Book Description
This Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared as part of the United States Air force (USAF) Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) for evaluation of proposed major projects, in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the regulations of the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) for NEPA compliance. The Draft EIS presents an analysis of the purpose and need for the proposed action and its alternatives. The SLC-7 facility would be a fenced area of about 50 acres, within which the major preparation and launch activities would occur. Some related activities, including launch control and core vehicle and satellite processing, would occur at existing facilities on VAFB that currently operate in support of Scout, Titan II, and other Titan IV programs. The primary elements of the SLC-7 project, to be constructed and operated onsite, would be the vehicle launch support structure/flame duct, launch mount, umbilical tower, and mobile service tower. There also would be an operations support building, access roads and parking, fuel storage, security systems, and fire protection. Offsite facilities include water storage tank(s), sewage treatment plant, evaporation/ percolation ponds, electrical substation, and communications and utility corridors.

Book Description
The Department of the Air Force is proposing to construct and operate Space Launch Complex 7 (SLC-7) at Vandenberg AFB to launch Department of Defense satellites beginning in 1994 into polar orbit aboard Titan Centaur expendable space launch vehicles. The proposed location of SLC-7 is near Cypress Ridge on South Vandenberg, approximately one mile south of SLC-6, the Vandenberg AFB launch site for the Space Shuttle. The proposed action includes the construction of the launch complex and support facilities, the extension of roads and utilities on Vandenberg AFB, and the launching of the Titan Centaur. In addition, existing launch support facilities constructed for other space launch systems at Vandenberg AFB (i.e., Space Shuttle) are proposed to be used and/or modified as required to support the new launch complex. The satellites proposed to launch aboard the Titan Centaur from SLC-7 require polar orbits. Vandenberg AFB is the only existing U.S. government launch site that can launch satellites into polar orbits without over flying populated land masses.
