The National Nuclear Security Agency’s Office of Secure Transportation (OST) proposes to install fencing along the Agent Operations Eastern Command’s permitted boundary. Fences would be a combination of three-strand, barbed wire and a 7-foot high, typical 2-inch mesh, galvanized fence that would be installed the length of the permitted area (approximately 9,200 feet). A set of gates would also be installed to create two vehicle entrapment areas to control access into the fenced area along the existing paved property access routes and the limited area at the OST Secure Transportation Center.
