Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the 
Development of a Clifton Road Campus Annex for the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia

    Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act (NEPA) of 1969, and the President's Council on Environmental 
Quality Regulations (40 CFR 1500-1508), as implemented by General 
Services Administration (GSA) Order PBS P 1095.4B, GSA announces its 
intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the long-
term development of a campus annex (West Campus) to house the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    The EIS will examine the short and long term impacts on the natural 
and built environments of developing and operating a mix of laboratory, 
office, and support space at the proposed West Campus. Potential impact 
assessment areas include but are not limited to air, water, public 
facilities & infrastructure, plant & animal life, transportation 
systems, parking, and community & economic issues.
    The EIS will also examine measures to mitigate unavoidable adverse 
impacts of the proposed action. Concurrent with NEPA implementation, 
GSA will also implement its consultation requirements under Section 106 
of the National Historic Preservation Act to determine the potential 
impacts of the proposed action on historic & cultural resources.
    CDC's existing Main Campus occupies 27.6 acres, and is bounded by 
Clifton Road to the north, Michael Street to the south and east, and 
Clifton Way to the west.
    CDC currently occupies approximately 884,000 gross square feet in 
17 buildings, housing some 1,900 personnel. Approximately 60 percent of 
gross square footage consists of laboratory space, the remainder being 
office, administrative, and facility support space. There are 
approximately 1,800 parking spaces on site.
    To meet CDC's known facility replacement needs, and to provide 
future expansion space, GSA proposes to acquire and develop 
approximately 16.8 acres bounded by Clifton Road to the north, Clifton 
Way to the east, and Michael Street to the south and west (West 
Campus). The maximum anticipated development over a twenty year 
planning horizon is approximately 633,000 additional gross square feet 
of laboratory, office, and support space, and 2,300 parking spaces.
    GSA has identified the following alternatives to be examined in the 
EIS:
     ``No Action,'' that is, undertake no site acquisition and 
development at all.
     Development of the proposed West Campus Site, previously 
described in this Notice. This is the GSA/CDC preferred alternative.
     Development of the proposed West Campus housing 
requirements on the Main Campus.
    GSA may examine alternative levels of development based on CDC's 
known and projected requirements in response to public comments 
received during the NEPA analysis period.
    As part of the public scoping process, GSA encourages you to 
contact us in writing at the following address with your concerns 
regarding the proposed action: Mr. George Chandler, Technical Services 
Team Leader, PBS Portfolio Management--4PT, 401 West Peachtree Street, 
NW, Suite 3000, Atlanta, GA 30365, or, FAX your comments to Mr. 
Chandler at 404-331-4540. Comments should be postmarked no later than 
July 9, 1995.
    GSA intends to conduct a Public Scoping Meeting to solicit 
comments, and to address general questions concerning the proposed 
action and NEPA. GSA will place a Notice of this and all subsequent 
public meetings and document releases concerning the proposed action in 
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution approximately two weeks prior to the 
event. GSA will notify persons and organizations on our mailing list by 
mail. Persons who wish to be added to the mailing list should write or 
FAX GSA as indicated in this Notice.

    Dated: June 1, 1995.

Assistant Regional Administrator, Public Buildings Service.
