Background

JTF–6 was activated on November 13,

1989, at Fort Bliss, Texas, by the

Secretary of Defense in accordance with

the President’s National Drug Control

Strategy.

The mission of JTF–6 is to plan and

coordinate military training along the

U.S. Southwest Land Border in support

of counter-drug activities by Federal,

State, and Local LEAs, as requested

through Operation Alliance and

approved by the Secretary of Defense or

a designated representative.

The INS is responsible for the

prevention of smuggling and unlawful

entry of aliens into the United States.

This task of the Border Patrol often

results in the interdiction of drugs

between the U.S. land Ports-of-Entry.

The INS Border Patrol has been the

primary beneficiary of most JTF–6

engineering actions to date, which have

included reconnaissance operations,

and fence and road construction. For

this reason, the INS elected to act as

lead agency for the preparation of a

Programmatic Environmental Impact

Statement (PEIS). The PEIS analyzed

cumulative environmental impacts of

previous actions performed by JTF–6,

and generically examined the impacts of

future individual actions, which may be

developed within the reasonably

foreseeable future, based on experience

with similar past actions. The PEIS also

described the different types of actions

performed by JTF–6. The Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) and JTF–6

elected to act as cooperating agencies.

A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare

the PEIS was published in the Federal

Register on July 15, 1993, at 58 FR

38140. The Draft PEIS was filed with the

EPA and published in the Federal

Register on April 15, 1994, at 59 FR

18115; the Notice of Availability (NOA)

of the Draft PEIS was published in the

Federal Register on May 19, 1994, at 59

FR 26322. The Final PEIS was filed with

the EPA on August 11, 1994, and

published in the Federal Register on

August 19, 1994, at 59 FR 42831; the

NOA of the Final PEIS was published in

the Federal Register on October 5, 1994,

at 59 FR 50773. In accordance with

NEPA, this ROD is the concluding step

in the PEIS process.
