  • Chapter 8. Land and Submerged Lands Use
    Guam and CNMI Military Relocation Draft EIS/OEIS (November 2009) CHAPTER 8. LAND AND SUBMERGED LANDS USE 8.1 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 8.1.1 Definition of Resource This chapter describes and analyzes impacts of the proposed action on land and submerged lands ownership and management, and land and submerged lands use. Submerged lands refer to coastal waters extending from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) coastline into the ocean 3 nautical miles (nm) (5.6 kilometers [km]), the limit of state or territorial jurisdiction. Land use discussions for this Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS) include civilian and military existing and planned land uses, and land use planning guidance that directs future development. With respect to land ownership on Tinian, fee interest ownership is the primary means of private land ownership; leases or easements may also be used for land transfer or management purposes. On Tinian, the Department of Defense (DoD) leases approximately two-thirds of the total island area, exerting a notable influence upon Tinian land use. This chapter is organized to first look at existing conditions, then impacts are identified by alternatives and components. The chapter concludes with identification and discussion of potential mitigation measures that apply to significant impacts. The region of influence (ROI) for land use is land and submerged lands of Tinian. The proposed action is limited to Tinian; therefore, the emphasis is on Tinian with background information provided on CNMI. 8.1.2 Tinian Article XI and XII of the CNMI Constitution states that public lands collectively belong to the people of the Commonwealth who are of Northern Marianas decent.
