Environmental Assessment (EA) has
been prepared for a proposed new Job
Corps Center to be located in
Manchester, New Hampshire, and that
the proposed plan 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
February 15, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Any comment(s) are to be

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Copies of the EA are available to
interested parties by contacting Michael
F. O’Malley, Architect, Unit Chief of
Facilities, National Office of Job Corps,
U.S. Department of Labor, 200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This EA
summary addresses the proposed
construction of a new Job Corps Center
in Manchester, New Hampshire. The
site for the proposed Job Corps Center
consists of approximately 20 acres of
undeveloped land, within a 425.10 acre
parcel, owned by Manchester Housing
and Redevelopment.
The new center will require
construction of approximately eight new
buildings. The proposed Job Corps
Center will provide housing, training,
and support services for approximately
300 students. The current facility
utilization plan includes new
dormitories, a cafeteria building,
administration offices, recreation
facilities, and classroom facilities.
The construction of the Job Corps
Center on this proposed site would be
a positive asset to the area in terms of
environmental and socioeconomic
improvements, and long-term
productivity. The proposed Job Corps
Center will be a new source of
employment opportunity for people in
the Manchester metropolitan area. The
Job Corps program provides basic
education, vocational skills training,
work experience, counseling, health
care and related support services. The
program is designed to graduate
students who are ready to participate in
the local economy.
The proposed project may have an
impact on natural sources located
within the proposed site. Five separate
wetlands: two vernal pools, one isolated
depression, and two seasonal streams
E:\FR\FM\01FEN1.SGM
01FEN1
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 22 / Friday, February 1, 2008 / Notices
are located within the proposed project
area. The vernal pools are the highest
quality wetlands on the site and may
provide wildlife habitat. One vernal
pool is located just to the west of the
middle of the property and the other is
located near the southwest corner of the
property. The two seasonal streams are
approximately 100′ from the west and
east borders of the property. The
seasonal streams are too narrow steep
and ephemeral to sustain wetland
vegetation or wildlife habitat. The
isolated depression is too shallow and
ephemeral for use by wildlife.
Construction will comply with local,
state and federal regulations regarding
wetlands.
No state or federal threatened or
endangered species (proposed or listed)
have been identified on the subject
property.
The Job Corps Center construction
will not affect any existing historic
structures, as there are no historic or
archeologically sensitive areas on the
proposed property parcel.
Air quality and noise levels should
not be affected by the proposed
development project. Due to the nature
of the proposed project, it would not be
a significant source of air pollutants or
additional noise, except possibly during
construction of the facility. All
construction activities will be
conducted in accordance with
applicable noise and air pollution
regulations, and all pollution sources
will be permitted in accordance with
applicable pollution control regulations.
The proposed Job Corps Center is not
expected to significantly increase the
vehicle traffic in the vicinity.
The proposed project will not have
any significant adverse impact on the
surrounding water, sewer, and storm
water management infrastructure. The
proposed project will involve
construction of new water, sanitary and
storm sewer lines. The closest water
main to the proposed site is
approximately 1.1 miles from the site
down Dunbarton Road. The City sewer
line ends at the intersection of Liane
Street and Dunbarton Road,
approximately 1 mile from the proposed
site.
Public Service of New Hampshire will
provide the electricity for the site. This
is not expected to create any significant
impact to the regional utility
infrastructure.
The Job Corps Center is not expected
to result in a significant increase in
vehicular traffic, since many of the Job
Corps Center residents will either live at
the Job Corps Center or use public
transportation. While some Job Corps
Center students and staff may use
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
personal vehicles, their number would
not result in a significant increase in
vehicular traffic in the area. However,
the proposed Job Corps Center entrance
would be from North 60th Street. North
60th Street is a well-used, two-lane
thoroughfare. The Manchester Transit
Authority will provide public
transportation.
No significant adverse affects to local
medical, emergency, fire and police
services are anticipated. The primary
medical provider located closest to the
proposed Job Corps parcel is the
Catholic Medical Center, approximately
3.2 miles from the proposed Job Corps
Center. Security services at the Job
Corps will be provided by the center’s
security staff. Law enforcement services
are provided by the City of Manchester
Police Department—located
approximately 3.8 miles from the
proposed project site. The City of
Manchester Fire Department will
provide fire protection. Manchester Fire
Department Station #6, which operates
24 hours a day, is located approximately
3.1 miles from the site.
The proposed project will not have a
significant adverse sociological affect on
the surrounding community. Similarly,
the proposed project will not have a
significant adverse effect on
demographic and socioeconomic
characteristics of 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
Dunbarton Road, Manchester, New
Hampshire will not create any
significant adverse impacts on the
environment.
