for this consolidation. The original plan to use only the West Campus triggered concerns about the density of development that would occur. After discussions with the District of Columbia, a November 2008 Final EIS on the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan for the Consolidated Headquarters of the DHS assessed an alternative that would place development on both campuses. The subsequent Record of Decision selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of secure office and shared-use space on the St. Elizabeths West Campus and assessed the impacts of constructing 750,000 gsf of office space, plus associated parking, on the St. Elizabeths East Campus at a programmatic level. In addition to a No Action Alternative, this Master Plan Amendment draft EIS analyzes three action alternatives for the East Campus North Parcel: Alternative A (East West Bars), Alternative B (Campus Reflection), and Alternative C (Atrium). In addition, the General Services Administration (GSA) is reevaluating transportation improvements required for the DHS consolidation that were considered in the 2008 Final Master Plan EIS. Two alternatives (1 and 2) for the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and proposed West Campus Access Road, Firth Sterling Avenue/West Campus Access Road intersection, widening of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue, and needed transportation improvements to support the East Campus development are considered. The headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff. Occupation would occur by 2014. The new DHS/FEMA headquarters buildings would likely be five to seven stories above the current ground surface on the western side of the North Parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for approximately 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West Campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completion of the consolidation of DHS Headquarters activities with a highly advantageous location, would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. Now disparate agencies and offices within agencies would be gathered into one well coordinated built-to-purpose facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduction of pollutants into surface water, and long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. Archaeological resource sites would also be disturbed or destroyed. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site would disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology and quality.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 873127346; 14740-0_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of the consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters offices at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia by amending the 2008 Master Plan to construct and operate just over one million gross square feet (gsf) of development within the 32-acre East Campus North Parcel site is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gross square feet (gsf) of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated Headquarters and concluded that St. Elizabeths, a National Historic Landmark and former government-run hospital for the insane, was the most viable site for this consolidation. The original plan to use only the West Campus triggered concerns about the density of development that would occur. After discussions with the District of Columbia, a November 2008 Final EIS on the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan for the Consolidated Headquarters of the DHS assessed an alternative that would place development on both campuses. The subsequent Record of Decision selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of secure office and shared-use space on the St. Elizabeths West Campus and assessed the impacts of constructing 750,000 gsf of office space, plus associated parking, on the St. Elizabeths East Campus at a programmatic level. In addition to a No Action Alternative, this Master Plan Amendment draft EIS analyzes three action alternatives for the East Campus North Parcel: Alternative A (East West Bars), Alternative B (Campus Reflection), and Alternative C (Atrium). In addition, the General Services Administration (GSA) is reevaluating transportation improvements required for the DHS consolidation that were considered in the 2008 Final Master Plan EIS. Two alternatives (1 and 2) for the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and proposed West Campus Access Road, Firth Sterling Avenue/West Campus Access Road intersection, widening of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue, and needed transportation improvements to support the East Campus development are considered. The headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff. Occupation would occur by 2014. The new DHS/FEMA headquarters buildings would likely be five to seven stories above the current ground surface on the western side of the North Parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for approximately 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West Campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completion of the consolidation of DHS Headquarters activities with a highly advantageous location, would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. Now disparate agencies and offices within agencies would be gathered into one well coordinated built-to-purpose facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduction of pollutants into surface water, and long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. Archaeological resource sites would also be disturbed or destroyed. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site would disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology and quality.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 873127218; 14740-0_0016 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of the consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters offices at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia by amending the 2008 Master Plan to construct and operate just over one million gross square feet (gsf) of development within the 32-acre East Campus North Parcel site is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gross square feet (gsf) of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated Headquarters and concluded that St. Elizabeths, a National Historic Landmark and former government-run hospital for the insane, was the most viable site for this consolidation. The original plan to use only the West Campus triggered concerns about the density of development that would occur. After discussions with the District of Columbia, a November 2008 Final EIS on the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan for the Consolidated Headquarters of the DHS assessed an alternative that would place development on both campuses. The subsequent Record of Decision selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of secure office and shared-use space on the St. Elizabeths West Campus and assessed the impacts of constructing 750,000 gsf of office space, plus associated parking, on the St. Elizabeths East Campus at a programmatic level. In addition to a No Action Alternative, this Master Plan Amendment draft EIS analyzes three action alternatives for the East Campus North Parcel: Alternative A (East West Bars), Alternative B (Campus Reflection), and Alternative C (Atrium). In addition, the General Services Administration (GSA) is reevaluating transportation improvements required for the DHS consolidation that were considered in the 2008 Final Master Plan EIS. Two alternatives (1 and 2) for the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and proposed West Campus Access Road, Firth Sterling Avenue/West Campus Access Road intersection, widening of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue, and needed transportation improvements to support the East Campus development are considered. The headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff. Occupation would occur by 2014. The new DHS/FEMA headquarters buildings would likely be five to seven stories above the current ground surface on the western side of the North Parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for approximately 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West Campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completion of the consolidation of DHS Headquarters activities with a highly advantageous location, would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. Now disparate agencies and offices within agencies would be gathered into one well coordinated built-to-purpose facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduction of pollutants into surface water, and long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. Archaeological resource sites would also be disturbed or destroyed. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site would disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology and quality.

ELIZABETHS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT - EAST CAMPUS NORTH PARCEL, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 873126786; 14740-0_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of the consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters offices at St. Elizabeths in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia by amending the 2008 Master Plan to construct and operate just over one million gross square feet (gsf) of development within the 32-acre East Campus North Parcel site is proposed. DHS previously identified the need to provide 4.5 million gross square feet (gsf) of secure office space, plus parking, for its consolidated Headquarters and concluded that St. Elizabeths, a National Historic Landmark and former government-run hospital for the insane, was the most viable site for this consolidation. The original plan to use only the West Campus triggered concerns about the density of development that would occur. After discussions with the District of Columbia, a November 2008 Final EIS on the St. Elizabeths Campus Master Plan for the Consolidated Headquarters of the DHS assessed an alternative that would place development on both campuses. The subsequent Record of Decision selected the alternative that would consolidate 3.8 million gsf of secure office and shared-use space on the St. Elizabeths West Campus and assessed the impacts of constructing 750,000 gsf of office space, plus associated parking, on the St. Elizabeths East Campus at a programmatic level. In addition to a No Action Alternative, this Master Plan Amendment draft EIS analyzes three action alternatives for the East Campus North Parcel: Alternative A (East West Bars), Alternative B (Campus Reflection), and Alternative C (Atrium). In addition, the General Services Administration (GSA) is reevaluating transportation improvements required for the DHS consolidation that were considered in the 2008 Final Master Plan EIS. Two alternatives (1 and 2) for the Interstate 295/Malcolm X Avenue interchange and proposed West Campus Access Road, Firth Sterling Avenue/West Campus Access Road intersection, widening of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue, and needed transportation improvements to support the East Campus development are considered. The headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a DHS component agency, would be located on the North Parcel to house 3,089 FEMA headquarters staff. Occupation would occur by 2014. The new DHS/FEMA headquarters buildings would likely be five to seven stories above the current ground surface on the western side of the North Parcel. Development of the North Parcel would also include: a parking garage for approximately 775 vehicles; sidewalks and surface parking; a tunnel under MLK Avenue linking the East and West Campuses; a secure perimeter fence; VIP access and parking; shipping/receiving dock; shuttle bus hub; electric power, communications, and other utility corridors; realignment of site drainages and landscaping; and transportation improvements to support East Campus North Parcel development. Existing structures would be retained, relocated, or demolished. The Dix Pavilion would be demolished to prepare the site for the FEMA facility. The existing Veterans Shelter would be demolished and its operations would be relocated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Completion of the consolidation of DHS Headquarters activities with a highly advantageous location, would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. Now disparate agencies and offices within agencies would be gathered into one well coordinated built-to-purpose facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing, grading, and removal of vegetation would cause erosion, introduction of pollutants into surface water, and long-term impacts on landscapes and historic buildings. Archaeological resource sites would also be disturbed or destroyed. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site would disturb wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology and quality.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - STATE ROUTE 11 AND THE OTAY MESA EAST PORT OF ENTRY, CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA (TIER II ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 873126252; 14728-8_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of State Route (SR) 11 and a new Otay Mesa East Port of Entry (POE) and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility (CVEF) at the U.S.- Mexico international border in the unincorporated community of East Otay Mesa, San Diego County, California is proposed. Capacities of the existing POEs in the region are currently being exceeded and transportation and land use planning agencies on both sides of the border have identified the longer-term need for a third border crossing and associated transportation facilities in the San Diego/Tijuana area. The proposed facilities are being studied under a two-tier process and a 2008 Tier I final EIS identified the preferred location for the facilities; a conditional Presidential Permit for the project was granted by the U.S. State Department in November 2008. Three build alternatives, with several design/operational variations, as well as a No Build Alternative are evaluated in this draft EIS. Under each of the build alternatives, SR-11 would be constructed as a 2.1-mile, four-lane toll highway, with two lanes in each direction, plus auxiliary lanes and connectors. It would extend east from the vicinity of Harvest Road (near the future SR-125/SR-905 interchange currently under construction) for 1.5 miles, before curving to the southeast near Alta Road and continuing for 0.6 mile to connect with the POE/CVEF site. To link SR-11 to SR-905, it would be necessary to modify the approved design of the eastern portion of SR-905 that is currently under construction. SR-11 would be located midway between Otay Mesa Road and Airway Road for most of its length, and would cross four local surface streets: Sanyo Avenue, Enrico Fermi Drive, Alta Road, and Siempre Viva Road. Undercrossings, overcrossings or interchanges would be provided at each of these locations, depending on the project alternative. The proposed POE would occupy 106 acres, and would accommodate northbound and southbound commercial and passenger traffic, as well as pedestrians and bicycles. The POE site would be accessed from the north by SR-11. From the south, entry would be through the proposed Otay II POE on the Mexico side of the border. Facilities would likely include inspection lanes, booths and canopies, a commercial vehicle and cargo inspection system, commercial import inspection building and docks, bulk storage inspection bins, a bird quarantine building, a commercial truck impound lot and a seizure vault. Other non-commercial facilities would include the main building, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and a general parking lot. The proposed new CVEF, which would occupy 23 acres east of SR-11 along the northern POE boundary. After receiving clearance to enter the U.S. at the POE, northbound commercial vehicles would be routed into the CVEF facility for a safety/weight inspection prior to being released onto the regional roadway system. The CVEF design is expected to include a 7,900-square foot main building, commercial vehicle scales, and inspections bays. Without variations, the build alternatives would range in cost from $519 million for the No Interchange Alternative to $537 million for the Two Interchange Alternative. Implementation of the Siempre Viva Road full interchange variation with the Two Interchange Alternative would increase the cost of this alternative to $558 million. The SR-125 Connector variation or SR-905/SR-125/SR-11 full interchange variation would add an estimated $25 million or $46 million, respectively, to the cost of any of the build alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: New facilities would: increase inspection processing capacities and accommodate projected increases in international trade and personal cross-border travel in the San Diego/Tijuana region in a safe and secure manner; contribute to reductions in congestion at existing POEs; and accommodate commercial goods movement and cross-border travel to and from the Otay Mesa East POE. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would require conversion of 239.7 to 264.7 acres to transportation use, acquisition of 220.5 to 245.2 acres of land, cause direct impacts to 111.5 acres of San Diego fairy shrimp critical habitat and 4.2 acres of Quino checkerspot butterfly critical habitat. Operation of the new Otay Mesa East POE would result in cumulative traffic impacts to select freeway segments, roadway segments and intersections in the project study area and noise levels would exceed noise abatement criteria at one location with sensitive receptors. Just east of Sanyo Avenue, the project would construct up to 26-foot high retaining walls in close proximity to existing buildings, resulting in an adverse impact on the visual environment.

Just east of Sanyo Avenue, the project would construct up to 26-foot high retaining walls in close proximity to existing buildings, resulting in an adverse impact on the visual environment.

[Part 7 of 7] T2 - EXPANSION AND RECONFIGURATION OF THE LAND PORT OF ENTRY IN DOWNTOWN CALEXICO, CALIFORNIA. AN - 873132983; 14365-3_0007 AB - PURPOSE: The reconfiguration and expansion of the existing land port of entry (LPOE) located in the border city of Calexico, approximately 120 miles east of San Diego in the Imperial Valley of California is proposed. Directly adjacent to the LPOE on the Mexican side of the border is the city of Mexicali, Baja California. The site of the current LPOE facilities covers 102,040 square feet on the southern edge of the Calexico downtown area. The existing LPOE was constructed in 1974 and is dedicated to privately-owned vehicle (POV), bicycle, and pedestrian inspections. Buses are processed only between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. At other hours, buses are processed through the new LPOE five miles east of downtown Calexico. Commercial vehicles were diverted to the new Calexico East Border Station beginning in 1996. Current facilities include a main building, a historic customs house, and a decommissioned commercial inspection building. On an average day in 2004, more thanNB16,000 POVs and 18,000 pedestrians entered the United States through this LPOE. The existing facilities are undersized relative to existing traffic loads and obsolete in terms of inspection officer safety and border security. The space required for modern inspection technologies is not available. Workspace is too small to accommodate additional staff, systems, and equipment required at the facility following the events of September 11, 2001. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are presented in this draft EIS. Alternative A would involve creation of new pedestrian and POV inspection facilities and expansion of the port onto the site of the former commercial inspection facility. Primary POV inspection facilities would include 16 northbound booths and three southbound booths. There would be new administration space, a new headhouse, and 32 secondary inspection stations serving northbound and southbound traffic. A total of 240 surface parking stalls would be provided. Alternative B, which is the preferred alternative, would expand facilities similar to Alternative A, but the New River would not be covered. The project would be constructed in a two-phase approach with the first phase providing for northbound throughput, adding 10 new lanes in addition to use of existing lanes. Primary and secondary inspection facilities would be included in this phase. Southbound traffic would be accommodated with three new lanes. Phase 1 would be constructed to the west of the existing port of entry and east of the New River. The second phase would demolish existing inspection facilities and construct administration and pedestrian facilities in its place.NBThe project would provide 205,000 gross square feet of office and inspection area. Six additional northbound inspection lanes would also be added. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project would provide the port operation with adequate operational space, reduced traffic congestion, and a safe environment for port employees and visitors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would increase impervious surface area by three acres and require acquisition of two land parcels. Electrical use and gas use would increase by 14 percent. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

[Part 2 of 7] T2 - EXPANSION AND RECONFIGURATION OF THE LAND PORT OF ENTRY IN DOWNTOWN CALEXICO, CALIFORNIA. AN - 873129139; 14365-3_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The reconfiguration and expansion of the existing land port of entry (LPOE) located in the border city of Calexico, approximately 120 miles east of San Diego in the Imperial Valley of California is proposed. Directly adjacent to the LPOE on the Mexican side of the border is the city of Mexicali, Baja California. The site of the current LPOE facilities covers 102,040 square feet on the southern edge of the Calexico downtown area. The existing LPOE was constructed in 1974 and is dedicated to privately-owned vehicle (POV), bicycle, and pedestrian inspections. Buses are processed only between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. At other hours, buses are processed through the new LPOE five miles east of downtown Calexico. Commercial vehicles were diverted to the new Calexico East Border Station beginning in 1996. Current facilities include a main building, a historic customs house, and a decommissioned commercial inspection building. On an average day in 2004, more thanNB16,000 POVs and 18,000 pedestrians entered the United States through this LPOE. The existing facilities are undersized relative to existing traffic loads and obsolete in terms of inspection officer safety and border security. The space required for modern inspection technologies is not available. Workspace is too small to accommodate additional staff, systems, and equipment required at the facility following the events of September 11, 2001. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are presented in this draft EIS. Alternative A would involve creation of new pedestrian and POV inspection facilities and expansion of the port onto the site of the former commercial inspection facility. Primary POV inspection facilities would include 16 northbound booths and three southbound booths. There would be new administration space, a new headhouse, and 32 secondary inspection stations serving northbound and southbound traffic. A total of 240 surface parking stalls would be provided. Alternative B, which is the preferred alternative, would expand facilities similar to Alternative A, but the New River would not be covered. The project would be constructed in a two-phase approach with the first phase providing for northbound throughput, adding 10 new lanes in addition to use of existing lanes. Primary and secondary inspection facilities would be included in this phase. Southbound traffic would be accommodated with three new lanes. Phase 1 would be constructed to the west of the existing port of entry and east of the New River. The second phase would demolish existing inspection facilities and construct administration and pedestrian facilities in its place.NBThe project would provide 205,000 gross square feet of office and inspection area.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - INTERNATIONAL FALLS LAND PORT OF ENTRY IMPROVEMENTS STUDY, KOOCHICHING COUNTY, MINNESOTA. AN - 756826955; 14135-100008_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the existing land port of entry (LPOE) along the international border between the United States and Canada in International Falls, Koochiching County, Minnesota is proposed. The 24-hour LPOE serves as the crossing for both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, trains, buses, and pedestrians via the International Bridge over the Rainy River, connecting International Falls with the city of Fort Frances, Ontario. The existing LPOE, which was built in 1993, consists of a single building and parking areas on 1.6 acres and is deficient in the number and location of primary and secondary inbound inspection areas, outbound inspection lane and area, parking and delivery areas, and building setbacks required to meet current guidelines. The new LPOE would be designed in accordance with the modern requirements of the General Services Administration and the Federal Inspection Service to provide a facility adequate for a minimum of 20 years. The proposed action consists of the acquisition of property to meet the space requirements of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies and the construction of new buildings and facilities. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to traffic queues in both directions, the potential impact to business in International Falls from changes in traffic patterns, the potential impact to pedestrians, and aesthetics. Six alternatives, including a No Build alternative, were retained from a feasibility study and are analyzed in this draft EIS. All five build alternatives would involve demolishing the existing building and reuse of the site. Under Alternative 5, new facilities would be constructed on the existing site and a four-acre site south of and contiguous to the existing LPOE. Alternative 7 would involve moving the majority of the improvements and operations to a 17-acre site to the southeast of the existing LPOE. Alternative 8 would expand the LPOE to a 6.8-acre site south of and contiguous to the existing LPOE and Alternative 9 would move the majority of the improvements and operations to a 12-acre site to the southeast of the existing LPOE. Finally, Alternative 10 would move the majority of the improvements and operations to a 12-acre site to the southeast of the existing LPOE between 4th Street and the Rainy River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project would increase vehicle and pedestrian processing efficiency and capacity, reduce traffic queues and delays approaching the LPOE from both directions, minimize conflict points among different types of traffic crossing the border, add a functional secondary inspection area for commercial vehicles, and accommodate future demands and new safety and security technologies and border initiatives. Alternative 10 would also reduce the overall growth in travel demand along Highway 11. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 5 would require acquisition and conversion of four acres. Alternatives 7, 9, and 10 would require 17, 12, and 15 acres of property acquisition, respectively. Alternative 8 would require acquisition and conversion of 6.5 acres and displacement of four businesses. Alternatives 7 and 9 would provide inbound and outbound travelers with an opportunity to avoid the central business district potentially resulting in adverse economic impact. Alternatives 7, 9, and 10 could result in direct impact to the Rainy River and the floodplains of the Rainy River through the construction of piers supporting an access road at its closest point to the river. All the build alternatives would affect surface waters through increased stormwater runoff. Alternatives 7 and 9 would require pedestrians and bicyclists to travel an additional 4,000 and 6,000 feet, respectively, when compared to the No Build alternative.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION HEADQUARTERS CONSOLIDATION, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1997). AN - 756826253; 13965-090261_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Revisions to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2006 Master Plan for the consolidation of FDA's headquarters facilities to a state-of-the-art facility on one location in Silver Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland are proposed. The General Services Administration (GSA) is currently developing new facilities at the Federal Research Center (FRC) at White Oak for FDA's Office of the Commissioner, Office of Regulatory Affairs, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, and the Center for Veterinary Medicine. Since the preparation of the 1997 final EIS and the 2005 final supplemental EIS, congressional mandates have resulted in expansions to FDA's programs and GSA is updating the FDA Headquarters Master Plan to accommodate additional growth on the 130-acre campus. The plan is based on grouping buildings for the six FDA research and administrative functions around a central campus that serves to unite the functions and link the campus to the woodlands to the east. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final supplemental EIS. The proposed action would construct facilities to accommodate the increase of FDA employees from 7,719 to 8,889, change the placement of a 21,000-square foot child care center, construct a 10,000-square foot fitness center, relocate the 25,000-square foot broadcast studio, expand the central utility plant by 50,000 square feet, and construct a 300,000 gallon elevated water storage tank for potable water. The proposed action would add an additional 1.3 million gross square feet of space to support FDA's mission for a total of almost 6 million square feet. Two parking spaces would be provided for every three employees while visitor parking would be increased from 500 to 1,000 spaces for a total of 6,926 parking spaces on the FDA campus. The Dispersed Density action alternative (Alternative 2) is the preferred alternative and would follow existing heights keeping uniformity across the campus and would add a northwest parking garage. Under the Southeast Quadrant Density action alternative (Alternative 3), building heights would be greater than that of existing buildings locating most of the density in the southeastern part of the campus. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would accommodate the projected increase in FDA personnel within the 130 acres appropriated by Congress for the FDA headquarters. Expanded office and laboratory space and the associated infrastructure improvements would allow the additional employees to conduct the complex and comprehensive reviews of new drugs and medical devices which are part of FDA's mandated programs. The use of the central utility plant would have moderate, long-term beneficial impacts to overall energy supplies. Under the action alternatives, employment would increase by 1,170 employees by 2012. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would have adverse impacts from the clearing, grading, and construction activities that would affect soils. An erosion and sediment plan would be implemented to control and reduce sediments from entering storm drains and adjacent streams. The total impervious surface area under alternatives 2 and 3 would be increased by 5.6 and 2.9 acres, respectively over the No Action alternative, with consequent minor, long-term, adverse effects to groundwater quality and hydrology. The proposed locations for the broadcast studio and water storage tank would have direct impacts to wetlands and associated buffers. Under the action alternatives, the FDA headquarters consolidation would continue to have impacts on traffic levels with the additional employees generating approximately 777 vehicle trips in the morning and evening peak hours and improvements to several intersections would be needed. Buildings proposed under the action alternatives would adversely impact views from adjacent streets and apartment communities. The proposed water tower would have a total elevation of 471 to 476 feet and would stand more than 20 feet taller than any surrounding structure.

An erosion and sediment plan would be implemented to control and reduce sediments from entering storm drains and adjacent streams. The total impervious surface area under alternatives 2 and 3 would be increased by 5.6 and 2.9 acres, respectively over the No Action alternative, with consequent minor, long-term, adverse effects to groundwater quality and hydrology. The proposed locations for the broadcast studio and water storage tank would have direct impacts to wetlands and associated buffers. Under the action alternatives, the FDA headquarters consolidation would continue to have impacts on traffic levels with the additional employees generating approximately 777 vehicle trips in the morning and evening peak hours and improvements to several intersections would be needed. Buildings proposed under the action alternatives would adversely impact views from adjacent streets and apartment communities. The proposed water tower would have a total elevation of 471 to 476 feet and would stand more than 20 feet taller than any surrounding structure.

Preparation date: July 24, 2009 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION HEADQUARTERS CONSOLIDATION, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1997). AN - 36347332; 13965 AB - PURPOSE: Revisions to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2006 Master Plan for the consolidation of FDA's headquarters facilities to a state-of-the-art facility on one location in Silver Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland are proposed. The General Services Administration (GSA) is currently developing new facilities at the Federal Research Center (FRC) at White Oak for FDA's Office of the Commissioner, Office of Regulatory Affairs, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, and the Center for Veterinary Medicine. Since the preparation of the 1997 final EIS and the 2005 final supplemental EIS, congressional mandates have resulted in expansions to FDA's programs and GSA is updating the FDA Headquarters Master Plan to accommodate additional growth on the 130-acre campus. The plan is based on grouping buildings for the six FDA research and administrative functions around a central campus that serves to unite the functions and link the campus to the woodlands to the east. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final supplemental EIS. The proposed action would construct facilities to accommodate the increase of FDA employees from 7,719 to 8,889, change the placement of a 21,000-square foot child care center, construct a 10,000-square foot fitness center, relocate the 25,000-square foot broadcast studio, expand the central utility plant by 50,000 square feet, and construct a 300,000 gallon elevated water storage tank for potable water. The proposed action would add an additional 1.3 million gross square feet of space to support FDA's mission for a total of almost 6 million square feet. Two parking spaces would be provided for every three employees while visitor parking would be increased from 500 to 1,000 spaces for a total of 6,926 parking spaces on the FDA campus. The Dispersed Density action alternative (Alternative 2) is the preferred alternative and would follow existing heights keeping uniformity across the campus and would add a northwest parking garage. Under the Southeast Quadrant Density action alternative (Alternative 3), building heights would be greater than that of existing buildings locating most of the density in the southeastern part of the campus. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would accommodate the projected increase in FDA personnel within the 130 acres appropriated by Congress for the FDA headquarters. Expanded office and laboratory space and the associated infrastructure improvements would allow the additional employees to conduct the complex and comprehensive reviews of new drugs and medical devices which are part of FDA's mandated programs. The use of the central utility plant would have moderate, long-term beneficial impacts to overall energy supplies. Under the action alternatives, employment would increase by 1,170 employees by 2012. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would have adverse impacts from the clearing, grading, and construction activities that would affect soils. An erosion and sediment plan would be implemented to control and reduce sediments from entering storm drains and adjacent streams. The total impervious surface area under alternatives 2 and 3 would be increased by 5.6 and 2.9 acres, respectively over the No Action alternative, with consequent minor, long-term, adverse effects to groundwater quality and hydrology. The proposed locations for the broadcast studio and water storage tank would have direct impacts to wetlands and associated buffers. Under the action alternatives, the FDA headquarters consolidation would continue to have impacts on traffic levels with the additional employees generating approximately 777 vehicle trips in the morning and evening peak hours and improvements to several intersections would be needed. Buildings proposed under the action alternatives would adversely impact views from adjacent streets and apartment communities. The proposed water tower would have a total elevation of 471 to 476 feet and would stand more than 20 feet taller than any surrounding structure.

CLAIR COUNTY, MICHIGAN. AN - 756825092; 13815-090090_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the United States inspection plaza at the Blue Water Bridge in the city and town of Port Huron St. Clair County, Michigan is proposed. The study corridor extends from the western end of the Blue Water bridge westward for 2.2 miles to the Interstate 94 (I-94)/I-69 interchange. The existing 18-acre Blue Water Bridge Plaza is elevated 24 feet above street level to accommodate Pine Grove Avenue, which runs beneath the facility. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to effects of the project on the natural, human, and built environment including neighborhood and community cohesion, visual character, noise, air quality, and land use patterns. Practical alternatives include expanding the existing plaza and relocating major functions of the plaza approximately 1.5 miles from the existing facility, with a secured corridor connecting the existing plaza to the new portion of the plaza. Two alternatives are presented in this final EIS. The No Build alternative would not make any changes to the existing plaza configuration or ramps. The recommended alternative incorporates design modifications from the draft EIS City West Alternative (the preferred alternative) and would encompass a 131-acre tract to provide for an expanded plaza and improvements along the I-94/I-69 corridor, including a welcome center and 56-acre plaza. Pine Grove Avenue would be relocated to wrap around the south and west sides of the plaza. The block bounded by Tenth Avenue, Hancock Street, the Michigan 25 Connector, and the existing plaza for expanded inspection and plaza space. The project would include the reconstruction of the Black River Bridge to expand it from four to nine lanes and reconstruct the Water Street Bridge. The Lapeer Connecter interchange would be expanded to include access in all directions. A new Michigan Department of Transportation Welcome Center would be constructed north of I-94/I-69 in Port Huron Township, replacing the existing center at Water Street. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facilities would accommodate plaza traffic growth through the year 2030; provide space for future plaza facility additions and new inspection technologies, reduce traffic backups on I-94/I/69, the Blue Water Bridge, and Highway 402 in Canada; improve safety on the Blue Water Bridge; and minimize impacts to plaza traffic on local roads. The new facilities could encourage commercial redevelopment of land north of Hancock Street. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of a significant portion of the neighborhood south of the existing plaza and 13 homes in the neighborhood northeast of the plaza; in all, 125 residences would be relocated. A church relocation and 30 business displacements would also be unavoidable. The E.C. Williams House, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, would be displaced as well. The inspection station and related facilities would lie within a non-attainment area for airborne particulate matter. Traffic-generated noise would approach or exceed federal standards at 45 residences, four businesses, and at one park site. The facilities would lie within a 100-year floodplain. Construction workers would encounter some or all of the 20 hazardous waste sites that lie within the study area.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION HEADQUARTERS CONSOLIDATION, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF April 1997). AN - 756824587; 13811-090086_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Revision of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2006 Master Plan for the consolidation of FDA's headquarters facilities to a state-of-the-art facility at a single location in Silver Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland is proposed. The General Services Administration (GSA) is currently developing new facilities at the Federal Research Center (FRC) at White Oak for FDA's Office of the Commissioner, Office of Regulatory Affairs, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, and the Center for Veterinary Medicine. Since the preparation of the 1997 final EIS and the 2005 final supplemental EIS, congressional mandates have resulted in expansions to FDA's programs and GSA is updating the FDA Headquarters Master Plan to accommodate additional growth on the 130-acre campus. The plan is based on grouping buildings for the six FDA research and administrative functions around a central campus that serves to unite the functions and link the campus to the woodlands to the east. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft supplemental EIS. The proposed action would construct facilities to accommodate the increase of FDA employees from 7,719 to 8,889, change the placement of a 10,000-square foot child care center, construct a 10,000-square foot fitness center, relocate the 25,000-square foot broadcast studio, expand the central utility plant by 50,000 square feet, and construct a 300,000 gallon elevated water storage tank for potable water. The proposed action would add an additional 1.3 million gross square feet of space to support FDA's mission for a total of almost 6 million square feet. Two parking spaces would be provided for every three employees while visitor parking would be increased from 500 to 1,000 spaces for a total of 6,926 parking spaces on the FDA campus. The Dispersed Density Alternative (Alternative 2) would follow existing building heights to maintain uniformity across the campus and would add a northwest parking garage. Under the Southeast Quadrant Density Alternative (Alternative 3), building heights would be greater than that of existing buildings locating most of the density in the southeastern part of the campus. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would accommodate the projected increase in FDA personnel within the 130 acres appropriated by Congress for the FDA headquarters. Expanded office and laboratory space and the associated infrastructure improvements would allow the additional employees to conduct the complex and comprehensive reviews of new drugs and medical devices which are part of FDA's mandated programs. The use of the central utility plant would have moderate, long-term beneficial impacts to overall energy supplies. Under the action alternatives, employment would increase by 1,170 employees by 2012. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The action proposed in this draft supplemental EIS would have moderate, long-term, adverse impacts from the clearing, grading, and construction activities that would affect soils. An erosion and sediment plan would be implemented to control and reduce sediments from entering storm drains and adjacent streams. The total impervious surface area under alternatives 2 and 3 would be increased by 5.6 and 2.9 acres, respectively, over the No Action alternative, with consequent minor, long-term, adverse effects to groundwater quality and hydrology. The proposed locations for the broadcast studio and water storage tank would have direct impacts to wetlands and associated buffers. Under the action alternatives, the FDA headquarters consolidation would continue to have moderate, long-term impacts on traffic levels with the additional employees generating approximately 777 vehicle trips in the morning and evening peak hours and improvements to several intersections would be needed. Buildings proposed under the action alternatives would adversely impact views from adjacent streets and apartment communities. The proposed water tower would have a total elevation of 471 to 476 feet and would stand more than 20 feet taller than any surrounding structure.

[Part 1 of 3] T2 - DETROIT RIVER INTERNATIONAL CROSSING, WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN. AN - 756824671; 13740-080488_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge and associated infrastructure to provide for a connection between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, Canada is proposed. The Detroit River International Crossing is the most used trade Corridor between the United States and Canada. The project would consist of a road connection from Interstate 75 (I-75) to a new U.S. Customs inspection plaza and a new bridge to Canada. The Ontario and federal governments of Canada are undertaking similar studies for the construction of the Canadian section of the bridge, the Canadian plaza and the Canadian connection to Highway 401, the freeway to Canada. This EIS process addressed only the U.S. project. Nine bridge build alternatives and six interchange alternatives, as well as a No Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The bridge alternatives would involve crossing the river at one of three locations. Two bridge design alternatives are considered, specifically, a cable-stay Alternative and a suspension Alternative. All piers supporting each of the three proposed bridges would e on land to avoid interference with navigation on the Detroit River. Depending on the Alternative considered, estimated U.S. cost of the build alternatives range from $1.847 billion to $1.5 billion. A preferred Alternative is identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new crossing would provide for safe, efficient, and secure movement of people and goods across the Canadian border in the Detroit River area, supporting the economies of Michigan, Ontario, and Canada. The bridge would also support the mobility needs of national and civil defense interests with respect to the protection of the homeland. Increase long-term border-crossing capacity would be met. System connectivity would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would result in the displacement of 324 to 369 occupied residential units, four to 19 vacant residential units, and 43 to 56 occupied commercial units, 24 to 30 occupied commercial units. From 685 to 920 employees would be affected by commercial displacements. Other land affected would include two to four City government facilities, one or two state/federal government facilities, five to eight places of worship, and up to one medical facility. Normal traffic patterns would be disrupted due to interchange closures and the rerouting of three us lines, and two to four pedestrian crossings would be permanently removed. Socioeconomic impacts would disproportionately impact minorities and low-income residents in the study area. Three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be displaced. A small portion of wetland would be displaced.

[Part 3 of 3] T2 - DETROIT RIVER INTERNATIONAL CROSSING, WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN. AN - 756824647; 13740-080488_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge and associated infrastructure to provide for a connection between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, Canada is proposed. The Detroit River International Crossing is the most used trade Corridor between the United States and Canada. The project would consist of a road connection from Interstate 75 (I-75) to a new U.S. Customs inspection plaza and a new bridge to Canada. The Ontario and federal governments of Canada are undertaking similar studies for the construction of the Canadian section of the bridge, the Canadian plaza and the Canadian connection to Highway 401, the freeway to Canada. This EIS process addressed only the U.S. project. Nine bridge build alternatives and six interchange alternatives, as well as a No Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The bridge alternatives would involve crossing the river at one of three locations. Two bridge design alternatives are considered, specifically, a cable-stay Alternative and a suspension Alternative. All piers supporting each of the three proposed bridges would e on land to avoid interference with navigation on the Detroit River. Depending on the Alternative considered, estimated U.S. cost of the build alternatives range from $1.847 billion to $1.5 billion. A preferred Alternative is identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new crossing would provide for safe, efficient, and secure movement of people and goods across the Canadian border in the Detroit River area, supporting the economies of Michigan, Ontario, and Canada. The bridge would also support the mobility needs of national and civil defense interests with respect to the protection of the homeland. Increase long-term border-crossing capacity would be met. System connectivity would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would result in the displacement of 324 to 369 occupied residential units, four to 19 vacant residential units, and 43 to 56 occupied commercial units, 24 to 30 occupied commercial units. From 685 to 920 employees would be affected by commercial displacements. Other land affected would include two to four City government facilities, one or two state/federal government facilities, five to eight places of worship, and up to one medical facility. Normal traffic patterns would be disrupted due to interchange closures and the rerouting of three us lines, and two to four pedestrian crossings would be permanently removed. Socioeconomic impacts would disproportionately impact minorities and low-income residents in the study area. Three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be displaced. A small portion of wetland would be displaced.

AN - 756827404; 14416-080452_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption and implementation of a master plan for the redevelopment of the St. Elizabeths West Campus in Southeast Washington, District of Columbia to house the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters are proposed. Presently, the DHS is housed in approximately 70 buildings located at over 40 locations. The housing situation adversely impacts critical communication, coordination, and cooperation across components, particularly in terms of responding to significant disasters or terrorist threats. The master plan would provide for the construction of new buildings to provide 4.5 million gross square feet (gsf) of secure office space to consolidate the DHS Headquarters and its components. This would involve site redevelopment and new construction on the St. Elizabeths West Campus to house the consolidated DHS Headquarters and reconstruction of the Malcolm X/Interstate 295 interchange to accommodate a new access road for the DHS campus. Thirteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The 12 Action alternatives are the aforementioned redevelopment of St. Elizabeths West Campus, four alternatives for the reconstruction of the interchange, five alternatives for provision of an access road to the DHS campus, and two alternatives with respect to improvement of Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The consolidation of DHS Headquarters activities at one site, with a highly advantageous location, would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of DHS operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. Now disparate agencies and offices within agencies would be gathered into one well coordinated built-to-purpose facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Demolition and/or modification of the buildings now sited on the West Campus and construction of the interchange would result in the degradation or loss of structures and landscapes included in the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological resource sites would also be disturbed or destroyed. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site would displace streams and forested wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology and quality due to an increase in the extent of impervious surface.

Presently, the DHS is housed in approximately 70 buildings located at over 40 locations. The housing situation adversely impacts critical communication, coordination, and cooperation across components, particularly in terms of responding to significant disasters or terrorist threats. The master plan would provide for the construction of new buildings to provide 4.5 million gross square feet (gsf) of secure office space to consolidate the DHS Headquarters and its components. This would involve site redevelopment and new construction on the St. Elizabeths West Campus to house the consolidated DHS Headquarters and reconstruction of the Malcolm X/Interstate 295 interchange to accommodate a new access road for the DHS campus. Thirteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The 12 Action alternatives are the aforementioned redevelopment of St. Elizabeths West Campus, four alternatives for the reconstruction of the interchange, five alternatives for provision of an access road to the DHS campus, and two alternatives with respect to improvement of Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The consolidation of DHS Headquarters activities at one site, with a highly advantageous location, would help ensure the economic and operational efficiency and effectiveness of DHS operations aimed at dealing with catastrophes and terrorist operations. Now disparate agencies and offices within agencies would be gathered into one well coordinated built-to-purpose facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Demolition and/or modification of the buildings now sited on the West Campus and construction of the interchange would result in the degradation or loss of structures and landscapes included in the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological resource sites would also be disturbed or destroyed. New construction at both the campus and the interchange site would displace streams and forested wetlands and alter groundwater hydrology and quality due to an increase in the extent of impervious surface.

Preparation date: October 31, 2008 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. [Part 3 of 4] T2 - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. AN - 36389590; 13399-080165_0003 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. I-5 is one of two major north-south highways providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The study area extends five miles along the I-5 corridor from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. This section of the interstate includes six interchanges that connect the facility to three state highways, providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The current bridge crossing has become congested do to growing traffic demand, impeding passenger and freight movement. The structure provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion. The existing crossing is a draw bridge, hampering both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. These conditions and poor highway geometrics have contributed to the excessive number of accidents reported for the study corridor (300 annually). The area underlying the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake as neither bridge was built to current seismic standards. This draft EIS considers four multi-modal build alternatives that propose either replacing or rehabilitating the existing bridges, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, and improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities. These alternatives also incorporate the possibility of tolling and implementing transportation system management and demand measures. The multimodal components of the alternatives represent various combinations of bridges carrying transit, highway, and bicycle and pedestrian traffic; bicycle and pedestrian improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver; and highway and interchange improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver. In addition, the alternatives offer various means of implementing high-capacity transit modes, transit terminus and alignment options, transit operations options regarding the frequency or train or bus rapid transit service, bridge tolls, and system and demand management options. In addition to the alternatives described above, this EIS considers a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1). POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to vastly improving the automobile between the two cities as well as transit, pedestrian, and bicycle options, the bridge improvement project would enhance movements of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail structurally during an earthquake. Highly significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion, better access to nonvehicular means of crossing the river, and the presence of rapid transit options. Estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $3.1 billion to $4.1 billion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in numerous commercial and residential displacements. Transportation developments within the study corridor would also impact wetlands. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places would be affected. Runoff from impervious surfaces created by the project would increase substantially and the overall amount of toxic pollutants contained in the runoff would increase as well. Numerous sensitive receptors would be exposed automobile and transit traffic-generated noise in excess of federal standards. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

AN - 36380427; 13399-080165_0004 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. I-5 is one of two major north-south highways providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The study area extends five miles along the I-5 corridor from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. This section of the interstate includes six interchanges that connect the facility to three state highways, providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The current bridge crossing has become congested do to growing traffic demand, impeding passenger and freight movement. The structure provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion. The existing crossing is a draw bridge, hampering both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. These conditions and poor highway geometrics have contributed to the excessive number of accidents reported for the study corridor (300 annually). The area underlying the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake as neither bridge was built to current seismic standards. This draft EIS considers four multi-modal build alternatives that propose either replacing or rehabilitating the existing bridges, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, and improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities. These alternatives also incorporate the possibility of tolling and implementing transportation system management and demand measures. The multimodal components of the alternatives represent various combinations of bridges carrying transit, highway, and bicycle and pedestrian traffic; bicycle and pedestrian improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver; and highway and interchange improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver. In addition, the alternatives offer various means of implementing high-capacity transit modes, transit terminus and alignment options, transit operations options regarding the frequency or train or bus rapid transit service, bridge tolls, and system and demand management options. In addition to the alternatives described above, this EIS considers a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1). POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to vastly improving the automobile between the two cities as well as transit, pedestrian, and bicycle options, the bridge improvement project would enhance movements of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail structurally during an earthquake. Highly significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion, better access to nonvehicular means of crossing the river, and the presence of rapid transit options. Estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $3.1 billion to $4.1 billion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in numerous commercial and residential displacements. Transportation developments within the study corridor would also impact wetlands. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places would be affected. Runoff from impervious surfaces created by the project would increase substantially and the overall amount of toxic pollutants contained in the runoff would increase as well. Numerous sensitive receptors would be exposed automobile and transit traffic-generated noise in excess of federal standards. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

In many historic buildings, natural stone or bricks are joined using mortar, and many of the old mortars are prone to weathering and disintegration with time. Restoring these mortars is just as important in maintaining the historic integrity of a building, as is appropriately replacing building stone and brick, but until recently maintaining mortar authenticity received little attention. Historic mortars are commonly composed of a binder, usually lime putty, and aggregate, some sort of sand-size material. Although lime putty was very standard, it was the amount and kinds of aggregate that made mortars distinctive. Analyzing mortars for the percentage of aggregate is typically done by acid digestion of the lime, and in older restorations any suitable sand was used as a replacement. Presently, though, preservationists prefer to use original sand sources, but examination of some original sources in the central Kentucky showed that many sands contain substantial calcareous components that were also being digested by the acid, thus giving erroneous results. It was also difficult to locate original sand sources. Because lime mortars are very similar to carbonate rocks, they are easily examined via thin-section petrology, and point-counting provides estimates of component percentages. Component percentages, as well as discovery of rare trace components like coal and shale fragments, chert and fossil debris, are also critical in discriminating original sand sources. However, in addition to the usual insoluble components, acid digestion revealed that clay was also commonly present, and this unexpected component was not easily seen in a thin section, because the clays mixed imperceptibly into the lime-putty binder and register as lime matrix in point counting. Although acid digestion provides very general estimates of mortar components, a combination of acid digestion and point counting in thin section is far more accurate in characterizing lime mortars and may provide the added benefit of locating original aggregate sources, all of which enhances the authenticity of site restoration.

[Part 5 of 5] T2 - DETROIT RIVER INTERNATIONAL CROSSING, WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN. AN - 36392694; 13301-080067_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge and associated infrastructure to provide for a connection between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, Canada is proposed. This Detroit River International Crossing is the most used trade corridor between the United States and Canada. The project would consist of a road connection from Interstate 75 (I-75) to a new U.S. Customs inspection plaza and a new bridge to Canada. The Ontario and federal governments of Canada are undertaking similar studies for the construction of the Canadian section of the bridge, the Canadian plaza and the Canadian connection to Highway 401, the freeway to Canada. This EIS process addressed only the U.S. project. Nine bridge build alternatives and six interchange alternatives, as well as a No Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The bridge alternatives would involve crossing the river at one of three locations. Two bridge design alternatives are considered, specifically, a cable-stay alternative and a suspension alternative. All piers supporting each of the three proposed bridges would e on land to avoid interference with navigation on the Detroit River. Depending on the alternative considered, estimated cost of the build alternatives range from $1.28 billion to $1.49 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new crossing would provide for safe, efficient, and secure movement of people and goods across the Canadian border in the Detroit River area, supporting the economies of Michigan, Ontario, and Canada. The bridge would also support the mobility needs of national and civil defense interests with respect to the protection of the homeland. Increase long-term border-crossing capacity would be met. System connectivity would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would result in the displacement of 324 to 369 occupied residential units, four to 19 vacant residential units, and 43 to 56 occupied commercial units, 24 to 30 occupied commercial units. From 685 to 920 employees would be affected by commercial displacements. Other land affected would include two to four city government facilities, one or two state/federal government facilities, five to eight places of worship, and up to one medical facility. Normal traffic patterns would be disrupted due to interchange closures and the rerouting of three us lines, and two to four pedestrian crossings would be permanently removed. Socioeconomic impacts would disproportionately impact minorities and low-income residents in the study area. Three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be displaced. A small portion of wetland would be displaced.

[Part 2 of 5] T2 - DETROIT RIVER INTERNATIONAL CROSSING, WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN. AN - 36392288; 13301-080067_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge and associated infrastructure to provide for a connection between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, Canada is proposed. This Detroit River International Crossing is the most used trade corridor between the United States and Canada. The project would consist of a road connection from Interstate 75 (I-75) to a new U.S. Customs inspection plaza and a new bridge to Canada. The Ontario and federal governments of Canada are undertaking similar studies for the construction of the Canadian section of the bridge, the Canadian plaza and the Canadian connection to Highway 401, the freeway to Canada. This EIS process addressed only the U.S. project. Nine bridge build alternatives and six interchange alternatives, as well as a No Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The bridge alternatives would involve crossing the river at one of three locations. Two bridge design alternatives are considered, specifically, a cable-stay alternative and a suspension alternative. All piers supporting each of the three proposed bridges would e on land to avoid interference with navigation on the Detroit River. Depending on the alternative considered, estimated cost of the build alternatives range from $1.28 billion to $1.49 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new crossing would provide for safe, efficient, and secure movement of people and goods across the Canadian border in the Detroit River area, supporting the economies of Michigan, Ontario, and Canada. The bridge would also support the mobility needs of national and civil defense interests with respect to the protection of the homeland. Increase long-term border-crossing capacity would be met. System connectivity would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would result in the displacement of 324 to 369 occupied residential units, four to 19 vacant residential units, and 43 to 56 occupied commercial units, 24 to 30 occupied commercial units. From 685 to 920 employees would be affected by commercial displacements. Other land affected would include two to four city government facilities, one or two state/federal government facilities, five to eight places of worship, and up to one medical facility. Normal traffic patterns would be disrupted due to interchange closures and the rerouting of three us lines, and two to four pedestrian crossings would be permanently removed. Socioeconomic impacts would disproportionately impact minorities and low-income residents in the study area. Three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be displaced. A small portion of wetland would be displaced.

AN - 36406392; 13144 AB - PURPOSE: The development and implementation of a new master plan for the Denver Federal Center site in Jefferson County, Colorado are proposed. The existing Federal Center, which lies in an unincorporated portion of Jefferson County surrounded by the city of Lakewood, consists of a 640-acre secure federal facility operated by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The center was acquired in 1941 by the federal government and is currently used for office, research, and administrative purposes by 26 federal agencies. The facility encompasses 4.1 million square feet of space in 65 active buildings, providing work space for 6,000 on-site employees. GSA is currently in the process of selling approximately 65 acres within the site to the city of Lakewood through the federal land disposal process. The land to be disposed would allow for the construction of an intermodal transit station as part of the regional transportation district's larger West Corridor Light Rail Transit Line project and the relocation of St. Anthony Central Hospital to the site. The alternatives addressed in this EIS assume the successful completion of the transit station and the hospital. Also underway are plans to upgrade and expand the infrastructure and utility systems at the Federal Center site. The current master plan for the Federal Center was completed in 1997. Since that time potential development and redevelopment opportunities in and around the site have been identified. Two action alternatives, which offer differing development configurations and densities, are considered in this final EIS, along with a No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the existing 1997 master plan. The Federal Quad Alternative, which has been identified as the preferred alternative, would situate the center around a central quadrangle largely consisting of open space. The quad would be surrounded by complementary office buildings, including secure federal buildings, non-secure federal buildings, and research buildings, as well as commercial (retail) space and housing. Approximately 192 acres, or 30 percent of the site, would be designated for open space. Under this alternative, the development plan would provide for 3.6 million gross square feet of new development as well as 290 residential units. The Federal Mall Alternative would result in the creation of a literal mall running along Center Avenue connecting Union Boulevard, St Anthony Central Hospital, and the central core of the Federal Center. This alternative would provide 3.8 million gross square feet of new development, as well as 11,400 residential units, organized around an landscaped boulevard. Full build-out of this alternative would provide 6.7 million square feet of new and existing space, along with the housing units. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The currently proposed master plan would provide a new vision and development for the Federal center for the next 20 years through an integrated, collaborative planning process. The plan would establish the nature, character, and location of activities and development; encourage orderly growth and change throughout the site; and provide the basis for future implementation actions. Visual quality in the area would be significantly enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under either action alternative, the demand for public utilities would increase, requiring upgrades to the infrastructure and service capacity and resulting in a slight impact on utilities. The Federal Quad and Federal Mall alternatives, respectively, would generate 51,300 and 75,600 vehicle trips per day at full build-out. Traffic generated by either alternative would significantly affect the level of service at the intersection of Union Boulevard and Alameda Avenue during evening peak hours.

The Federal Quad Alternative, which has been identified as the preferred alternative, would situate the center around a central quadrangle largely consisting of open space. The quad would be surrounded by complementary office buildings, including secure federal buildings, non-secure federal buildings, and research buildings, as well as commercial (retail) space and housing. Approximately 192 acres, or 30 percent of the site, would be designated for open space. Under this alternative, the development plan would provide for 3.6 million gross square feet of new development as well as 290 residential units. The Federal Mall Alternative would result in the creation of a literal mall running along Center Avenue connecting Union Boulevard, St Anthony Central Hospital, and the central core of the Federal Center. This alternative would provide 3.8 million gross square feet of new development, as well as 11,400 residential units, organized around an landscaped boulevard. Full build-out of this alternative would provide 6.7 million square feet of new and existing space, along with the housing units. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The currently proposed master plan would provide a new vision and development for the Federal center for the next 20 years through an integrated, collaborative planning process. The plan would establish the nature, character, and location of activities and development; encourage orderly growth and change throughout the site; and provide the basis for future implementation actions. Visual quality in the area would be significantly enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under either action alternative, the demand for public utilities would increase, requiring upgrades to the infrastructure and service capacity and resulting in a slight impact on utilities. The Federal Quad and Federal Mall alternatives, respectively, would generate 51,300 and 75,600 vehicle trips per day at full build-out. Traffic generated by either alternative would significantly affect the level of service at the intersection of Union Boulevard and Alameda Avenue during evening peak hours.

AN - 36382355; 13144-080036_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The development and implementation of a new master plan for the Denver Federal Center site in Jefferson County, Colorado are proposed. The existing Federal Center, which lies in an unincorporated portion of Jefferson County surrounded by the city of Lakewood, consists of a 640-acre secure federal facility operated by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The center was acquired in 1941 by the federal government and is currently used for office, research, and administrative purposes by 26 federal agencies. The facility encompasses 4.1 million square feet of space in 65 active buildings, providing work space for 6,000 on-site employees. GSA is currently in the process of selling approximately 65 acres within the site to the city of Lakewood through the federal land disposal process. The land to be disposed would allow for the construction of an intermodal transit station as part of the regional transportation district's larger West Corridor Light Rail Transit Line project and the relocation of St. Anthony Central Hospital to the site. The alternatives addressed in this EIS assume the successful completion of the transit station and the hospital. Also underway are plans to upgrade and expand the infrastructure and utility systems at the Federal Center site. The current master plan for the Federal Center was completed in 1997. Since that time potential development and redevelopment opportunities in and around the site have been identified.

[Part 3 of 3] T2 - STATE ROUTE 11 CORRIDOR LOCATION AND THE OTAY MESA EAST PORT OF ENTRY ON OTAY MESA, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 756824588; 13546-080321_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The identification of the locations for the future construction of State Route (SR) 11 and the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry (POE) in San Diego County, California is proposed. Between 1996 and 2006, the number of primary inspections at the existing Otay Mesa POE increased over 80 percent and that volume is expected to climb an additional 50 percent by 2025. Wait times for personal trips average 45 minutes at the POE during peak periods; 10 percent of the travelers waited as long as 60 minutes. Transportation and land use planning agencies on both sides of the border have identified the longer-term need for a third border crossing and associated transportation facilities in the San Diego/Tijuana area. This EIS represents the first phase of a two-phase process. Phase I objectives include the adoption of an SR 11 corridor, receipt of a Presidential Permit for the POE, and possible acquisition of rights-of-way for the two facilities. Any acquisition of rights-of-way by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) at this stage would be undertaken without federal funding. Two alternative SR 11 corridors and corresponding POE locations, along with a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The western corridor would extend 2.1 miles, while the central corridor would extend 2.5 miles. The western SR 11 corridor would extend eastward from Harvest Road at the future SR 125/SR 905 interchange, passing south of Otay Mesa Road and north of Airway Road and curving southward to connect with the northern edge of the western POE site. The central corridor would extend from Harvest Road at the eastern side of the SR B125/SR 905 interchange, run eastward along the same alignment as the western corridor up to the eastern side of the Enrico Fermi Drive interchange, and continue east for 0.8 mile before beginning to curve gently toward the southeast for 0.5 mile through the area identified for a future Siempre Viva Road interchange, terminating in the middle of the northern edge of the central POE site. Both candidate POE sites would encompass 100 acres. Identification and analysis of design and operational alternatives for the POE and SR 11 would occur during Phase II. Costs for land acquisition and construction within the western and central corridors are estimated at $208.6 million and $246.6 million to $264.4 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phase I activities would provide for presidential approval of the project and for the reservation of land for SR 11 and the Otay Mesa East POE prior to buildout of the East Otay Mesa area. The land would be acquired at current prices, which are much lower than they will be following buildout. Caltrans and the General Services Administration could then proceed independently with the design and environmental processing of their respective projects, namely, SR 11 and the POE facilities. The new POE would replace an existing facility which lacks the capacity to accommodate the cross-border traffic volume. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Based on the administrative nature of Phase I, none of the proposed actions or decisions would be irreversible. Phase I would not involve any ground-disturbing activities. Implementation of the proposed actions would, however, commit the adopted SR 11 corridor rights-of-way and the selected POE site to potential future development under Phase II. Under Phase II, 16.3 to 16.4 acres of developed or graded land, 5.2 to 8.7 acres of temporary use land, 5.3 acres of industrial land, 200 to 215 acres of undeveloped land to highway and POE purposes, resulting in the replacement of soil and vegetation with impervious surface over much of the converted area. The rural aesthetic values of the corridor would be altered significantly. Seven to nine cultural resource sites would be affected, though all are low value sites. The project would take place in an area characterized by mid- to high-sensitivity paleontological formations. Small areas of wetland would be lost. Habitat for several federally protected species of plants, mammals, and insects occur in the project area, but none were sighted during field surveys.

Implementation of the proposed actions would, however, commit the adopted SR 11 corridor rights-of-way and the selected POE site to potential future development under Phase II. Under Phase II, 16.3 to 16.4 acres of developed or graded land, 5.2 to 8.7 acres of temporary use land, 5.3 acres of industrial land, 200 to 215 acres of undeveloped land to highway and POE purposes, resulting in the replacement of soil and vegetation with impervious surface over much of the converted area. The rural aesthetic values of the corridor would be altered significantly. Seven to nine cultural resource sites would be affected, though all are low value sites. The project would take place in an area characterized by mid- to high-sensitivity paleontological formations. Small areas of wetland would be lost. Habitat for several federally protected species of plants, mammals, and insects occur in the project area, but none were sighted during field surveys.

AN - 36415152; 13120 AB - PURPOSE: The identification of the locations for the future construction of State Route (SR) 11 and the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry (POE) in San Diego County, California is proposed. Between 1996 and 2006, the number of primary inspections at the existing Otay Mesa POE increased over 80 percent and that volume is expected to climb an additional 50 percent by 2025. Wait times for personal trips average 45 minutes at the POE during peak periods; 10 percent of the travelers waited as long as 60 minutes. Transportation and land use planning agencies on both sides of the border have identified the longer-term need for a third border crossing and associated transportation facilities in the San Diego/Tijuana area. This EIS represents the first phase of a two-phase process. Phase I objectives include the adoption of an SR 11 corridor, receipt of a Presidential Permit for the POE, and possible acquisition of rights-of-way for the two facilities. Any acquisition of rights-of-way by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) at this stage would be undertaken without federal funding. Two alternative SR 11 corridors and corresponding POE locations, along with a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The western corridor would extend 2.1 miles, while the central corridor would extend 2.5 miles. The western SR 11 corridor would extend eastward from Harvest Road at the future SR 125/SR 905 interchange, passing south of Otay Mesa Road and north of Airway Road and curving southward to connect with the northern edge of the western POE site. The central corridor would extend from Harvest Road at the eastern side of the SR B125/SR 905 interchange, run eastward along the same alignment as the western corridor up to the eastern side of the Enrico Fermi Drive interchange, and continue east for 0.8 mile before beginning to curve gently toward the southeast for 0.5 mile through the area identified for a future Siempre Viva Road interchange, terminating in the middle of the northern edge of the central POE site. Both candidate POE sites would encompass 100 acres. Identification and analysis of design and operational alternatives for the POE and SR 11 would occur during Phase II. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phase I activities would provide for presidential approval of the project and for the reservation of land for SR 11 and the Otay Mesa East POE prior to buildout of the East Otay Mesa area. The land would be acquired at current prices, which are much lower than they will be following buildout. Caltrans and the General Services Administration could then proceed independently with the design and environmental processing of their respective projects, namely, SR 11 and the POE facilities. The new POE would replace an existing facility which lacks the capacity to accommodate the cross-border traffic volume. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Based on the administrative nature of Phase I, none of the proposed actions or decisions would be irreversible. Phase I would not involve any ground-disturbing activities. Implementation of the proposed actions would, however, commit the adopted SR 11 corridor rights-of-way and the selected POE site to potential future development under Phase II. Under Phase II, 16.3 to 16.4 acres of developed or graded land, 5.2 to 8.7 acres of temporary use land, 5.3 acres of industrial land, 200 to 215 acres of undeveloped land to highway and POE purposes, resulting in the replacement of soil and vegetation with impervious surface over much of the converted area.
