Spaceport Camden Draft EIS Comments Spaceport Camden Draft EIS Comments 1. FAA Failed to Provide Required Oversight and Responsibility REASON: ☒ Non-compliance ☐ Contradictions ☐ Error/Omission ☐ Did not Study ☐ Taking ☐ Other RULE/CODE/AUTHORITY/ DEIS CONTENT 40CFR1506.5(c), AGENCY RESPONSIBILITY, requires that “If the document is prepared by contract, the responsible Federal official shall furnish guidance and participate in the preparation and shall independently evaluate the statement prior to its approval and take responsibility for its scope and contents.” The FAA failed to meet its required oversight of the preparation of the Draft. COMMENT(S) & COMMENT QUESTIONS The extensive errors, omissions, and contradictions demonstrate that the FAA has failed to provide its required oversight in the preparation of the DEIS. The launch azimuth required to reach “90 degrees inclination” (page 1-1) is not possible from Spaceport Camden. The Noise Study presents data for a Medium class rocket, not the Medium-Large rocket that was added to the EIS after the Scoping Period and without any notice to the public. The DEIS fails to study the Present and Reasonably Foreseeable Impacts to the 100 lot, 40+ home community that lies unavoidably in the Launch Hazard Area just 4 miles down range. The FAA states that “Camden County has stated that they intend for their results to demonstrate that an OEZ will not extend onto Little Cumberland Island.” The FAA has allowed the DEIS to contain studies from the DEIS contractor without verification that the proposed launch parameters are possible. Spaceport Camden would be the first time such a narrow hazard area and abbreviated OEZ are approved so extra validation should be the FAA watchword. Spaceport Camden would be the first time that rocket launches are licensed over resident, non-involved third persons and National Park visitors within 4 to 10 miles of the launch pad so extra validation should be the FAA watchword. There is no evidence that the FAA Spaceport Camden would be the first time that rocket launches are licensed over children. However, the FAA does not have an established a significance threshold for Children’s Environmental Health and Safety Risks. Does the FAA have sufficient managerial resources, technical oversight capabilities and, manpower resources to meet the requirement of 40CFR1506.5(c)? Will the FAA establish significance thresholds for Children’s Environmental Health and Safety? Will all elements of the DEIS be reworked and rereleased for public study and comment after the correct rocket class is studied? 2. Non-compliance with Space Directive 2, Section 1 REASON: ☒ Non-compliance ☐ Contradictions ☐ Error/Omission ☒ Did not Study ☒ Taking ☐ Other RULE/CODE/AUTHORITY/ DEIS CONTENT Space Directive 2, Section 1: “It is therefore important that regulations adopted and enforced by the executive branch promote economic growth; minimize uncertainty for taxpayers, investors, and private industry; protect national security, public-safety, and foreign policy interests; and encourage American leadership in space commerce.” Steve Weinkle Spaceport Camden Draft EIS Comments Page 1 of 20 COMMENT(S) & COMMENT QUESTIONS The FAA has never previously licensed launches where non-involved third parties are resident within 100NM downrange of the launch pad. FAA Order 1050(F) is deficient in that it does not prescribe a requirement to study human health impacts other than from noise, air and water quality, explosive force, and toxic substances. There are no FAA Order 1050.1F requirements to study human injuries that occur even if the Ec threshold is not crossed. These are covered as insurable losses, but the risk is not addressed in the DEIS. There is no study conducted of cumulative human health impacts equivalent to cumulative impacts to turtles, eagles, shrimp, and snakes. Why does the FAA fail to study significant human health impacts? 3. Non-compliance with Space Directive 2, Section 2(d) REASON: ☒ Non-compliance ☐ Contradictions ☐ Error/Omission ☒ Did not Study ☐ Taking ☐ Other RULE/CODE/AUTHORITY/ DEIS CONTENT Space Directive 2, Section 2(d) states: “The Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Transportation, and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall coordinate to examine all existing U.S. Government requirements, standards, and policies associated with commercial space flight launch and reentry operations from Federal launch ranges and, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to minimize those requirements, except those necessary to protect public safety and national security, that would conflict with the efforts of the Secretary of Transportation in implementing the Secretary’s responsibilities under this section.” COMMENT(S) & COMMENT QUESTIONS The FAA has never previously licensed launches where non-involved third parties are resident within 100NM downrange of the launch pad. FAA Order 1050(F) is deficient in that it does not prescribe a requirement to study humans health impacts other than from noise, air and water quality, explosive force, and toxic substances. There are no FAA Order 1050.1F requirements to study human injuries that occur even if the Ec threshold is not crossed. These are covered as insurable losses but the risk is not addressed in the DEIS. There is no study of cumulative human health impacts equivalent to cumulative impacts to turtles, eagles, shrimp, and snakes. Why does the FAA fail to address all human health impacts? 4. Non-compliance with Space Directive 2(b) REASON: ☒ Non-compliance ☐ Contradictions ☐ Error/Omission ☒ Did not Study ☐ Taking ☐ Other RULE/CODE/AUTHORITY/ DEIS CONTENT Space Directive 2, Section 2(b) states, ”Consistent with the policy set forth in section 1 of this memorandum, the Secretary of Transportation shall consider the following: “(ii) replacing prescriptive requirements in the commercial space flight launch and re-entry licensing process with performance-based criteria.” COMMENT(S) & COMMENT QUESTIONS The subject rocket for the Spaceport Camden DEIS is described as a Medium-Large rocket with the capability of performing barge landings in the Atlantic or landings on a land-based pad and also requires 250,000 gallons of deluge water. The only existing rocket, or rocket in development, that meets this specification is the SpaceX Falcon 9FT. Steve Weinkle Spaceport Camden Draft EIS Comments Page 2 of 20 Why is the FAA allowing the applicant to submit a hazard analysis for the NEPA Statement based on untested calculations for a rocket equivalent to the SpaceX F9 FT, rather than requiring use of precisely known, performance-based criteria and data? How does Camden County have access to SpaceX technical performance specifications if the information is proprietary to SpaceX? If Camden County has access to SpaceX proprietary data, why is the Hazard Analysis the FAA has used to for acceptance of the NEPA Region of Influence and other technical studies concealed from the public? 5. Why Is the Bayer Property Omitted from NEPA Impact Analysis REASON: ☒ Non-compliance ☒ Contradictions ☒ Error/Omission ☒ Did not Study ☒ Taking ☒ Other RULE/CODE/AUTHORITY/ DEIS CONTENT In the context of the placement of the Alternate Control Center and Visitor Center, DEIS Page 2-2 states, “Bayer CropScience has indicated a willingness to sell the property to Camden County, should the County pursue the purchase. However, should the County not purchase the property nor reach an agreement to build on Bayer CropScience property, this facility would have to be relocated. Alternative locations for the facility would be assessed to determine the need for additional environmental impact analysis and documentation.” COMMENT(S) & COMMENT QUESTIONS Camden frequently states in the DEIS the spaceport property contains 11,600 acres. This would include approximately 4,000 acres purchased from Union Carbide acres and the purchase, lease or easements for 7,600 Bayer acres. The Bayer property is required for more than the placement of an Alternate facility. Camden states that if it does not purchase the Bayer property, the Launch Pad will not meet legal boundary requirements. Camden has addressed the boundary issues in the DEIS when identifying Alternate Launch Pad siting and it did not find another suitable site. Bayer owns the water wells required for the spaceport. Bayer owns the existing dock facility that is required for barge-landing. At the minimum, Camden County would require Bayer access easements to connect its facilities. Bayer contains both identified and unknown hazardous waste sites. Bayer owns substantial property that would be in the Launch Hazard Area. Why has the Bayer site been omitted in the NEPA EIS Impact studies? 6. Fails to Address DOI/NPS Concerns About CUIS REASON: ☒ Non-compliance ☐ Contradictions ☐ Error/Omission ☒ Did not Study ☒ Taking ☐ Other RULE/CODE/AUTHORITY/ DEIS CONTENT 40CFR1508.27(b) Intensity, states, “This refers to the severity of impact. Responsible officials must bear in mind that more than one agency may make decisions about partial aspects of a major action. The following should be considered in evaluating intensity: (1) Impacts that may be both beneficial and adverse. A significant effect may exist even if the Federal agency believes that on balance the effect will be beneficial. (2) The degree to which the proposed action affects public health or safety. (3) Unique characteristics of the geographic area such as proximity to historic or cultural resources, park lands, prime farmlands, wetlands, wild and scenic rivers, or ecologically critical areas. Steve Weinkle Spaceport Camden Draft EIS Comments Page 3 of 20 (4) The degree to which the effects on the quality of the human environment are likely to be highly controversial. (5) The degree to which the possible effects on the human environment are highly uncertain or involve unique or unknown risks. (6) The degree to which the action may establish a precedent for future actions with significant effects or represents a decision in principle about a future consideration.” COMMENT(S) & COMMENT QUESTIONS NPS is the “agency” with vested responsibility for Cumberland Island National Seashore which lies unavoidably in the Launch Hazard Area.

  • Potential Visitor Impact from One Rocket Launch (PDF)
    TO: Spaceport Camden FROM: The Center for Business Analytics and Economic Research DATE: October 5, 2020 SUBJECT: Potential Visitor Impact from One Rocket Launch Introduction Spaceport Camden is continuing to follow the development process required to become an operating commercial spaceport. This spaceport will focus on small-lift launch vehicles that typically cover rockets with a payload of 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs.) that go into low earth orbit (LEO).1 When these launches begin at Spaceport Camden, the majority of the economic impact will be generated by the direct operations of the businesses located at the spaceport and visitors who come to watch these launches. For the purposes of this memorandum, the Center for Business Analytics and Economic Research is focusing on the visitors who will come to watch or aid with the launches. Within the visitor segment, tourists who are willing to travel to watch a launch typically fall into two different market segments. First is the Space Enthusiasts’ market, which includes 10.8 percent of the U.S. population, and the other is the Educational Families’ market, which covers 4.9 percent of the U.S. population.2 Both of these markets are different than the adventure market that is interested in traveling to space as a space tourist.3 The space tourist market is not included in the economic impact segment of this analysis because the needs of these visitors are very different from those of the other types of visitors; however, given the potential for development within this market, CBAER has included an overview of the space tourism market within this memorandum.

  • National Spaceport Network Development Plan
    SPfciCEPORT ALLIANCE National Spaceport Network Development Plan Prepared by the Global Spaceport Alliance for the Office of Spaceports Office of Commercial Space Transportation Federal Aviation Administration June 1, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Space has become an indispensable part of everyday life in the 21st century, supporting not only our nation's military and intelligence capabilities, but also communications, navigation, weather forecasting, agriculture, financial transactions, disaster response, and even entertainment. The Eastern Range, located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, and the Western Range, located at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, have served as the military's primary launch sites for space launches and missile tests for more than 60 years. Many NASA and commercial space missions have also been conducted from those locations. Recently however, a number of commercial spaceports have been established by state and local governments, or by private companies, based on a desire to take advantage of the growing space economy, to minimize the federal regulatory burden, and to provide additional launch opportunities for civil and commercial space missions. The development of a National Spaceport Network, consisting of current and prospective commercial spaceports, government-owned-and-operated launch & landing sites, and privately- owned-and-operated launch & landing sites, offers an opportunity to increase the safety, capacity, efficiency, and resiliency of the nation's space operations. Such a network could provide the framework for formal or informal public-private partnerships between federal, state, and local governments; the aerospace industry; and academia. A key component of the operation of a successful network of spaceports is federal funding for infrastructure development.

Millions of people took the opportunity to refl ect upon that amazing achievement and to consider the progress that has been made in the intervening years. While humanity hasn’t been back to the moon in recent decades, more people than ever before are working to make space travel an everyday business. Commercial space is now a $360 billion industry. The past year has seen progress towards new spaceports from Scotland to south Texas to Japan. More than 100 commercial launch companies are working today on developing new rockets and the business models to support them. And the excitement around the business opportunities that regular space travel could spawn – from tourism to manufacturing to telecommunications – has never been higher. For this publication, we spoke to 11 infl uential leaders in the commercial space industry about what’s happening on the ground today, and where they see the industry in the near future. Each had different forecasts about which segments might grow faster – but all saw growth ahead. They all discussed the challenges and promises of closer cooperation, at local, national, and global levels. They expressed a need for an educated, space-related workforce, and the importance of sustaining the interest in space travel that students still have today.

Wayne Monteith Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20591 [email protected] RE: FAA Review of Proposed Spaceport Camden, Camden County, GA Gen. Monteith: On behalf of One Hundred Miles, the National Parks Conservation Association, the Satilla Riverkeeper, and Wild Cumberland, the Southern Environmental Law Center submits the following comments regarding the Federal Aviation Administration’s (“FAA”) review of the Revised Launch Site Operator License Application (“LSOL Application”)1 for the proposed Spaceport Camden submitted by Camden County, Georgia. This letter incorporates by reference all comments submitted in prior correspondence to the FAA, including comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“DEIS”) and SELC’s February 2, 2020 letter. On September 11, 2020, the FAA released an open letter (the “September 11th Letter”) stating its intention to curtail the environmental review of Spaceport Camden. This decision reversed the process set forth in an earlier statement by the FAA.2 Specifically, the FAA stated its plan to finalize the DEIS for this project despite that fact that the Spaceport Camden proposal had been revised in the interim. Further, the FAA indicated that it will not conduct any additional public engagement or solicit public comment on the revised proposal. 1 Launch Site Operator License Application for Spaceport Camden, Camden County Board of Commissioners (January 14, 2020). 2 May 26, 2020 Email from S.
