The US Environmental Protection Agency's Facilities Guide has been prepared by the Facilities Management
and Services Division (FMSD) of the Office of Administration to provide EPA employees and other users with
current information on the facilities used by the Agency in the conduct of its mission.
In addition to providing a listing of EPA facilities, the Guide is intended to simplify retrieval of information. It is
structured so that buildings can be identified; a) by location.- city and state, or Region; b) by assignment to
Headquarters, Region, or Program; and c) by primary use: office, laboratory, etc.
The Guide includes basic information such as a facility's address, its size, current lease status, and controlling
authority, i.e., GSA (the US General Services Administration) or EPA. For major Agency facilities, such as the
Headquarters, Regional Offices, and primary research laboratories, photographs and site maps are provided.
Information on the approximate number of persons employed at each facility is also provided.
This 2001 Guide updates the Facilities Guide published in 1999, and includes the real estate changes that have
occurred since that time. However, because of the dynamic nature of the Agency, the state of its facilities is
subject to ongoing change. The Agency constantly realigns and consolidates its buildings and real estate
needs to meet its mission requirements. Some changes that are in the process of implementation are noted
in the narrative,- other changes may be contemplated but have not been described because construction or
implementation may not yet be committed.
A few notes about some of the terms used in this guide:
EPA facilities are occupied under various arrangements. These include:
EPA Owned Examples include several of the research laboratories, such as those in Athens, Georgia,
Duluth, Minnesota, and Narragansett, Rhode Island.
EPA Leased The Agency pays rent directly to the landlord. Where known, the lease expiration date has
been noted. Two facilities in North Carolina have this arrangement, as do the Houston, Texas
and Richmond, California facilities.
GSA Owned Under the control of GSA. Agency offices located in federal buildings or courthouses are
often under this type of arrangement. In many cases, EPA may share the building with other
agencies, and may share with those agencies common facilities such as food service, child
care centers, fitness centers, and similar amenities.
Nationwide Facilities
-------
GSA Leased The Agency pays rent to the General Services Administration, which, in turn, leases the
building from a private owner.
Personnel Numbers of employees have been estimated for each facility, based on current available
data. Numbers include other than full-time EPA employees, such as Stay-in Schools (SISs),
Senior Environmental Employees (SEEs), and on-site contractor personnel.
Areas The space occupied is shown in rentable square feet (rsf), unless otherwise noted. Common-
use spaces shared with other agencies have not been included.
Rentable Square Feet is the usable area of a space with its associated share of common
space. GSA leased and owned buildings are shown in rentable square feet.
Usable Square Feet is the occupied space, not including common space. EPA leased and
owned spaces are shown in usable square feet.
Overview of the EPA Space Inventory in 2001 :
The Environmental Protection Agency occupies approximately 8.9 million square feet of space, housing
approximately 25,500 personnel in 38 states. EPA facilities are comprised of offices and laboratories in space
that is: GSA-leased (49%), GSA-owned (29%), EPA-leased (5%), or EPA-owned (17%). In addition to the
Headquarters facilities located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, the other predominant facilities
include the 10 regional offices and the two major research centers in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
and Cincinnati, Ohio.
EPA has ten regions across the United States, each of which has a regional headquarters office and several
laboratories. These laboratories perform a broad range of scientific and technological activities that range
from enforcement and technical services to development and fundamental research. The roles and missions
of these facilities focus on environmental problems from a variety of sources, and their ecological and health-
related impacts.
The following Is a description of the different types of EPA facilities:
Headquarters EPA Headquarters in Washington, DC accommodates the Agency's policy making,
management, administration and integrating functions for a variety of research,
monitoring, standard setting, and enforcement activities pertaining to the protection
of the environment.

How to Use this Guide
The EPA Regional offices conduct activities in support of EPA programs and manage
environmental policies in the states that comprise the region. The regions provide
administrative support for the development and implementation of comprehensive
and integrated environmental protection programs.
The 10 regional labs are dedicated to the support of regional programs primarily
through the provision of laboratory analytical support, quality oversight, and technical
activities in support of enforcement and compliance.
There are two major research centers in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina and
Cincinnati, Ohio. These centers provide laboratory and office space for several
Program offices. In addition, several Programs have their own labs, which engage in
a variety of activities, ranging from basic research to analysis and enforcement
support. The Office of Research and Development (ORD) labs engage in
fundamental research, application-driven research, development, and technical
assistance on an as-needed basis. The other program labs support regulatory needs
through development of standards, laboratory analytical services, enforcement and
compliance activities, monitoring, and technical assistance services.
The Guide organizes the various EPA facilities by geographic region. This means that various organizational
components, for example, ORD Laboratories, are included within the Region that they are located in, even
though the particular component may be responsible to the Program's Assistant Administrator at
Headquarters, rather than to the Regional Office.
At the end of this guide, there is an Index of Facilities that lists each facility name and address, programs
located there; lease/ownership status,- estimated number of personnel; facility area,- and primary use.
Where a facility is assigned to a particular Program (or Programs), the Index identifies the particular Program
Office (by acronym) responsible for the operations at that facility. Refer to the list of acronyms in the front of
the guide.

Green Buildings Vision & Policy Statement
From EPA's Environmental Procurement Strategy, August 1995, EPA200-R-95-001
In order to maintain leadership in environmental protection, EPA must lead by example. Through sustainable
design and construction of EPA facilities, EPA attempts to model responsible environmental behavior and to
help create the framework within which the building industry as a whole can shift toward practices which will
promote "Green Buildings."
Green Buildings are structures that incorporate the principles of sustainable design - design in which the
impact of a building on the environment will be minimal over the lifetime of that building. Green Buildings
incorporate principles of energy and resource efficiency; practical applications of waste reduction and
pollution prevention; good indoor air quality and natural light to promote occupant health and productivity,-
and transportation efficiency in design and construction, during use and reuse.
Agency facilities, both new and existing, should serve as models for a healthy workplace with minimal
environmental impacts. To achieve this goal, EPA utilizes both innovative "state-of-the-art" technologies and
holistic approaches to design, construction, renovation and use. EPA works with the private sector to identify
opportunities for innovation and help create markets for both products and design concepts. Important
considerations in the design, construction and use of EPA owned and leased facilities include the following:
~ Site planning that utilizes resources naturally occurring on the site such as solar and wind energy,
natural shading, native plant materials, topography and drainage.
• Location and programs to optimize use of existing infrastructure and transportation options, including
the use of alternative work modes such as telecommuting and teleconferencing.
- Use of recycled content and environmentally preferable construction materials and furnishings,
consistent with EPA Procurement Guidelines.
- Minimization of energy and materials waste throughout the buildings life cycle, from design through
demolition or reuse.
Design of the building envelope for energy efficiency.
~ Use of materials and design strategies to achieve optimal indoor environmental quality, particularly
including light and air, to maximize health and productivity.
Operation systems and practices that support an integrated waste management system.
Recycling of building materials at demolition.
• Management of water as a limited resource in site design, building construction and building
operations.
Utilization of solar and other renewable technologies, where appropriate.
Evaluation of trade-offs is an important component of the design of Green Buildings. Where the goals of a
Green Building are contradictory (for example increased ventilation vs. increased energy efficiency), the trade-
offs are evaluated in a holistic framework to achieve long-term benefits for the environment. Also, the
physical considerations are balanced with other policy objectives such as environmental justice, particularly
with regards to site location. EPA anticipates that there may not always be single answers to recurring building
issues, but it adopts a consistent approach to evaluating all buildings for sustainable design considerations
The following pages highlight examples of Green Building Practices and Sustainable Design, through which,
EPA is "Leading by Example."

New Headquarters Complex
EPA was created in 1970 and set up Headquarters operations at Waterside Mall in southwest
Washington, DC. The growth of the Agency eventually resulted in the occupation of over ten
buildings in the Washington Metropolitan Area. In 1981 plans were set in motion to consolidate
EPA's fragmented Headquarters and in 1993, GSA announced that EPA would occupy Ariel Rios, US
Customs, ICC, and Connecting Wing buildings, all part of the Federal Triangle Complex in northwest
Washington. In 1993 EPA also began plans to occupy space in the new Federal Triangle Building
(later renamed the Ronald Reagan Building), which was under construction, and would be
completed in 1997.
The EPA move into the Federal Triangle Headquarters facilities has been a significant challenge.
Time constraints and tenant-specific renovations for another federal agency complicated EPA's
consolidation efforts. In the Ronald Reagan Building the New Headquarters Team had to work with
a space that was already designed and altered to reflect EPA's mission and environmental goals.
The other four Federal Triangle Buildings were historic structures and presented the challenge of
modernizing spaces without disturbing historically significant features. The focus settled on
intervention strategies, that ensured that the Agency's functional and mission requirements were
met. Even in these complicated, fast-paced projects in which EPA was not initially a primary tenant,
the Agency has been successful in incorporating numerous Green Building features. For example,
EPA has:
Established a process to review materials and material safety data sheet information to
choose alternative materials with low off-gassing potential,
- Developed an indoor air quality guidance document for use by the construction contractor
to avoid potential adverse effects from construction on adjacent occupied areas,
Specified low-VOC paints, crystalline silica-free joint compound, and 4-PC free carpets,
- Recommended refinements to HVAC, air distribution, filtering, (i.e., pre- and post-filters),
and exhaust aspects of the buildings,
- Incorporated use of operable windows,
Chosen systems furniture using environmental selection criteria (including emissions
testing) and
Incorporated a Green Lights lighting
design, specified low-flow plumbing
devices, and required recycled materials
in the base building and tenant spaces.
These and other building refinements will
ensure a healthful, productive workplace for all
EPA employees. As the project progresses, the
planning team will continue to develop space
plans and make design choices that reflect the
latest sustainable design practices.

The New England Regional Laboratory
Region 1
In September, 1999 EPA broke ground for its New England Regional Laboratory in Chelmsford,
Massachusetts. Like other recent EPA construction projects, this laboratory will incorporate
numerous environmental attributes in its design and construction. When constructed, this
laboratory will be eligible for a medal rating from the US Green Building Council's Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) program. A medal rating is rare for a laboratory because
the LEED™ criteria were developed for office buildings that have significantly lower energy and air
flow requirements than laboratories.
The laboratory's environmental features cover the following areas: site and building planning,
energy efficiency, indoor air quality, water efficiency, and recycling and use of recycled-content
materials. Beyond those measures, EPA continues to look for more ways to "green" its new labs.
Site and Building Planning
Over time, laboratories invariably need to be reconfigured or expanded to meet changing research
needs. The Chelmsford laboratory will include the following features to enable quick, cost- and
material-efficient modifications.-
Electrical and mechanical systems, including waste piping, will be fed down two central
spines and continue past the last module to allow easy extension into expansion space
without taking other laboratories off-line.
• Foundation walls will be extended beyond the end walls and will feature detailing to
facilitate expansion without disrupting lab operations.
- At the end of its useful life, the majority of the building construction materials can be
captured, separated and recycled at demolition.
Recycling and Use of Recycled-Content Materials
The following recycled-content materials and recycling protocols are currently in place:
- Wallboard containing synthetic and recycled gypsum will be used. Wallboard trimmings will
be reclaimed and used for landscaping purposes.
Recycled-content metal studs and fiberglass batt insulation will be used.
- Carpet will be selected based on its recycled content, low VOC adhesive compatibility, and
recycle-ability.
- Wall tile will contain post-industrial and post-consumer glass, and ceiling tile will have at
least 60% recycled-content material.
- Construction waste will be separated and recycled to the extent possible.
Fly-ash modified concrete will be used along with locally available brick and masonry.

Indoor Air Quality
A healthy indoor environment is a critical safety concern in a laboratory setting. It also increases
occupant productivity and comfort and provides a sense of health and well-being. This building will
include the following features to help protect indoor air quality:
- Air intake locations will be sited away from exhaust equipment and vehicular traffic to avoid
contamination.
- Ultra-low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints, sealants, and adhesives will be used and
formaldehyde and other potential indoor air contaminants will be strictly controlled in other
construction materials.
~ Corrosion inhibitors in HVAC systems will not contain volatile amines and the moisture level
of the systems will be controlled to minimize bacterial contaminants.
Energy Efficiency
The building interior and exterior, including all system components, are being designed to minimize
energy consumption through the use of the following:
- State-of-the-art automation systems.
~ High-efficiency motors and variable flow pumping systems.
- Water-chilled coolers.
- Daylight dimmers, adjustable occupancy sensors, skylights, and energy efficient electronic
light ballasts.
• Variable air volume HVAC systems with the capability to reduce air flow to four air changes
per hour.
• Low-emittance (low-E) windows.
- High insulation ratings for the walls, roof and windows.
- Active and passive solar design.
Water Efficiency
The following water-efficiency measures will be employed:
~ Electronic sensors for plumbing fixtures will be installed in restrooms.
- Xeriscape landscaping (planting of native tree & shrub species) will limit outdoor water use.
~ Water from roof drainage will be used to replenish wetlands or irrigate the limited grassy
areas. Runoff from the parking lot and other pervious areas will be treated, and, if possible,
used for irrigation.

Green Solicitation
Region 3 Headquarters, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The EPA has attempted to procure buildings with "green" features through various strategies. While it
may be simpler to incorporate its numerous requirements into government-owned buildings, EPA
has also acquired leased space through the incorporation of environmental criteria into its
Solicitation for Offers.
The 1997 solicitation by the General Services Administration to acquire leased space for EPA's Region
Three headquarters was the first such procurement where a serious and concerted effort was made
to seek space meeting the Agency's environmental standards. In this procurement, for the first
time, space leased and fitted out for EPA use was required to comply with the various environmental
criteria that are of special concern to the Agency; particularly in the areas of indoor air quality,
energy conservation, and ozone depletion. The solicitation for offers specifically promulgated the
use of environmentally preferred building products and materials, such as materials using post-
consumer recycled materials, and also specified the use of low-VOC products in the tenant fit-out.
Energy-conserving lighting fixtures and lighting system controls utilizing occupancy sensors were a
requirement of the SFO.

Multi-Partner SOFC Demonstration Project
Region 3 Laboratory, Fort Meade, Maryland
A MegaWatt (MW) Class SOFC/Gas Turbine Hybrid Power System, developed by Siemens
Westinghouse, will be demonstrated at EPA's new Environmental Science Center at Fort George G.
Meade, Maryland. The total cost to supply the system is estimated to be $24 million. The project
began in April 2000 with the preliminary design phase; currently funding is also being finalized.
Installation and startup is scheduled to be completed in 2002.
The SOFC/Gas Turbine Power System will consist of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electric power
generator of 800 kW capacity integrated with a small gas turbine of 200 kW capacity, for a total
output of approximately 1 MW. The system will be air cooled, water independent, and will be
unattended during normal operation.
The highest electrical efficiency ever demonstrated in a power plant, and the lowest emissions of
any fossil fuel technology are expected. This demonstration will showcase SOFC's cutting edge,
efficient and clean power production technology, and will:
- Achieve an efficiency of 60% versus 25-35% for similarly sized conventional technologies.
Cut in half CO2 emissions versus similarly sized conventional technologies.
- Achieve zero SOx emissions, and reduce NOx emissions by a factor of 40 or more over
conventional technologies.

Green Considerations in the Design of a New Laboratory-Office Complex
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
EPA's new one million square foot facility at Research Triangle Park has been designed and
constructed to reflect the Agency's environmental mission and to demonstrate its concern not only
for the workplace environment for its employees, but also for the environmental impact that the
new building complex would have on the surrounding area. To minimize any adverse impact, every
aspect of the design, the selection of building materials and products, and of the construction
process was examined. The finished facility is one that incorporates every appropriate means to
provide a healthy and pleasant workplace for EPA employees, while keeping negative
environmental effects to a minimum.
To make the complex as "green" as possible, some of the aspects discussed below were considered
and implemented: >
- The EPA building complex, which occupies about 132 acres of a 500-acre federally owned
property, faces a 23-acre lake, and which is a neighbor to laboratory facilities of the National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, has been thoughtfully sited to minimize its
impact on the terrain. Excavation was kept to a minimum, efforts were made to retain many
• of the old-growth trees and to reduce the removal of existing vegetation, and the existing
watershed was protected.
- Treatment of storm water runoff has been enhanced by avoiding the use of curb and
gutter, and using instead natural biofiltration as well as bioretention facilities using porous
zones planted with trees and shrubs that absorb and break down contaminants from heavy
rains. The landscaping scheme utilizes native plants that do not require a costly irrigation
system.
- The access road to the new facility, originally designed as a four-lane divided roadway with
a 20-foot wide parallel utility easement, was reduced to two lanes, and the utilities were
buried beneath the roadway. This change effected substantial savings in cost and saved
about 20 acres of trees and vegetation.

-------
Sustainable Design
Green Considerations, continued
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
As with any EPA facility, energy conservation is an important consideration. At RTP, the
design scheme, which places offices and laboratories around large, three-story atria,
provides several energy-conserving benefits: natural light penetrates deeply into the
building; the external surface area of the building is reduced substantially, thereby
decreasing demands on the heating and cooling systems (as well as reducing costs for
exterior thermal glazing and other exteriors finish materials), and the atria provides a large
volume of preconditioned air, thus reducing costs of tempering the air.
In addition to incorporating passive design techniques the design team also employed
other energy savings strategies. These included: increase of fume hood efficiency by
designing a centralized air flow system to reduce the number of exhaust fans, decision to
share the NIEHS utility plant instead of building an independent one, installation of a state-
of-the-art building automation system to monitor and control mechanical and electrical
operations, implementation of the Green Lights Program, and use of high performance
window glazing.
Although EPA went to great lengths in applying energy efficient strategies, it also optimized
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) features. The design team produced a 150-page IAQ Facilities
Operation Manual that articulates IAQ procedures during construction and maintenance.
The manual contained procedures to eliminate /
as many contaminants as possible through the
following: material selection; construction
sequencing; provision of appropriate air
exchange rates; installation of proper air
filtration systems; and through test models the
determination of the best direct exhaust stack
heights to minimize exhaust re-entry, etc.

Energy Savings Performance Contract
National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory, Ann Arbor, Michigan
EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan is the first EPA facility
upgraded using the Labs 21 Approach*. Through a comprehensive energy upgrade, EPA will reduce
this 150,000 square foot laboratory's annual energy usage by 68 percent.
EPA used an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC), a third party financing technique, to make
major mechanical system upgrades. An ESPC allows EPA to use energy cost and maintenance
savings to finance mechanical system replacements and improvements. Under the ESPC approach,
complete system upgrades can be planned and implemented in a single contract. The alternative, a
piecemeal upgrade of the facility spread out over a 5 to 10 year period, would not have enabled EPA
to realize the same level of savings. Through this ESPC, a private-sector contractor agreed to pay for
all necessary upgrades (approximately $10 million), provide a guaranteed efficiency improvement of
66 percent, and operate, maintain, and replace the equipment through the life of the contract. In
exchange, EPA agreed to pay the contractor the lab's energy and water efficiency savings for 23
years.
Specific upgrades at this OAR lab include:
- Installing high-efficiency, double-effect, gas fired, chiller/heaters that do not use
chloroflurocarbon or hydro-chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants. This replaces old high-demand
chillers as well as low pressure steam boilers.
Replacing all single pass, roof-top air handling units with units utilizing various
combinations of heat recovery, including air re-circulation and enthalpy recovery wheels.
Operating a state-of-the-art fuel cell to offset the facility's energy demand. Waste heat from
the fuel cell is used within the plant when feasible.
Replacing the existing chemical water treatment system with an ozone water treatment
system.
Using a single direct digital control unit to control and monitor all of the new systems.
Overall, energy savings from this effort will be substantial. EPA is expecting to reduce annual energy
consumption by 4.5 million kilowatt hours for a cost savings of $128,000**. In addition, the Agency is
projecting demand savings of 22,780 kilowatts a year for a value of $437,000**. Natural gas
consumption will be reduced by 429 therms, saving $205,000**, and water consumption will be
reduced by 25 million gallons, saving $101,000**. These annual reductions significantly cut the
laboratory's emissions and finance the redesign and replacement of the mechanical systems.
* The Labs 21 Approach is an effort by EPA to encourage the Federal Government and private sector to design and operate
labs in an energy efficient manner
* * Monetary values of expected savings are based on utility prices at the time of this Guide's printing (January 2001)

Energy Savings Performance Contract
Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Center, Ada, Oklahoma
EPA determined that significant energy reductions would occur in its laboratories only by combining
its use of renewable energy with energy efficient technologies managed through advanced sensing
and control. For ORD's Ada laboratory, EPA pursued the application of advanced geothermal
technologies as its renewable energy technology. This was done through an Energy Savings
Performance Contract.
The application of this technology in a laboratory setting may be among the first of its kind. Johnson
Controls, Inc., the energy services company for this project, will install EPA's project, that will include
a geothermal field with over two hundred 250 feet deep wells using water-to-water and water-to-air
heat pumps, managed through advanced digital controls. The project will incorporate the most
aggressive fume hood / HVAC management system yet to be applied in a laboratory.
The project is expected to provide energy reductions exceeding 60%, which equates to a reduction
in electricity use of 1.7 million kilowatt hours per year, and more than 39 million kilowatts for the
expected life of the system. Additionally, the combustion of natural gas is nearly eliminated from
the facility. This equates to 128,000 therms per year, and more than 2.9 million therms during the life
of the system. In addition, through the use of lower maintenance geothermal systems, appreciable
savings will be realized through reduced O&M costs. EPA estimates that the laboratory will operate
at less than one dollar per square foot for energy.
The direct environmental benefits from implementing this project at a small (70,000 square foot
facility) laboratory are:
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2): 1,980,573 pounds per year (source) from electricity use; 1,003,982
pounds per year (site) from the elimination of natural gas combustion; a total of 68.6 million
pounds eliminated during the useful life of this system (20 years).
- Sulfur Dioxide (SOx): 20,848 pounds per year (source) from electricity use; 463,573 pounds
per year (site) from the elimination of natural gas combustion,- a total of 11 million pounds
eliminated.
- Nitrous Oxide (NOx): 8,686 pounds per year (source) from electricity use,- 743 thousand
pounds per year (site) from the elimination of natural gas combustion; a total of over
17,282.066 pounds eliminated.
Carbon Monoxide (CO): With an estimated five pounds generated-per therm consumed,
approximately 640,000 pounds per year (site) will be eliminated for a total reduction of
84,000,000 pounds eliminated.
- Water (H2O): Reduced by over 80% for a 938,000 gallon reduction during the life of this
system.

A Gold Medal Performance
Region 7 Headquarters, Kansas City, Kansas
In late 1995, downtown Kansas City, Kansas had become somewhat physically distressed remnants
of a once proud and vibrant metropolitan area. Here, the government saw an opportunity to
participate in a revitalization...to lead by example, and create a "jewel" to be seen by the "neighbor
across the river" making a statement and becoming the gateway to a new beginning.
In March 1996, development proposals were submitted to the government in response to the
Solicitation For Offers. By mid year of 1996, Koll Development Company had been awarded the
project and began moving forward with the design from Langdon Wilson Architects.
Situated looking southeast across the river to spectacular views of downtown Kansas City, Missouri,
the building offers a transitional sensitivity from residential neighborhoods to a commercial district
while still maintaining a strong "Gateway" impression. The building integrated site topography to
soften visual impact; reduced disturbance to site conditions and surroundings; and effectively
oriented the building to accommodate natural light and solar efficiencies.
The design was intended to emphasize the EPA overall mission of enhancement and sustainability
to the environment. To begin addressing environmental responsibility, the site chosen is a
"Brownfield" site (property that is "...abandoned and/or underutilized and has...an actual or
perceived threat of environmental contamination.."). The EPA actively encourages redevelopment
of such sites.
Special design considerations were introduced, including indirect lighting, recessed windows for
increased shading coefficients, outdoor terraces for employee interaction, a large green atrium with
trees, a fountain and a skylight for increased natural lighting.
Kansas is a participant in a voluntary program known as "Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design" (LEED™) promoted by the US Green Building Council in San Francisco, California. The US
Green Building Council says the following about the LEED's™ process:
The LEED Green Building"' Rating System is a priority program of the US Green
Building Council. It is a voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven building rating
system based on existing proven technology that evaluates environmental
performance from a whole building perspective over a building's life cycle. LEED™
is intended to be a definitive standard for what constitutes a green building.

The US Green Building Council's LEED Green Building™ Rating System is based on accepted energy
and environmental principles that strikes a reasonable balance between known effective practices
and emerging concepts. Unlike many other rating systems currently in existence, the development
of the LEED Green Building™ Rating System has been open to public scrutiny and has involved the
participation of virtually all segments of the building industry including product manufacturers,
environmental groups, building owners, utilities, state and local government, research institutions,
professional societies, colleges and universities. LEEDm is a self-certifying system designed for rating
new and existing commercial, institutional, and high-rise residential buildings. It is a feature-
oriented system where credits are awarded to applicants that earn two-thirds of the available credits
and meet all prerequisites. The system is designed to be comprehensive in scope, yet simple in
operation."
The EPA Regional Headquarters earned credits based on complying with criteria in areas such as
energy efficiency, indoor air quality, water quality, landscaping/exterior design, recycling and other
environmentally sensitive categories. Architects, engineers, contractors, governmental consultants
and various other sources combined their ingenuity and expertise to support the validity of the
criteria as it related to the EPA Regional Headquarters. Current documentation for this project
supports 34 out of the 44 LEED1" criteria for application for a gold award.

Master Planning
EPA's Facility Planning & Design Standards
Since its inception in 1970, EPA has grown at an average rate of 3.5% annually, with a parallel growth
in its facilities. This growth, together with the need to upgrade laboratory facilities, led to the need
for consistent space planning guidelines to ensure that all EPA employees are housed in safe and
efficient buildings that help them meet EPA's goals. To meet this need, the EPA Facilities Manual
combines three elements - Space Guidelines; Architecture, Engineering and Planning Guidelines,-
and the Facility Safety, Health and Environmental Management Manual -that describe the standards
for acquiring, building and renovating EPA space.
The Space Guidelines cover a range of topics, including
space distribution, environmental considerations,
suggestions for planning and design, space acquisition
procedures and selection of materials and furniture.
EPA's goal is to achieve consistent quality office space for
all its employees. The Guidelines have accordingly
incorporated environmental considerations including
indoor air quality, energy efficiency, resource
conservation and pollution prevention.
The Architecture, Engineering and Planning Guidelines provide specific requirements for all aspects
of building construction, which are incorporated in all new and renovated construction for EPA.
These guidelines are particularly focused on laboratories, and cover such topics as planning for
flexibility by using modular laboratory spaces, requirements for heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems, requirements for access to
buildings by persons with disabilities, and environmentally preferable purchasing of construction
products.
The Facility Safety, Health and Environmental Management Manual describes the full scope of the
facility features required in EPA-occupied facilities to maintain a safe and healthy workplace. The
objective of this standard is to provide reasonable safeguards against injury, to prevent fire
exposure, health hazards and environmental damage, to prevent property loss, to promote the
health, well-being and productivity of occupants, and to promote the successful integration of
environmental requirements into facility design processes to prevent pollution and support EPA's
goal of environmental stewardship.

Master Planning
Master Planning for EPA Laboratories
EPA has used a recurring Master Plan process for its laboratories since 1984. This process has
evaluated all of EPA facilities to identify critical needs for improving older facilities and for ensuring
that laboratory facilities meet the research and analytical needs of the Programs and Regions. As a
result of this program, most of EPA's laboratories have either moved to new spaces or undergone
significant renovations to bring them up to current standards for state-of-the-art laboratories.
The Master Plan process has been invaluable in providing clear justifications for funding Buildings
and Facilities appropriations both for Repair and Improvement and for New Construction. The
process involves a detailed site investigation to assess facility conditions and to interview facility
staff and management to identify any areas in which the facility does not meet the needs of the
Program or Region. Preliminary plans for improvements are developed together with cost
estimates and implementation strategies. These plans are reviewed with senior management in
the Program or Region as well as with OARM management to develop a five-year budget outlook
for the Buildings and Facilities (B&F) budget and to furnish the justifications for specific B&F
projects. The Master Plan process is updated about every five years as major new projects are
implemented, and as program
requirements change.
In order to facilitate the Master Plan
process, all information about EPA
facilities, from drawings and photographs
to work plans for individual B&F projects,
has been entered into a database, called
the Facilities and Real Estate Database or
FRED. (See FRED description on following

FRED (Facilities & Real Estate Database)
Tracking, Records Retention, Electronic Submittals
EPA's Facilities Real Estate Database (FRED) is a computer-aided facilities management (CAFM)
system that allows the EPA to make sound management decisions regarding the needs of office
and laboratory space. EPA's Architectural, Engineering, and Real Estate Branch (AEREB), developed
this system, which automates, standardizes and consolidates resources used to track master
planning, space use, facilities projects and equipment, and archive critical facilities information. The
system has been in development since 1992.
The FRED system consists of an Internet browser based database management system supported
by computer aided design (CAD) and other software tools that link drawing information,
photographs and data. FRED allows a user to submit'and maintain facility level data as well as to
view, create reports from, and print a wide range of
facility information. The system tracks construction
projects from their planning stages through the
budget process and through construction, supported
by drawings, photographs and project work plans. It
also provides space use analyses of EPA buildings. This
tool allows EPA to do long term planning for Buildings
and Facilities (B&F) budgets and to ensure that EPA
facilities continue to meet the highest science
priorities of the agency.

New Headquarters Facilities
Federal Triangle, Washington, DC
EPA's New Headquarters facilities are located in a five building complex known as the Federal Triangle. It is
located within the block bounded by Pennsylvania Avenue, Constitution Avenue, 12th Street and 14th Street,
NW. This prominent location is within walking distance of the White House, the US Treasury Department, the
National Mall and other federal agencies. Access to the complex via public transportation is facilitated by the
Orange and Blue Lines at the Federal Triangle Station of the Metro subway system. This station is located in
the middle of the block and is accessible underground from all buildings. Other transportation options include
Metro bus routes and the EPA shuttle bus system that interconnects all EPA occupied offices.
The Agency currently occupies over 250,000 square feet of the Ronald Reagan Building and all of the newly
renovated Ariel Rios Building. Occupancy of all buildings is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2002 and
will include the interstate Commerce
Commission, US Customs Service and
Connecting Wing Buildings once renovations
are completed. When this long term program
(initiated in 1997) is complete, EPA's New
Headquarters will occupy approximately 1.25
million square feet of office space in the
Federal Triangle Complex.
Of the four historic buildings, only the Ariel
Rios Federal Building has undergone and
completed the restoration process. It is the
official address for EPA Headquarters and
houses the Office of the Administrator and
Deputy Administrator. Others Program
components within this building are listed on
the next page.
The complex provides dining facilities, a child
care center and a fitness center. The
amenities are available to all EPA employees
at Federal Triangle.

The first building in the Federal Triangle to be occupied by EPA's New Headquarters was the Ariel Rios Federal
Building (ARFB). Originally called the New Post Office Building, it is a Neo-Classic design that was constructed
in 1934 with seven stories and one basement. The plan form resembles an hourglass with two large interior
courts.
The Ariel Rios Building is located on the 12th Street side of the Federal Triangle Block and has direct access to
the Federal Triangle Station of the Metro subway system. When the housing plan for EPA's New Headquarters
was first announced in late 1993, the southern half of the "hourglass" had been recently renovated and was
partially occupied by components of the Department of Justice (DOJ). EPA's newly reorganized Office of
Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) was selected as the first occupant following relocation of the
DOJ. OECA moved into Ariel Rios South during the winter of 1995-1996. The programs that occupy Ariel Rios
North moved into the building in stages, the last of which took place in December 2000.
Renovation of the ARFB consisted of the installation of a new mechanical system, an upgraded electrical
system, new lighting, and a sprinkler system. Facades and decorative features were cleaned and / or restored
as needed. The renovation also included correction of building code deficiencies, including changes made to
comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and asbestos and lead abatement. Every
effort was made to maintain, restore, or replicate elements of historic interest. This renovation followed the
standard scope of work for historical buildings.

see detail below
The EPA Region One offices are located at One Congress Street in an area of downtown Boston called the
Government Center, where federal, state and local agencies occupy a cluster of several large office buildings.
The EPA offices are housed on two floors (ten and eleven) that, in 1990, were added on the top of the large
Government Center parking garage, constructed in 1970.
The parking garage building, sheathed in precast concrete, presents a stepped-back profile to the street, and
bears a superficial resemblance to the nearby Boston City Hall. Access to the two office floors is provided by a
elevator bank and lobby that is appended to the side of the garage structure. The office spaces on floors ten
and eleven receive natural light from large exterior windows, and from a long rectangular skylit atrium that
provides light to interior spaces
The building sits above the Haymarket "T" station, which serves the Green and Orange lines of the Boston
public transit system.
Until recently, the Region One offices, which relocated to this building from the John F. Kennedy Building
when that facility was closed for renovation and asbestos removal, shared its two floors with offices of the
Department of Labor. In 1998, however, Labor vacated its Congress Street offices, presenting EPA Region One
with the opportunity to consolidate its Boston operation. The Office of Site Remediation and Restoration,
along with the Superfund Records Center, Conference/Training Center and Library, which had been located
three blocks away at 90 Canal Street, were moved to One Congress Street, and the Canal Street facility was
released. The entire Congress Street office space was renovated and reorganized.
The Region One offices now occupy three quarters of the Tenth Floor and all of the Eleventh Floor. The
present arrangement is as follows:
10th Floor: Reception Area
Office of Environmental Stewardship
Office of Administration & Resource Management (OARM)
Computer Center/Computer Training, Mail Room, Central Files

The New England Regional Laboratory will begin occupying a new, state-of-the-art facility in the spring of 2001.
It will replace the laboratory located in Lexington, Massachusetts. The new site will be situated on 11.97 acres.
The building is designed to be energy efficient, will have active and passive solar design, and when complete,
will be eligible for a medal rating from the U. S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED™).
The building site was carefully landscaped to minimally disturb the ecosystem,- careful landscape planning
reduced energy and water consumption and aided in erosion control. The Building was oriented to maximize
natural light.
The construction of the laboratory provided a program for waste separation and recycling. Incorporating EPA's
mission requirements into this facility was a high priority. Meeting those requirements included:
• resource-efficient materials,
limited VOC content in construction materials,
- high R factors in wall and roof insulation,
use of local materials where possible,
- carpet recycling,
use of building material that did not use CFC's or HCFC's in the manufacturing process,
use of oil/sand grit interceptors for pre-treatment of runoff,
* use of recycled asphalt for wearing surfaces, and
increased use of pervious paving materials in non-landscaped area.
The building will contain high efficiency fixtures, occupancy sensors, and have skylights in open office areas.
It will have a state-of-the-art building automation system, variable air volume controls, use of photovoltaic, and
will be equipped with high efficiency boilers, chillers and cooling towers. It will be equipped with multiple
chillers of varying size to provide redundancy to allow for part time load conditions, air handlers that will
provide free cooling and it will provide for the use of environmentally friendly refrigerant.
The Office of Environmental Measurement and Evaluation manages the New England Regional Laboratory
and provides chemical and biological laboratory analysis of environmental samples and response to
environmental problems within Region One.

laboratory is one of the five ORD centers devoted to marine, coastal, and estuarine water and ecological
research. The complex consists of a three-story main laboratory building, a hazardous waste storage building,
a storage building, two small utility buildings, a boat maintenance facility, and a containment laboratory.
The present facility in Narragansett is considered a state-of-the-art aquatic research facility and is in overall
good condition. An 8,000 square-foot research support addition is currently under construction. This addition
will provide researchers with office space outside the laboratory area and will allow removal of temporary
trailers on the site.
Adjacent to the laboratory are the University of Rhode Island Bay Campus and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service Research Laboratory. The laboratory is
located approximately 30 miles south of the capital city of Providence.
This division, along with divisions in Gulf Breeze, f lorida; Corvallis, Oregon; Chapel Hill, North Carolina; and
Duluth, Minnesota, fall under the direction of the ORD National Health and Environmental Effects Research
Laboratory. Research efforts by this group support primarily the Office of Water and the Office of Air and
Radiation, in response to legislative requirements of the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act.

The thirty-story Foley Square Federal Building at 290 Broadway in Lower Manhattan, was constructed in 1995 to
serve as a home for several federal agencies, including the EPA Region Two Headquarters. The EPA occupies
floors fifteen through twenty-nine of this building. Other federal tenants include the Internal Revenue Service
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Foley Square has a total of 1,008,850 gross square feet.
Prior to its move to the new Foley Square Federal Building, Region Two Headquarters was located in the
nearby Jacob K. Javits Federal Building at 26 Federal Plaza. Space layouts there had become somewhat
fragmented over several floors as a result of agency growth over time. The move to Foley Square allowed EPA
to consolidate all of its divisions, thus leading to a more efficient use of space and improving functional
relationships among the various organizational components.
The Foley Square Building is a modern steel-framed, fireproof structure. EPA offices are served by a bank of
eight high speed elevators and two large service elevators The typical floor plate permits open-plan work
stations to be placed around the central core containing elevators, stairs, and toilet rooms, while most
enclosed offices are located towards the interior. Selected interior structural bays have been designed for
heavier live loads and allow the use of high-density files.
Region Two components located here include, in addition to the Office of the Regional Administrator (ORA),
the Office of the Region Counsel (ORC), the Communications Division (CD), the Office of Policy and
Management (OPM), the Division of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), the Division of
Environmental Planning and Protection (DEPP), and the Emergency and Remedial Response Division (ERRD).
Foley Square also houses two Headquarters Field Components: the Criminal Investigations Division
(CID/OECA), and the Office of the Inspector General (DIG).

The EPA Edison Environmental Center is a multi-use laboratory and office complex located thirty miles from
New York City in the southern portion of Edison Township in New Jersey. It is easily accessible and minutes
away from New Jersey's major roadways: The Garden State Parkway, the New Jersey Turnpike, and Routes 1
and 287. It is also convenient to four major airports. EPA's land fronts on Woodbridge Avenue (Route 514) and
is adjacent to Middlesex County Community College, a residential development; and the Raritan Center
Industrial Park.
The Site occupies a corner of what had been a World War I munitions site known as the Raritan Arsenal. It was
expanded to 5,500 acres during World War II, functioned through the Korean War, and was phased out in the
1960's. GSA acquired the site in 1964. At that time the parcel was 3,188 acres. EPA received its 205 acres from
GSA in two stages, the first in 1977, followed by additional acreage in 1988. EPA's buildings are part of the old
Raritan Arsenal and date from 1918 to 1953. The Center consists of nine principal buildings and trailers with an
approximate area of 330,300 square feet. With the exception of buildings Five, Ten, and Eighteen, which EPA
uses for office space, most buildings on the site were originally constructed for warehouse use and have
been adapted to suit EPA's needs. Besides those buildings, EPA has placed 32 temporary trailers in various
places around the property to serve as laboratories, offices, contractor offices, etc.
The Edison Environmental Center supports the activities of several EPA organizations, including OSWER's
Environmental Response Branch, ORD's Release Control Branch, the Regional Division of Environmental
Science and Assessment, the Pesticides and Toxic Substances Program of the Regional Division of
Enforcement and Compliance Assistance and the Emergency Preparedness Programs of the Regional
Emergency and Remedial Response Division.
The grounds of the EPA Edison Environmental Center contain a helicopter landing pad, an extensive system of
underground storm water piping used by onsite ORD researchers, and a HazMat (Hazardous Material) training
area utilized as part of a national OSWER training program.

The offices of Region Three are located at 1650 Arch Street, a 27-floor high rise in the Center
City District of Philadelphia. EPA occupies floors two through fourteen, plus sixteen (fifteen is
a mechanical equipment floor); and also leases support space in parts of two basement
levels, as well as a part of the first floor.
Before its move to Arch Street in 1998, the Regional Office occupied space in an older building with
antiquated building systems at 841 Chestnut Street. At that location, it had severely fragmented space in
portions of eight floors of a thirteen-story building.
Region Three's new offices are in a concrete-framed structure built in 1974 and remodeled extensively prior to
EPA's occupancy The typical floor plan is square in shape, with the core offset to one side. The design
provides interior space that is almost column-free, thus maximizing flexibility in the layout of work stations. All
workspace is within fifty feet of an exterior window. EPA currently occupies about 270,375 usable square feet
(including basement support areas) and provides workstations for about 1,300 persons.
The building sits atop an underground concourse that is accessed by an escalator from the first floor lobby
and which leads to the SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) regional rail lines, as well
as to local parking garages, shops, services, and other office buildings. Public surface transportation consists
of SEPTA bus routes that are within a block of 1650 Arch Street.
Federal environmental programs include air and water pollution control; toxic substances, pesticides, and
drinking water regulation,- wetlands protection; hazardous waste management; hazardous waste dump site
cleanup; and some aspects of radioactive materials regulation. Activities include compliance and
enforcement, inspection, engineering reviews, ambient monitoring, analysis of environmental trends,
environmental planning, pollution prevention and risk assessments. Region Three and its partner state
pollution control agencies are responsible for regulating over 21,000 air pollution sources,-12,000 water
pollution sources; and 425 hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities. Operations include a
Public Information Center (PIC) that occupies a first floor storefront space,- a fitness center, an employees'
health care suite, generous classroom/training facilities, and a large library.
The five major environmental divisions of the regional office are: the Air Protection Division, Waste and
Chemical Management, Water Protection Division, Hazardous Site Cleanup Division, and Environmental
Services Division. In addition, four offices provide support to the environmental programs: the Office of Policy
and Management, the Chesapeake Bay Program Office, the Office of Regional Counsel, and the Office of

EPA's Region Four offices moved from 345 Courtland and Piedmont Courtland Tower to new offices in the
Atlanta Federal Center in the summer of 1996. This new building, with about 1.1 million square feet of office
space, plus an additional 103,000 square feet of joint use space, houses offices of 22 different federal
agencies. GSA, the landlord, is leasing the building from the City of Atlanta. EPA occupies about 329,000
rentable square feet, housing about 1,400 employees, and is the largest federal tenant in the
buildins-
The Atlanta Federal Center is sited on four acres bisected by a secondary street on the edge of
the central business district, at the MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) Five Points Station. The
complex consists of four connected structures: a 24-story high rise tower, a ten-story mid-rise tower, a six-story
historic department store that has been restored and converted to office use, and an eight-story "bridge"
office structure that spans the street and links the high-rise and mid-rise office buildings. There is a multi-story
parking garage with a capacity of 1,600 vehicles. Shared-use facilities in the Atlanta Federal Center, available to
all federal employees, include a food court, health and fitness center, child care center, and a conference
center.
EPA's offices occupy floors nine through 15, and one-half of 16, in the high-rise tower. Because floors 15 and
16 are served by an elevator bank other than the bank serving floors nine through 14, there is a stair linking
floors 14 and 15 to provide internal circulation within the EPA space.
The long, narrow floors of the high rise tower, with about 34,000 square feet of office space per floor, have a
shallow depth from window wall to core that permits maximum natural light to reach all of the systems
furniture workstations. The space planning has allowed for ample amenities and support space, with several
conference rooms per floor, an employee lounge-pantry at each level, and provision for filing, copy rooms,
storage, and similar support areas.
The ninth floor contains special spaces oriented towards use by the public, including the library, training
rooms, the computer center, and video-teleconferencing facilities.

Sabine Island lies in Santa Rosa Sound, eight miles south-east of Pensacola, Florida. It is a manmade island of
16.5 acres and is accessible from Santa Rosa Island by taking Fort Pickens Road West to Villa Sabine Drive.
Sabine Island was born of efforts to stop the spread of yellow fever. In 1876 authorities issued an order of
ballast disposal requiring ships entering the port of Pensacola to discharge ballast and undergo
fumigation. The disposal site built up and eventually became a land mass.
I
By 1903 the island had stabilized and was transferred by the War Department to the Treasury
Department and left dormant until 1906 when a hurricane destroyed a nearby quarantine station. A new
station was built on the ballast island and outfitted with a hospital, an isolation hospital, caretaker's,
pharmacist's and doctor's residences, a doctor's office, fumigation shed, workshop and boathouse.
1947 brought about a transfer of the island to the Bureau of Fisheries. The island's new function was to
establish an experimental oyster farm. The Works Progress Administration and the Public Works Administration
enlarged and modified the quarantine buildings, laid walkways and built large tanks for salinity experiments.
In 1948, the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service established a laboratory which studied cyclic
changes in animal populations and pollution effects of agricultural chemicals. In 1960, director Dr. Philip Butler
gave the island the official name "Sabine Island" for postal purposes By 1962, the laboratory had 9 buildings,
5,000 square feet of wet laboratory working space, 1,000 square feet of storage and shop facilities, a 36-foot
diesel powered work boat equipped for trawling and dredging, and several smaller boats.
In 1970, the island was turned over to the Environmental Protection Agency and its main mission became "to
bridge the gap from ecosystem health to human health by assessing the transport of chemicals in the marine
environment and the potential transfer from the marine food web to man." A new "wetlab" facility was
dedicated in 1977 to house seawater toxicology and analytical chemistry laboratories. By 1978, Sabine Island
housed 10 frame and 13 temporary buildings, which included a technical library and a computer center.
This laboratory is a primary research facility of the EPA National Health and Environmental Effects Research
Laboratory, under the Office of Research and Development (ORD). Research is conducted to understand the
physical, chemical, and biological dynamics of coastal systems to assess the ecological condition of the Gulf
of Mexico; to determine the cause(s) of affected systems; to predict future risk to aquatic organisms,
populations, communities, and ecosystems,- and to establish criteria to protect coastal environments.
The physical plant at the Gulf Ecology Division consists of approximately 50 separate structures that vary in age
from four to 90 years. Construction ranges from temporary wood-frame to poured-in-place concrete.

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
The new EPA Campus will accommodate one of the largest multi-disciplinary groups of environmental
scientists in the world. This property is nestled in beautiful Durham County, adjacent to Interstate 40 and
surrounded by the cities of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. The new laboratories housed in this facility will
support research that is critical to EPA's understanding of current pollution problems and potential
problems.
4
This new campus will consolidate EPA's functions on a site neighboring the National Institute
of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). EPA and NIEHS will share a central utility plant and
common services such as: conference facilities, child care, landscaping, security and waste management.
The close proximity of these facilities promotes efficiency and enhances opportunities for collaboration
between these two prominent environmental organizations.
EPA has achieved a tremendous accomplishment in creating a facility that embodies its environmental ethics,
while balancing out issues related to the mission of the Agency and the global environment. Designed by the
architectural firm of Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum (HOK), it rests on a slope overlooking a woodland lake
and below a knoll that is home to the site's oldest trees. Embedding the facility into the sloping terrain allows
the landscape to remain intact, reducing disruptions to the natural habitat during and after construction.
EPA anticipates occupying the facility in late 2001. The new campus is approximately 1.2 million square feet
and covers one quarter of a mile from end to end. With space for 2,200 people and 10,000 research animals,
400 individual laboratories, a conference center, a cafeteria, a national computer center and a childcare center,
this will be the largest complex ever built and owned by EPA.
Storm water run-off will be naturally treated by plant material on-site to remove contaminants. Natural
woodlands and wildflower plantings are used in place of turf grass to minimize the use of water, fertilizer, and
pesticides.
EPA has selected building materials that are durable, low-maintenance and have the least environmental
impact over each material's life cycle. Detailed specifications ensure compliance with federal, state and local
requirements for recycled content, chemical emissions, and the use of hazardous materials.
Design flexibility conserves resources by minimizing the impact of future changes. Integrated building
recycling facilities and on-site composting for landscaping debris minimize operational waste. During
construction, many on-site materials acquired from land clearing and excavation will be reused rather than
sent to a landfill. The EPA is also implementing a comprehensive and cost-effective construction waste
recycling program.

acre site, provides approximately 112,745 usable square feet in a main, high bay building and three office
wings (two original and a third wing added in 1976).
The Lab Building was initially leased from the State of Michigan between 1971 and 1991, after which it was
purchased by the Agency. Although the physical plant has evolved to respond to EPA mission needs,
significant portions of the building infrastructure have become obsolete or are at the end of their useful life.
The Agency's first Energy Saving Performance Contract (ESPC) was put in place here in mid-1998
«"" and has helped replace aging and inefficient major building systems with modern, energy-
'«<** \
u efficient, integrated systems controlled by a direct digital control system (DDC). The master
plan under development calls for other phased improvements to the building, site and
infrastructure.
NVFEL is the primary EPA research laboratory for fuel and emissions testing. Work in this lab supports OAR's
Office of Transportation and Air Quality's (OTAQ) efforts to establish and enforce emission standards for
motor vehicles, engines and fuels as well as the development of automotive technology.
OTAQ has five divisions located in two buildings in Ann Arbor and two buildings in Washington, DC. They are

containing restroomsand utility closets. The building incorporates energy-efficient mechanical and electrical
systems utilizing a Direct Digital Control (DDC) system to optimize performance of building systems. Low flow
bathroom and locker room fixtures allow for water conservation.
The office building was designed to maximize natural lighting in all areas of the building. The
ratio of windows to walls is more than 40% and additional natural light is provided through If1
skylights and a large clerestory. All of the offices, conference and meeting rooms have wide,
floor-to-ceiling "sidelights" (glass panels near the doors) to enhance light distribution. Green Lights with
automatic dimmers and occupancy sensors have been installed throughout, using indirect lighting fixtures to
prevent computer screen glare and create a more pleasant environment.
Air quality has been addressed in lease clauses limiting the levels of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and
formaldehyde. Carpeting was tested and approved by EPA and carpet backing and adhesives met EPA
specifications for volatile organic compound emissions, stability and toxicity potential. All photocopy rooms
and restrooms exhaust directly to the outside. An FM200 (replacement for ozone-depleting Halon) fire
suppression system was installed in both the computer room and computer lab.

The Large Lakes and Rivers Forecasting Research Branch of the Mid-Continent Ecology Division is located at
Grosse lie, Michigan. The Branch supports the Division's research efforts to develop the technology to assess
and predict the present and future effects of biotic and abiotic stressors on freshwater ecological resources
with known certainty in support of short- and long-term management goals. The laboratory is located on a
three-acre parcel and contains the main laboratory building, a boat shop, storage building, hazmat building
and a tin hangar.
Grosse lie began its life of government service in 1926 when the Olds Farm (encompassing most of the
southern-most portion of Grosse He) was purchased by the Navy. A hangar and landing field was
~** "fk**- Cf built to fscil'tate construction of an all-metal airship. In the ensuing years, a seaplane base
..-Jill ^p anc( a combination hangar-administration building were also constructed. In 1929, the ZMC-
2, the world's first metal-clad airship, was completed.
In the 1930's, the state of Michigan leased the entire 375 acres of the base from the federal government and
made many improvements, including the addition of buildings for military personnel. When World War II
began in 1939, Grosse He's training program increased to over 1,000 cadets (including future President, George
H. W. Bush) per month and was also used to train over 1,800 British cadets. The Navy property was expanded
to 604 acres and construction activity greatly increased. By the end of the war in 1945, all land on which the
Grosse He Naval Air Station rested became Naval property.
In 1955, the Army installed a NIKE-AJAX guided missile base and underground missile silos on the property, but
by 1962 the base was declared obsolete and decommissioned. The Grosse lie U.S. Naval Air Station was closed
in 1969.
The property retained by the federal government was occupied by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
in 1970. In addition to the main compound and laboratory, the site also has a remote 40-acre undeveloped
parcel of land containing a quarry pool and marshland (formerly the NIKE-AJAX site, demolition and restoration
of which was completed by the Department of Defense in 1993).
Co-located with ORD is the Response Section One of the Emergency and Enforcement Branch of Region Five's
Superfund Division, the Criminal Investigation Division of the Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance, and Region Five's Water Division.

and biological analyses. Laboratory personnel also perform evaluations and audits of environmental
monitoring laboratories and public water supply laboratories. Management of the Regional Contract
Laboratory Program, including sample scheduling, sample routing, data verification, data validation and data
usability, are responsibilities of the Laboratory. Technical expertise is provided to the Region, and to other
federal, state, tribal and local entities. Expert witness support is provided for both civil and criminal
enforcement cases.
The fast pace of emerging technologies and science requires that the Laboratory keep at the forefront of new
analytical procedures. The original Houston Laboratory consisted of several mobile buildings located near
jgi the Houston Ship Channel. This operation was established as a result of an enforcement
w conference conducted in 1970 and 1971 under the terms of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Refuse Act Program. A permanent facility was constructed and occupied by EPA in June of 1972.
This facility was designed to handle the classical water quality parameters, such as biological oxygen demand
(BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOO, nutrients, metals, total and fecal coliform,
pesticides, oil and grease and bioassays.
As environmental programs evolved into addressing toxic and hazardous wastes, the requirements for
regional laboratory support experienced significant changes. The nature of the samples were becoming more
hazardous, thereby requiring specialized handling and newer and more sophisticated analytical
instrumentation. Due to the age and design of the existing facility, EPA determined that a new laboratory was
needed to satisfy the new requirements and to provide a safe working environment for employees.
The impetus for acquiring a new facility was begun in 1988 and the new laboratory was completed and
occupied in June 1990. This laboratory incorporates the latest features in design and operation and is
considered state-of-the-art for environmental laboratories.

In June 1999, Region Seven moved into the new 203,475 rentable square-foot Kansas City Regional Office. This
award winning building features a dramatic four-story light-filled atrium, with spectacular views of the Kansas
City, Missouri skyline, and extensive sustainable design features. The building is a result of a successful
partnership between the City of Kansas City, Kansas, who donated the site for the building, US General
Services Administration, who served as a willing partner in delivering a quality and environmentally sensitive
building, and EPA.
The five-story building has numerous passive solar design features, including extensive day lighting, sun
screens that reflect light into the building and shade intense summer sun, and smaller windows on the west
side that minimize heat gain on hot summer afternoons. Materials used in the building are environmentally
friendly. Coal fly ash makes up a significant portion of the large concrete auger pile foundation system.
Building insulation, structural steel and glazing are made with up to 60% recycled materials. Tenant finish
materials include vinyl composition tile, acoustical ceiling tiles, carpet and ceramic tiles with above average
recycled content. High efficiency indirect lighting and motion sensors improve the energy efficiency of the
building.
This building won a GSA "Build Green" award in 1999 and an EPA Gold Medal for Sustainable Development in
2000. The unique design of the building, with its U-shaped floors and tree filled center court,
provides a beautiful, functional, and exciting new home for EPA Region Seven.

The Kansas City Science and Technology Center lease, awarded in August 2000, will provide EPA Region Seven
with an architecturally stunning facility, with cutting edge mechanical systems, and significant environmental
features. This 72,100 gross square foot lab is the result of another successful partnership of the City of Kansas
City, Kansas, who donated the site, the US General Services Administration, the EPA Facilities Management
and Services Division, and EPA Region Seven.
Facilities Management and Services Division used a design competition to choose a developer, rewarding
development teams that submitted functionally superior and environmentally sensitive proposals.
The winning proposal is a strikingly handsome building, flooded with light, that has an excellent layout of labs
and lab related offices, and separates pedestrian circulation from chemical and lab sample movement. The
sophisticated mechanical systems include variable air volume fume hoods, modular boilers, and a heat
recovery loop, which will significantly reduce energy use. A unique rooftop rainwater recovery system captures
and filters rainwater to be used for flushing toilets; it will cut treated domestic water use by approximately 50%
and reduce site runoff by 40%. Extensive measures will be taken during construction to protect indoor air
quality in the completed facility; a significant portion of the construction waste will also be recycled.
EPA has occupied its current facility for more than 25 years. Mechanical systems are outdated,
and many aspects of the existing facility are outmoded by today's standards. The new Kansas
City Science and Technology Center is currently under design and should be completed in
2002.

The National Enforcement Investigations Center of EPA shares space in a facility located at the Denver Federal
Center (DFC) in Lakewood, Colorado, eight miles west of downtown Denver. The DFC is a 670 acre federal
reservation consisting of one and two-story masonry and timber buildings that were constructed as an
ammunition production plant to support the World War II effort. The factory, originally known as the Denver
Ordinance Plant, was originally a 2,000 acre site, housing more than 20,000 employees in over 200 buildings.
Many of the buildings that were retained as part of the DFC have been renovated and expanded and one high
rise building has been constructed. The DFC facility supports approximately 7,000 employees from more than
25 federal departments and agencies.
The Center houses two divisions of OECA's Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics and Training (OCEFT).
The two divisions, National Enforcement Investigations Center (NEIC) and Legal Counsel and Resource
Management Division (LCRMD), occupy portions of five buildings on the DFC with approximately 113,000
rentable square feet and a staff of 120. The Office of Compliance also maintains a five-person office. Housed
off the Federal Center, in Lakewood, is a third division of OCEFT, the National Enforcement Training Institute
(NETI) and the Office of Regulatory Enforcement (ORE), Mobile Source Enforcement Branch of the Air
Enforcement Division.
Buildings 53 and 45 contain most of the office, laboratory and warehouse space for the NEIC and LCRMD.
Buildings 46 and 55 contain additional office space primarily for contractors and a computer training center as
well as office space for the five Office of Compliance personnel. Building 11 houses hazardous chemicals and
waste. All five buildings are co-occupied with other federal agencies. The NEIC has recently acquired 9,140
square feet of new space in the Federal Center Building 45 for relocation of its warehouse and
light industrial space, previously located off site in Lakewood, improving efficiency of
operations.
Funding ($25 million) has been provided by Congress to GSA to renovate and upgrade Building 25. EPA is
planning to consolidate its NEIC and LCRMD operations in approximately 83,000 square feet of Building 25. It
will share the building with the U.S. Geological Survey and, possibly, a third tenant yet to be determined. EPA
should occupy the space in Fiscal Year 2004.

Regional offices for Region Ten are located in the high-rise Park Place Building in downtown Seattle. The
building is approximately 20 years old, and is considered to be in good condition. The structure is reinforced
concrete clearly delineated in the exterior facade which is exposed concrete and glass. A child care center and
a fitness center are shared with three other federal agencies, in this government-leased facility.
Region Ten saw a planned remodeling of its executive offices as a unique opportunity to provide leadership to
the federal community and private design and building community by creating a showcase for "green
construction" using environmentally responsible practices and materials.
The executive suite as originally designed, featured over-sized offices, a dark paneled interior space that
housed the administrative staff, old furniture, and with no cohesive functional system of storage. A new
design for the suite reduced it to 1,930 square feet and the executive offices to 225 square feet each, and
includes a well-used conference room, more informal meeting space, and daylight and outside views for the
administrative staff.
With this project EPA demonstrated several innovative practices that reflect the Agency's increasing focus on
sustainability:
- using certified wood products,
- selecting resource efficient materials,
minimizing construction and demolition waste, and
~ designing sustainable space.

The Office of Research and Development operates a large research laboratory, directed by the Western
Ecology Division of the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory, located adjacent to
the campus of Oregon State University. The laboratory is housed in eight buildings and several trailers on a
ten-acre site. The main building is a two-story concrete laboratory building constructed in 1967 and owned by
EPA. A smaller office building that is leased by the government is located in close proximity (see description
on opposite page).
The research complex has, as its mission, research on the protection, management and restoration of
terrestrial and regional ecological systems. The effects of global change, air pollution and introduced
organisms on forests, crops, wetlands, lakes and streams are studied at the facility.

Research Laboratory (ORD)
The Coastal Ecology Branch (CEB) is the marine research group for the Western Ecology Division, a part of the
National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory of the Office of Research and Development of
the U.S. EPA. CEB is housed in a state-of-the-art laboratory building on the grounds of the Hatfield Marine
Science Center of Oregon State University in Newport, Oregon. An ideal physical setting for research on
marine and estuarine ecosystems, the facility is located on the shore of Yaquina Bay and consists of a main
laboratory and office building, a support and storage building, a hazardous waste building, and a seawater
holding tank.
Wet laboratories equipped with flow-through seawater systems are available for a wide variety of experiments.
Unique, specialized treatment facilities onsite allow experiments to be safely conducted on important regional
and national environmental issues, including tests involving exotic species and acute and chronic exposures
of marine organisms to pollutants. Highly sophisticated analytical laboratory facilities provide capabilities for
low-level analysis of organic pollutants, metals, and natural products from field and laboratory samples.
Adjacent facilities on the Hatfield Marine Science Center campus include research laboratories operated by
Oregon State University, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This concentration of
marine research organizations provides an unparalleled opportunity for collaborative research on national
environmental problems, and EPA scientists interact with their colleagues to further scientific achievement in a
variety of ways. The CEB is the only EPA laboratory whose primary role is conducting marine research on the
west coast of the United States. It is the only EPA ORD research facility in a geographic position to deal with
marine environmental research issues of the Pacific coast from California to Alaska, as well as for Hawaii and
the Pacific island trust territories.
In the past, CEB research has made outstanding contributions to dealing with the problem of chemically
contaminated sediments in U.S. coastal waters. Current research at CEB has its central focus on the effects of
multiple stressors associated with human population growth on the habitats and species of the estuarine
systems of the Pacific Northwest. CEB research scientists are also contributing to regional scale studies of the
condition of nearshore ecosystems of the Southern California Bight.
The Coastal Ecology Branch employs 16 EPA scientists and support staff, and additional
llTl cor|tract personnel who provide facilities maintenance, technical, and data processing
^ support. The total laboratory budget represents approximately a two million dollar annual
contribution to the local economy.
