The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to upgrade facilities and infrastructure at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Morgantown, WV, through acquisition of a 5-acre parcel of land adjoining the existing NETL property and construction of a new office building, parking garage, and replacement child-care facility. About seven existing office-trailer buildings, including trailers used for child-care, would be removed, and the occupants of all removed trailers would be relocated into either the existing or the new facilities. The new office building would be constructed on a portion of the existing 132-acre NETL property that currently provides a primary parking area for NETL employees, and the new child-care facility would be constructed on the property proposed for acquisition. Both new buildings would border Collins Ferry Road. A new 3-level parking garage would be constructed in the rear of the new office building, and a new access route from Collins Ferry Road into the NETL facilities would be provided between the new office building and the child-care facility. Stormwater runoff would be directed into a retention pond that would be constructed on the property proposed for acquisition. A visitor parking area would be constructed on the site of the existing child-care facility. Additionally, the NETL management is considering the relocation of the credit union to the area of the proposed land acquisition.
