VAFB-2019-18: Historical Building Evaluation for Building 8401, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California (2020-EIS-MQ9)

Summary

This document is a Section 106 built environment evaluation for the United States Air Force proposal to bed down an MQ-9 Remotely Piloted Aircraft Wing at either Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) or Tyndall AFB. An Environmental Impact Statement is being prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act to analyze the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed beddown of the MQ-9 Wing. The proposed action could impact one building (Building 8401) at Vandenberg AFB that had not previously been evaluated for National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility.

Under the requirements of Sections 110 and 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended (36 Code of Federal Regulations 800), the Air Force Civil Engineer Center contracted to complete an Architectural Resource Survey of Building 8401 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, located in Santa Barbara County, California. Primary tasks included conducting documentary research and an architectural survey to record and photograph Building 8401. In addition, the building was evaluated to determine whether it is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), either individually and/or as a historic district. This report was prepared for coordination with the California State Historic Preservation Officer for review and concurrence of findings.
