meters (3.0 million square feet from 1.5

million square feet) of floor space

within the NASA Research Park.

Proposed uses within the NASA

Research Park would include: Student/

faculty housing, training and residential

conference facilities, offices, R&D,

laboratory, museum and educational

facilities. Also included in this

alternative is the renovation of 46,500

square meters (500,000 square feet),

including Hangar 1 for the California

Air and Space Center. For Bay View,

this alternative also includes 251,000

square meters (2.7 million square feet)

of offices, R&D, laboratory, educational

facilities and student/faculty housing,

and elimination of the Outdoor

Aerodynamic Research Facility in the

northern portion of Bay View). For East

Side-Airfield, this alternative would

include approximately 62,000 square

meters (670,000 square feet) of new light

industrial, R&D, office and educational

facilities. For ARC Facilities, this

alternative would include the

renovation and replacement of

approximately 140,000 square meters

(1.5 million square feet) for offices, R&D

and laboratories. No new wind tunnels

or increased aircraft operations are

proposed. The existing Burrowing Owl

habitat would be protected.

NASA is currently proceeding with a

project that includes the development of

a laboratory facility that was covered by

a FONSI issued in 1994 for the CUP.

Development under the CUP also

includes renovation of portions of the

Shenandoah National Historic District

and other minor development.

The California Air National Guard

(CANG) is proceeding with its master

plan, which includes construction of a

new airfield support facility. The

CANG’s development is covered by a

separate FONSI and EA, which they

issued in 1997.

No new wind tunnels or additional

aircraft operations are proposed for any

of the action alternatives. No

development would occur in wetlands.

The Bay Trail would be accommodated

as part of the action alternatives.

The Center area is served by several

modes of public transportation,

including the Santa Clara Valley Transit

Authority Light Rail, CalTrain, and

bicycle paths.

The EIS will consider the full range of

potential environmental impacts

associated with these alternatives.

Environmental issues addressed will

include, but not necessarily be limited

to, public policy, land use, motor

vehicle traffic, air quality, infrastructure

and drainage, hazardous materials and

site contamination, pollution

prevention, geology, biological

resources, noise, aesthetics, cultural

resources, socioeconomic impacts

(including environmental justice), and

other issues identified for emphasis

during the scoping process. NASA

believes that the greatest potential for

environmental impact is to traffic and

air quality. If the proposed development

would increase relevant air emissions

above 100 tons per year, NASA would

conduct a detailed general conformity

determination, pursuant to the Clean

Air Act.

NASA will consult with the State

Historic Preservation Office during the

planning process because part of the

NASA Research Park and East SideAirfield development would be located

in a historic district that is listed on the

National Register of Historic Places.

Written public input and comments

on environmental issues or concerns

related to the development of the Center

are hereby solicited.

Associate Administrator for Management
