Notice of Floodplain and Wetlands Involvement for Transfer of the Department of Energy Grand Junction Office to Non-DOE Ownership

Краткое содержание

The Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to transfer the 56.4 acres and approximately 35 structures that comprise the DOE Grand Junction Office (GJO) to non-DOE ownership. A portion of the facility is located in the 100-year floodplain of the Gunnison River and there are several jurisdictional wetlands located within the property boundary. The facility is located in Mesa County, Colorado. In accordance with 10 CFR part 1022, DOE will prepare a floodplains and wetlands assessment and will perform this proposed action in a manner that will avoid or minimize potential harm to or within the affected floodplain and wetlands. The assessment will be conducted in conjunction with an Environmental Assessment (EA) that analyzes the potential environmental affects of the transfer of the property.
