17499,MX Coordination Office,MX environmental technical reports,1980.,Numerical by environmental technical report number.,"This series contains Environmental Technical Reports published by Henningson\, Durham\, and Richardson (HDR Sciences)\, Santa Barbara\, California. They were created for the United States Air Force Ballistic Missile Office\, Norton Air Force Base\, California. They were used to assess the environmental impact of the proposed MX Missile System in potential deployment areas. They were used in Utah by the MX Coordination Office to plan for the MX Missile System and to study the possible impacts related to its construction. The reports are extremely detailed and contain analyses performed for different deployment scenarios. The series includes reports on both Designated Deployment Areas (DDAs) for the MX Missile System for Nevada/Utah and Texas/New Mexico\, as well as reports on each county that would likely be affected by construction of the MX Missile System in Utah and Nevada. The reports contain information on the socioeconomic impacts of construction of the missile system. Reports are,included for Eureka\, Clark\, Lincoln\, Nye\, and White Pine Counties in Nevada and for Salt Lake/Utah\, Washington\, Millard\, Beaver\, Iron\, and Juab Counties in Utah. There are also reports on a number of areas of concern\, including Atmospheric Resources\, Vegetation\, Wildlife\, Aquatic Habitats and Biota\, Protected Species\, Natural Areas\, Traffic\, Land Use\, Geology and Mining\, Water Resources\, Cultural Resources\, Energy\, Cement\, Steel\, Economic Model\, Social Model\, Public Finance Model\, Indirect Effects\, Construction\, Noise\, and SRM (Systematic Ranking Methodology).

4252,MX Coordination Office,Federal aid programs subject files,1978-1981.,Alphabetical by subject.,"In response to President Carter's Executive Order 12049 in 1978\, a cabinet level committee was established on the federal level to coordinate activities of several federal agencies and departments in relation to the MX missile project. The committee sponsored an MX Economic Adjustment Program and funded activities including (1) organization of commmunity groups\, (2) planning for community impact assistance\, (3) mobilization of private sector resources\, and (4) implementation of community impact assistance. Officials from both Utah and Nevada applied for funding under this program. Information on various federal programs useful to local planning efforts was collected from the Office of Economic Adjustment and from other sources. The files contain reports\, studies\,,correspondence\, and other documents describing the recent history of community impact assistance programs in other parts of the country\, and illustrating efforts by local officials in Utah and Nevada to obtain adequate resources for coping with anticipated impacts of MX deployment in these states.",,Public,2.00 cubic feet

Once collected\, studies and reports were evaluated in terms of how they might directly affect both local communities in the deployment area and the environment in general. Documents were often circulated to other state agency personnel or to technical experts hired by the state\, and any comments from these sources were kept and also used as background data for the formal response to the Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Statement.",,Public,10.00 cubic feet

Information in this series essentially placed the MX missile in the context of the larger national defense system. Conflicting opinions from both supporters and opponents of the project are well represented. The general debate concerned deployment of the MX missile and whether it really contributed to the defense of the nation. Expected environmental\, economic\, and social impacts of deployment are also documented. Letters\, memos\, reports\, notes\, personal statements\, and newsletters written by political leaders at all levels of government are contained in this series.,Records created by agency administration to document the research\, creation and application of agency programs\, policies and procedures.

4247,MX Coordination Office,Governor's MX missile correspondence,1979-1981.,Chronological by date.,"The correspondence illustrates the evolution of public opinion about the MX project. Correspondents usually offered suggestions and expressed support or opposition to the project\, but they also frequently wanted to discuss specific social\, environmental\, and economic impacts of missile deployment in Utah and Nevada. Governor Matheson's letters illustrate the evolution of his views on MX deployment in Utah as well\, and his growing conviction that alternate basing sites and basing modes should be considered.",,Public,1.00 cubic foot
4254,MX Coordination Office,Draft environmental impact statements and technical reports,1978-1981.,Alphanumerical by subseries.,"Collected in this series are those reports and studies that were undertaken after the Great Basin area had been selected as a prime location for deployment of the MX system and after the missile basing mode had been selected. Federal law required that an environmental impact statement be written before the MX missile system could be deployed. Hennigson was hired as the Air Force's chief subcontractor\, and they either hired other subcontractors to complete specific studies\, or they completed the work themselves. Subcontractors studied potential sites for the main operating bases and for missile storage and tracking facilities. These studies included FUGRO\, ERTEC\, and EDAW. The Utah MX Coordination Office acquired each group of reports as part of their effort to evaluate the impacts that deployment of the missile system would have on Utah. Reports included environmental impact; deployment area selection; field surveys; and comprehensive plans.,Records created by agency administration to document the research\, creation and application of agency programs\, policies and procedures.
