LET-623: Re: Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Test Program, Vandenberg Air Force Bae, Santa Barbara County (SHPO comment on Phase IV VSFB follow-up for GBSD letter)

Summary

This document is a letter continuing Section 106 consultation with the California State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) project. The letter provides comment from the SHPO addressing the answers provided to SHPO by the Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) Cultural Resource Manager regarding Phase IV of the project. While the letter also reiterates previous comments for phases I-III, the specific comment for Phase IV reads, "After reviewing the information provided, the SHPO has no concerns or comments about built environment resources for Phase IV." In regard to archaeological resources the letter specifically addresses the determination that CA-SBA-512 is eligible for listing on the NRHP. The letter also concurs that the activities associated with the GBSD project are an adverse effect and requests additional consultation for the mitigation consisting of distribution of outreach material. The SHPO specifically requests that the proposal to distribute interpretative materials be expanded to reach a larger audience than the current proposal to make materials available only on Vandenberg Space Force Base.
