Environmental Assessment of the effects of replacing two utility poles at VAFB, CA to raise the utility lines crossing Bear Creek, and thus allow transfer of new missile satellite along this route. Higher lines required because new satellite fairing is larger than those previously transported to the launch complex accessed by this route. Significant issues discussed in the EA included effects on Threatened and Endangered Species and Cultural Resources. Consultation with U.S. FWS and State Historical Preservation Officer are attached to EA. EA concludes with a FONSI (finding of no significant impact), signed by Base Vice Commander, thus precluding the need for an EIS.
