Since theCOMPTUEX/JTFEX occurs primarily in the marine environment, transportation and traffic discussionsin this EA/OEA focus on military and civilian use of the air and sea routes within the SOCAL OPAREA.Transportation activities related to surface traffic would not be affected by COMPTUEX/JTFEX trainingactivities because these activities are minimal and would not disrupt transportation patterns, affect trafficflow, or deteriorate existing levels of service for existing transportation networks. Therefore, surfacetraffic it is not addressed in this EA/OEA.3.8.1 Ocean TrafficThe Coast Guard typically establishes maritime traffic routes. The major purpose of the routes (oftenreferred to as shipping lanes) is to allow access to major ports for large commercial vessels whileproviding adequate separation space from other types of offshore activities. The ranges are adjacent toseveral major commercial shipping lanes.Ocean traffic flow in congested waters, especially near-coastlines, is controlled by the use of directionalshipping lanes for large vessels (cargo, container ships, and tankers). Traffic flow controls are alsoimplemented to ensure that harbors and ports-of-entry remain as uncongested as possible. There is lesscontrol on ocean traffic involving recreational boating, sport fishing, commercial fishing, and activity byFebruary 2007 3-76
