Draft Programmatic Environmental
Assessment
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
We have prepared a draft
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment (PEA). The draft PEA
identifies and examines the reasonable
alternatives and assesses their potential
environmental impact.
Our preferred alternative is to use the
IAS to protect personnel, ships, and
property from sabotage or other
subversive acts. The IAS consists of five
primary components: A land-based
sonar, a portable (vessel mounted)
sonar, a data processor, a vehicle
guidance system, and an underwater
loud hailer. Use of the IAS would be
limited to existing harbor infrastructure
and adjacent waters. The IAS is not
designed or intended for use offshore.
The system would be used for specific
and finite periods of time to protect
specific assets. During these times, the
sonar would be operated and monitored
continuously. The loud hailer would be
used only if an actual threat was
identified.
Recently, the Coast Guard completed
environmental assessments (EAs) that
address the impact of IAS deployment
and operation in Galveston Bay, TX and
San Pedro Bay, CA. The result of these
EAs was a finding of no significant
impact. The Coast Guard also engaged
in informal consultation with the
National Marine Fisheries Service
pursuant to the section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act, which resulted
in a determination that deployment and
operation of the IAS in Galveston Bay,
TX and San Pedro Bay, CA is not likely
to adversely affect threatened or
endangered species or critical habitat,
nor is it likely to result in the take of
marine mammals in those bays.
Similarly, there was no evidence to
suggest that IAS deployment and
operation would adversely affect
essential fish habitat or have an impact
on coastal uses and resources.
We are requesting your comments on
environmental concerns you may have
related to the PEA. This includes
suggesting analyses and methodologies
for use in the PEA or possible sources
of data or information not included in
the PEA. Your comments will be
considered in preparing the final PEA.
