DOE/EA-1592: Modernization of Facilities and Infrastructure for the Non-Nuclear Production Activities Conducted at the Kansas City Plant

Summary

The General Services Administration (GSA) as lead agency and DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) as cooperating agency jointly prepared DOE/EA-1592, which assesses the potential environmental impacts of a proposal to relocate certain non-nuclear component production and procurement activities conducted at NNSA’s Kansas City Plant to a smaller new facility.

In 2019, NNSA prepared a supplemental environmental assessment (DOE/EA-1592-S1) for relocation of certain Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC) operations to a leased, off-site facility that NNSA refers to as Building 23. Relocation of a portion of the light manufacturing and warehouse operations that currently occur in Buildings 2, 3, and 4 of the KCNSC would relieve existing space in Buildings 2, 3, and 4 to support increased workload. Building 23 is located approximately one mile east of the KCNSC main campus. Based on the supplemental EA, NNSA issued a finding of no significant impact.
