Scope of the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Environmental Impact Statement
You are now viewing an archived web page, the information on this web page may be out of date as this phase of the project has concluded.
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) project will evaluate the potential environmental consequences of deploying the GBSD weapon system and decommissioning and disposing of the Minuteman III weapon system. It will analyze facility construction and renovations and operations, which would occur at and around F.E. Warren Air Force Base (AFB), WY; Camp Guernsey, WY; Malmstrom AFB, MT; Minot AFB, ND; Hill AFB, UT; Utah Test and Training Range, UT; and Camp Navajo, AZ. The EIS also will evaluate the potential environmental consequences from conducting parts of both the Minuteman III and GBSD programs in parallel. To provide decision makers with enough information to plan and make informed decisions, the EIS will evaluate the following environmental resource categories.
