Final EA & FONSI

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (EA) that evaluated the potential environmental impacts resulting from the construction of a remote fixed facility (RFF) communications tower and associated equipment on Coast Guard-administered property on Cape Hatteras in Dare County, North Carolina. The Final EA has been prepared to describe the Proposed Action, the No Action Alternative, and two Alternative Actions; describe the natural, cultural, and socioeconomic resources located in the project area; evaluate the potential impacts of the alternatives on natural, cultural, and socioeconomic resources; and address agency and public comments received on the project. Based on the FEA, the USCG concluded that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment and has issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).

This notice announces the availability of the Final EA and FONSI. The Final EA and FONSI can be reviewed beginning December 1, 2009 at the Hatteras Public Library, Hatteras Community Center, 56658 NC 12 HWY, Hatteras, NC 27943 or on the USCG Rescue 21 website: http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/rescue21/links.asp.
