Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland Campus Future Development

Under the Proposed Action evaluated in this EA, the proposed facilities and infrastructure envisioned in the current PNNL Richland Campus Master Plan would be constructed and operated on the 269 ha (664 ac) PNNL Richland Campus. DOE would construct and operate multiple buildings on the campus, including research laboratories, office space, support buildings, and associated infrastructure. The Proposed Action includes potential decontamination and demolition of buildings that DOE determines no longer support mission needs. Portions of the campus could be leased or transferred to other entities for development compatible with the PNNL Richland Campus Master Plan. Under the Proposed Action no activities would occur within the preservation designated area except actions related to the protection and enhancement of cultural and biological resources and continued use of the existing Navy haul road. Non-tribal public access within the preservation designated area would not be allowed without PNSO authorization.
