2.2.2.1 Relocating NSMA to a New Combined Facility at NSF<br />
Anacostia (Anacostia Alternative - Preferred Alternative)<br />
After reviewing existing operational and environmental<br />
constraints as well as existing and planned land uses at NSF<br />
Anacostia, the Navy identified one site on the installation that<br />
could accommodate the proposed combined facility. This site,<br />
about three acres in size, is located northwest of the<br />
intersection of Brookley Avenue and Thomas Road (see Figures 2-2<br />
and 2-3).<br />
The northern part of the site consists of a parcel formerly<br />
occupied by Building 150, now demolished. A narrow, unused<br />
parking lot separates this parcel from a large, fenced vehicle<br />
storage yard to the north. The southern part of the site<br />
consists of a paved lot occupied by several temporary trailers<br />
that would be relocated to a location to be determined on NSF<br />
Anacostia to make room for the proposed combined facility. To<br />
the south, the site is separated from Thomas Road by Building<br />
387 and surrounding chain link fence enclosure. Building 387 is<br />
a semi-permanent building that would be moved to a location to<br />
be determined on NSF Anacostia to make room for the proposed<br />
combined facility. In addition to these relocations, the small<br />
stretch of Brookley Avenue fronting the site on the east would<br />
be realigned a short distance to the east to increase the amount<br />
of usable land (see Figure 2-3).<br />
Because it has been disturbed previously and is readily<br />
available for redevelopment, this site is the Navy’s preferred<br />
location for the proposed combined NSMA facility. Building the<br />
proposed facility at this location as shown in Figure 2-3 is the<br />
Navy’s Preferred Alternative.<br />
2.2.2.2 Relocating NSMA to a New Combined Facility on Bellevue<br />
Housing Property (Bellevue Alternative)<br />
Upon review, the northwestern corner of Bellevue Housing was<br />
found adequate to accommodate a combined facility for NSMA on a<br />
three-acre site fronting McGuire Avenue (See Figure 2-2). This<br />
area is within the Bolling AFB - NSF Anacostia perimeter fence.<br />
It is currently open and vegetated with grass and a few hardwood<br />
trees.<br />
The option of developing this parcel as an annex to NSF<br />
Anacostia was already considered in the Anacostia Annex Site<br />
Development Plan completed in December 2004. As indicated in<br />
Section 1.1.2 of this EA, NSF Anacostia and Bolling AFB are<br />
Alternatives 2-6
