Mr. Benjamin Reifel, Chairman
National Capital Planning Commission,
1325 G Street, N. W.
Washington, D. C. 20576
Dear Mr. Reifel:
The Commission at its meeting on 5 August 1971, approved the
preliminary site and building plans for the motor pool garage at the
Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters, Langley, Virginia. The
Commission also requested that the Central Intelligence Agency complete
a preliminary master plan for the Langley site. Pursuant to this request
the Central Intelligence Agency submits a preliminary master plan and
draft environmental description for Commission review. However, other
than the motor pool garage there is no program or schedule for any other
construction.
This preliminary master plan reflects the desired consolidation
of the Agency at Langley. If it is ever implemented it would conform to
the limits on Federal employee planning levels for the area as established
by the Commission - personnel figures and.statistics other than as presented
in the environmental description cannot as you appreciate be specified. The

 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
preliminary plan conforms to the Commission's Comprehensive Plan
for the National Capital. Also as indicated in the environmental
description if this plan were to be implemented its impact on the
environment would be minor.
It is requested that this Agency be granted an executive hearing
during the October session for both the master plan and the final approval
of the motor pool garage based on the foregoing information and that to be
discussed with the Commission's staff. Since it is Agency policy to avoid
publicity whenever possible it is also requested that the attached preliminary
master'and environmental description be reviewed for conformity with the
Comprehensive Plan without being made public. This request is believed
to be particularly justified since there is no schedule or program for
implementation other than for the motor pool garage.

DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL DESCRIPTION
1. General
This draft environmental description is issued in compliance with Section
102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and Executive Or-
ders 11507 and 11514 for the Protection and Enhancement of Environmental
Quality in the National Capital Region.
The Central Intelligence Agency foresees no adverse environmental ef-
fects resulting from the preliminary master plan concept and from the po-
tential construction that maybe required to implement this plan.
The Central Intelligence Agency supports the intent of the Environmental
Policy Act to improve the quality of the environment. In keeping with the
spirit of the Act, the following general description and information is fur-
nished regarding the relative impact upon the environment of the preliminary
master plan concept and the associated long range construction involved as
limited by specific Agency needs and budgetary constraints at any point in
time. Upon implementation each phase of the concept would be designed and
constructed to comply with all environmental and ecological standards in
effect at that time.
When the Headquarters Building was designed and constructed (1955-1962),
insufficient funding made it impossible for the Agency to be consolidated in
Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
one location. Personnel and functions not accommodated in the new Head-
quarters Building remained in other facilities in the District of Columbia,
Fairfax and Arlington Counties, Virginia.
This preliminary master plan provides for the desired consolidation of
the Central Intelligence Agency on existing federal property assigned to the
Agency, and two parcels of land owned by private individuals and assigned
to General Services Administration. The use of the private property (32. 2
acres), which is subject to life tenancy estates, and the General Services
Administration assigned property (6. 8 acres) would contribute to the im-
plementation of the master plan in stages. The master plan indicates sev-
eral low profile structures with a cumulative total area of less than one mil-
lion gross square feet of building space. In keeping with the comprehensive
plan, a low architectural profile is stressed between proposed and existing
structures as well as the general topography of the area which permits the
proposed structures to be screened behind and below the tree lines and earth
berms. The master plan concept is intended to create a low silhouette cam-
pus-like atmosphere and to achieve the aesthetic and functional coordination
of the entire facility.
II. Impact of the Preliminary Master Plan on the Natural Aspects of the En-
vironment.
a. Population
Projected Agency population under the proposed master plan is within the
National Capital Planning Commission's guidelines for the area and includes

 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
known projected increases of the Fairbank Highway Research Station, Fed-
eral Highway Administration. At the present time at Headquarters, 68 per-
cent of our employees reside in Virginia, 22 percent in Maryland, and 10 per-
cent in the District of Columbia. It is noted that the percentage for Maryland
has remained constant for the past ten years whereas the District of Columbia
percentage has declined from 33 percent ten years ago to its present 10 percent.
The Agency is somewhat unique in that our employees serve the Agency
wherever the need arises according to a rotation system which also enhances
personnel growth and experience. Employees are transferred between Head-
quarters and Metropolitan area facilities for varying and intermittent lengths
of time. In view of these circumstances, Agency personnel have made it a
practice to locate their residences within convenient commuting distance of
the Langley Headquarters Building. An overwhelming number of employees
reside within 30 minutes commuting time to Headquarters. This fact and
supporting data indicate that minimal numbers of personnel relocations would
result due to such an Agency consolidation at Langley. Ten percent of the
personnel to be relocated now work in the District of Columbia with the other
90 percent in Arlington and Fairfax Counties, Virginia. Specific numbers of
employees have not been presented since personnel data are classified infor-
mation under the Director of Central Intelligence's statutory authority to pro-
tect intelligence sources and methods, as prescribed by the National Security
Act of 1947.

 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
b. Traffic and Air Pollution
Utilization of public transportation serving the Headquarters building
is minimal at the present time. However, those personnel utilizing public
transportation reside within 45 minutes commuting time. According to the
results of an in-house Agency survey, less than two and a half percent of
our employees utilize public transportation and the remainder use private
transportation. The WV&M Bus Company has a pending application for re-
duction of services. A survey of vehicular access patterns to the Head-
quarters site reveals that 45 percent of Agency personnel arrive via the
George Washington Memorial Parkway, 41 percent via Dolley Madison Boul-
evard (Virginia Route 123), and 14 percent via Georgetown Pike (Virginia
Route 193). The Virginia Department of Highways has scheduled improve-
ments to the Georgetown Pike (Virginia Route 193) for 1985. It is anticipated
that the majority of Virginia drivers utilizing the George Washington Mem-
orial Parkway will use the Georgetown Pike at that time and the utilization of
these three major highways will be equalized.
Of the Agency employees to be relocated to Headquarters, 69 percent re-
side in Virginia, 21 percent in Maryland, and 10 percent in the District of
Columbia. Since the majority of Agency facilities are in Virginia and residen-
tial patterns are in fairly close proximity to the Headquarters Building it is
projected that mileage and travel time for the overwhelming majority of per-
sonnel will be reduced by 25 percent except for those residing in the District

of Columbia will travel in the reverse flow of peak traffic on the George
Washington Memorial Parkway and Virginia Route 123 during high peak
traffic hours. The net effect of this decrease in travel time would result
in a reduction of vehicular air pollution in this region. Continuing joint
efforts and coordination by the Agency, General Services Administration
and Environmental Protection Agency relative to air pollution from power
plant heat producing equipment has brought both qualitative and quantitative
particulate and gaseous emissions within the standards of the Environmental
Protection Agency.
c. Water and Sewerage
The potable water supply is obtained from the District of Columbia as its
source and is provided to the Agency through the jurisdiction of the City of
Falls Church. The existing system has the capacity to supply standard quan-
tities of water for the projected increase of personnel and functions, and is in
reality a redistribution of existing supply loads. It is therefore anticipated
that this master plan when implemented will have little, if any, impact upon
the Metropolitian Washington Council of Governments' Water and Sewerage
Plan and Program 1971-1972.
The existing Headquarters sanitary sewer system has an adequate reserve
capacity to handle the projected increase due to the fact that it was designed
and constructed to do so. The sewage lift station on site is owned, operated,
and maintained by Fairfax County and the ultimate effluent destination is the
Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : C A-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
Blue Plains Sewerage Treatment in the District of Columbia. In order to
ensure that the present and projected effluent content meets established
standards, the '-hiladelphia Office of the Office of Water Programs, En-
vironmental Protection Agency is in the process of conducting qualitative
and quantitative assessment of the physical, chemical, and thermal char-
acteristics of the residue. This master plan, when implemented, will
have no additional. adverse effect on water quality standards in the region
as the Agency will comply with regulations in effect.
d. Land Use
Development of the site as planned will take advantage of the few open
areas to the maximum extent possible. The natural wooded land area
screens to the north, east, and south portions of the site will be undis-
turbed to continue providing natural visual and security buffer zones. The
land area to the west, facing Turkey Run Park, National Park Service, will
become a landscaped buffer zone to shield and preserve the natural effects
of the parklands and rovide a security buffer zone. The completed facility
will appear as a large wooded area when viewed from outside the site. Twenty
nine percent of the existing site (213 + acres) is developed (roads, structures,
and parking), 44 percent landscaped, and 27 percent undisturbed. With the
implementation of the master plan and the additional 38 + acres, the percentages
will be 34 percent developed, 43 percent landscaped, and 23 percent undisturbed.

 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
e. Ecological Systems
It is believed that the effect on ecological systems will be minor in that
a large percentage of the area will be retained in its natural undisturbed
state and will continue to provide a buffer one with the remaining area en-
hanced by landscaping. The original site is completely fenced and has been
for more than twelve years. The recently acquired property from FHWA
excess land is now being fenced. There is little, if any, wildlife in the area
JC
~? ,
other than birds and to this end, it is a sanctuary and ar _ a nt of
the biota.
Storm drainage follows the natural drainage systems into the Potomac
River and siltation is kept to a minimum since the ground cover is well es-
tablished in the area. Storm drainage from the area, therefore, would
have little or no abnormal effect on marine life in the Potomac River. If
deemed necessary storm drainage could be impounded in conjunction with
the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Water and Sewerage
Plan and Program 1971-1972.
f. Housing
It is a well publicized fact that there is an inadequate supply of housing
for low and moderate income groups in the Metropolitan Washington Area.
The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments "Housing Policies and
Programs 1971" states that their objective is to present a concerted effort
Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
in overcoming the areas housing rroblems. It is believed that by the time
this master plan is implemented, Agency employees who are presently in
this low and moderate income group will have taken advantage of housing
opportunities available to them. The Agency is concerned in meeting and
sustaining its commitments to equal employment opportunities. To this
end 2.5 percent of those to be relocated are in the low income status of
which less than four percent are in the minority group. Thirty-two percent
of the personnel to be relocated are in the moderate income status of which
10 Iercent are in a minority group. Of the 1-ersonnel currently in the low
income status 30 percent reside in the District of Columbia (NW). Sixty-
three percent reside in Virginia with the remaining 7 percent in Maryland. Those
in the moderate income status have the following places of residence; 13 percent
District of Columbia, (1 '2 NW, 1/4 NE, and 1/4 SE), 76 percent in Virginia and
11 percent in Maryland. In view of the current distribution of employees by
place of residence, the Agency will be in compliance with regulatory procedures
on housing of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and General
Services Administration as announced in the Federal Register, Volume 37, No.
110, pages 11367-11371 and 11371-11374 respectively, dated June 7, 1972.
III. Resources
The irreversable or irritrievable commitment of resources under this
master plan is expressed in the commitment of land and monetary resources

 Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP86-01019R000200170002-4
for the construction necessary for its implementation. However, anticipated
monetary savings will amortize the master plan implementation within ac-
ceptable accounting procedures and therefore the short term (millennium)
uses of mans environment will enhance the maintenance of long term produc-
tivity.
