  • Description:
    The United States Department of the Navy prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA)/Overseas Environmental Assessment (OEA) in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Executive Order (EO) 12114, Department of Defense regulations found at 32 Code of Federal Regulations Part 187, and the Chief of Naval Operations Instruction 5090.1 and its accompanying manual (M-5090). This EA/OEA evaluates the potential impact to the environment from the Ice Exercise (ICEX) Program. The need for the Proposed Action is to prepare forces capable of extended operations and warfighting in the Arctic in accordance with Title 10 U.S.C. § 8062, and to support the aims of the Arctic Research and Policy Act (15 United States Code §§ 4101 et seq.). The purpose of the Navy’s Proposed Action is to conduct realistic training and testing in an Arctic environment, and if resources are available, to gather data on environmental conditions and technology suitability in an Arctic environment. This EA/OEA evaluates the following alternatives: the No Action Alternative; Alternative 1 would conduct an ICEX (submarine testing and training with the inclusion of research activities and construction of a support camp) biennially but no construction of a Beta camp during years in which an ICEX is not conducted; and Alternative 2 an ICEX (submarine testing and training with the inclusion of research activities and construction of a support camp) would be conducted biennially, and a Beta camp would be constructed either on an ice floe or in Deadhorse, Alaska during years in which an ICEX is not conducted. In this EA/OEA, the Navy analyzed potential impact to the environment that could result from the No Action Alternative and two Action Alternatives. The resources evaluated include marine habitats, marine invertebrates, marine birds, fish, Essential Fish Habitat, and mammals (marine and terrestrial).
