Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) proposes to upgrade the existing Aquatics Research Laboratory in the 331 Building, in the 300 Area of the Hanford Site, Benton County, Washington. A new 5,200 square foot enclosed space will be constructed over the footprint of an existing open-air facility presently used for raising spring and fall Chinook salmon. The function of the facility will not change after the upgrade. The proposed upgrade is located on the south side of the 331 Building between two parking areas. To the east is a paved and landscaped parking lot and to the west is a paved parking area and loading dock. The proposed enclosed facility will be approximately 65 feet (19.8 meters) wide by 80 feet (24.4 meters) long and will be connected to the 331 Building.
