El Centro Sector is located in Southern California in the Imperial Valley. El Centro's area of operation has diverse terrain - principally desert with some mountain ranges and wide areas of agricultural lands. The desert poses a danger for agents and potential border crossers as the summer heat can exceed 120 degrees. El Centro Sector has four Border Patrol stations. They are located in the cities of El Centro, Calexico, Indio, and Riverside. The El Centro Sector is responsible for 70 miles of international border. In direct support of the Border Patrol's National Strategy, El Centro Sector works to protect the external boundaries of the United States to prevent, detect, apprehend, and interdict terrorists, illegal aliens, smugglers, contraband, and violators of other laws. This mission is being accomplished utilizing a deterrence-based enforcement strategy that employs a sophisticated blend of tactics, technology, and a highly visible deployment of agents. While new technologies and traditions are being created, the fundamental values of the Border Patrol still ring true, "Honor First." This site provides Sector-related information, including Sector operations, Sector contact information, where our stations are located, and news. Thank you for visiting the El Centro Sector webpage.

The updated information was provided to our office on September 27, 2013. Applicant: U.S. Customs and Border Protection Contact: Paul Enriquez, (949) 360-2382 Applicant Representative: CBP Contact: John Petrilla, (949) 360-2382 Project Name: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Project - West Desert All-Weather Road, Phase B El Centro - Imperial Coun , WDID No. 7A333133001 Start and Completion: The Project is scheduled to begin on October 1, 2013 and to be completed in February 2014. Project Description: The purpose of the Project is to increase border security within the United States Border Patrol (USBP) - El Centro Sector with an ultimate objective of reducing illegal crossborder activity by providing safer and more efficient access for USBP agents along the U.S./Mexico border in the west desert area of the USBP - El Centro Station's area of responsibility. The primary need for the Project is because of the remoteness of the west desert area and the impassability of the existing road , which creates long drive times for agents to reach patrol areas and limits their ability to assist with interdictions and apprehensions. An additional need for the Project is to provide agents with the infrastructure necessary to carry out USBP's mission . The Project includes the improvement and construction, operation, and maintenance of approximately 1.6 miles of allweather roads. The Project involves the improvement of an existing border road and construction of a new access road to the top of BP Hill, where CBP operates a Remote Video Surveillance System (RVSS) tower. The border road would be improved to an all-weather surface road (1.4 miles long) approximately 20 feet wide with 2-foot shoulders and would U.S. Customs and Border Protection West Desert Phase B Project WDID No. 7A333133001 -7- October 2, 2013 include any necessary drainage structures (i.e., culverts and low-water crossings). In addition to the 1.4 miles of road improvement, a new access road (approximately 0.2 mile) leading to the BP Hill RVSS tower from the improved border road would be constructed. This road would be a 16-foot-wide road with necessary drainage structures an include all-weather surfacing. The total permanent footprint for the new access road to BP Hill would be 30 feet wide by 0.2 mile long. The temporary footprint would be 90 feet wide by 0.2 mile long. Upon completion of the improvements and construction activities, all temporarily disturbed areas would be rehabilitated per BLM guidelines. Project Location: City or Area: El Centro, County: Imperial Longitude/Latitude: Begins at N32° 38.89518, W115° 43.52994, Ends at N 32° 38.96544, W 115° 42.1974. Township/Range: Section 26, Township 17 South, Range 12 East, San Bernardino Meridian. Receiving Water(s): Pinto Wash is located north of the project area in the Salton Sea Watershed west of the Westside Main Canal and between the U.S./Mexico border and California State Route 98. Water may flow through this ephemeral wash into the Westside Main Canal, which eventually delivers water into the Salton Sea, or into delivery canals and through agricultural fields into drains and then into washes that flow to the New River and eventually into the Salton Sea. Project Impacts: The Project would not result in a permanent impact to any perennial or intermittent streams, as none are present within the project corridor. At total of six juri,sdictional ephemeral Waters of the U.S. were identified during field surveys within the project corridor. The six ephemeral washes that are Waters of the U.S. would be traversed using concrete lowwater crossings, reinforced concrete pipes, or box culverts. The expected total impact on those Waters of the U.S. is less than 0.35 acre.

Proper maintenance of construction equipment and the use of Best Management · Practices (BMPs) during construction activities would minimize the possibility of accidental spills of petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL) that, if they occurred , could affect surface water and groundwater quality. Operation and maintenance of the proposed roadways would have no effect on the region's surface water or groundwater supplies and/or quality. Best Management Practices: US Customs and Border Protection will implement the BMPs described in the Environmental Assessment Report. U.S. Customs and Border Protection West Desert Phase B Project WDID No. 7A333133001 -9- October 2, 2013 BMPs such as the installation of straw bales and silt fences, will be employed to reduce or eliminate sedimentation or erosion as a result of the construction activities. Construction would not occur during the rainy season to avoid erosion and sedimentation issues. CSP will avoid contaminating natural aquatic systems with runoff by limiting all equipment maintenance, staging, laydown, and dispensing of fuel, oil, etc., to designated upland areas. No refueling or storage will take place within 100 feet of drainages. Additionally, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan will be developed and maintained to ensure that all are aware of its implementation requirements in the event of a spill. All temporarily disturbed areas will be rehabilitated to its original condition. Additionally, native organic material would be collected and stockpiled during construction to be used for erosion control after construction while the areas naturally rehabilitate. Placement of riprap would reduce stream velocities and protect the drainage structure and downstream reaches from erosional forces. Federal Permit(s): This Project was determined to fall under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permit Number 14 (Linear Transportation Projects). Status of CEQA: The Regional Water Board determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines§ 15301 (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15301) (Existing Facilities) "Existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety)." U.S. Customs and Border Protection West Desert Phase B Project WDID No. 7A333133001 - 10 - October 2, 2013 In addition to this exemption, the Regional Water Board determined that the project is also categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15302). This exemption applies to the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15062, the Regional Water Board shall file a Notice of Exemption with the Office of Planning and Research upon approval of the Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification.
