SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

GSA is planning to modernize and 

expand the Lynden and Sumas LPOEs. 

The existing 4.8-acre Lynden LPOE 

serves as the port of entry for people 

and vehicles connecting Lynden, 

Washington to Aldergrove, British 

Columbia, Canada. The Lynden LPOE 

currently operates 16 hours per day, 7 

days per week and processes privately 

owned vehicles (POVs), buses, 

pedestrians, and permitted commercial 

traffic. The existing 4.0-acre Sumas 

LPOE serves as the port of entry for 

people and vehicles connecting Sumas, 

Washington, to Abbotsford, British 

Columbia, Canada. The Sumas LPOE 

operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per 

week and processes POVs, buses, 

pedestrians, and commercial traffic. 

The purpose of these projects is for 

GSA to support the U.S. Department of 

Homeland Security’s Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) mission 

through modernizing and expanding the 

Lynden and Sumas LPOEs. 

Accomplishing this purpose would 

increase the functionality, capacity, 

operational efficiency, effectiveness, 

security, sustainability, and safety of the 

Lynden and Sumas LPOEs. The projects 

are generally needed to update the 

current facilities at the Lynden and 

Sumas LPOEs, which no longer function 

adequately and cannot meet CBP 

current operational needs or Program of 

Requirements. 

The existing Lynden and Sumas 

LPOEs have not undergone major 

improvements since their initial 

construction in the late 1980s and do 

not have sufficient space for 

modernization and expansion. Both 

facilities also have configuration and 

space issues that cause congestion, 

delays in processing times, and safety 

and security issues for inspection 

personnel. Additionally, these facilities 

do not have the ability to incorporate 

new technologies as they become 

available. The projects at the Lynden 

and Sumas LPOEs are analyzed jointly 

in this Final EIS due to their proximity 

(approximately 10 miles) to one another. 

Operational changes at the Lynden and 

Sumas LPOEs could impact each other, 

especially during construction. 

GSA prepared a Final EIS to assess 

the potential impacts of these expansion 

and modernization projects. On August 

8, 2023, GSA published a Notice of 

Intent for the EIS and underwent a 30- 

day scoping period (88 FR 53486). The 

Draft EIS, which considered two action 

alternatives and a No Action Alternative 

for the Lynden LPOE and three action 

alternatives and a No Action Alternative 

for the Sumas LPOE, was made 

available for a 45-day public comment 

period from August 12, 2024 to 

September 26, 2024. The Final EIS was 

issued on November 15, 2024 (89 FR 

90292); starting a 30-day waiting period 

that ended on December 16, 2024. 

One comment from U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(USEPA), Region 10 was received 

during the Final EIS 30-day waiting 

period from November 15, 2024 to 

December 16, 2024. The USEPA 

indicated that GSA addressed all the 

USEPA comments on the Draft EIS 

related to information on measures to 

protect water resources, improve air 

quality, and sustainable building design 

to adapt to a changing climate. No other 

comments were received during the 

Final EIS 30-day waiting period. 

GSA’s Preferred Alternatives and 

Environmentally Preferable 

Alternatives 

GSA considered the findings in the 

Final EIS, stakeholder input, public 

comments, and tenant needs at the 

LPOEs to determine the preferred 

alternatives, including the 

environmentally preferable alternatives, 

which are discussed below. 

Lynden LPOE 

GSA’s preferred alternative for the 

Lynden LPOE is to implement Lynden 

LPOE Alternative 3 (North-South 

Oriented LPOE Expansion) as described 

in the Final EIS. GSA has selected this 

alternative because it would match the 

orientation of the existing LPOE and 

facilitate more efficient traffic flow. GSA 

has also identified Lynden LPOE 

Alternative 3 as the environmentally 

preferable alternative. 

Lynden LPOE Alternative 3 (NorthSouth Oriented LPOE Expansion) would 

involve potential acquisition of 

primarily agricultural land to the west 

of the LPOE, site preparation, and 

construction to modernize and expand 

the LPOE. The maximum proposed 

limits of disturbance for Lynden LPOE 

Alternative 3 would be approximately 

10.3 acres. 

Sumas LPOE 

GSA’s preferred alternative for the 

Sumas LPOE is to implement Sumas 

LPOE Alternative 4 (Multi-Story 

Construction LPOE Expansion) as 

described in the Final EIS. GSA has 

selected this alternative because the 

operational space within the Main 

Building would be consolidated, and 

the building would use a smaller 

footprint within the LPOE allowing 

more space for other LPOE functions 

and increasing LPOE operational 

efficiency. This alternative would also 

add a pedestrian bridge, further 

increasing employee safety. GSA has 

also identified Sumas LPOE Alternative 

4 as the environmentally preferable 

alternative. 

Sumas LPOE Alternative 4 (MultiStory Construction LPOE Expansion) 

would involve potential acquisition of 

land south and east of the LPOE, site 

preparation, and construction to 

modernize and expand the LPOE. The 

maximum proposed limits of 

disturbance for Sumas LPOE Alternative 

4 would be approximately 12.9 acres. 

Lynden LPOE and Sumas LPOE 

Construction Sequencing Options 

The Final EIS evaluated two 

construction sequencing options, which 

could be implemented under the 

preferred action alternatives selected. 

Construction sequencing options are 

still being evaluated and will be 

determined during the design-build 

phase. 

Under the Concurrent Construction 

Option, both ports would remain open 

during construction. Pedestrian and 

POV access would be maintained 

through the ports but limits on the 

number of open processing lanes and 

shifting of POVs to commercial owned 

vehicle (COV) lanes for limited times 

may be necessary. COVs may be 

detoured at times to other ports to 

permit adequate space for continued 

POV processing. Under the Sequential 

Construction Option, all traffic, 

pedestrians, POVs, and COVs would be 

detoured from the Lynden LPOE during 

the majority of its construction. Once 

the Lynden LPOE was reopened, 

construction that impacts traffic would 

begin on the Sumas LPOE. The Sumas 

LPOE would remain open to pedestrians 

and POVs during construction to the 

greatest extent possible. COVs would be 

detoured from the Sumas LPOE to other 

LPOEs during portions of the 

construction period.
