SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 16, 2016 CDC published a 

Notice of Availability for the Final 

Environmental Assessment (2016 Final 

EA) and Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI) for the HHS/CDC’s 

Lawrenceville Campus Proposed 

Improvements 2015–2025 (81 FR 7800). 

The proposed improvements identified 

in the 2016 Final EA included (1) 

building demolition; (2) new building 

construction, including an 

approximately 12,000 gross square feet 

(gsf) Science Support Building, a new 

Transshipping and Receiving Area at 

approximately 2,500 gsf and two new 

Office Support Buildings at 

approximately 8,000 gsf and 6,000 gsf; 

(3) expansion and relocation of parking 

on campus; and (4) the creation of an 

additional point of access to the campus 

and pedestrian improvements. The 2016 

Final EA concluded that no significant 

impacts to the human or natural 

environment would result and HHS/ 

CDC issued a FONSI. 

Since completion of the 2016 Final 

EA and FONSI, HHS/CDC proposed 

changes to the Proposed Action. HHS/ 

CDC has revised the EA to include the 

installation of a photovoltaic system 

within the northern portion of the 

campus. The photovoltaic system would 

consist of a 249.9-kilowat (KW) groundmounted solar array covering an area of 

approximately 41,750 sf (0.99 acre). The 

proposed photovoltaic system would 

provide the Lawrenceville Campus with 

a renewable energy source in order to 

comply with federal renewable energy 

mandates. 

The revised EA evaluates the 

potential environmental impacts of the 

proposed photovoltaic system, along 

with the proposed improvements 

identified in the 2016 Final EA. 

Potential impacts of the No Build and 

the Build Alternative are evaluated on 

the following resource categories: 

Socioeconomics; land use; zoning; 

public policy; community facilities; 

transportation; air quality; noise; 

cultural resources; urban design and 

visual resources; natural resources; 

utilities; waste; and greenhouse gases 

and sustainability.
