GRA (NTIS NTS) ETD (Energy Technblogy Data US DOE Project/NonDOE Project: NP Country of Origin: United States / Country of Publication: United States Abstract: 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 include land and reef areas, water resources, air quality, noise, biological resources including endangered species, cultural resources, socioeconomics, transportation, utilities, from radars, and range safety. electromagnetic radiation Major Descriptors: *BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE -- SPACE WEAPONS; *MISSILES -- TEST FACILITIES; *SPACE WEAPONS -- TEST FACILITIES; *TEST FACILITIES -- ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS Descriptors: AIR QUALITY; CONSTRUCTION; DATA ACQUISITION; ECONOMIC IMPACT; ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION; ENDANGERED SPECIES; MARSHALL ISLANDS; NOISE; SURVEILLANCE; WATER RESOURCES Broader Terms: DOCUMENT TYPES; ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY; ISLANDS; MICRONESIA; NATIONAL DEFENSE; OCEANIA; RADIATIONS; RESOURCES Subject Categories: 450500* -- Military Technology, Weaponry, Defense -- Strategic Defense Initiative -- (1990-) 10/5/366 02824927 (Item 66 from file: & National 103) GRA-90-50072; EDB-90-042153; ERA-15-020245 Title: Strategic Defense Initiative Demonstration/Validation Program: Environmental assessments summary.
