<strong>St</strong>. Elizabeth’s <strong>West</strong> <strong>Campus</strong>Consulting Party Meeting November 8, 2011Meeting Notes <strong>GSA</strong> ROB Room 70231:30 – 4:00pmI. Welcome and Introductions (CI International)Connie Doyle (CI): Welcomed the group to the meeting.Group: (Participants introduced themselves. Attendance list attached.)II. Project Updates- Global Project Updates (<strong>GSA</strong>)Thom Ennen (<strong>GSA</strong>): Coast Guard construction - concrete work in the garage is complete, there is still work atgate 4, the fence project is twenty percent complete, heating and cooling and pipe install is ongoing andutilities is fifty two percent complete. Electrical work in progress, seventy five percent <strong>of</strong> bottom slab pouredand the framing walls are next. The Washington Gas Project is thirty eight percent complete. Regardingadaptive reuse <strong>of</strong> building 31, slabs are poured up to the second floor and mechanical up to first floor. Building37 in progress and building 49 is emerging from moth ball state. Things are moving along.Some community related announcements; there was a golf tournament played two weeks ago on that very rainThursday. $14,000 was donated to a place call The House, a program for high school kids. Also, the Ward 8beautification program received support. Hometown Solutions renovated a building used for intake for awomen’s shelter.Thomas Otto (<strong>GSA</strong>): Last month we mentioned how we would be getting back the gravestone. [SLIDE]Yesterday there was a ceremony, the stone was returned. The DCA brochure, you have it there, 5,000 copieshave been reproduced. We distribute them during tours. I had a very productive Anacostia meeting; we aregoing to talk to them about posting things online for the oral history project. We are talking about having acommunity forum. It’s been a good week on the interpretive sideJames Bunn (Ward 8 Business Council): Ward 8 really appreciated <strong>GSA</strong>’s assistanceNancy Witherell (<strong>GSA</strong>): The design <strong>of</strong> the interim stair and the final design to the access road have all beenapproved. The building 49 addition with underground portion <strong>of</strong> the gym, we pulled that back from submissionsto both review agencies; it will go back to both agencies for review. We don’t anticipate having a Decemberconsultation meeting the next meeting will be in January. We are working with Parks to get going on an outlinefor Shepherd Parkway MOA. We will be sending drafts out during Nov, Dec, and January. It should be apretty straightforward MOA that will outline future process for parkway design. I think that’s it unless there arequestionsIII. Shepherd Parkway Transportation Alternatives PresentationNia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): As we mentioned previously <strong>GSA</strong> and DDOT concurred on the preferred hybridalternative and we want to talk about why we identified 2B as the preferred alternative. We were not able toget the crash data document so we will not have that today. In three months, CPs will get courtesy electroniccopies <strong>of</strong> the FEIS for a five day review. HNTB did develop visualizations and an update will be provided. Ithink that’s it we will have HNTB begin. [SLIDE]Page 1 <strong>of</strong> 20


<strong>St</strong>. Elizabeth’s <strong>West</strong> <strong>Campus</strong>Consulting Party Meeting November 8, 2011Meeting Notes <strong>GSA</strong> ROB Room 70231:30 – 4:00pmJon Whitney (HNTB): We want to revisit some <strong>of</strong> the questions from the last meeting and the evaluationprocess for hybrid alternatives. The purpose for these alternatives is to minimize footprints and addresscomments from the community and <strong>GSA</strong>. Alternative 2B has been identified because Least amount <strong>of</strong> parkland impact – 8.9 acres Best address <strong>of</strong> traffic movements, efficient access for DHS, JBAB and the community, traffic safetyand operations through the corridor DDOT identified 2B Early support from FHWA Headquarters and Division <strong>of</strong>fices and no design exceptions increases ourlikelihood for the design getting approved during IJR process Protects the integrity <strong>of</strong> the design and the achievements obtained through the 106 processDDOT also identified 2B as their preferred; 2B is one <strong>of</strong> the alternatives that do not have design exceptions.The Interchange design process begins with the preferred alternative then review by <strong>GSA</strong> and NCPC approvalthen approval by FHWA. The Interchange Justification Report (IJR) will go to DDOT then FHWA for approval.After further review a final design will be approved. [SLIDE] To refresh you memory on 2B in southbounddirection we have an exit ramp, then we have an access road that flies over, north toward gate 4. There is a144 radius loop ramp. [SLIDE] To the south end we have the same South Capitol street interchange, splitranch. All four south end configurations are the same. [SLIDE] One <strong>of</strong> the questions was, can we minimizelane widths? Yellow is the access road, the intersection has three 11 foot lanes going towards gate 4. Thereason is to meet lane width requirements and also to accommodate transit or over the road coaches and alsoto accommodate a broken down vehicle. Here are two 12 foot lanes as we approach Malcolm X then for thebulk <strong>of</strong> the access road 11 foot lanes.Peter May (NPS): Will you explain why ramp A is 16 ft?Jon Whitney (HNTB): It’s to maintain the ability to pass a stalled vehicle. This meets the requirements for thepassing <strong>of</strong> a stalled vehicle without blocking the roadway. Also, if a transit bus is stalled out. The single ramplanes going toward the north all have a 16 ft plus shoulderPeter May (NPS): How much is the shoulder?Jon Whitney (HNTB): 6 ft on the left and 8 ft on the rightPeter May (NPS): How much do you need to get by?Jon Whitney (HNTB): There is a minimum requirement for passing AASHTO criteria.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): Aren’t there guidelines?Jon Whitney (HNTB): FHWA has established 13 criteria and if you don’t meet AASHTO requirements itrequires a design exception. If you add a design exception you jeopardize approval.Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 20


<strong>St</strong>. Elizabeth’s <strong>West</strong> <strong>Campus</strong>Consulting Party Meeting November 8, 2011Meeting Notes <strong>GSA</strong> ROB Room 70231:30 – 4:00pmPeter May (NPS): Are you saying, 6 and 8 ft are minimum requirements and anything less requires anexception?Jon Whitney (HNTB): YesBetsy Merritt (National Trust): What is the configuration?Jon Whitney (HNTB): This section through the access road is what we consider a city street configuration withcurbs on each side and w/ pedestrian space on each side.Betsy Merritt (National Trust): Why couldn’t the 16 ft be changed to 12 ft with 6 and 8 ft shoulders?Jon Whitney (HNTB): The total width from barrier to barrier is the criteria for the passing <strong>of</strong> stalled vehicles.Betsy Merritt (National Trust): On the ramp, what allows it to change from dark orange to light orange?Jon Whitney (HNTB): It is two lanes.Betsy Merritt (National Trust): How many exceptions are incorporated into the proposal?Jon Whitney (HNTB): noneBetsy Merritt (National Trust): My suggestion is, let’s put a place holder to request a minor exception here.Jamie Henson (DDOT): We are allowing construction and about 15ft is on DDOT property including one <strong>of</strong> thetwo lanes. Secondly, we are showing a very atypical design which increases our maintenance responsibility.This design we have eliminated about 50 feet <strong>of</strong> impact. Instead <strong>of</strong> allowing exceptions we’ve tried for thesafest possible design.Betsy Merritt (National Trust): I think you are just hearing the negative reaction.Jamie Henson (DDOT): From our perspective these are national standards, so we are really hesitant tochange those standards.Jack Van Dop (FHWA): FHWA places national standards. This is an unconventional interchange. We wantto stay out <strong>of</strong> Shepherd Parkway and minimize the impact on Shepherd Parkway.Carlton Hart (NCPC): Are you not looking at doing any design exceptions at all?Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): As DDOT says, we are comfortable with the 2B alternative and it just so happens; it doesnot have any design exceptions. This is what they are comfortable with.Connie Doyle (CI International): Carlton will you restate your question for Jamie?Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 20


<strong>St</strong>. Elizabeth’s <strong>West</strong> <strong>Campus</strong>Consulting Party Meeting November 8, 2011Meeting Notes <strong>GSA</strong> ROB Room 70231:30 – 4:00pmCarlton Hart (NCPC): I asked if you are not planning to include any design exceptions at all?Jamie Henson (DDOT): The Chief engineer ultimately signs <strong>of</strong>f on design exceptions. Generally I can say weare not interested in signing <strong>of</strong>f on design exceptions however; I will let the Chief Engineer speak more aboutthat.Tammy <strong>St</strong>idham (NPS): Are you considering that ramp part <strong>of</strong> the interstate?Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): We colored it orange because it’s a single ramp. Coloring is not always part <strong>of</strong> theinterstate.Jon Whitney (HNTB): It is a one way single lane ramp, we are trying to maintain that consistent criteria. Idon’t think a decision has been made regarding which ramps are part <strong>of</strong> the interstate.Jack Van Dop (FHWA) Our mission requires us to look at things to minimize harm. That will be an openquestion with DDOT’s lead but; at this point I don’t think we will get an exception on that.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): Regarding the Interstate Justification Report (IJR), will we receive it forreview?Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): No, you will receive the EIS.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): So you all at DDOT would need to approve the exceptions first beforesubmitting them to FHWA?Jamie Henson (DDOT): We would need to review and consider it before submitting it to FHWA.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): Will design exceptions affect funding?Jamie Henson (DDOT): Its not that it will affect funding. There is a reason there are standards, and theconcern is making exceptions from the standards.Jon Whitney (HNTB): As we develop the plans with traffic modeling, Nia, when will be able to show thatinformation as we progress through design?Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): When we are doing the final design MOA it comes back, we are happy to provide a statusupdate.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): We have a liaison; I’m just not sure how the process works. Is today thechance for us to provide comments?Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): Can I jump here? The IJR is not to be used by other agencies. Allthese issues have to be taken care <strong>of</strong> in the EIS process.Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 20


<strong>St</strong>. Elizabeth’s <strong>West</strong> <strong>Campus</strong>Consulting Party Meeting November 8, 2011Meeting Notes <strong>GSA</strong> ROB Room 70231:30 – 4:00pmNia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): That is consistent with what I said regarding the process. We can go back to the slidethat shows the process.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): The preferred alternative is what will go forward. Hopefully there isless <strong>of</strong> a chance <strong>of</strong> any change.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): When will we get the EIS for comment?Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): Late JanuaryKirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): So perhaps we can have a meeting around that time?Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): We have an early January meeting scheduled, the EIS is late January.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): The IJR from my perspective, I’m not really sure what it is.Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): I think this is getting a little confusing; your opportunity to comment is on the final EIS.Tammy <strong>St</strong>idham (NPS): So this is the only opportunity to comment, before the final EIS?Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): Then it goes through the IJR process.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): The IJR, it’s not a public document.Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): I think what Kirsten is interested in understanding is if there is an opportunity to considermore design exceptions.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone) The IJR process will operationally analyze on a bigger level andthen based on those details we will know if it will operationally work. I think we have minimized the designexceptions as much as we could. I think there is already one exception on the interchange. We will have to gothrough a very long tedious process for approval <strong>of</strong> additional design exceptions. There is also liability toconsider because there are national standard criteria. I think we have tried to squeeze in what we can and Ithink we are at a point that we’ve done all we can. You have to look at the safe operations, we haveaccommodated as many design exceptions as we can I believe.James Bunn (Ward 8 Business Council): We looked at all the possibilities and DDOT had allowed someexception because those exceptions were allowed in other places around the country. I’m not in favor <strong>of</strong>constantly having meetings when I’m hearing that DDOT and <strong>GSA</strong> have done all they can to mitigate concern.Jamie Henson (DDOT): So are we clear on the design exception process, it’s arduous. In lieu <strong>of</strong> designexceptions, we allowed the interchange partially in our right <strong>of</strong> way and the unique design <strong>of</strong> a fly over acrossthe loop ramp which is atypical. This is our contribution to minimizing footprint.Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 20


<strong>St</strong>. Elizabeth’s <strong>West</strong> <strong>Campus</strong>Consulting Party Meeting November 8, 2011Meeting Notes <strong>GSA</strong> ROB Room 70231:30 – 4:00pmCarlton Hart (NCPC): I guess the issue that I am not hearing is when we are looking at lane widths; Iunderstand accommodating broken down vehicles. I am just not understanding the criteria; we think it’s awide street, the road plus the shoulder is wide. Is it because during winter only certain areas are plowed? Isthere something else that dictates this standard? Peter said 30 ft is wide. We have to understand.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): Which one are we discussing?Carlton Hart (NCPC): This is ramp A, going to the west campus access road. This is being presented to us asthis is where we are and this is what it will be and not what it can be. Is there further discussion we can have?Jamie Henson (DDOT): We are talking about the single lane to surface road, 6ft on the left. The question is,why does it have to be 30ft for a single lane?Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): I don’t have the latest drawing with the alphabet.Carlton Hart (NCPC): It’s the eastern lanes.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone: If you want to explain the road, in terms <strong>of</strong> the ramps they are part<strong>of</strong> the interstate.Jon Whitney (HNTB): Not necessarily part <strong>of</strong> the interstate system. AASHTO has a curb to curb minimumdepending on design to allow for passing <strong>of</strong> stalled vehicles. It’s basically a table in the green book. Also, itdepends on the horizontal alignment to maintain operations.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): One more foot or two feet, is that what this conversation is about?Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): Yes, shoulder or lane reductionsFaisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): For safe operation <strong>of</strong> the system itself, we may not make thosechanges. Again, based on standards, based on good rationale, this will not only be used by cars but also 18wheelers. I think we have already looked into that to some degree. The entire operation <strong>of</strong> the system fails ifthe standards are in place. We are already incorporating the bare minimums <strong>of</strong> for design standards. This ismuch smaller than what was presented months ago.Tammy <strong>St</strong>idham (NPS): Keep in mind that our goal is to minimize.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): Yes but we still have to look at not compromising the safety <strong>of</strong> thesystem which is most important to us.Tammy <strong>St</strong>idham (NPS): Also, keep in mind we are not talking about a freeway, we are talking about busesthat will be creeping along towards gate 4.Page 6 <strong>of</strong> 20


<strong>St</strong>. Elizabeth’s <strong>West</strong> <strong>Campus</strong>Consulting Party Meeting November 8, 2011Meeting Notes <strong>GSA</strong> ROB Room 70231:30 – 4:00pmFaisal Hameed (DDOT): Remember this is a 24 hour facility for the community as well so we are responsiblefor making it work for everyone in the communityTammy <strong>St</strong>idham (NPS): But the ramp that started this conversation is ramp “A” which will not be used by thecommunity.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): Has that been decided Nia? One day it will be transferred over tothe city which will pose a problem if we have to do it all over again.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): I am asking for a more procedural question. Will we be able to see a finaldesign after FHWA approval and engage in further discussion?Jamie Henson (DDOT): What happens if during the IJR process there is a change in design?Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): The worst case scenarioNia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): Before the IJR, we are drafting and submitting concurrently. We anticipate the IJR will benearly complete by the time <strong>GSA</strong> is done with its process. It should really be the same alignment.Rob Prunty (CH2M Hill): What we hope to do is work through the 106 process and what is turned into FHWAheadquarters. If they come back and say we cannot move forward with a design and we go back to thedrawing table, you can get into a cycle <strong>of</strong> a significant re-evaluation. We are trying to avoid not gettingapproval by headquarters because <strong>of</strong> design exceptions.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): If we make a serious change in the design, it will be reviewedagain. That is part <strong>of</strong> the process.Nancy Witherell (<strong>GSA</strong>): Do you consider the work that you’ve done to be your minimization? I would like tohave more information for visualizationFaisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): I think Nia or Jack can walk through that, it’s a huge change, andthere has been a serious look at minimizing.Nancy Witherell (<strong>GSA</strong>): I just wanted to get your assurance that you feel it is sufficient minimizing.Faisal Hameed (DDOT joined by phone): Yes, I think this is really where DDOT is.Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): Thanks Faisal, ok we can continue Jon [SLIDE]Jon Whitney (HNTB): We have retaining walls to minimize impact and parkland footprint. Zero to 5 is blue; 5-10 is green increasing up to 32 feet. The walls between bridges are quite high, and drop <strong>of</strong>f in the center <strong>of</strong>loop ramps. Along southbound 295 ramp, walls get higher. There is another wall on the parkland side toPage 7 <strong>of</strong> 20

The previous versionhad these locations. You can see the effort to move everything towards the westPeter May (NPS): Is there anything that shows a cut or a fill?Jon Whitney (HNTB): We don’t have a cross section developed for the entire section <strong>of</strong> the road.Peter May (NPS): The colors are all over the place. Could you have used shades <strong>of</strong> the same color to make iteasier to understand what this really means?Sarah Batcheler (CFA): Sort <strong>of</strong> like an altitude map?Peter May (NPS): It would also be helpful to use the same chromatic range and then shift into different colors.Jon Whitney (HNTB): OKNia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): We can do that and put it up on our website so that you can have it this weekSarah Batcheler (CFA): It’s a lot to process and figure out. I can’t really respond except to say that it doeslook like a lot <strong>of</strong> tall walls. Understanding the affects <strong>of</strong> the lane width discussion would be helpful.Jon Whitney (HNTB): I think you may get a combination <strong>of</strong> shorter or taller walls. There is no way to tell.Sarah Batcheler (CFA): Part <strong>of</strong> the problem is not just cut and fill. It’s hard on this plan to understand whenyou have six walls in a row, to see what is doing what.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): If we are looking from the houses what would you see?Sarah Batcheler (CFA): Which way is the wall retaining? It’s really hard to respond the way it is now.Connie Doyle (CI International): Peter any additional questions?Peter May (NPS): We may actually want to lay back rather than do retaining walls. I would expect that we willlook at some combination <strong>of</strong> laying back and retaining walls and what is actually being retained. It has to bevery circumstantialKirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): Will we have another chance to respond? I’m still trying to understand theprocess.Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): It’s important to understand that this is a conceptual design meetingConnie Doyle (CI International): OK, please continue [SLIDE]Page 8 <strong>of</strong> 20

We have to approve the final design.Jane Engvall (DHS): Will you describe the process <strong>of</strong> the panel and artist selection.Christine Ewing (<strong>GSA</strong>): The panel has not seen this yet. They last met to select the artist. He will thenpresent again to the Art in Architecture panel which includes curators, directors, myself etc. We meet threetimes; the last time is to select the design.The next artist is Teresita Fernández a contemporary sculptor. Her work is characterized by an interest inperception and the psychology <strong>of</strong> looking. [SLIDE] She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2003 and she isrepresented by the Lehmann Maupin Gallery. [SLIDE] She is exploring the relationship between nature and art.She was selected by President Obama to become a member <strong>of</strong> the U.S. Commission <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts. She hasreceived many awards included the MacArthur Genius Award. Just today I received a drawing <strong>of</strong> where shewants to place the art on the Coast Guard wall. She has not submitted idea yet. We will hear more from her[SLIDE]The next artist, An-My Lê, her art examines the impact, consequences, and representation <strong>of</strong> war. [SLIDE] herpictures frame a tension between the natural landscape and its violent transformation into battlefields [SLIDE]Lê explores the disjunction between wars as historical events and the ubiquitous representation <strong>of</strong> war incontemporary entertainment, politics, and collective consciousness. She has received many awards includingfellowships from the Guggenheim memorial Foundation and the NY Foundation for the arts. [SLIDE] We don’tdo a lot <strong>of</strong> photographers so; she is unique. She will schedule trips to take the photos. She has been approvedand will take trips with the Coast Guard to take photos, about 27 photos. Until they are done we are not surewhere they will go.We are planning to have this completed by 2013 by the completion <strong>of</strong> the buildingThomas Luebke (CFA): It goes through our review processChristine Ewing (<strong>GSA</strong>): YesThomas Luebke (CFA): What is the Art in Architecture process?Christine Luebke (CFA): We have a panel process that makes a selectionPage 11 <strong>of</strong> 20

(Cont.) Shepherd Parkway Transportation Alternatives Presentation - Cultural Resources ImpactAssessmentCharles Cheek (John Milner Associates): I will talk about resources at I-295/Malcolm X Avenue,archeological site 51 and Oak Tree – 65 inch caliper. Also resources at Southern section <strong>of</strong> access road,archeological site 51 SE, Civil War Road and grove <strong>of</strong> older trees [SLIDE] I will show you the differencesbetween “A” variance and “B” variance. In 1A the interchange is pushed into the site 2A has less <strong>of</strong> an impactbecause it is pushed back. B alternatives have a lesser impact. They are pulled down to the west [SLIDE]This is the difference between alternative 2 and hybrid alternative 2B. Alternative 2 the road goes right throughthe center <strong>of</strong> the site. Alternative 2B had a much tighter ramp than Alternative 2. Using GIS, this Alternativesaves 3,800 sq. feet. [SLIDE] The originally disturbed area extended between 42 to 50 linear feet from theedge <strong>of</strong> the existing road. Minimization reduced that to 25 feet from the edge <strong>of</strong> existing road. The grove <strong>of</strong>older trees originally the entire grove is impacted. Minimization preserves more than half. [SLIDE] The Oaktree will be impacted equally by all alternatives. Eligible archeological site will be impacted about 3,800 sq.feet less by Alternate 2B than by Alternate 2. On the Southern section <strong>of</strong> the access road, both resources willhave less impact.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): At the mid November 2010 meeting and the last meeting, I made a commentregarding adverse affects to the historic homes, if there are historic homes in Boling?Charles Cheek (JMA): We did address that now that you mention. I think we were not allowed to access thisarea (Comparison <strong>of</strong> hybrid alt slide)Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): The issue is the wall and trees, I don’t know if there will be seasonal views. They’rerelatively close to the read. I can’t say for sure. One <strong>of</strong> the <strong>GSA</strong> people who has been on the site said youcan’t see but we can’t say for sure.Carlton Hart (NCPC): If you need some kind <strong>of</strong> contact over there I have one.Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): It’s a specific area that we do not have access toCarlton Hart (NCPC): We’ve had access; if you need a contact let me know.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): We asked about a year ago so if you would let us know that would be great.III. (Cont.) Shepherd Parkway Transportation Alternatives Presentation – DHS Master Plan AmendmentJon Whitney (HNTB): We used the same positioning on the views; you may remember what was done in thepast.

The grade is actually going up towards this bridge high enough to get over 295 where it crossesover.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): To the right <strong>of</strong> this pictureJon Whitney (HNTB): You can see a little bit <strong>of</strong>f the edge. It’s heavily wooded along here; a retaining wallsystem is to protect the dense wooded areaKirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): I would like to get more information about thatJon Whitney (HNTB): OK, you can see how dense the tree growth is there [SLIDE] The last image is image 9.The roads are completely reconfigured in this picture. Push a little further to the south and west. Ramp B thatties to the access road is to the right. Then you have the fly over from 295.Charles Cheek (JMA): Go back to slide number 8 [SLIDE] U-8, this particular view has a greater impact thanthe previous view. The other views are all basically the same with minor differences this one has the mostnoticeable change.V. Outstanding Issues and Wrap UpDanielle Breaux (<strong>GSA</strong>): I just want to open up for any questions regarding process and Shepherd Parkway. Iwill send an email around with updates. We are calling this a process MOA, we are still working through some<strong>of</strong> the details. There is another MOA that will be dealt with in the future after the EIS is completed. Then wewill go into a design phase.Nancy Witherell (<strong>GSA</strong>): and we will communicate by emailDanielle Breaux (<strong>GSA</strong>): We have to work out permission issues re Bolling; I don’t want you to think we haveforgotten.Kirsten Brinker-Kulis (ACHP): So if you are addressing this in the January meeting and there are adverseaffects it may be tough to integrate them.Nia Francis (<strong>GSA</strong>): Why don’t we find out if they are historic?Nancy Witherell (<strong>GSA</strong>): They are because they are in the Boling AFB district.Page 13 <strong>of</strong> 20
