Description:"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Weather Service (NWS) operates the Baltimore/Washington Weather Forecast Office (WFO) on a 230.4-acre parcel of land located adjacent to the northwest corner of Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) in Sterling, Virginia. The NOAA property is also home to the Sterling Field Support Center (SFSC) which is the primary NWS laboratory for testing, research, and operational evaluation of meteorological instrumentation. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) proposes to widen an existing five-mile stretch of Route 606, between Route 621 and Route 267, from two lanes to a four-lane median divided roadway. To accommodate this project, VDOT has requested that NOAA grant 12.3 acres of permanent easement and 10.8 acres of temporary easement to VDOT, which includes 1.2 acres of NOVEC utility easements, on 22.3 acres of NOAA property. The purpose of this Environmental Assessment is to analyze the potential environmental impacts of responding to VDOT's easement request in a manner that is consistent with the operational needs of the WFO and SFSC"--Executive summary.
