Environmental Impact Analysis Process. Environmental Assessment for NAVSTAR Global Positioning System, Block IIR, and Medium Launch Vehicle III, Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida

Abstract

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, the Council on Environmental Quality regulations implementing the Act (40 CFR 1500-1508), Department of Defense Directive 6050.1, Air Force Regulation 19-2, which implements these regulations in the Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP), Air Force Regulation 19-9 regarding interagency coordination, and other applicable federal and local regulations, the US Air Force has conducted an assessment of the potential environmental consequences of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) Block IIR satellite constellation and the Medium Launch Vehicle III (MLV III) program. Proposed Action: The Air Force proposes to transport, process, launch, operate, and ultimately dispose of 21 NAVSTAR GPS Block IIR Space Vehicles (SV) using the 21 Delta II Launch Vehicles (LV) proposed for acquisition under the MLV III program from Cape Canaveral Air Station (AS), Florida. The Block IIR SVs will replenish the current Block II/IIA SVs as their operational life ends.
