The purpose of the proposed action is to improve stormwater runoff and address stormwater leaks into the fire station at the Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) and to improve drainage west of building MFC-713. At present, stormwater can accumulate on the western side of the fire station (building MFC-725), and leak into the building. Storm water is also infiltrating the walls through improperly installed siding on the north, west, and south sides of the building. The proposed action would be completed in two phases. Phase I of the project is to repair the damaged walls, and replace the siding, doors, and window casings, as necessary to seal and protect the building interior. Phase II will focus on improving the stormwater drainage away from the building, which may require demolition/replacement of portions of the concrete and asphalt pads, grading of the area to slope away from the building, and installation of other drainage systems such as piping and depressions.
