The Specific Manufacturing Capability (SMC) is paved with asphalt within the facility fence. The asphalt paving has drainage issues and shows signs of deterioration. Better stormwater drainage would eliminate ponding that can be a safety hazard. The proposed action would remove and replace most of the pavement and patch and/or seal small areas of pavement not in need of replacement inside the fenced area at SMC. New pavement would also be installed along the east side of building Test Area North (TAN)-629. In areas where replacement of pavement is proposed, all concrete manhole collars would also be replaced. In addition, a new drainage plan would be designed that would include a new trench drain that would extend from the south to the north end of the area between buildings TAN-679 and TAN-629. The SMC area is excluded from the stormwater corridor.
