Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) in Support of New Facilities for 

the U.S. Army Medical Research 

Institute of Infectious Diseases 

(USAMRIID), Fort Detrick, MD 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Medical Research 

and Material Command, Department of 

the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army announces the 

availability of an FEIS which evaluates 

the potential environmental impacts of 

the construction and operation of new 

USAMRIID facilities and the 

decommissioning and demolition and/ 

or re-use of existing USAMRIID 

facilities at Fort Detrick. 

DATES: The waiting period for the FEIS 

will end 30 days after publication of the 

NOA in the Federal Register by the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Caree Vander Linden, USAMRIID Public 

Affairs, 1425 Porter Street, Fort Detrick, 

MD 21702–5011; telephone (301) 619–

2285; fax: (301) 619–4625, or through 

the public USAMRIID EIS Web site at 

http://www.usamriid.army.mil/eis. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Proposed Action and subject of the EIS 

is the construction and operation of new 

USAMRIID facilities and the 

decommissioning and demolition and/ 

or re-use of existing USAMRIID 

facilities at Fort Detrick. 

The proposed new USAMRIID 

facilities would provide biocontainment 

laboratory space, animal facilities, and 

administrative offices, as well as 

operational and administrative support 

facilities. These new facilities would be 

located adjacent to the existing 


pwalker on PROD1PC69 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 250 / Friday, December 29, 2006 / Notices 78411 

USAMRIID facilities within the National 

Interagency Biodefense Campus on Area 

A of Fort Detrick and near the 

biomedical research facilities of mission 

partners, including the Agricultural 

Research Service Foreign Disease-Weed 

Research Unit of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, the National Institute of 

Allergy and Infectious Diseases’

Integrated Research Facility, and the 

Department of Homeland Security’s 

National Biodefense Analysis and 

Countermeasures Center. The existing 

USAMRIID facilities on Area A would 

be decommissioned and either 

demolished and/or re-used following 

occupancy of the new USAMRIID 

facilities. 

The construction would occur in two 

stages. Stage 1 would provide 

approximately 700,000 gross square feet 

(gsf) of new building space for the 

replacement of outdated and 

compressed existing USAMRIID 

facilities in order to sustain the current 

mission and to expand medical test and 

evaluation (T&E) capacity in support of 

immediate Department of Defense (DoD) 

and national demand. Stage 2 would 

encompass approximately 400,000 gsf of 

new building space for the balance of 

USAMRIID’s expanded mission and for 

additional capacity to meet intensified 

national requirements for medical test 

and evaluation in support of biodefense 

research as well as to accommodate 

increased collaborative efforts among 

USAMRIID’s mission partners. In 

addition, approximately 200,000 gsf of 

the existing USAMRIID facilities may be 

renovated and re-used for laboratory or 

non-laboratory use, to be determined by 

evolving biodefense requirements. 

The significant issues analyzed in the 

FEIS included: Safety of laboratory 

operations and demolition of the 

existing biocontainment laboratories; 

public health and safety; handling, 

collection, treatment, and disposal of 

research wastes; water supply and other 

utility requirements; traffic; pollution 

prevention; and analysis of other risks 

to include discussion of the risk of 

terrorist attack. In addition, possible 

adverse health and safety impacts on 

laboratory workers in the proposed new 

USAMRIID facilities and on nearby 

residents during the operational phase 

of the project were identified and 

evaluated. The risks were deemed to be 

negligible and mitigable through 

adherence to ‘‘Biosafety in 

Microbiological and Biomedical 

Laboratories’’ (BMBL) and other 

standards for safe operational practices. 

Three alternatives were considered: 

Construction and Operation of New 

USAMRIID Facilities and 

Decommissioning and Demolition of the 

Existing USAMRIID Facilities on Area A 

of Fort Detrick, Maryland (Alternate I), 

Construction and Operation of New 

USAMRIID Facilities and 

Decommissioning and Partial 

Demolition of the Existing USAMRIID 

Facilities and Re-Use of the Remaining 

Facilities on Area A of Fort Detrick, 

Maryland (Alternate II), and the No 

Action Alternative, under which the 

proposed new USAMRIID facilities 

would not be built and operated and the 

existing USAMRIID facilities would not 

be decommissioned and demolished 

and/or re-used. 

Following the end of the 30-day 

waiting period, a decision will be made 

by the U.S. Army as to which of the 

alternatives will be implemented. This 

decision will be based on consideration 

of a number of factors. These factors 

include, but are not limited to, 

environmental considerations, laws and 

regulations, mission needs (at Fort 

Detrick as well as from a national 

perspective), budget considerations, 

schedule, and public concerns. A 

Record of Decision will then be 

executed.
