that its preferred use of the land tract

would be to develop the property within

5 to 10 years for its own use with the

construction of a new office building to

house County employees, paved parking

areas, and new warehouses, garages, and

support buildings for the transfer of the

school bus yard, equipment

maintenance, and school supply

warehousing activities to the site. A

maximum of about 800 employees

would be expected to occupy the site. A

Finding of No Significant Impact

(FONSI) was issued on January 23,

1997, although no action has yet taken

place.

The Research Park EA (DOE/EA–

1212) analyzed the proposed lease of

about 60 acres of land located next to

the main administration portion of

LANL, at the edges of TA–3 and TA–62.

The property is currently a combination

of wooded land and land used for

parking lots. This tract is bounded in

general by Diamond Drive on the east,

West Jemez Road on the south, West

Road on the west, and Los Alamos

Canyon on the north. The land would be

leased to the County to establish a

research park. The term of the lease is

expected to be 55 years with options for

renewal depending upon final

agreements between the County and

DOE. The tract of land would be

developed by the County or third parties

within 5 to 10 years of the date of the

lease. Research parks are professional

developments that allow a wide range of

companies to work within the same

geographic location and to benefit from

a well-planned environment suited to

business needs. The County

recommended that the type of research

park best suited for Los Alamos would

include freestanding buildings with

landscaping and a possible atrium

arrangement between related structures.

About 10 buildings are planned for the

research park and about 1,500

employees would be expected to occupy

the site. A FONSI was issued on October

8, 1997, although no action has yet

taken place.

Scoping Process

The scoping process is an opportunity

for the public to assist the DOE in

determining the alternatives and issues

for analysis. The purpose of the scoping

meetings is to receive oral and written

comments from the public. The

meetings will use a format to facilitate

dialogue between DOE and the public

and will be an opportunity for

individuals to provide written or oral

statements. DOE welcomes specific

comments or suggestions on the content

of these alternatives, or on other

alternatives that could be considered.

The above list of issues to be considered

in the EIS analysis is tentative and is

intended to facilitate public comment

on the scope of this EIS. It is not

intended to be all-inclusive, nor does it

imply any predetermination of potential

impacts. The Conveyance and Transfer

EIS will describe the potential

environmental impacts of the

alternatives, using available data where

possible and obtaining additional data

where necessary. Copies of written

comments and transcripts of oral

comments will be available at the

following locations: Los Alamos

Outreach Center, 1350 Central Avenue,

Suite 101, Los Alamos, New Mexico,

87544; and the Albuquerque TechnicalVocational Institute (TVI), Montoya
