TA-III Sub-Area Plan: Overview & Summary

The TA-III / Remote Areas Sub-Area Plan is currently under development. Planning concepts being considered are: (1) Continue to use and preserve large tracts of land for large-scale mission-related testing, associated buffers, waste management, and open space; (2) Identify investments to protect, sustain, and recapitalize these specialized assets; (3) Identify opportunities to consolidate common functions in order to reduce operating costs; (4) Explore the potential to enhance employee support facilities and services for those who work in remote areas; and (5) Extend / fill critical gaps in telecommunication infrastructure to TA-III and remote areas.

TA-V Sub-Area Plan: Overview & Summary

The TA-V Sub-Area Plan is currently under development. A major input into the plan will be the results of a strategic planning study to be conducted in FY 2016 that will investigate the long-term programmatic future for TA-V. Anticipated planning issues to be explored include: (1) Nature of future programs and facility needs; (2) Recapitalization needed to sustain key facilities and resources; (3) Validation of existing land use as a remote nuclear research and radiation testing site; (4) Physical security requirements including the need to sustain or reconfigure the existing Perimeter Intrusion Detection and Assessment System (PIDAS); (5) Environmental remediation and restoration strategy; and (6) Site design improvements needed to enhance the quality of the working environment.

KTF Sub-Area Plan: Overview & Summary

The KTF Sub-Area Plan is currently under development. Finalization awaits decisions regarding the long-term future of the site. The sub-area plan will build upon previous master plans, facilities and infrastructure (F&I) revitalization plans, and building studies. Planning concepts under consideration are: (1) Replace facilities with a combination of new permanent and non-permanent space; and (2) Complete deferred maintenance at remaining facilities.

CA Sub-Area Plan: Overview & Summary

The Plan seeks to: (1) Maintain current Research and Development (R&D), manufacturing, and administration land use; (2) Create a new corporate entrance and “front door” on the east side of the campus in an expanded General Access Area; (3) Make security changes to expand the Limited Areas to accommodate growth in classified programs, and expand the General Access Area to promote collaboration with the private sector in concert with general Livermore Valley Open Campus (LVOC) development; (4) Organize and consolidate mission capability groups on campus; and (5) Enhance the quality of the working environment through pedestrian and bicycle circulation, landscape, recreational and sustainable site design improvements.

Long-Range Development Framework

The Long-Range Development Framework (LRDF) guides effective, efficient, and sustainable land and infrastructure development for Sandia National Laboratories’ (SNL) New Mexico and California campuses. The LRDF is SNL’s seminal site planning document. Similar to a municipal planning document, it articulates a long-range development vision, framework goals, and a set of integrated development principles for land use, security, transportation, and environmental sustainability. The LRDF is neither a project planning document, nor does it recommend or eliminate specific projects; rather, it introduces planning concepts and provides guidance regarding effective, efficient, and sustainable site development.

TA-II Sub-Area Plan: Overview & Summary

Technical Area II is a brownfield site with a central, but “backyard” location that makes it a perfect area for site-support activities, particularly those that can be relocated from the TA-I “front-yard.” TA-II has a large amount of undeveloped land that should be held in reserve for future R&D mission work. Specifically, the Sub-Area Plan recommends: (1) Accommodating primarily site-support land uses, including site-support functions that can be relocated from TA-I; (2) Preserving land for future mission development opportunities which also protects sensitive environmental areas; (3) Locating future development along the Hardin and 9th Avenue corridors where existing infrastructure exists; and (4) Constructing critical infrastructure links (e.g., roads and utilities).

TTR Sub-Area Plan: Overview & Summary

The TTR Sub-Area Plan is currently under development and is significantly influenced by National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) decisions about permitting and environmental regulatory compliance issues. The sub-area plan will build upon previous draft master plans, F&I revitalization plans, and building studies. Planning concepts under consideration are: Continue to use and preserve large tracts of land for large-scale mission-related testing; Identify investments to protect, sustain, and recapitalize infrastructure, facilities, and equipment assets; Identify opportunities to dispose of obsolete facilities and consolidate common functions in order to reduce operating costs.
