to six missions per year, including up to
five live detonations per mission of
approximately 5–lb (2.3 kg) net
explosive weight charges to occur in
approximately 60–ft (18 m) deep water
from one to three nm offshore, may
result in the Level B Harassment of a
few Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and
Atlantic spotted dolphins; this would
have a negligible impact on these
affected marine mammals species and
stocks. Dwarf and pygmy sperm whales
and manatees are unlikely to be found
in the area and, therefore, are unlikely
to be affected. While behavioral
modifications may be made by Atlantic
bottlenose dolphins and Atlantic
spotted dolphins to avoid the resultant
acoustic stimuli, there is virtually no
possibility of injury or mortality when
the potential density of dolphins in the
area and extent of mitigation and
monitoring are taken into consideration.
The effects of the NEODS training are
expected to be limited to short-term and
localized TTS-related behavioral
changes. No subsistence users are
located within the geographic area of
this project.
No rookeries, mating grounds, areas of
concentrated feeding, or other areas of
special significance for marine
mammals occur within or near the
NEODS test sites.
Authorization
As a result of these determinations,
NMFS proposes to issue an IHA to the
Air Force for NEODS training operations
at EAFB, Florida, provided the
previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated.
