Public Notice:
Environmental Assessment
Center for Excellence in Ocean Mapping
Description: Interested parties are hereby notified that a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) have been prepared for the Proposed Action described below.
Authority: This notice is being issued to all interested parties in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 United States Code 4321, et seq.), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Administrative Order 216-6A and its accompanying Companion Manual; and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Suborder 7301.14, National Environmental Policy Act.
Proposed Action: The University of New Hampshire (UNH) proposes to construct and operate a joint Ocean Mapping Center of Excellence (CoE) and Innovation Center, in “The Edge” redevelopment area on the Durham campus in Strafford County, New Hampshire. UNH has been awarded United States (U.S.) Department of Commerce (DOC) federal grant funds from the NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS) and NIST to design and build the facility. Since UNH is a non-federal entity, NOAA has initiated the environmental impact analysis for UNH’s Proposed Action that utilizes federal grant funds. Therefore, NOAA is the lead agency for this EA, and NIST is a cooperating agency. NOAA is considering two alternatives: the Preferred Alternative, which would implement the Proposed Action; and the No Action Alternative, which would not implement the Proposed Action but provides a comparative baseline for potential impacts.
The Draft EA evaluates the potential impacts on the environment from implementing the Proposed Action. The evaluation concludes there would be no significant impact as a result of implementing the Proposed Action, which includes compliance with all federal and state laws and regulations, including consultation and permitting, and routine best management practices.
Public Review: The Draft EA and Draft FONSI will be available between July 21, 2025, and August 20, 2025, for a 30-day public comment period.
Comments: The public may obtain information and submit comments on the Draft EA and Draft FONSI during the review period via U.S. mail to Anne Delp, 1305 East West Highway, SSMC4 Room 5309, Silver Spring, MD 20910, or via email to anne.delp@noaa.gov. Comments must be received by August 20, 2025.
