N6247241_GRC Existing Farmland Plot_ESA REPORT FINAL_revised - signed.pdf

This is an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Report prepared for an existing farmland plot at NASA's Glenn Research Center (GRC) Neil Armstrong Test Facility (ATF) in Sandusky, Ohio. The report documents the environmental conditions and potential liabilities associated with one of the five land parcels being offered for lease under the Announcement for Proposal (AFP-GRC-ATFLP-2026). The ESA provides critical environmental baseline information necessary for prospective tenants to understand site conditions, potential contamination issues, and environmental compliance requirements before submitting proposals for leasing portions of the approximately 1,736-acre facility.

The report serves as supporting documentation for the lease opportunity closing on July 2, 2026, and would be made available to prospective proposers during the site visit scheduled for April 16, 2026. Prospective tenants must request site visits no later than March 27, 2026, and the Q&A period closes April 30, 2026. The ESA findings would inform tenant decisions regarding proposed land use, operational planning, and environmental management strategies for their leased parcels. This assessment is essential due diligence documentation as part of NASA's Enhanced Use Lease Agreement process for the underutilized parcels within the fee area of the ATF.
