Poplar Point Redevelopment Draft EIS, Nov 2010, Chapter 3 3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT This page is intentionally left blank 3.1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC RESOURCES This page is intentionally left blank Poplar Point Redevelopment Draft Environmental Impact Statement 3.1.1 Land Use The Poplar Point Project Area is located within Anacostia Park in the southeast quadrant of Washington, DC. Land uses within and around the Project Area were inventoried to characterize the current setting. The inventories were conducted using existing reports, field inspections and surveys, comprehensive plans, aerial photography, and maps. The Land Use study area includes the Poplar Point Project Area and a surrounding context area with a radius of approximately one to two miles. A larger study area is necessary for this analysis because changes to land use or development patterns at the scale contemplated under the Action Alternatives would likely have impacts beyond the immediate location. 3.1.1.1 Project Area Land Uses The current land use classification for the Project Area is parkland/open space. Specific land uses within Poplar Point include the NPS Administrative Complex, former plant nurseries, transportation infrastructure, and parkland/open space. The remainder of the Project Area, including southern Anacostia Park and the North Field, consists of parkland/open space. Specific land uses include the Anacostia Field House, boat launch, riverwalk, playfields, playgrounds, picnic facilities, tennis and basketball courts, meadows, a skate pavilion, and parking. 3.1.1.2 Adjacent Land Uses There are a variety of land uses within the vicinity of the Poplar Point Project Area. While the adjacent areas generally consist of infrastructure or government use, there are a number of existing residential neighborhoods and ongoing redevelopment projects in the nearby area. Figure 3.1.1 shows the existing and proposed uses in the vicinity of the Project Area. The northern portion of Anacostia Park is located north and west of the Project Area. It contains a total of more than 1,200 acres, including the Project Area, and extends north to encompass Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens, the Langston Golf Course and Kenilworth Marsh. Anacostia Park is owned by the federal government and managed by NPS. A large parking garage for WMATA’s Anacostia Station occupies approximately 9 acres adjacent to the Poplar Point Project Area. The Metro garage serves riders on Metro’s Green Line. Also adjacent to the Project Area, the Howard Road parcels encompass approximately 11 acres of land located along Howard Road north of I- 295. These parcels are privately owned and have been in negotiations for redevelopment. Other nearby uses include a WASA pump station located amongst the ramps leading to the Anacostia Freeway, and the Anacostia Naval Station. The pump station is a two-story structure that pumps combined wastewater from the Anacostia Main Interceptor to the outfall sewers that lead to the Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Anacostia Naval Station is located west of the Project Area and it is home to the Defense Information System Agency’s White House Communications Agency and the Navy Housing Office. Bolling Air Force Base is located south of the Anacostia Naval Station near the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers. It hosts the 11th Wing and the primary mission is to provide comprehensive Affected Environment 3.1-1 Socio-Economic Resources Poplar Point Redevelopment base operating support to all assigned Air Force organizations and personnel along with flagship ceremonial and musical ambassadorship worldwide. 3.1-2 Affected Environment Poplar Point Redevelopment Draft Environmental Impact Statement Figure 3.1.1 Site Context Map Source: AECOM, 2010 Affected Environment 3.1-3 Socio-Economic Resources Poplar Point Redevelopment 3.1.1.3 Surrounding Land Uses The larger community surrounding the Poplar Point Project Area includes a variety of neighborhoods located east and west of the Anacostia River (See Figure 3.1.2). The Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Avenue business corridor serves as the main commercial spine of historic Anacostia. The predominant land use along MLK Avenue is mixed-use with retail and commercial businesses occupying most of the buildings’ ground floors, with office and residential uses on the upper floors. Anacostia Heights is a geographically large neighborhood located directly south of MLK Avenue and bounded to the northeast by Good Hope Road, to the southwest by Howard Road, and to the southeast by Fort Stanton Park. The predominant land use in the neighborhood is residential, as it primarily consists of single- family detached and row housing. The Fairlawn neighborhood is located north of Anacostia Heights and east of the MLK Avenue business corridor. Existing uses include single-family detached residential houses and several multi-family residential buildings. The Barry Farm neighborhood is located adjacent to historic Anacostia and consists of multi-family units of public housing. A redevelopment plan for Barry Farm was completed in 2006 and proposes strategies to increase residential capacity and physically improve the neighborhood in conjunction with a financial strategy to accomplish the vision. The goal of the plan is to create a community that provides affordable housing options, civic and cultural engagement, economic opportunity, and increased safety. The plan attempts to reestablish a connection with the greater Anacostia community and integrate itself with concurrent redevelopment efforts. In addition to these existing residential and commercial areas, the St. Elizabeths campus is currently undergoing redevelopment. The District operates a hospital on the east campus and has prepared a plan for its redevelopment. The west campus was acquired by the General Services Administration (GSA) in 2004 and is currently being developed with federal office space to house the Department of Homeland Security. West of the River, the Capitol Riverfront Area is also undergoing redevelopment. The Washington National’s Ballpark was completed in 2008, but the mix of retail, restaurant, conference, and other uses planned for the perimeter of the Ballpark have not yet been fully implemented. In particular, the WMATA bus garage and the Florida Rock batch cement plant are currently slated for redevelopment as mixed-use projects. In addition, nearby Buzzard Point contains a power plant owned and operated by PEPCO that is expected to be retired by 2012 and available for redevelopment. The Southeast Federal Center (SEFC) is located across the Anacostia River from the Project Area, immediately west of the Washington Navy Yard. It is being redeveloped as “The Yards,” a mixed-use, higher-density neighborhood on the waterfront with residential, retail, and commercial space. The 42-acre development will ultimately include 3.2 million square feet of residential and office space and more than 5 acres of open space, including a new waterfront park that recently opened. The development is planned as a multi-phased project, anticipated to take between 10 and 20 years to fully complete. 3.1-4 Affected Environment Poplar Point Redevelopment Draft Environmental Impact Statement The Washington Navy Yard is located directly across the Anacostia River from the Project Area and is a secure, active military center. A waterfront promenade runs along the Navy Yard’s water frontage, ending at the property line between the Navy Yard and the Southeast Federal Center. There is currently no waterfront connection between the Navy Yard and bordering properties. East Potomac Park is a large expanse of open space in the southwest quadrant of Washington, DC. It is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers. The park contains public recreational facilities such as East Potomac Golf Course, a mini-golf course, a public pool, and the East Potomac Tennis Center. Affected Environment 3.1-5 Socio-Economic Resources Poplar Point Redevelopment Figure 3.1.2 Anacostia Neighborhoods Map Source: AECOM, 2010 Affected Environment 3.1-6 Poplar Point Redevelopment Draft Environmental Impact Statement 3.1.2 Planning Controls and Policies The federal land transfer and redevelopment of Poplar Point is subject to several plans and policies put forth by a variety of regulatory agencies. The controls that guide land use planning at both the federal and local levels establish the regulatory framework for the sites’ potential development. A review of these plans and policies is provided below. 3.1.2.1 Federal Plans and Policies Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital: Federal Elements The Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital is the principal planning document for the National Capital region. The Comprehensive Plan includes both Federal and District Elements (described below) and contains goals, objectives, and planning policies to guide growth and development in the District of Columbia and the greater metropolitan area. Federal Environment: The Federal Environment Element of the Comprehensive Plan states: “it is the goal of the federal government to conduct its activities and manage its property in a manner that promotes the National Capital Region as a leader in environmental stewardship and preserves, protects, and enhances the quality of the region’s natural resources, providing a setting that benefits the local community, provides a model for the country, and is worthy of a national Capital.” The policies relevant to local water quality include upgrading the sewage treatment system and separating it from the sanitary sewer

  • Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements
    Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements omen have profoundly impacted our Navy for more than a century, since being Wallowed to join in 1917. To honor those pioneers who have led the way, along with the more than 60,000 women who serve today, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday and Mrs. Linda Gilday, in coordination with Navy History and Heritage Command, created a display in CNO’s residence, Tingey House, as well as this e-book, which is organized into the following groupings: WWII era and prior; a selection of women ‘firsts’ in the Navy; and some photos of today’s Sailors. Where additional information is available, the photos are hyperlinked to articles, videos, and oral histories (click the photo to access the files). While we know this is a small representation of the women who serve today and the millions who have served, it is our hope it sparks conversation that honors women who wear the cloth of this nation. As a Navy, we celebrate the many accomplishments that women have achieved through hard work, grit and determination. Chief Yeoman (F) Loretta Perfectus Walsh After enlisting on March 17, 1917, Chief Walsh became not only the woman to serve in the Navy and its first female Chief Petty Officer, but also the first woman to serve in a non-nursing capacity in any branch of the armed forces. She served as a Yeoman (F) in the U.S. Naval Reserve during WWI. The first enlisted women in the Navy. Recruited to serve for the duration of WWI in order to free up male personnel for duty at sea, nearly 11,000 women were in uniform by Armistice Day (November 11, 1918).

  • District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites
    DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA INVENTORY OF HISTORIC SITES The D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites is the official list of historic properties maintained by the Government of the District of Columbia. These properties are deemed worthy of recognition and protection for their contribution to the cultural heritage of the city that is both national capital and home to more than a half million residents. The Inventory had its beginnings in 1964 and remains a work in progress. It is being continually expanded as additional survey and research supports new designations and more complete documentation of existing listings. At present, there are about 600 entries, covering more than 535 landmark buildings, 100 other structures, and 100 parks and places. There are also about two dozen designated building clusters and another two dozen neighborhood historic districts encompassing an estimated 23,500 buildings. Complete professional documentation of such a large number of properties to current preservation standards is an extensive undertaking that is still incomplete. For this reason, some listings in the Inventory provide a full description of the historic property, while others provide outline information only. Organization: The layout of the Inventory is designed to promote understanding of significant properties within their historic context. Designations are grouped by historical time period and theme, rather than being listed in alphabetical order. For organizational purposes, the historical development of the District of Columbia is divided into six broad historical eras, with separate sections on early Georgetown and Washington County, the port town and outlying countryside that were separate legal entities within the District for most of the 19th century.

  • The Residence on H Street N.W.: Mrs. General Hamilton “[T]He History of Many Other Interesting Things There Is Now Lost in the Mist of the Years.” John B
    1 In 1848 Alexander Hamilton’s widow, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, rented a house on H Street in Washington owned by Britannia Peter Kennon of Tudor Place. This house was inherited by Britannia through a series of events that included her marriage to Captain Beverley Kennon in 1842, his advancing naval career, and his sudden death in 1844 aboard the U.S.S. Princeton. At the home on H Street, Eliza Hamilton was in the social hub of the city, where she engaged with such notable neighbors as former first lady Dolley Madison and General Winfield Scott. In this article, Archivist Wendy Kail describes the details of the property acquisition, the tragic event that sent Britannia back to Tudor Place, and the activities that took place in and around the H Street house during Mrs. Hamilton’s tenancy. The Residence on H Street N.W.: Mrs. General Hamilton “[T]he history of many other interesting things there is now lost in the mist of the years.” John B. Larner, “Some Reminiscences of Mrs. John M. Binckley of Early Days in Washington.” Records of the Columbia Historical Society Volume 29-30 (Washington, D.C.: The Society, 1928), 352. Captain Beverley Kennon (1793-1844) was born in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, the son of Elizabeth Beverley Munford Kennon (1762-ca.1825/1830) and General Richard Kennon (1759- 1805) of Fine Wood, Mecklenburg, Virginia. Beverley Kennon’s father, Richard Kennon, had served with great distinction in the Revolutionary War, where he was a member of General George Washington’s staff; he was County Lieutenant of Mecklenburg County in 1789 and Speaker of the Virginia Senate in 1801.
