The Los Alamos Research ParkAlso during 2000, LANL’s new Comprehensive Site Plan (CSP2000, LANL 2000d) was completed.CSP2000 is LANL’s guide for land development. The CSP2000 geographic information system identifiedapproximately 18,500 acres or two-thirds of LANL’s land resources as undesirable for development dueto physical and operational constraints. Of the remaining 9,300 acres (about one-third of the Laboratory’sland) over 5,500 acres have been developed, leaving about 4,000 acres as undeveloped. The majority of thisundeveloped land is located in TAs 58, 70, 71, and 74. Because of the remote locations and adjacent land usesof TAs 70, 71, and 74, they are not considered prime developable lands for Laboratory activities.The ER Project is unique from a land use standpoint. Rather than using land for development, the projectcleans up legacy wastes and makes land available for future use. Through these efforts, several large tractsof land will be made available for use by the Laboratory, Los Alamos County, or other adjacent landowners.For example, under Public Law 105-119, the DOE was directed to convey to Los Alamos County and transferto the Department of Interior, in trust for the Pueblo of San Ildefonso, lands not required to meet the nationalsecurity mission of DOE. Several tracts of land were identified for conveyance or transfer, and pendingcleanup by the ER Project, will be made available for future use.3.7.4 Land Resources—CY 2001CY 2001 was similar to the previous calendar years: the land acreage remained constant; the ongoingconstruction projects from CY 2000 continued; and the mitigation efforts and repairs from the Cerro GrandeFire of 2000 continued.3.7.5 Land Resources—CY 2002CY 2002 marks the first land transfers under Public Law 105-119. LANL began CY 2002 with 27,863acres 1 of land and ended the calendar year with approximately 25,654 acres. Table 3.7.5-1 shows that,although the land resources at LANL are distributed over 10 usage categories, all of the transferred land camefrom the reserve land category. Table 3.7.5-2 provides a summary of the land parcels transferred and to whomthey were transferred.Because of the land transfers, the distance to some site boundaries has decreased and a preliminaryassessment of the impact of the boundary changes on the accident analyses in the SWEIS has been performed.The full assessment is in Appendix E and the conclusions of the assessment are stated below.1 Previously, the SWEIS Yearbooks have listed Laboratory acreage at 27,816 acres. The acreage numbers being used here are from the TYCSP (LANL2001d). The boundary survey will determine the correct number.SWEIS Yearbook—2002 3-25
