CX-270340: Cybercore Integration Center and Collaborative Computing Center

The scope of the proposed action is for lease of facilities as described. For the proposed action, INL expects to invest $10 million dollars in improvements to the facilities, including installation of a new supercomputer. However, the federal money that may be invested accounts for around 11% of the total cost. Non-federal entities are funding the remaining 89%. The entire construction phase will be completed even if Federal funding is not provided for improvements to the facilities. Therefore, DOE (the Federal entity responsible for NEPA review) and INL (as the M&O Contractor) do not have discretion to make a decision about completing the construction of the proposed facilities. Facility construction and associated approvals and permits from regulatory authorities for construction are outside the scope of this analysis. Private developers and subcontractors are responsible to meet all applicable requirements including those related to air, cultural and biological resources (including those related to Threatened or Endangered species), wastewater, potable water, storm water, waste characterization and management (including industrial & hazardous wastes), floodplain regulations and assessment, and consultation with the Army Corps of Engineers for determining if the historic canal qualifies as waters of the U.S.
