ABSTRACT

UNL
The Kiernan Reentry Measurements System (KREMS),
located on Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific, is the United
States’ most sophisticated and important research and
development radar site. Consisting of four one-of-a-kind
instrumentation radars, KREMS has played a major role
for the past 25 years in the collection of data
associated with ICBM testing. Furthermore, it has served
as an important space-surveillance facility that
provides an early U.S. view of many Soviet and Chinese
satellite launches. Finally, the system is slated to
play a key role in Strategic Defense Initiative
experiments.

The purpose of the Proposed Action is to conduct tests
and collect data in support of continuing research,
development, and operational missions; operational space
track missions;
and Strategic Defense Initiative
research, development, test, and evaluation activities.
Three alternatives are considered in the Environmental
Impact
Statement
(EIS).
The No-Action Alternative
- includes the ongoing activities at USAKA. The Proposed
Action includes installation and testing of SDI
sensing/tracking equipment and interceptor missile
systems. Four construction projects in support of base
operators are also included. Finally, the EIS examines a
Change of Duration Alternative that implement as the
Proposed Action over a longer period of time. The EIS
examines the environmental impacts of each alternative.
Where impacts were found to be potentially significant,
mitigation measures are identified. Key topics addressed
by the EIS
I0038b1
include land and reef areas,
water resources,
