Computational Research and Theory (CRT) Facility Project at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL); Alameda County, California

DOE issued a final EA that analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the relocation and consolidation of Advanced Scientific Computing Research funded research, and the construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning of a proposed new facility, the Computational Research and Theory Facility.

  • Final Environmental Assessment for Computational Research and Theory Facility Project, DOE/EA - 1700 (February 2011) (17.42 MB)
    This Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 USC 4321 et seq., to evaluate the potential environmental consequences associated with the DOE proposal to relocate and consolidate DOE Office of Science (DOE SC) Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) - funded Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) programs with other University of California (UC or University) LBNL/UC Berkeley programs focusing on computational and computer science research in a new facility on the LBNL site.
