USAMRIID facilities within the National
Interagency Biodefense Campus on Area
A of Fort Detrick and near the
biomedical research facilities of mission
partners, including the Agricultural
Research Service Foreign Disease-Weed
Research Unit of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases’
Integrated Research Facility, and the
Department of Homeland Security’s
National Biodefense Analysis and
Countermeasures Center. The existing
USAMRIID facilities on Area A would
be decommissioned and either
demolished and/or re-used following
occupancy of the new USAMRIID
facilities.
The construction would occur in two
stages. Stage 1 would provide
approximately 700,000 gross square feet
(gsf) of new building space for the
replacement of outdated and
compressed existing USAMRIID
facilities in order to sustain the current
mission and to expand medical test and
evaluation (T&E) capacity in support of
immediate Department of Defense (DoD)
and national demand. Stage 2 would
encompass approximately 400,000 gsf of
new building space for the balance of
USAMRIID’s expanded mission and for
additional capacity to meet intensified
national requirements for medical test
and evaluation in support of biodefense
research as well as to accommodate
increased collaborative efforts among
USAMRIID’s mission partners. In
addition, approximately 200,000 gsf of
the existing USAMRIID facilities may be
renovated and re-used for laboratory or
non-laboratory use, to be determined by
evolving biodefense requirements.
The significant issues analyzed in the
FEIS included: Safety of laboratory
operations and demolition of the
existing biocontainment laboratories;
public health and safety; handling,
collection, treatment, and disposal of
research wastes; water supply and other
utility requirements; traffic; pollution
prevention; and analysis of other risks
to include discussion of the risk of
terrorist attack. In addition, possible
adverse health and safety impacts on
laboratory workers in the proposed new
USAMRIID facilities and on nearby
residents during the operational phase
of the project were identified and
evaluated. The risks were deemed to be
negligible and mitigable through
adherence to ‘‘Biosafety in
Microbiological and Biomedical
Laboratories’’ (BMBL) and other
standards for safe operational practices.
Three alternatives were considered:
Construction and Operation of New
USAMRIID Facilities and
Decommissioning and Demolition of the

Jkt 211001

Existing USAMRIID Facilities on Area A
of Fort Detrick, Maryland (Alternate I),
Construction and Operation of New
USAMRIID Facilities and
Decommissioning and Partial
Demolition of the Existing USAMRIID
Facilities and Re-Use of the Remaining
Facilities on Area A of Fort Detrick,
Maryland (Alternate II), and the No
Action Alternative, under which the
proposed new USAMRIID facilities
would not be built and operated and the
existing USAMRIID facilities would not
be decommissioned and demolished
and/or re-used.
Following the end of the 30-day
waiting period, a decision will be made
by the U.S. Army as to which of the
alternatives will be implemented. This
decision will be based on consideration
of a number of factors. These factors
include, but are not limited to,
environmental considerations, laws and
regulations, mission needs (at Fort
Detrick as well as from a national
perspective), budget considerations,
schedule, and public concerns. A
Record of Decision will then be
executed.
The Commission encourages
electronic submission of protests in lieu
of paper using the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at

Louisiana and at the existing Panola
Station in Panola County, Texas, all as
more fully described in the application.
CEGT seeks issuance of the requested
authorizations by May 1, 2007 so that
facilities may be operable in time for the
2007–2008 winter heating season.
