Ms. Lostracco is project manager for an Environmental Assessment (EA) as part of a $6 million Army BRAC '05 NEPA support contract with the Mobile District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In this capacity, Ms. Lostracco manages the preparation and submittal of the EA and multidisciplinary sub-Consultants comprising Marstel-Day's NEPA team. She also serves in key task manager roles for the Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Fort Monroe EIS documents.

She served as project director in support of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) EIS for the National Bio-Agro Defense Facility (NBAF), providing a technical and legal sufficiency "Red Team" review on one of the most complex draft EISs that the DHS has embarked upon. The EIS analyzed six separate sites in six states that are alternative locations for a bio-security laboratory to study foreign animal and zoonotic diseases. The siting of this laboratory is a very high-profile, national project with an elevated level of congressional and multistate interest. She received an award in 2009 from the DHS "to recognize the excellent work that Ms. Lostracco accomplished" for the NBAF EIS. As part of Marstel-Day's encroachment planning services, Ms. Lostracco was the author of a Transportation Demand Management study for Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ) in Virginia. The study was performed in compliance with the Record of Decision (ROD) and the EIS incident to the development of the MCBQ Westside to accommodate growth as a result of the 2005 BRAC decision. The study integrates transportation, land use, and energy with the Base's mission in order to reduce area congestion, improve quality of life and air quality, enhance community relationships, and sustain the Base's ability to execute its mission. MCBQ is currently implementing components of the study.

Ms. Lostracco's work with NEPA has supported 13 states and 10 federal departments and agencies, including DHS, Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Defense, Federal Transit Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forestry Service, National Park Service, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for base closure, transportation, utilities, development, and mining projects. She has managed and led community outreach and numerous technical studies working with local, state, and federal agencies; tribal governments; and nongovernmental organizations to develop solutions to controversial and complex project issues.
