PROJECT OBJECTIVES In accordance with FEMA PW-4340-1072-USVI / GM# 101440 (PA), ODR Task Order #2020-03, the Virgin Islands Department of Health (VI DOH) is proposing to demolish the Old Mental Health Building, a two-story building that suffered severe damage during the 2017 hurricane and remains unoccupied. The Old Mental Health Building is part of the larger Knud Hansen Complex controlled by the Department of Human Services (DHS) and Department of Health. The work also includes demolition and stabilization of the approximately 50,000 sf parking area contiguous with the 13,000 sf Old Mental Health Building. The area to be cleared and graded will require excavation of the previously disturbed area to remove construction debris and demolished building foundation. New surface parking with stalls is also proposed. (See Civil Site Plan) The Knud Hansen Complex and the John S. Moorehead Complex – Old Hospital Yard are located on Parcel 2 Estate Hospital Ground, Kings Quarter, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, USVI 00802. VISHPO concurred with 1) the proposed undertaking to demolish the Old Mental Health Building and 2) FEMA’s determination that the project will result in “no historic properties affected with conditions” on September 14, 2020. FEMA concluded their determination on September 1, 2020. The list of project conditions, the FEMA Section 106 Consultation, and VISHPO Concurrence, can be found in Attachment A. Knud Hansen Complex funding also includes the following projects which are not part of this Federal Consistency determination: Knud Hansen Building and Equipment - VIDHS – FEMA-PA Knud Hansen Tower Replacement – VIDOH – FEMA-PA With the above funded projects, the ultimate goal for the community is to create a unified campus incorporating all health and human services divisions, including the newly built WIC FEDERAL CONSISTENCY PRE-APPLICATION SUBMITTAL PACKAGE ODR TASK #2020-03 US VIRGIN ISLANDS KNUD HANSEN COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH BUILDING DEMOLITION AND PARKING AREA PHASE I OMH P a g e | 10 facility and those located at the John S. Moorehead complex, through future construction of a single building to replace the three existing structures – Knud Hansen Complex Building, Tower, and Old Mental Health Building. See Attachment C. Master Plan. Pedestrian access, green spaces, vehicular movement, and parking will also be designed in a broader, shared style. Demolition of the Old Mental Health building is the first step toward combining the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Human Services (DHS) within a single building on one site. DOH will focus on public health and healthcare services, while DHS addresses social services and welfare programs. By co-locating in one facility, on a previously developed parcel, DOH and DHS can streamline services for shared clientele, eliminating the need for clients to visit separate locations to address their needs. Additionally, consolidating infrastructure resources like cisterns, fire sprinkler pumps, emergency generators, battery backups, and power conditioning equipment can lead to cost savings and streamlined maintenance. Centralizing utility services into one utility court reduces redundancy and enhances operational effectiveness. The 3-story DHS building materials will only be altered during Future Phases and will not be disturbed during Phase I OMH demolition. (see Attachment C. Demolition Site Plan). All demolition activities will adhere to local permitting requirements and regulations. Hazmat testing, which is mandatory prior to demolition, has already been started for the Tower and Old Mental Health Building. Underground utilities investigation and documentation, Environmental Assessment, and Letter from the Department of Agriculture for tree removal are to be completed but are not yet started. A Temporary Utilities Plan, Stormwater Protection Plan, Hazardous Materials Abatement Plan, and Historic Structures stabilization plan will be prepared prior to permit and construction.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Summary of Proposed Activity The project will include demolition of the 13,000 sf, 3-story Old Mental Health Building and contiguous 50,000 sf parking area located within the Knud Hansen Complex. The 3-story Old Mental Health Building contains a lower level comprised predominantly of cisterns, but also houses electrical and other support equipment. New surface parking, parking stalls, curb and sidewalk are proposed. Phase I OMH Demolition consists solely of demolition, grading, parking lot construction, and new permanent sanitary line. Stormwater piping and grates are proposed. Other new site improvements such as retaining wall, lighting, and electric vehicle charging station (two chargers) will be permitted and constructed as part of Future Phases. The Old Mental Health Building is a non-descript steel-frame building with parged concrete- block infill and a flat roof constructed approximately 1973. The building sits within the Knud Hansen Complex, examples of post-WWII hospital buildings. These buildings are not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The project work will include: • Clearing, vegetation grubbing, and grading of approximately 50,000 sf which includes the building footprint, sidewalk, and surrounding asphalt parking area • Placement of filter fabric per the Civil Specifications • Placement, grading, and compacting of approximately 50,000 sf of aggregate base course throughout the parking area per Civil Specifications • Installation of asphalt over the approximate 50,000 sf parking area per Civil Specifications FEDERAL CONSISTENCY PRE-APPLICATION SUBMITTAL PACKAGE ODR TASK #2020-03 US VIRGIN ISLANDS KNUD HANSEN COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH BUILDING DEMOLITION AND PARKING AREA PHASE I OMH P a g e | 12 • Striping of the parking area in a manner that maximizes available parking spaces and inclusion of handicap parking per Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 • Installation of required parking signage a. Site Work/Provisions to Limit Soil Disturbance The demolition strategy and expectations shall be outlined and included in the demolition permit submittal and coordinated between the owner, general contractor, and AHJ. To control dust, a watering truck or hose from an available water source will drive over exposed areas and wet down soil as needed. The truck will have a 3,000 to 5,000 gallon capacity and the exposed soil will be either hand or machine watered. Vehicle wash down will occur within the area of the site being protected by the perimeter silt fence. There are also other dust control methods for demo and construction the General Contractor could consider and employ if deemed suitable and effective. The GC will submit proposed methods to DPNR to obtain permit. Approved methods will be enforced by DPNR, and the DOH on-site owner’s representative will also ensure agreed upon measures are implemented. Hauling and proper disposal of construction demolition debris and all trash and abandoned vehicles on site will be performed in accordance with the contractor’s specifications. To minimize sediment track-out, gravel entrances will be installed at the intersection of the proposed road. Track-out control mats and tire wash down are two methods the contractor could employ. The General Contractor will be responsible for maintenance and inspection of the gravel driveway and location and maintenance of equipment staging yards.

Anything of historic significance will be preserved. Site will be secured prior to any demolition activities with an 8-foot tall chain link fence with integrated wind and visual barrier. b. Method of Construction The project includes demolition of the existing Old Mental Health building and contiguous parking area, and construction of a new asphalt surface parking area. The contractor will fill void left from building demolition with appropriate fill and compaction with cut and fill. (See Civil Plans – Erosion Control & Demolition Plan). c. Self-sufficient Systems – Water The site functions on existing water systems – public and cistern water supply. The existing cistern in the Old Mental Health Building will be demolished. The existing site potable water and sanitary sewer lines will remain until new piping/piping connections are installed as part of future FEMA funded projects. d. Renewables and Sustainability On-site renewables FEDERAL CONSISTENCY PRE-APPLICATION SUBMITTAL PACKAGE ODR TASK #2020-03 US VIRGIN ISLANDS KNUD HANSEN COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH BUILDING DEMOLITION AND PARKING AREA PHASE I OMH P a g e | 14 The site is currently, and will remain, connected to the electric grid. During demolition, the contractor will maintain temporary power to the site and coordinate with the Owner and Utility. One electric vehicle charging station (two chargers) w/dedicated parking stall is proposed as Future Phases (see Civil Plans – Site Plan). e. Provisions to Limit Community Impacts The existing land use adjacent to the Knud Hansen Complex is public recreation, multi- family senior housing, multi-family housing, and public buildings/services. The site is surrounded by developed land. The nearest residential building (Bethlehem House for the Homeless) from the Old Mental Health Building is located approximately 90 feet to the east, separated by parking and a driveway. The distance of this residential housing to the project site’s lot line is approximately 5 feet. Repair and maintenance work will take place during the day between normal working hours of 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. All standard provisions for construction vehicle traffic and tracking will be in place prior to start of construction. Project earth work is minimal (just over 1 acre).

Building (GPS: 18.34478 -64.92570) built ca. 1900 (Photo 27) • Building 11 (K) - Moorehead Hospital Maintenance Building (GPS: 18.34503 -64.92562) built ca. 1900 (Photo 28) • Building 12 (L) - Moorehead Hospital Women’s Resource Center Building (GPS: 18.34525 -64.92557) built early 1950s. (Photos 26 and 29) Activities associated with the building demolition will require clearing and grubbing of vegetation (small trees and shrubs) and removal of demolition debris from the approximately 15,000 SF building footprint. This also involves removal of the concrete foundation (1-foot depth), footings (2 feet depth), sidewalk, and surrounding asphalt parking lot. Parking lot construction activities would include excavation to approximately 1 foot below grade level (BGL) of building foundation and asphalt parking lot. The concrete footings would require excavation to approximately two feet BGL. Upon completion of the demolition, site grading and placement of 5,633 square yards of Geotech fabric will be placed in the excavated area and overlain with new aggregate. The new 3 aggregate base will require placing, grading and compaction of approximately 50,000 SF x 3 inches depth (500 cubic yards) of new aggregate base. The proposed asphalt will be applied over the 50,000 SF to a depth of 4 inches and the parking lot will be completed with striped parking areas and signage (Figure 5). The items in the scope of work identified below are either in-kind replacement or repairs that meet existing Tier II Allowances described in Appendix B of the Programmatic Agreement executed July 14, 2016 and include: • Replacement/repair of damaged floors, ceiling tiles/grid, walls, light fixtures: B.1.a. • Cleaning of surfaces for mold remediation: B.1.b. • Replacement of damaged vinyl composition floor tile (VCT) and ACM mastic: B.1.d. • Refinish and painting of interior walls: B.1.e. • Use of portable de-humidification systems: B.1.f. • Replacement/retrofit of ventilation and electrical systems: B.3.a • Replacement of fire alarms: B.3.c. • Replacement of blanket insulation: B.7.b. The following scope of work items are not covered by existing Programmatic Allowances and is the subject of this consultation: • Demolition of a structure over 45 years of age and construction of a parking lot in its place • Replacement of wood tongue and groove wooden ceilings with wood-grained paneling in all the ca.1900 Moorehead Hospital buildings (Photo 30 shows ceiling example) Area of Potential Effects (APE) Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4(a)(1), the Area of Potential Effects (APE) is defined as the geographic area(s) within which the undertaking may directly or indirectly affect historic resources. Based on the proposed scope of work, FEMA has determined that the APE for this undertaking includes the areas around the (former) Mental Health Building, the Knud-Hansen Memorial Hospital, and the Dr. John S. Moorehead Municipal Hospital Complex (Figure 1). There will be ground disturbance associated with the Mental Health Building demolition and subsequent parking lot construction in its place. Identification and Evaluation Architecture The Dr. John S. Moorehead Municipal Hospital Complex was built by the Danish government c. 1900. It consists of eleven one-story buildings resting on concrete slab foundations (with the exception of Building 10 (J) which has a basement) and topped with corrugated metal hipped roofs. Buildings are generally faced with local bluestone and feature brick window and door trim and quoins. The exception to this is Building 4 (D-1) which has what appears to be concrete or stone lintels and quoins. Windows that are visible are a mix of replacements including single-light sliding windows and one-over-one double-hung windows, most featuring wood shutters. Visible doors are a mix of modern replacement and paneled wood doors with a single light with most featuring wood shutters. A central courtyard with mature mahogany trees serves as a focal point (Photos 13, 14). All buildings facing the courtyard have added shed-roof concrete porches extending the length of the building supported by wood posts with wood balustrades. It is unknown 4 when the porches were added, but they do not appear in a historic photograph of the courtyard (Photo 31). Despite some additions and alterations over time, the 1900s complex is still an excellent example of Danish Colonial architecture. It is currently occupied by the Department of Health for use as storage. The Knud-Hansen Tower is four-story steel-frame building with parged concrete-block infill, paired and triple fixed single-light aluminum-frame windows, aluminum-framed glass doors, and a flat roof. A metal staircase and balustrade accessed through metal fire doors on each story serves as a fire escape on the west elevation. The tower was built as part of the (former) Knud-Hansen Memorial Hospital; information provided by the applicant’s representative states the tower was built in the 1950s, but it’s possible it was part of a hospital expansion that took place in the late 1960s or early 1970s.1 (Photos 8-10) The (former) Mental Health Building is a non-descript two-story steel-frame building with parged concrete-block infill and a flat roof. It features a wrap-around caged-in catwalk on the south, east, and north elevations, fixed single-light aluminum-frame windows, and metal doors. (Photos 1-7) The first hospital was constructed under Danish rule on the island of St. Thomas in 1743. At the time, there was a considerable amount of disease and death due to the tropical climate and influx of diseases from America, Africa and Europe. The Danes went on to create a public health care system based on the Danish hierarchical pyramid model made up of public, military and private- practicing doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and midwives with the royal district doctor at the top. This system was in place between 1755-1800 and its primary purpose was to take care of the Euro- Caribbean population’s needs. This is with the exception of the health of the far-larger population of enslaved laborers, which was taken care of by plantation doctors in private practice and by the a health care system on the plantations; this part of the health care system was also subject to the oversight of the royal district doctor. After the emancipation in 1848, the health care service for the population of now free Afro-Caribbean workers did not get better, but worse since nobody wanted to pay for the system. This resulted in a decline in the number of doctors, and medical discoveries that were made in the second half of the 1800s ultimately did not reach the USVI.2 Finding historical record of public healthcare after 1900s has been challenging and is therefore spotty. A hospital complex built by the Danish government on the subject property, ca. 1900, came to be known as the Municipal Hospital. Buildings were constructed of native bluestone and had a rectangular courtyard filled with mahogany trees serving as the focal point. In addition to operating as a hospital, the facility also functioned as a nursing school where the doctors taught the nurses; the first graduating class of nurses was in 1919.3 When the U.S. acquired the territory in 1917, U.S. Navy nurses established a more formal 3-year training course at the hospital.4 1 The Congressional Record Extensions of Remarks, p. 30552, September 19, 1973. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-CRECB-1973-pt23/pdf/GPO-CRECB-1973-pt23-6-3.pdf, accessed August 21, 2020 2 https://www.virgin-islands-history.org/en/history/colonial-power/health-and-the-health-care-system/ accessed August 26, 2020 3 https://web.archive.org/web/20171014181401/http://www.visnaus.org/MainMenu/About-VISNA/Bylaws/VISNA- Bylaws.pdf accessed August 27, 2020 4 The Congressional Record Extensions of Remarks, p. 30552, September 19, 1973. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-CRECB-1973-pt23/pdf/GPO-CRECB-1973-pt23-6-3.pdf accessed August 21, 2020 5 After the United States acquired the USVI in 1917, the U.S. Navy served as territory administrator until 1931 when the Department of the Interior assumed oversight. Dr. Knud Knud-Hansen was a prominent Danish doctor during this time and, despite being dismissed along with many Danish doctors after the transfer, continued working until shortly before his death in 1951. One of his successors, Dr. John S. Moorehead began planning for a new 126-bed hospital adjacent to the 1900s hospital complex due to the bad repair of the buildings. The Knud-Hansen Memorial Hospital was dedicated in 1953 and the 1900s hospital buildings were transitioned for use primarily as out-patient clinics.5 According to an account by a former nurse at the hospital, the new hospital expanded sometime prior to 1973, although is it unknown exactly how, where, and when. It’s possible the Mental Health Building was constructed during this time to reflect developments being made in the mental health care field.6 This is supported by an article in the Interamerican Journal of Psychology which mentions architectural drawings being made in fiscal year 1965-66 for new mental health centers in the Virgin Islands.7 Since the construction of the Knud-Hansen Memorial Hospital, the 1900s hospital complex was used primarily for storage and offices, and was eventually given the name the Dr. John S. Moorehead Municipal Hospital Complex. Once the Roy L. Schneider (current) hospital opened in 1982, the memorial hospital became the Knud-Hanson Center and serves as DOH headquarters.8 The John S. Moorehead Municipal Hospital Complex is an excellent example of a grouping of Danish Colonial architecture and use of native materials and setting. It is one of few remaining government hospitals in St. Thomas and is significant for its architecture as well as its contribution to healthcare and nursing education. Although the setting has been slightly compromised with the construction of the Knud-Hansen Memorial Hospital in 1953, the presence of the more modern hospital building conveys the continued history and progression of healthcare in the USVI. The Moorehead Hospital Complex continues to retain its integrity of location, materials, design, workmanship, feeling and association; therefore, FEMA has determined the Moorhead Hospital Complex is potentially eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion A and C. The Knud-Hansen Memorial Hospital (now Knud-Hansen Center) and (former) Mental Health Building are both non-descript examples of post-WWII hospital building. With subsequent additions and changes in materials, neither building possesses character defining features unique to a clear building style, period, or method of construction. The buildings are not the work of a master, do not display high artistic values and do not appear to be individually associated with an 5 Danish West Indian Society Newsletter, October 1976.

Therefore, FEMA has determined that the Knud-Hansen Memorial Hospital and (former) Mental Health Building are not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeology A review of archaeological site maps and archaeological site data provided by the VISHPO did not identify any known archaeological sites within a 0.25-mile radius of the ground disturbance/demolition APE. A portion of the National Register of Historic Places-listed Charlotte Amalie Historic District boundary is located approximately 0.20 miles south of the APE (Figure 4). The USDA soil layer data characterizes the area as Urban land -Cinnamon Bay Complex (UcC), 0 to 12 percent slopes. The map unit comprises 80 percent of urban land which is disturbed soils from prior development activities. Based upon the extensive ground disturbance associated with the proposed demolition and parking lot construction at this site, it has been determined that there is low to no potential for the APE (yellow) to contain intact archaeological resources. Determination of Effect Based on VISHPO maps and historic property research and identification the undertaking to demolish the (former) Mental Health Building and build out office space in the Knud-Hansen Tower will result in No Historic Properties Affected with conditions. The undertaking to build out office space at the Dr. John S. Moorehead Municipal Hospital Complex will result in No Adverse Effect to Historic Properties with conditions. To ensure that FEMA-funded activities will not adversely affect cultural or archaeological resources, FEMA is placing the following conditions on the project for the treatment of historic properties and fortuitous finds or unexpected discoveries during ground disturbing activities within the project area: Architectural Conditions: • The wood-grained paneling proposed to replace wood tongue and groove ceiling in the ca.1900 Moorehead Hospital buildings must match appearance, scale, and profile(s) of the original. • All other historic building and structure repairs and replacements undertaken at the Dr. John S. Moorehead Municipal Hospital Complex should follow applicable Secretary of the Interior Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings and USVI Preservation Guidelines. Archaeological Conditions: • Prior to conducting repairs/replacement, applicant must identify the source and location of fill material and provide this information to FEMA. If the borrow pit is privately owned, or is located on previously undisturbed land, or if the fill is obtained by the horizontal expansion of a pre-existing borrow pit, FEMA consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer will be required. Failure to comply with this condition may jeopardize FEMA funding; verification of compliance will be required at project closeout. 7 • If human remains or intact archaeological deposits are uncovered, work in the vicinity of the discovery will stop immediately and all reasonable measures to avoid or minimize harm to the finds will be taken. The applicant will ensure that archaeological discoveries are secured in place, that access to the sensitive area is restricted, and that all reasonable measures are taken to avoid further disturbance of the discoveries. The applicant’s contractor will provide immediate notice of such discoveries to the applicant. The applicant shall contact the Virgin Islands State Historic Preservation Office and FEMA within 24 hours of the discovery. Work in the vicinity of the discovery may not resume until FEMA has completed consultation with SHPO, Indigenous Population, and other consulting parties as necessary. In the event that unmarked human remains are encountered during permitted activities; all work shall stop immediately, and the proper authorities notified. • Any changes to the approved scope of work will require submission to, and evaluation and approval by, the SHPO and FEMA prior to initiation of any work, for compliance with Section 106. • According to 36 CFR § 800.1, Federal agencies should consider alternatives to avoid, minimize or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties. FEMA proposes minimization measures to include use of specialized construction techniques to limit impacts to archaeological resources. These minimization techniques are as follows: 1. Track mounted heavy equipment must be placed on hard surfaces (asphalt, concrete, compacted gravel); if track mounted heavy equipment is located on soils or grass covered areas, the use of protective pads or steel plates is required to minimize below ground disturbance within the APE. 2. No work shall commence in wet soils. FEMA requests concurrence with this determination of effect within fifteen (15) calendar days.
