An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared in accordance with the regulations set forth by the Council on Environmental Quality NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500-1508), and Title 38, Part 26.4(a), Environmental Effects of VA Actions, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The EA is incorporated by reference into the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The Notice of Availability for the EA was published in the San Francisco Chronicle for five consecutive days occurring between 16 September and 20 September 2010. The NOA identified the 30-day public review and comment period (16 September to 16 October 2010).  Fifteen copies of the EA and Notice of Availability were sent to the State Clearinghouse for distribution to applicable state agencies for review. The VA received four public comments (letters and electronic transmissions) during the public review period of the EA, including a Department of Interior letter dated October 13, 2010. Responses were prepared to provide clarification and to address comments related to the environmental analysis contained within the EA.  In addition, the Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) provided an electronic transmission subsequent to the public comment period that they have no comments regarding this EA (E. Carroll, May 2011).   The FONSI and EA can be accessed here: FONSI Final EA For further information and/or a copy of the FONSI or final EA, please contact: Emmanuel Bernal, Energy Manager San Francisco VA Medical Center 4150 Clement Street San Francisco, CA 94121 Phone: (415) 221-4810 x 3822 emmanuel.bernal@va.gov
