In June 2008, CBP posted the project description, examples of vehicle fence, general location of tactical infrastructure (TI), and Environmental Stewardship Plan (ESP) resource areas for these vehicle fence projects for 15 days to seek information from the public on any sensitive resources that should be included in the preparation of the ESPs. CBP also held a public meeting in Yuma, Arizona on May 15, 2008, and held additional meetings with State and Federal resource agencies to gather information and data on sensitive environmental resources in the project areas. Information obtained from these efforts has been evaluated and was incorporated into the environmental analysis as appropriate. The resulting ESPs for the individual projects are provided below.

In addition to the individual project ESPs for vehicle fence provided below, CBP is preparing a final Sector level summary report (Environmental Stewardship Summary Report, or ESSR). The purpose of this ESSR is to consolidate and summarize changes made to the fence alignment during construction and present results of environmental monitoring during the construction to evaluate substantive differences in the environmental footprint and impact (positive and negative) compared to the original ESPs. This report will serve as a new environmental baseline for these segments.

There are currently four vehicle fence projects within the Yuma Sector: CV-1A, CV-1B, CV-2, and CV-2A. Segment CV-1A is located within the Yuma Station area of operation (AO) and segment CV-2 is located within the Wellton Station AO. The CV-1B vehicle fence segment is located entirely on Cocopah Native American Nation land and the individual ESP has been coordinated directly with the Nation. The ESP for CV-1B will not be posted on this website or included in the Yuma Sector ESSR.
