The Mid-Continent Ecology Division (MED) facilities are located on a thirteen acre site and consist of a main building and several support buildings. Currently, 175 EPA employees occupy the MED. The EPA MED requires a new HSPD-12 compliant Physical Access Control Systems (PACS). The new PACS will replace in its entirety the existing legacy Northern Computers access control system. The MED also requires a new IDS to completely replace the existing IDS. This project will allow the EPA to meet their scheduled Office of Management and Budget milestone commitments. The EPA‟s PACS will be installed to accommodate their requirements in meeting HSPD-12‟s requirement to use the new Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card for physical access. This will include the use of EPA‟s currently issued PIV Credential (i.e. EPASS badge) to ingress and egress their facilities. The installed PACS and IDS will be owned and operated by the EPA in Each facility member and student will be issued an ID card that is encoded to open only what he/she been granted access to. This
