Book Description

The United States Air Force proposes to deploy an advanced, landbased, intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system known as M-X to improve the nation's strategic deterrent force. This Legislative Environmental Impact Statement (LEIS) identifies and compares potential impacts of deployment of M-X in the Closely Spaced Basing (CSB) mode in alternative basing locations. This LEIS deals with potential environmental effects on: Quality of Life; Biology, including threatened and endangered species; Air Quality; Transportation; Energy and Utilities; Hydrology and Water Quality; Mining and Fossil Fuels; Socioeconomics; Land Use; American Indians; and Cultural Resources.

Book Description

Soviet missiles developments are making our land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) increasingly vulnerable. To improve deterrence against hostile actions against the United States, the U.S. Air Force proposes to deploy 200 mobile M-X missiles in a survivable multiple protective shelter (MPS) basing mode. The system will include two operating bases, 4600 shelters, approximately 8,500 miles of roads, and related support facilities, operated and maintained by about 13,000 people.

Book Description

THIS PAPER DESCRIBED THE PROCESS USED TO SELECT REASONABLE BASING AREAS FOR M-X, concentrating on recent evaluations which led to the selection of two potential basing areas for further study. The selection process began in 1977 with consideration of the entire continental United States. This initial work surveyed basing needs, screened possible areas for M-X deployment, and finally identified six potential basing areas for deployment of M-X in Multiple Protective shelters MPS). Maps and descriptions of these areas are included. Previous criteria were augmented with military and operational considerations in order to identify which, if any, of the six potential basing areas were unreasonable to pursue.

Book Description

The Proposed Action and eight alternatives present deployment systems featuring full deployment of 200 missiles in Nevada/Utah or Texas/New Mexico, and split basing deployment of approximately one-half the missiles in Nevada/Utah and one-half in Texas/New Mexico. The Proposed Action and alternatives each require two operating base (OB) complexes. Base site locations under study are in the vicinity of Ely and Coyote Spring Valley, Nevada; Beryl, Milford, and Delta, Utah; Clovis, New Mexico; and Dalhart Texas. (Author).
