This environmental checklist (EC) is being revised to address changes in the scope of construction of the Sample Preparation Laboratory (SPL) at the Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). This revision makes the following changes to the original scope:
• Increases size of the SPL from 44,000 to 49,000 ft2
• Changes from a masonry block structure to a steel structure with architectural pre-cast walls
• Removes requirements of Executive Order 13693
• Removes the requirement for the building to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) “Gold” certified
• Constructs a 26,000 ft2 gravel parking lot
• Installs a new security check point trailer, fencing, and pop-up security barrier between or immediately outside the existing security fences
• Supplies temporary power from facility power to the new security check point trailer, construction support trailers, and the SPL construction site.
