About this file

This document is a Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) for a Federal Protective Service (FPS) project to replace the intrusion detection system and video surveillance system at the Paul D. Wellstone Federal Building located at 212 Third Avenue South in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The project is categorically excluded from extensive environmental review under DHS CATEX A5, B8*, and B9* classifications, indicating minimal environmental impact. The proposed action involves installing new security equipment within an existing building constructed in 1913, with a project cost of $285,545, funded in fiscal year 2025, and scheduled to start on 05/01/2025 and end on 07/01/2025.

The environmental review determined no significant adverse effects on public health, species habitats, historic preservation, or environmental conditions. The project received a "No effect" determination for the Endangered Species Act and National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 review. The building's historical status was noted, with GSA consultation confirming that the Statement of Work contains appropriate language to address potential historic preservation concerns. The project is considered a routine security system upgrade with no extraordinary environmental circumstances, and it requires no additional federal, state, or local permits beyond standard compliance procedures.

DDHS Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) for Categorically Excluded Actions under NEPA

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) is to provide a record that the potential for impacts to the quality of the human environment has been considered in the decision to implement the Proposed Action described below, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and DHS Directive 023-01 and Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01 on implementation of NEPA. DHS integrates the NEPA process with review and compliance requirements under other Federal laws, regulations, Executive Orders, and other requirements for the stewardship and protection of the human environment, as reflected in Section II (8) of this REC.

9. This action is not expected to result in any significant adverse environmental impacts as described in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The proposed action has been thoroughly reviewed by the DHS Headquarters and it has been determined, by the undersigned, that this action is categorically excluded under current DHS CATEX AA5,B8*,B9* from further environmental documentation, in accordance with Section 3 of DHS Directive 023-01, Environmental Planning Program since implementation of this action:

I. Clearly fits within one or more of the categories of excludable actions listed in Appendix A of DHS Instruction 023-01-001-01;

II. Is not a piece of a larger action which has been segmented into smaller parts in order to avoid a more extensive evaluation of the potential for significant environmental impacts;

III. Does not involve any extraordinary circumstances, as defined in DHS Instruction 023-01-001-01, Section V(B)(2), that would create the potential for a normally excluded action to have a significant environmental effect.

SECTION IV - Conditions

10. The following conditions are required to implement the Proposed Action:

Any change to the Proposed Action that may cause a physical interaction with the human environment will require re-evaluation for compliance with NEPA and other EP&HP requirements before the action can proceed.

This review addresses NEPA and other EP&HP requirements as described in DHS Directive 023-01. This review may identify the need for additional federal, state, and/or local permits, approvals, etc. required for the Proposed Action. However, this review may not satisfy those requirements and the Proponent is responsible for ensuring that all other appropriate federal, state, and/or local permits, approvals, etc. have been obtained.
