Environmental Asssessment
January 2003

The EA considers two alternatives, Alternative A; a no-action alternative and Alternative B; an action alternative. Alternative B, the agency preferred alternative, proposes to rehabilitate the building, bringing it up to current safety and accessibility standards and to improve functionality. This would be achieved through interior and exterior repairs and rehabilitation actions including such things as replacing the roof shingles, replacing deteriorated wood siding and log rafters, creation of accessible exterior walkways, upgrade of the heating, ventilation and cooling system, modification of interior walls to create more office and storage space, removal of walls in some areas to return these spaces to their historic configuration and restoring the lobby to its original configuration. The proposed project is needed to address several management concerns including the fact that the building does not comply with current building code, safety standards, seismic and structural code, and accessibility requirements; exterior rustic lap siding and exposed log elements are severely deteriorated and in need of stabilization to prevent further loss of historic fabric; masonry needs repair; and aged plumbing and mechanical systems are outdated and inefficient. Public Comment period for the EA ended February 26, 2003.
