Final environmental statement: proposed 1979 Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas lease sale 58A
Maps of the area affected by the proposed oil and gas lease sale (No. 58A) in the western and central Gulf of Mexico included in 122 tracts located on the Outer continental Shelf in federal waters offshore of the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama are presented. These proposed tracts comprise approximately 582,529.75 acres ranging from 3 to 165 nautical miles (6 to 189 kilometers) from shore in water depths of 6 to 500 meters. Approximately 58% of the tracts are gas prone, 4% are oil prone, and 38% are both oil and gas prone. Twelve maps of the affected area on the following subjects are included: submarine physiography of the Gulf of Mexico; selected hurricanes affecting the southern United States OCS are 1954 to 1977 and damaging tropical cyclones 1901 to 1955; index of topographic bathymetric mapping for the southeastern United States OCS area at a scale of 1:250,000; lease status and major public areas; overlay of proposed tracts ICS sale No. 58A; geologic and geomorphic features; bottom sediments, vegetation, and endangered wildlife; recreation, cultural, and undersea features; coastal zone, offshore fisheries and EPA dumping sites; generalized land use and oceanography; infrastructure, accidents, and undersea features; and geothermal and geopressure zones.
