Description:

"NMFS has received an application from the United States Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District (USACE), on behalf of the Port of San Francisco (Port), for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) to take marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to pile driving during construction of the Brannan Street Wharf in San Francisco Bay, California. The Port's construction activities, which have the potential to behaviorally disturb marine mammals, warrant an incidental take authorization from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under section 101(a)(5)(D) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1631 et seq.). The proposed action considered in this Environmental Assessment (EA) is NMFS' issuance of a 1-year IHA under section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA, for the taking, by Level B harassment only, of small numbers of marine mammals incidental to pile driving during construction of the Brannan Street Wharf. This EA, titled 'Issuance of an Incidental Harassment Authorization to the Port of San Francisco to Take Marine Mammals by Harassment Incidental to Pile Driving During Construction of the Brannan Street Wharf' (hereinafter, EA), addresses the impacts on the human environment that would result from issuance of this IHA for MMPA Level B takes of marine mammals during pile driving, taking into account the mitigation measures required in the IHA"--Page 5.
