FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Mark Wright, MDA Public Affairs, at 

571–231–8212, or by email: mda.info@

mda.mil. For more information, 

including a downloadable copy of the 

Draft EIS, visit the MDA website: 

https://www.mda.mil/system/eiamd. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed 

Action and Alternative within the 

context of homeland defense, Guam is a 

key strategic location for sustaining and 

maintaining United States (U.S.) 

capabilities, deterring adversaries, 

responding to crises, and maintaining a 

free and open Indo-Pacific. An attack on 

Guam would be considered a direct 

attack on the U.S. and would be met 

with an appropriate response. Current 

U.S. forces are capable of defending 

Guam against regional ballistic missile 

threats. However, regional missile 

threats continue to increase and 

advance technologically. The U.S. IndoPacific Command identified a 

requirement for a 360-degree EIAMD 

capability on Guam as soon as possible 

to address the rapid evolution of 

adversary missile threats. 

In the Draft EIS, MDA, in 

coordination with cooperating agencies, 

evaluated the potential environmental 

impacts associated with the Proposed 

Action as well as a No Action 

Alternative. The Proposed Action 

includes the construction, deployment, 

and operations and maintenance of a 

comprehensive, persistent, 360-degree 

EIAMD system to defend the people, 

infrastructure, and territory of Guam 

against the rapidly evolving threats of 

advanced cruise, ballistic, and 

hypersonic missile attacks from regional 

adversaries. The proposed system 

includes a combination of components 

from the MDA, USA, and USNAV, 

including missile defense radars, 

sensors, missile launchers and missile 

interceptors, and command and control 

systems. The MDA and USA need to 

strategically locate and integrate the 

various system components at multiple 

sites around Guam. To meet the purpose 

and need of the Proposed Action, MDA 

and USA have identified 16 proposed 

sites on Guam—eight are on Naval Base 

Guam (NBG), including the NBG 

Munitions Site, six are on Andersen Air 

Force Base, and two are on Marine 

Corps Base Camp Blaz. The proposed 

EIAMD system components, associated 

support facilities (e.g., maintenance 

buildings, entry control, administrative 

buildings), and infrastructure (e.g., 

utility infrastructure, fuel storage 

facilities, water storage facilities) would 

be distributed across the proposed sites. 

Additionally, airspace restrictions 

would be necessary at sites where radars 

would be located to ensure that aircraft 

would not encounter high-intensity 

radiation fields (HIRF) resulting from 

the radar operations that exceed FAA’s 

HIRF certification standards for aircraft 

electrical and electronic systems. 

The environmental analysis in the 

Draft EIS addresses the following 

environmental resource areas: airspace 

management, health and safety, cultural, 

terrestrial biological, socioeconomics, 

environmental justice and protection of 

children, land use and recreation, 

transportation, visual quality, utilities, 

air quality, climate change, noise, water, 

and geology and soils. Mitigation 

measures that, if employed, could avoid, 

minimize, or mitigate potential 

environmental impacts resulting from 

the Proposed Action are also analyzed 

in the Draft EIS. The Draft EIS only 

analyzes peacetime operations. 

The MDA and the USA, as the action 

proponents, are coordinating and 

consulting with appropriate Federal 

agencies as required by the Endangered 

Species Act, Coastal Zone Management 

Act, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, 

and other laws and regulations 

determined to be applicable to the 

project. This public comment period 

also supports compliance with Section 

106 of the NHPA and its implementing 

regulations. The USNAV has 

determined that the proposed 

undertaking shall follow The 

Programmatic Agreement Among the 

Commander, Navy Region Marianas, the 

Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation, and the Guam Historic 

Preservation Officer, Regarding Navy 

Undertakings on the Island of Guam 

(2008) to fulfill Section 106 

responsibilities and to avoid, minimize, 

and/or mitigate effects on historic 

properties. Members of the public are 

welcome to provide input. 

The MDA intends to publish the Final 

EIS in summer 2025 and sign a Record 

of Decision following the 30-day Final 

EIS waiting period. 

Public Participation Invited: The 

MDA invites all interested members of 

the public, as well as Federal and 

territorial agencies, to comment on the 

Draft EIS and the project’s potential to 

affect historic properties pursuant to 

Section 106 of the NHPA. The Draft EIS 

is available for public review on the 

MDA website at www.mda.mil/system/ 

eiamd and at the following public 

libraries: (1) University of Guam Robert 

F. Kennedy Memorial Library, UOG 

Station, Mangilao, Guam 96913; (2) 

Nieves M. Flores Memorial Library, 254 

Martyr St., Agana, Guam 96910. 

In support of NEPA and NHPA 

Section 106 requirements, the MDA and 

cooperating agencies will host three inperson open house public meetings in 

Guam. Similar to the scoping meetings 

held in August 2023, the open-house 

format will include poster stations 

staffed by MDA and representatives of 

the cooperating agencies who can 

provide information and answer 

questions about the Proposed Action 

and the findings in the Draft EIS. 

The public meetings will be held as 

follows: (1) November 13, 2024, from 

4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Chamorro Standard 

Time (ChST) at Ha ̊gat Mayor’s Office 

Community Center Building 393, Route 

2, Ha ̊gat, Guam; (2) November 14, 2024, 

from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. ChST at Hilton 

Guam Resort Micronesian Room, 202 

Hilton Road, Tumon Bay, Guam; (3) 

November 15, 2024, from 5:00 to 8:00 

p.m. ChST at Dededo Senior Center, 319 

Iglesia Circle, Dededo, Guam. Attendees 

will be able to submit oral and written 

comments during the public meetings. 

Official oral comments will be recorded 

by a court reporter in a one-on-one 

setting.
