INTRODUCTION:

Fort Indiantown Gap is located in south-central Pennsylvania, approximately 22 miles northeast of the state capital, Harrisburg along Interstate 81. Fort Indiantown Gap is approximately 11 miles long and five miles wide and contains approximately 17,000 acres of land. Most of Fort Indiantown Gap, including all of its buildings and facilities, lies in the northwest corner of Lebanon County and East Hanover and Union Townships. The western-most part of Fort Indiantown Gap’s firing range extends into Dauphin County. Blue Mountain, the southern-most ridge of the Blue Mountains, separates the cantonment area from the training areas. Most training areas are located in the valley between Blue and Second Mountains.

The purpose of the Installation Design Guide for Fort Indiantown Gap is to provide a consolidated quick reference guide for contractors and architectural and engineering firms to assist in the planning, design and development of new construction and renovation projects that will reflect consistency in materials, colors, fixture type and maintenance procedures. The Design Guide will attempt to address common and unique design features that are exclusive to structures on Fort Indiantown Gap. This Design Guide is not intended to be all inclusive, but will serve as a solid preparatory guideline for planners, architects, contractors and designers. As deviations from this Design Guide will certainly arise, each can be addressed on a case by case basis. This Design Guide does not constitute a construction specification, but rather establishes parameters with which to design and construct facilities in Fort Indiantown Gap.

Energy and Environmental Design – New Construction (LEED-NC®). For all FY 08 military vertical building construction and later year projects, the Army sustainable rating level standard is the US Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED-NC® Silver rating. See Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installation and Housing) Memorandum, dated 05 January 2006, subject:

Sustainable Design and Development Policy Update – SPiRiT to LEED Transition, paragraph 2. LEED Project Checklists are available on the web at www.usgbc.org.

The Security and Antiterrorism Standards will be integrated into the total project.

Design of protective elements will seek to visually function enhance and complement the design of a facility. Site elements such as fences, courtyards, screen walls, swales, berms, planters, and retaining walls can be used effectively for facility protection. These design elements will be designed to provide visual harmony with the main facility, producing architectural compatibility through consistent use and application of materials, forms, and colors. Accommodating the need for security and antiterrorism is a significant concern for all military facilities design.

Design decisions to meet security and antiterrorism requirements and resolve conflicts will require coordination among the design disciplines and appropriate functional areas to include land planners, landscape architects, architects, intelligence personnel, security personnel, Force Protection Officer, facility users, and engineers. The designers must work to balance force protection requirements with all other requirements that impact design and development.

These include the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), National Fire Protection Codes (NFPA), and all applicable local building codes, ordinances, and Host Nation Standards. The design team will also consult security personnel to determine whether portions of the design documents are subject to access limitations.

A. TSFE is the proponent for all construction projects its staff oversees at Fort Indiantown Gap. In order to assess the potential environmental impacts of proposed construction projects and the type of NEPA documentation required, the TSFE will coordinate with the Environmental

Division and prepare a ARNG REC Form 1 June 03 (see attachment) prior to start of construction.

B. The TSFE should coordinate with the Environmental Division (ENV), Environmental NEPA Planning Supervisor as early in the planning process as possible.

C. For MILCON projects, ENV should be contacted one year in advance of construction if possible. (Environmental Assessments can take from six months to three years depending on their complexity; therefore, in order to maintain construction timelines the Environmental Division should be notified as soon as possible.)

D. For minor construction, the Environmental Division should be notified ninety days in advance of construction.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET 0 - The TSFE (proponent) will identify the proposed action (project) and the purpose of the project as well as why the project is needed. In addition, for Environmental Assessments (EA) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) the TSFE will also provide reasonable alternatives to the proposed project. These alternatives should also satisfy all or some of the same needs as the proposed project, alternatives to the project likely do not satisfy all the requirements.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET 1 - The DFE/CFMO will provide funding to prepare EAs and EIS’s where contractor support is required.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET 2 - The TSFE (proponent) will ensure that the required NEPA documentation (and supporting documentation) is completed prior to construction and that such documentation adequately addresses the project regardless of who the author is.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET 3 - If mitigation measures are required as part of an EA or EIS, the proponent will ensure adequate funding to perform all mitigation for the prescribed time. For example, if wetlands must be constructed to replace one impacted by construction than the proponent must ensure enough funding is available for the replacement wetlands construction. In addition, regulators typically require monitoring of constructed wetlands for several years. The proponent will ensure funding is available for such monitoring.
