GREAT FALLS â As part of planning for the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) project, the proposed replacement for the nationâs Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) system, the Air Force will be conducting cultural resources, biological resources, and wetland surveys from July 12 through October 22, 2021, of proposed project areas that extend through parcels owned by private landowners, as well as parcels administered by federal and state agencies.
A news release from Malmstrom Air Force Base - which maintains and operates 150 ICBMs located in silos across north and central Montana - says the surveys will be used to determine if there are sensitive resources located within those areas. Right-of-Entry (ROE) request letters were sent in March of 2021 to landowners along those project areas requesting access to conduct these surveys. T
