CX-035346: Small-scale Research and Development, Laboratory Operations and Pilot Projects

Proposed activities include: Siting, construction, modification, operation, and decommissioning of facilities for small-scale research and development projects, conventional laboratory operations (such as preparation of chemical standards and sample analysis), and small-scale pilot projects (generally less than 2 years) frequently conducted to verify a concept before demonstration actions, provided that construction or modification would be within or contiguous to a previously disturbed or developed area (where active utilities and currently used roads are readily accessible). Siting, construction, modification, operation, and decommissioning of facilities for indoor small-scale research and development projects and small-scale pilot projects using nanoscale materials in accordance with applicable requirements (such as engineering, worker safety, procedural, and administrative regulations) necessary to ensure the containment of any hazardous materials.
