Minuteman Missile National Historic Site: Draft General Management Plan/ Environmental Impact Statement
1999. Minuteman Missile National Historic Site: Draft General Management Plan/ Environmental Impact Statement. General Management Plan. National Park Service. South Dakota
Minuteman Missile National Historic Site (the national historic site) was authorized by an act of Congress on November 29, 1999 (Public Law 106-115) with a total of 7.85 acres. The national historic site consists of two noncontiguous facilities: the Delta One launch control facility (6.35 acres) and the Delta Nine launch facility (1.5 acres). A plan is needed to guide decision-makers on how to manage this national historic site. This Draft General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement presents four alternative concepts for future management of national historic site resources and visitor use and improvement of facilities, including the National Park Service’s preferred alternative. The four alternatives are alternative 1, the noaction alternative (continue current management), alternative 2, alternative 3, and alternative 4, the National Park Service’s preferred alternative. Each alternative concept answers the questions — where should the visitor/ administrative facility be located, what should visitors learn about the site, and how should visitors access the Delta facilities. Each of these decisions has implications for how visitors use the national historic site and the facilities needed to support those uses, how the site’s resources are managed, and how the National Park Service manages its operations.
