VAFB-2020-34: Identification of Built Environment Historic Properties and Assessment of Effects, Ground Based Strategic Detterent Test Program

Author(s): Chad Blackwell

Year: 2020

Summary

This document is a Section 106 Identification of Built Environment Historic Properties and Assessment of Effects for the Ground Bases Strategic Deterrent Test Program (GBSD). The project proposes to develop and test a new Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) system by utilizing and modifying existing ICBM infrastructure at VAFB. The proposed Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) Test Program would develop and test a new ICBM system that would modernize the United States’ land-based nuclear arsenal for the purposes of replacing the existing Minuteman III ICBM system. This report concludes with analysis of the proposed project actions at each of the individually eligible resources, applies the criteria of effect as regulated at 36 CFR 800.5, and provides an opinion that the proposed GBSD Test Program would result in adverse effects to three of the four individually eligible historic properties: LF-26, LF-04, and MAF-D0.
