Book excerpt: The Over-the Horizon Backscatter (OTH-B) radar is a surveillance and tracking radar system planned for four locations in the United States. The CRS will, in conjunction with the East Coast, West Coast, and Alaska radar systems, provide early detection of hostile aircraft approaching North America. CRS site- selection studies began in the early 1980s. Nine potential areas for siting of CRS transmit and receive facilities were examined in a 1986 Draft EIS and a 1987 Final EIS. This EIS is tiered upon the earlier EIS. A Record of Decision issued in 1988 selected the Amherst, South Dakota study area for the transmit facilities and the Thief River Falls, Minnesota study area for the receive facilities and determined that additional environmental assessment of specific sites would be necessary. Considering operational, environmental, and socioeconomic criteria, two alternative preliminary site layouts within the Amherst study area (labelled TX-N and Tx-S) and two alternative preliminary site layouts within the Thief River Falls study area (labelled RX-E and RX-W) were defined for the CRS transmit and receive facilities, respectively. Those alternative study areas are examined in this EIS. The 1988 ROD also determined that construction and operation of the CRS operation center at Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota would not cause significant environmental impacts, therefore the operations center is not analyzed in this EIS.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document describes the probable environmental impacts of constructing and operating a new surveillance and tracking radar that operates in the High-Frequency band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The radar system would consist of four very large transmit antenna arrays located in either northeastern South Dakota or west-central Minnesota, four larger receive antenna arrays located in either eastern North Dakota or northwestern Minnesota, and an operations center proposed for Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota. Five areas were considered for the transmit arrays, four areas for the receive arrays, and one site for the operations center. Potential significant physical and biological impacts can be avoided or minimized by careful selection of the transmit and receive sites. The key concerns are erosion in areas where substantial grading would be required, interruption of water courses and drainage patterns, disturbance of migratory bird habitat, and the potential for birds colliding with the antennas. Moderate economic stimulation of local economies would result from construction activities, but the benefits of continuing operations would be small. Electromagnetic interference with telecommunication systems is unlikely. No reliable evidence exists that chronic exposure of humans to the radiofrequency radiation levels outside the exclusion fence surrounding the transmit site is likely to be harmful.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force (USAF) proposes to construct an Over-the-Horizon Backscatter (OTH-B) radar facility in the north central region of the United States. This system, to be known as the Central Radar System (CRS), will be comprised of a transmit site, a receive site, and an operations center. This study provides an overview of the USAF's Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP). The overview begins with the site selection process that occurred during the preparation of initial Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statements, which led to the selection of the transmit and receive study areas in a 1988 Record of Decision (ROD). In the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and the ROD, the USAF made a commitment to prepare a site-specific environmental document and to conduct a number of site-specific studies in order to further define potential impacts from the proposed facilities. This report describes the process used to select specific siting areas within the two selected study areas.
