Environmental Assessment for install calibration laboratory, Building 12-52B, Pantex Plant, Amarillo, Texas
This Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared pursuant to implementing regulations to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires federal agencies to assess the environmental impacts of a proposed action to determine whether that action requires the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or if a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) can be issued. NEPA requires that an EA provide an interdisciplinary review of the proposed action in order to identify possible preferable alternatives and to identify mitigative measures that will prevent environmental impacts. If it is determined that the proposed action will have unavoidable significant environmental impact, then an EIS shall be prepared. The proposed project is for design and installation of a self-contained Modular Gage Calibration Laboratory in Building 12-52B at Pantex Plant, Amarillo, Texas. The operating contractor of Pantex Plant has been directed by the Sandia Laboratory at Albuquerque to acquire facilities capable of close temperature and humidity control for calibration of gages and tooling in support of production operations for weapons programs.
