During the late summer of 1989, the Air Force began a thorough review of its force structure, property, and facility requirements needed to support national security policy and future fiscal realities. As a result of this review process, the Secretary of Defense, on 29 January 1990, announced his proposal to close or realign a number of military bases. Los Angeles AFB, California, has been identified as a candidate for closure in conjunction with the proposed relocation of HQ SSD and appropriate supporting units to Vandenberg AFB, California. Prior to closure decisions, studies of strategic, operational, budgetary, fiscal, environmental, and local economic consequences are required under Title 10 USC 2687. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the results of the environmental study are described in this DEIS, which includes analyses of community setting, land use and aesthetics, transportation, utilities, hazardous materials, geology and soils, water resources, air quality, noise, biological resources, and cultural and paleontological resources. As alternatives, the DEIS also analyzes the impacts of relocating HQ SSD and its support units to March AFB, California; Falcon and Peterson AFBs, Colorado; or Kirtland AFB, New Mexico.
In compliance with these regulations, the Air Force released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Closure of Los Angeles AFB, California and Relocation of Space Systems Division for a 45-day public review and comment period on August 10, 1990. Copies of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) were sent to agencies, organizations, and individuals as required, and were made available to the public upon request. A listing of recipients is provided in Appendix C. Copies of the DEIS were also sent to public and university libraries near each of the bases considered in the document. This appendix provides a summary of the public comment and review period and contains an overview of the public comment management process, a listing of all respondents, copies of the public hearing transcripts and all written comment documents received, and a listing of all issues identified in the documents and the responses to the issues.
