Draft Deliberative Document-For Discussion Purposes Only-Do Not Release Under FOIA
munitions response areas, explosive safety quantity distance arcs, treaties, underground storage tanks,
sensitive resource areas, as well as policies, rules, regulations, and activities of other federal, state,
tribal and local agencies. This area also captures other constraining factors from animals and wildlife
that are not endangered but cause operational restrictions. This resource area specifically includes
information on known environmental restoration costs through FY03 and the projected cost-to-complete
the restoration.
b. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, CA reports that 1948 unconstrained acres are available for
development out of 23015 total acres. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, CA has spent $7.4M thru
FY03 for environmental restoration, and has estimated the remaining cost to complete at $27M. It has
Military Munitions Response Areas. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, CA has Explosive Safety
Quantity Distance Arcs, none of which require safety waivers, and none with the potential for
expansion. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, CA reports being constrained by laws, regulations,
policies, or activities of non-DoD federal, tribal, state, or local agencies.
5. Marine Mammal/Marine Resources/Marine Sanctuaries (DoD Question #248-250, 252-253):
a. This area captures the extent of any restrictions on near shore or open water testing, training or
operations as a result of laws protecting Marine Mammals, Essential Fish Habitat, and other related
marine resources.
b. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, CA is not impacted by laws and regulations pertaining to Marine
Mammal Protection Act, Essential Fish Habitats & Fisheries and Marine Sanctuaries, which may
adversely restrict navigation and operations.
6. Noise (DoD Question # 202-209, 239):
a. Military operations, particularly aircraft operations and weapons firing, may generate noise that can
impact property outside of the installation. Installations with significant noise will typically generate
maps that predict noise levels. These maps are then used to identify whether the noise levels are
compatible with land uses in these noise-impacted areas. Installations will often publish noise
abatement procedures to mitigate these noise impacts.
b. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, CA has noise contours that extend off the installation's property.
Of the 13133 acres that extend to off-base property, 541 acres have incompatible land uses. It has
published noise abatement procedures for the main installation.
7. Threatened and Endangered Species/Critical Habitat (DoD Question #259-264)
a. The presence of threatened and endangered species (TES) can result in restrictions on training,
testing and operations. They serve to reduce buildable acres and maneuver space. The data in this
section reflects listed TES as well as candidate species, designated critical habitat as well as
proposed habitat, and restrictions from Biological Opinions. The legally binding conditions in
Biological Opinions are designed to protect TES, and critical habitat. The data call seeks to identify
the presence of the resource, TES, candidate or critical habitat, even if they don't result in
restrictions, as well places where restrictions do exist.
b. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, CA reported that federally-listed TES are present that have
delayed or diverted operations/training/testing, candidate species are not present, critical habitat is
not present, and that Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, CA does not have a Biological Opinion.
8. Waste Management (DoD Question # 265-272):
a. This resource area identifies whether the installation has existing waste treatment and/or disposal
capabilities, whether there is additional capacity, and in some case whether the waste facility canaccept off-site waste. This area includes Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Treatment,
