Abstract: NASA is proposing the removal of 13 buildings at Langley Research Center (LaRC), located in Hampton, Virginia. Deconstruction of these facilities would begin in 2008 and continue into 2009. The buildings are abandoned or are in the process of being closed, and NASA has determined they are no longer needed. The deconstruction is intended to reduce the Center's infrastructure and allow LaRC to direct limited resources towards facilities that support NASA's overall mission, both currently and in the future. The project would reduce the footprint of LaRC facilities by approximately 3,493 square meters (37,603 square feet) and create additional green space at the Center. This Environmental Assessment evaluates the environmental impacts of the Proposed Action and the No-Action Alternative

This EA describes the potential environmental consequences resulting from a proposal to demolish Building 633. Historically used as a Seaplane Hangar, this obsolete, vacant facility will be replaced by parking. Seven resource categories received a thorough evaluation to identify potential impacts. An increase to safety risks during demolition would be mitigated by employing standard safety practices. Any noise associated with this action would be temporary and limited to daytime hours. Air Quality would not be significantly affected and any asbestos material would be removed prior to demolition. The action would have the potential to disturb ERP sites; a waiver from ACC would be necessary, which would identify appropriate control measures. Parking placed at the demo site would be consistent with the Base General Plan, and any transportation impacts would be minor. Cultural Resources would be adversely impacted; consultation with the SHPO has been completed and specifies the mitigation necessary for this action, to include documentation of the resource and other efforts. This action would have no significant effects on Physical Resources.

This environmental assessment (EA) describes the potential environmental consequences resulting from a proposal to demolish four houses in the LTA area. These houses, which are currently vacant, are inconsistent with base architectural standards and Air Force housing standards. Six resource categories received a thorough evaluation to identify potential impacts. Any noise associated with this action would be temporary and limited to daytime hours. Air quality would not be significantly affected, and no ozone-related emissions would occur from this action. Demolition of the houses would be consistent with the Langley General Plan, and any transportation impacts would be minor. As contributing members to the Langley Field Historic District, demolition of the houses would have an adverse effect on Cultural Resources. Consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office has been completed and specifies the mitigation necessary for this action, to include documentation of the resource and other efforts. This action would have no significant effects on ERP sites or water resources. No long term environmental consequences are anticipated.

This environmental assessment (EA) describes the potential environmental consequences for the demolition of five facilities on Langley AFB, to include the LOX storage facility, LOX maintenance facility, small gas engine repair shop, greenhouse, and the security police operations building. Seven resource categories received a thorough evaluation to identify potential impacts. An increase to safety risks during demolition would be mitigated by employing standard safety procedures. Any noise associated with work at these sites would be temporary and localized. These actions would have the potential to disturb portions of various ERP sites; a waiver from ACC would be necessary, which would identify appropriate control measures. Some of the sites are located near archeological resources. In the event of an unexpected discovery, work would halt the and proper coordination procedures would be completed. These actions would be consistent with the Langley General Plan, and any transportation impacts resulting from increased traffic would be minor and temporary. Air Quality and Physical Resources would not be significantly affected by this action. No long term environmental consequences are anticipated.
