NASA is consulting with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (54 U.S.C. §306108), as amended, and its implementing regulations at 36 CFR Part 800. Along with the letter, NASA submitted a Section 106 technical report prepared by Stantec May 11, 2020, that provides Section 106 analysis, project maps, and photographs. As previously described, NASA’s structural engineering studies have led the agency to the conclusion that Hangar 3 is structurally deficient, unsafe, and vulnerable to damage or partial collapse. In analyzing project alternatives, NASA finds that repairs to return the building to occupancy would be “extensive, undefinable, and cost-prohibitive,” and, therefore, proposes to demolish the building. The proposed undertaking, as described, involves: • Systematic, controlled demo of Hangar 3 down to the concrete slab, including any necessary hazardous material abatement.

His experience and expertise have enabled Derk to attain the status of top producing agent in the local Alain Pinel office, as well as being among the elite agents in the United States. Derk’s philosophy of client service differs significantly from most top producing agents. He offers a hands-on, personal approach to the sale of a home. This extends from the preparation process through the close of escrow. Rather than handing a client off to a series of assistants, Derk manages every aspect of the sale including property prep, marketing, open houses, negotiation, and closing. This provides a seamless transaction from beginning to end. Alain Pinel Realtors’ partnership with Luxury Portfolio International ensures that in addition to local and national marketing, Derk’s clients benefit from extensive international exposure through a large network of brokerages throughout the world.
