Abstract:
CBP proposes to maintain and repair existing tactical infrastructure along the U.S./Mexico international border in Arizona. The existing tactical infrastructure includes fences and gates, roads and bridges/crossovers, drainage structures and grates, lighting and ancillary power systems, and communication and surveillance tower components (including, but not limited to, Remote Video Surveillance System [RVSS] or Secure Border Initiative [SBInet] towers [which are henceforth referred to as towers]). The existing tactical infrastructure occurs in the Yuma and Tucson USBP sectors in Arizona. The EA analyzes and documents potential environmental consequences associated with the Proposed Action. The analyses presented in the EA indicate that implementation of the Proposed Action would not result in significant environmental impacts and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been prepared. Throughout the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, the public may obtain information concerning the status and progress of the Proposed Action and the EA via the project Web site at http://cbp.gov/xp/cgov/border_security/ti/ti_docs/timr/; by emailing AZcomments@TIMR-NEPA.com; or by written request to Mr. Charles McGregor, Jr., Environmental Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, Engineering and Construction Support Office (ECSO), 819 Taylor Street, Room 3B10, Fort Worth, Texas 76102; or by Fax: 817-886-6404.
