3.1.3 Lukeville Alternative 3 Lukeville Alternative 3 is at the same location as Lukeville Alternative 2. Instead of demolishing the 10 existing GSA-owned units, the units would be completely renovated into 20 one-bedroom duplexes within the existing house shells (Figure 3). This alternative would take advantage of existing infrastructure and utilities of the POE and provide new housing that is contiguous to existing POE housing. It would be built in one phase. This alternative restricts opportunities for future Lukeville POE expansion due to the limited size of the POE. Costs were determined to be comparatively low due to government ownership of the parcel, but the site could only accommodate 20 units, which is fewer than other alternatives. Lukeville Alternative 3 was eliminated from further consideration because of the negative impact of using POE property for housing when proposed expansion needs for the POE are currently unknown, and the remoteness of the location from the nearest town where goods and services for personnel are available. 3.1.4 Ajo Alternative 2 Ajo Alternative 2 proposes to use several adjacent and currently vacant, unimproved, privately owned and for-sale properties on Rasmussen Road in Ajo immediately east of the commercial strip along SR 85 (Figure 3). This alternative has convenient access to the local road network and is within easy walking distance of retail and commercial outlets in Ajo. This site is the largest property considered and could accommodate up to 100 units (a mixture of one-, two-, and threebedroom homes). The majority of development could occur in the initial phase. Due to the size of the proposed development and terrain, a sanitary waste pump station would be required. The unimproved properties would require extensive site drainage improvements that would reduce the area available for development. Utility infrastructure is available at the property lines but would have to be extended to serve the development. Environmental concerns are present due to extensive use as an illegal dump; the site is essentially natural, with extensive native vegetation, including the potential for the endangered Acuña cactus. Costs would be higher than the other alternatives due to topography, drainage issues, and need for a sanitary waste pump station. Ajo Alternative 2 was eliminated from further consideration because of the substantial costs to install drainage and utility infrastructure as well as potential additional environmental permitting associated with Clean Water Act Sections 401 and 404, potential impacts to endangered plant species, and cleanup of multiple unauthorized dump sites. 3.1.5 Ajo Alternative 3 Ajo Alternative 3 proposes the acquisition of 30 acres of undeveloped BLM-owned land adjacent to the Ajo Station in Why (Figure 3). The location would allow convenient access to work for the agents, a sense of community, and a relatively short drive to the schools, commerce, and culture of Ajo. The site could accommodate up to 100 units (mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units). No utilities are present at the site; utilities would need to be extended from the expanded Ajo Station to the south. Environmental Assessment 10 Ajo Housing Development Project
