Goodfellow Federal Center Environmental Reading Room

Environmental project

GSA continues extensive research to better monitor environmental conditions at the Goodfellow Federal Center.

No one is allowed to access restricted spaces due to contamination, unless GSA has an accepted Site Specific Safety Plan on file. Contact diane.czarnecki@gsa.gov or 816-216-3421 for help or to get more information.

Where we have identified environmental contamination, we must accept your SSSP before any tenant agency employees, contractors or visitors access or work in the areas.

Access to records

GSA reviewed documents contained in the reading room to protect controlled unclassified, sensitive but unclassified, and for official use only information. While we are unable to make unredacted CUI publicly available in the online reading room, we can arrange access to the CUI for individuals who have a need to know. You can email r6environmental@gsa.gov to request this access. Hard copy records are available by visiting GSA in Building 107 7 a.m.–3:30 p.m. weekdays.
