current mission. The new EHW is 

needed to maintain operational 

availability of the TRIDENT Program in 

the Pacific. The purpose of the proposed 

action is to meet current and future 

technical program requirements for the 

TRIDENT mission. 

Alternatives for the proposed action 

were identified based on capability for 

meeting TRIDENT Program mission 

requirements, ability to avoid or 

minimize environmental impacts, siting 

requirements including proximity to 

existing infrastructure, availability of 

waterfront property, constructability of 

essential project features, and 

explosives safety restrictions. 

Alternatives currently under 

consideration include: (1) Deep-Water 

Trestle EHW; (2) Onshore Trestle EHW; 

(3) No Action Alternative. For both 

action alternatives, the EHW would be 

located in deep water, parallel to and 

600 feet from the shore, and placement 

of structures over the intertidal zone 

would be minimized. The new EHW 

would include a covered operations area 

approximately 600 feet long and 250 

feet wide, supplemented by an 

uncovered wharf extension 

approximately 700 feet long and 35 feet 

wide. 

The wharf would either be an 

anchored floating structure or a 

structure supported by piles. Separate 

pile-supported entrance and exit 

trestles, or bridges, would provide a 

roadway for missile transport vehicles 

to travel from shore to the EHW and 

back to shore. For both action 

alternatives, the entrance trestle would 

be constructed from the end of the 

existing EHW access road to connect to 

the north end of the new EHW. The two 

action alternatives differ in the location 

of the exit trestle, which would connect 

the south end of the new EHW to the 

existing EHW access road. 

Under the Deep-Water Trestle 

alternative, parallel entry and exit 

trestles would be constructed to 

transport ordnance to and from the 

wharf. The exit trestle would be 

constructed over deep water to the 

extent possible, crossing the intertidal 

zone and returning to land at the 

existing EHW access road. The DeepWater Trestle alternative would require 

approximately 900 feet of additional inwater construction but would avoid 

construction of a road on the steep 

embankment adjacent to the proposed 

EHW site. 

For the Onshore Trestle alternative, 

the exit trestle would be constructed to 

take the shortest distance to shore from 

the south end of the new EHW. This 

alternative would require extension of 

the exit trestle approximately 1,400 feet 

along the edge of the steep embankment 

on the shore, away from the intertidal 

zone, to connect to the existing access 

road. 

No decision will be made to 

implement any alternative until the EIS 

process is complete, with the release of 

the Record of Decision. Phased 

construction of the project would be 

completed in four years. 

The impacts to be evaluated include, 

but will not be limited to, impacts on 

fish and marine mammals, essential fish 

habitat, effects on endangered and 

threatened species, impacts relating to 

underwater sound and underwater 

habitat, impacts to the migratory and 

transient movement of fish along the 

shore, impacts on cultural resources, 

reduction in water quality, impacts on 

wetlands, terrestrial impacts, effects on 

Tribal resources, and human health and 

public safety. 

The analysis will include an 

evaluation of direct, indirect, short term, 

and long term impacts from the 

construction and operation of the new 

EHW and will account for cumulative 

impacts from other Navy and non-Navy 

activities in the project area. 

The Navy is initiating the scoping 

process to identify community concerns 

and local issues to be addressed in the 

EIS. Federal agencies, State agencies, 

local agencies, and interested persons 

are encouraged to provide written 

comments in addition to, or in lieu of, 

oral comments at scheduled public 

scoping meetings. 

Written comments must be 

postmarked by midnight July 17, 2009
