Summary

This government generated Section 106 report is a historic property inventory and an assessment of adverse effects associated with the Space Launch Complex (SLC)-4 East Flame Trench Catchment Area Project. The purpose of the document is to compile any prior or current studies performed in support of the SLC-4 East flame trench catchment area project as a single Section 106 report. This report provides the information needed by the California State Historic Preservation Officer to concur on the project findings and determinations for individual resources as presented by the Vandenberg Air Force Base Cultural Resource Manager. The report provides background information on a single resource located in close proximity to the project ADI, CA-SBA-537/1816, that required presence/absence testing for subsurface cultural materials. No archaeological deposits were encountered during testing. The report supports a project finding of no historic properties affected.
