Permit Application: 2020–022
1. Applicant: Chris Eckstrom, Frans
Lanting Studio, 108 High Road at
Delaware Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA
95060.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Waste management. The
applicant proposes to operate small,
battery-operated remotely piloted
aircraft systems (RPAS) consisting, in
part, of a quadcopter equipped with
cameras to collect commercial and
educational footage of the Antarctic.
The quadcopter would not be flown
over concentrations of birds or
mammals, or over Antarctic Specially
Protected Areas or Historic Sites and
Monuments. The RPAS would only be
operated by pilots with extensive
experience, who are approved by the
Tour Operator. Several measures would
be taken to prevent against loss of the
quadcopter including painting the them
a highly visible color; only flying when
the wind is less than 25 knots; flying for
only until reaching 25% battery life
level; having prop guards on propeller
tips, a flotation device if operated over
water, and an ‘‘auto go home’’ feature in
case of loss of control link or low
battery; having an observer on the
lookout for wildlife, people, and other
hazards; and ensuring that the
separation between the operator and
quadcopter does not exceed visual line
of sight of the pilot or observer. The
applicant is seeking a Waste Permit to
cover any accidental releases that may
result from operating the RPAS.
Location: Antarctic Peninsula region.
Dates of Permitted Activities: January
1–February 28, 2020.
Permit Application: 2020–024
2. Applicant: David Lloyd, 40 Bertrand
Drive, Princeton, NJ 08540.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Waste management.
Location: Signy Island, South Orkney
Islands, Antarctica. The applicant
proposes to conduct waste management
activities an amateur (ham) radio
expedition to Signy Island. The
applicant would set up a temporary
amateur radio station for a period of
approximately two weeks to allow other
amateur radio operators around the
world the opportunity to make a radio
contact with Signy Island. To support
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
expedition goals, the applicant would
establish a camp near Waterpipe Beach
on Signy Island with two shelters. One
would be used for the radio
communication equipment, another as a
rest area and for storage. Several radio
antennas would be erected around the
camp. No permanent structures would
be constructed. Upon completion of the
radio operations the camp and antennas
would be completely dismantled and
the site would be thoroughly inspected
to ensure that no trace of the visit
remains. Logistical support, including
transport of personnel, equipment,
prepared food, and fuel from the vessel
to the island, transport of waste from the
island back to the vessel, and transport
of all personnel and equipment off the
island at the end of the expedition
would be provided by the crew of a
chartered vessel. Fuel (unleaded
gasoline) for portable generators used to
power the radio equipment would be
transported and stored in sealed plastic
containers. Minimal amounts of fuel
would be stored at the camp and best
practices, including secondary
containment, would be used to
minimize the risk of spill during storage
or fueling generators. If a liquid or semiliquid waste or spill occurs, the
applicant would collect the spilled
materials along with a margin of soil or
snow and dispose of the material in a
bag contained within a waste drum
which will be returned to the support
vessel. All waste generated would be
securely contained until it can be
removed from the island. All waste
would be disposed of in port after our
return from Antarctica. No waste would
be incinerated or left in Antarctica.
Dates of Permitted Activities:
February 15–March 31, 2020.
