6210 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 22 / Friday, February 1, 2008 / Notices 

The proposed Ottumwa JCC will be 

new construction, which will utilize a 

campus setting. The facility will consist 

of seven buildings, which will support 

approximately 300 resident students 

with 104 staff members. The proposed 

buildings include an administrative/ 

wellness center/maintenance building, 

two dormitories, an educational/ 

vocational building, a cafeteria/ 

warehouse building, a student services/ 

welcome center building and a 

recreation building. The proposed site 

also includes outdoor recreation fields 

and courts and associated paved parking 

areas and drives. The gross area of all of 

the proposed buildings will be 

approximately 150,000 square feet. 

The proposed Ottumwa JCC is not 

expected to have any negative impact on 

the demographics of the surrounding 

neighborhoods. The proposed Ottumwa 

JCC is expected to have a positive 

impact on the lives of disadvantaged 

youths living in the Ottumwa and 

southeast Iowa areas. The purpose of the 

JCC is to provide basic education, 

vocational skills training, health care, 

and work experience, to allow 

disadvantaged persons from Ottumwa 

and surrounding communities to 

improve their position in the workplace 

and society. The goal of the JCC is to 

allow the disadvantaged to obtain a 

better education and to allow 

participants to reach a level of economic 

security above the poverty line. If these 

goals are reached, the JCC will have a 

positive impact by increasing the 

current educational and employment 

levels in the surrounding communities. 

No proposed or listed endangered or 

threatened species, critical habitat or 

wetlands are known to exist within the 

proposed project area. The proposed 

project is not expected to have an 

adverse effect on any archaeological or 

historical properties since there are no 

documented historic or cultural sites 

within a one mile radius. 

The JCC is also not expected to have 

an impact on the overall population 

numbers in the community based on the 

estimated 300 students that will live at 

the facility. City services, such as Police, 

Fire and Emergency Services will not 

expect additional stress to their current 

capabilities since these services are 

currently providing respective services 

to the area. Utility services, such as 

water, electric, gas and sanitary sewer, 

would be able to absorb the additional 

loads from the JCC with little to no 

impact. The development of the 

property will involve construction of 

new water, sanitary and storm sewer 

lines. The proposed JCC is not expected 

to have negative impacts on air quality 

in the area, since it does not involve 

industrial or commercial processes. 

Temporary aesthetic impacts and 

minor noise impacts are anticipated 

during construction activities. Aesthetic 

impacts will be mitigated with the 

development of the property and the 

noise impacts will be short-termed and 

not significant. 

The proposed Ottumwa JCC 

development is not expected to result in 

a significant increase in vehicular 

traffic, since many of the JCC students 

will either live in the dormitories or use 

public transportation. While some JCC 

students may use personal vehicles, the 

roadway infrastructure in the area is 

capable of absorbing the additional 

traffic. 

Based on the information gathered 

during the preparation of the NEPA 

Environment Assessment, no 

environmental concerns were found to 

exist on the proposed JCC site other 

than the proposed site is considered 

‘‘prime farmland’’ that is currently being 

used for row crop farming. Based on the 

size of the proposed development and 

the significant amount of defined prime 

farmland in the surrounding areas, the 

proposed development of the property 

is not considered a significant impact to 

the agricultural output for the area. 

The alternatives considered in the 

preparation of this FONSI were as 

follows: (1) No Action; and (2) Continue 

Project as Proposed. The No Action 

alternative was not selected. The U.S. 

Department of Labor’s goal of improving 

the Job Corps Program by improving the 

learning environment at Job Corps 

Centers would not be met under this 

alternative. Due to the suitability of the 

proposed site for establishment of a new 

Job Corps Center, and the absence of any 

identified significant adverse 

environmental impacts from locating a 

Job Corps Center on the subject 

property, the ‘‘Continue Project as 

Proposed’’ alternative was selected. 

Based on the information gathered 

during the preparation of the EA, no 

environmental liabilities, current or 

historical, were found to exist on the 

proposed Job Corps Center site. The 

construction of the Job Corps Center at 

College Avenue and 6th Street, 

Ottumwa, Iowa will not create any 

significant adverse impacts on the 

environment.

U.S.C. 2273) the Department of Labor 

herein presents summaries of 

determinations regarding eligibility to 

apply for trade adjustment assistance for
