A draft report on the potential environmental impacts of new primate-center facilities planned over the next five years at the University of California, Davis, has been completed and is available for public review and comment. Copies of the draft report can be obtained at the reserve desk of UC Davis' Shields Library, the Davis branch of the Yolo County Library and the Fairfield-Suisun Library in Fairfield. Campus officials will be available to answer questions at a public meeting on Wednesday, May 3, from 4-7 p.m. in the lounge at the University Club on Old Davis Road. Written comments on the report may be submitted through May 10 to environmental planner Sid England in the UC Davis planning and budget office. The new facilities proposed for the California Regional Primate Research Center (CRPRC) on the western side of the campus include: * Seven new half-acre field corrals for up to 700 animals and a 3.3-acre stormwater retention pond for existing and new corrals; * Twenty-four new outdoor enclosures, or "corn cribs," for up to 480 animals; * A research office building (3,600 gross square feet) with 18 office spaces and a trailer (1,440 gross square feet) to house the Brain, Mind and Behavior research program; * A rodent facility for the Center for Comparative Medicine for up to 2,400 rodents; and * Stormwater drainage improvements for the entire primate facility, including an 18-acre stormwater detention pond. The California Regional Primate Research Center is one of eight regional primate centers supported by the National Institutes of Health. Its primary goal is to conduct a research program focused on selected areas relevant to human health. In support of that goal, the center maintains a large breeding program. The primate center provides monkeys, mostly rhesus macaques, to research programs at seven UC campuses as well as Stanford University, the Salk Institute and the Scripps Research Institute. The programs include studies of cancer, asthma, AIDS, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative diseases and infant development and nutrition. All of the improvements will be at the primate center, which is located west of County Road 98 and south of Russell Boulevard (County Road 32). The land use designations are consistent with the UC Davis 1994 Long Range Development Plan.
