    SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT JTF-6 FENCE AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION, DOUGLAS, COCHISE COUNrry, ARIZONA Prepared for: JOINT TASK FORCE SIX FORT BLISS, TEXAS Prepared by: U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS FT. WORTH DISTRICT Ft. Worth, Texas JULY 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Environmental Assessment (EA) addresses the potential for significant adverse or beneficial environmental impacts in accordance with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This document was tiered from existing EAs completed for previous construction activities (U.S. Army 199la, 1993) in the same vicinity, and a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement completed for Joint Task Force Six (JTF-6) activities along the U.S.-Mexico border (U.S. Army 1994). The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the U.S. Border Patrol, Tucson Sector are proposing to replace approximately six miles of fence, construct 0.5 miles of new road, and improve 0.8 miles of road along the U.S.-Mexico border at Douglas, Cochise County, Arizona. Approximately 1.3 miles would be of decorative fence, with the remaining 4.9 miles of steel landing mat. These agencies have requested support from JTF-6 for the use of military personnel and equipment to complete this action. JTF-6 has requested that the Fort Worth District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers assess the potential for impacts related to construction of the fences. The proposed action would increase the U.S. Border Patrol's ability to complete their mission of reducing illegal drug traffic into the U.S. The proposed construction area encompasses approximately six miles of existing border fence near Douglas within a corridor that would be a maximum of 30 feet wide.

On the other side of the riverbed, where you might expect to find desert saguaro and cholla, emerald green farm fields blur into the horizon: perfectly flat rectangles laid out one after the other, separated by canals and irrigation Pima Indian Francis Jones irrigates cotton at ditches into a gigantic crossword puzzle-like grid.
