Welcome to the SOCAL Range Complex EIS/OEIS Website
Welcome to the Navy’s official Web site for the Southern California (SOCAL) Range Complex Environmental Impact Statement/Oversees Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS). This EIS/OEIS examines the potential environmental effects of the Navy’s proposal.
The Navy is the lead agency for this EIS/OEIS. The SOCAL Range Complex is an area of about 120,000 square nautical miles off the coast of southern California. The proposed action consists of increases in the number of training operations, changes in the Navy’s force structure (such as new weapons systems), and additional enhancements in the range facilities. The proposed action is necessary for the SOCAL Range Complex to support current, emerging, and future training operationsand thus achieve and maintain Fleet readiness.

SOCAL Range Complex TrainingThe SOCAL Range Complex is the principal range for aviation, surface, submarine, amphibious, and special warfare units located in Southern California. |
Environmental StewardshipThe Navy manages its land, air, and sea ranges, facilities, and natural resources as integrated training range complexes to be able to meet its current and future requirements while protecting natural and cultural resources and minimizing effects to the environment. As responsible environmental stewards, the U.S. Navy is concerned about the potential effects of its operations on the environment and is committed to complying with all applicable federal laws, regulations and policies. The Navy spends millions of dollars each year on research to better understand the potential effects of its activities on the environment to help ensure that Navy policy and compliance are based on real science. |
The Navy Wants Your InputPublic involvement is a fundamental part of the EIS/OEIS development and the Navy wants and appreciates your comments. The Navy has established several venues and informational resource areas for the public to learn more and provide input.
