<br />ENVIRONMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE
<br />Group A-7b
<br />Categorical Exclusion CX-B: Laboratory Scale Research, Bench Scale Research, Pilot Scale Research, Proof-of-
<br />Concept Scale Reseazch, or Field Test Research. Work DOES NOT involve new building/facilities construction and
<br />site excavation/groundbreaking activities. This work typically involves routine operation of exiStlnE laboratories,
<br />commercial buildings/properties, offices and homes, project test facilities, factories/powerp1ants, vehicles test stands
<br />and components, refueling facilities, utility systems, or other existing structures/facilities. Work will NOT involve
<br />major change in facilities missions and operations, land use planning, new/modified regulatory/operating permit
<br />requirements. Includes work specific to routine DOE Site operations and Lab reseazch work activities, but NOT
<br />building construction and site preparation. DOE work typically involves laboratory facilities and lab equipment
<br />operations, buildings and grounds management activities; and buildings and facilities maintenance, repairs,
<br />reconfiguration, remodeling, equipment use and replacement.
<br />Group A-7c
<br />Categorical Exclusion CX-B, Enduonmentat Assessment (EA), Environmental Impact Statement (EIS): Pilot Test
<br />Facilities Construction, Pilot Scale Research, Field Scale Demonstration, or Commercial Scale Application. Work
<br />typically involves facility construction, site preparation/excavation/groundbreaking, and/or demolition. This work
<br />would include construction, retrofit, replacement, and/or major modifications of laboratories, test facilities, energy
<br />system prototypes, and power generation infrastructure. Work may also involve construction and maintenance of
<br />utilities system right-of--ways, roads, vehicle test facilities, commercial buildings/properties, fuel refinery/mixing
<br />facilities, refueling facility, power plants, underground wells, and pipelines, and other types of energy research related
<br />facilities. This work may require new or modified regulatory permits, environmental sampling and monitoring
<br />requirements, master planning, public involvement, and environmental impact review. Includes work specific to DOE
<br />Site Operations and Lab operation activities involving building and facilities construction, replacement,
<br />decotnmissioning/demolition, site preparation, land use changes, or change in research facilities mission or operations.
<br />Other (please describe):
<br />If all work activities related to this project can be classified and described within categories under item A-7a, it is a
<br />categorically excluded action. Proceed directly to Section IV CERTIFICATIONBYPROPOSER, completing
<br />information and signatures as requested The questionnaire is now complete and no additional information is
<br />project work activities are described under either item(s) A-7b, orA-7c.; then continue filling out questionnaire
<br />artinQ below with Question A. B.
<br />Si~mm~ri~e the objectives of the proposed work. List activities planned at the location as covered by this
<br />Environmental Questionnaire.
<br />List all other locations where work would be performed by the primary contractor of the project and primary
<br />subcontractor(s). (Note: An environmental questionnaire may be required for each new location after reviewing the
<br />SOW/SOPO, project scope, tasks, and environmental affects).
