CECR provides for design and execution of programmatic and non-programmatic discrete and minor revitalization construction of facilities projects, facility demolition projects, and environmental compliance and restoration activities.
In FY 2013, NASA will continue essential infrastructure repair and revitalization activities as well as repair by replacement of facilities. Repair by replacement projects are those that provide sustainable and energy efficient infrastructure by replacing old, inefficient, deteriorated buildings with new, efficient, high-performance buildings.
NASA will continue to reduce infrastructure by disposing of unneeded facilities, and to demolish unneeded Shuttle infrastructure such as the mate/demate device at DFRC and infrastructure at White Sands Space Harbor. NASA will also demolish several facilities that it no longer uses at Plum Brook Station, Sandusky, OH.
NASA will pursue its strategy to recapitalize essential infrastructure through projects that include the replacement of essential electrical and mechanical systems at NASAs Space Power Facility at Plum Brook Station (in Sandusky, OH), which is NASAs largest space environmental test facility. NASA will also replace the Arc Jet Facility steam vacuum boiler system at ARC. The budget also completes interim soil cleanups and publication of an environmental impact statement for final soils cleanup at Santa Susana Field Laboratory in Los Angeles, CA.
