Road in Maple Heights, Ohio

AGENCY: Employment and Training

of Granite Road in Maple Heights, Ohio.

the Department of Labor, Employment

and Training Administration, Office of

Job Corps, in accordance with 29 CFR

11.11(d), gives notice that an

Environmental Assessment (EA) has

been prepared and the proposed plans

for a new Job Corps Center will have no

significant environmental impact. This

Preliminary Finding of No Significant

Impact (FONSI) will be made available

for public review and comment for a

period of 30 days.

DATES: Comments must be submitted by

August 24, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Any comment(s) are to be

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Copies of the EA and additional

information are available to interested

parties by contacting Richard Trigg,

Regional Director, Region V (Five),

Office of Job Corps, 230 South Dearborn

Street, Chicago, IL 60604, (312) 353–

1311 (this is not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The proposed development site is

located approximately one and one

quarter miles (11⁄4) south of the Maple

Heights City Hall and is located at the

end of Granite Road in Maple Heights,

Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The proposed

development site is located to the

northeast of Granite Road and southeast

of Pennsylvania Avenue. The EA

indicates that the site is on an

approximate 24 acre wooded and

undeveloped parcel. The site is located

in an urban, light industrial area with

adjacent residential developments

within one quarter (1⁄4) of a mile. The

property is currently owned by the

Maple Heights Development Company.

The site does not contain any structures,

and historical aerial photographs

indicate that the property has been

wooded dating back to 1951.

The proposed Job Corps Center will

be designed to accommodate

approximately 430 Job Corps students

(380 residential and 50 non-residential

students). The proposed Center will

consist of nine buildings, including

dormitories, educational/vocational

facilities, food service facilities,

recreational facilities, administrative

offices, storage and support facilities,

with a total building area of 114,275 net

square feet. The proposed project will

be constructed in accordance with local

fire and building code requirements.

The construction of the Job Corps

Center on this undeveloped parcel

would be a positive asset to the area in

terms of environmental and

socioeconomic improvements, and longterm productivity. The proposed Job

Corps Center will be a new source of

employment opportunity for people in

the Maple Heights, Ohio area. The Job

Corps program provides basic

education, vocational skills training,

work experience, counseling, health

care and related support services. This

program is designed to graduate

students who are ready to participate in

the local economy.

The proposed project will not have

any significant adverse impact on any

natural system or resource. There are no

‘‘historically significant’’ buildings on

the site and no areas of archaeological

significance. No threatened or

endangered species have been located

on the site.

Air quality and noise levels should

not be affected by the proposed

development project in the light

industrial area in Maple Heights, Ohio.

Due to the nature of the proposed

project, it would not be a source of air

pollutants or additional noise, except

possibly during construction of the

facility. The Ohio Environmental

Protection Agency has indicated that

construction of a Job Corps Center at the

proposed site will not require

permitting under Section 173 of the

Clean Air Act. The proposed project site

is located within the Cleveland-AkronLorain air quality region, which

includes several non-attainment areas

for the PM–10 and SO2 National

Ambient Air Quality Standards

(NAAQS). The proposed Job Corps

Center will not significantly increase the

vehicle traffic in the vicinity, and will

not be a significant source of air

pollution.

The proposed project will not have

any significant adverse impact on the

surrounding infrastructure, represented

by water, sewer and storm water

systems. Water and sewage systems will

be provided by the Northeast Ohio

Regional Sewer District (NEORSD).

These systems are readily accessible and

should be sufficient to accommodate the

new Job Corps Center. All wastewater

treatment will be handled by NEORSD’s

Southerly Wastewater Treatment

Facility. The Southerly plant is

operating under an existing National

Pollution Discharge Elimination System

(NPDES) permit. Stormwater runoff

from parking lots, sidewalks, and other

structures will be managed in

accordance with the requirements of the

Ohio Department of Natural Resources

(ODNR), and is not anticipated to

adversely impact area water quality.

The proposed project site is located

adjacent to an industrial park, thus

electrical power will be easily

accessible. The proposed demands on

electrical power are not expected to

have a significant adverse affect on the

environment. Electric utilities and

natural gas are provided by Centerior

Energy.

Granite Road leads directly into the

proposed project site. Granite Road

connects to Lee Road, to the west,

which leads to several other main

thoroughfares within the City of Maple

Heights. These roads can be used to

access all aspects of the greater

Cleveland area. Roadways will need to

be constructed around the new Job

Corps Center, but no significant adverse

affects are expected. The traffic patterns

will be monitored to insure a

satisfactory movement of vehicles.

No significant adverse affects should

be felt by the local medical, emergency,

fire and police facilities. The closest

medical facility, Bedford Medical

Center, is located in the City of Bedford,

approximately 11⁄2 miles to the east of

the proposed project site. The Job Corps

Center will also have a small medical

and dental facility on-site for use by the

residents as necessary. Emergency,

police and fire services will be provided

by the City of Maple Heights, none of

which will be adversely impacted by the

Job Corps Center.

The proposed project population will

not have a significant adverse
