Pursuant to Executive Order S-20-04, CDCR is designing and will construct the new buildings to meet minimum LEED Silver design standards_ Renovation work of existing buildings would include window/door hardware repairs, electrical repairs, mechanical repairs, and upgrades for the lighting and fire alarm system. Existing buildings would be brought up to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design, CDCR Design Criteria Guidelines (DCG), and the California State Building Code requirements_ Existing buildings would also be analyzed for potential LEED Silver certification. Site infrastructure upgrades would include distribution systems for water supply and storage, wastewater systems, natural gas distribution system, telecommunication systems, and primary and secondary electrical distribution systems. Site security improvements would include a lethal electrified perimeter fence in between a double security fence topped with barbed tape, appropriate lighting, and perimeter guard towers, including one tower at the vehicle/pedestrian sallyport. A chain link fence with slats would be provided to physically and visually separate the adult correctional facilities from the remaining DJJ facilities at the NCYCC complex_ Armed supervision and gun access would be provided consistent with CDCR policy. Other I improvements include the construction of roads, parking, inmate recreation yards, and site grading. This facility would employ approximately 450 employees, including correctional officers, medical and mental health professionals, and other support staff working around the clock in three 8-hour shifts. The project would operate 24 hours per day, T days per week. Construction of this proposed facility is anticipated to begin in spring 2011 with an initial activation date of December 2013. Construction work shifts and worker parking arrangements would be the same as described above for the NCRF project, except that construction activities on the proposed DeWitt Nelson facility may extend into evening hours and potentially include weekends. Both the NCRF project and DeWitt Nelson project would include environmental protection measures related to water quality protection and earthquake resistant design. Water-quality- related protection measures require preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, as well as additional measures to reduce impacts related to stormwater quality. The protection measures related to earthquake resistant design require preparation of a geotechnical design study and incorporation of its recommendations. The EIR will describe these environmental protection measures in greater detail. DJJ INFRASTRUCTURE RELOCATION/COMBINED PERIMETER SECURITY FENCE DJJ Infrastructure Relocation Conversion of the DeWitt-Nelson facility as an adult prison will require the relocation and replacement of some existing shared DJJ infrastructure, support buildings, and a portion_of the corporation yard situated at the northern end of the site plan (See Exhibit 4). These infrastructure elements would be reconstructed in an area situated between the O. H. Close and Chaderjian facilities immediately west of where they are generally now situated_ This includes water tanks, fuel storage, a fueling station for vehicles, a boiler house, a plant operations building, vehicle maintenance, and driveways. The boiler house, which produces steam for food preparation areas at the DJJ, would be reduced in size because it would now NCRF and DeWitt Nelson Conversion Project Revised Notice of Preparationflnitial Study Califomia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation 13 August 2010
