Deployment Area Selection and Land Withdrawal/Acquisition. M-X/MPS (M-X/Multiple Protective Shelter) Environmental Technical Report. Atmospheric Resources
Abstract
On October 2, 1981, the President announced his decision to cancel the M-X Multiple Protective Shelter (MPS) basing system. The Air Force was, at that time, working to prepare a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the MPS site selection process. This preliminary FEIS captures the environmental data and analysis in the document that was nearing completion when the President decided to deploy the M-X system in a different manner. Areas considered wer in Nevada, Utah, Texas, and New Mexico. Topics considered include: Atmospheric resources in the existing environment and the future environment without the M-X; Air quality model descriptions and inputs -- M-X-related emissions, Deployment area construction particulate and vehicular emissions, and Generator emissions(Gaseous and Particulate), and Vehicular emissions on the highway from the operating base to the support community; Meteorological data -- Terrain and predicted pollutant concentrations -- Construction-related particulate pollutant and operation-related gaseous, pollutant impacts, and Wind erosion impacts during operation and Visibility.
