Draft Environmental Impact Statement - MX Deployment Area Selection and Land Withdrawal/Acquisition DEIS.

Abstract

The United States Air Force proposes to deploy an advanced, land-based mobile, intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system known as M-X. This system will improve the nation's strategic deterrent force. In this regard, the Air Force is dedicated to meeting national defense goals while conserving natural and human resources. The purpose of this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is to document the analyses and studies performed to identify and compare potential impacts of proposed and alternative basing locations and identify the mitigation that are available. This EIS draft will be the basis for further public comment on the proposed project. A final EIS will be prepared in careful consideration of those comments and serve as an input to the decision process on a location for M-X deployment and withdrawal/acquisition of the land to base the system. The Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, is a cooperating agency for this EIS. (Author)
