Present Land Use
According to the Base General Plan (Vandenberg AFB 2000), the base comprises the following land use areas: airfield operations and maintenance/space and missile launch activities, industrial, outdoor recreation, open space, and cantonment. The cantonment area is centrally located on North Vandenberg AFB and includes residential, administrative, industrial, recreational, open space, airfield, and community land uses. This area is concentrated between California Boulevard and New Mexico Avenue to the east, Ocean View Avenue and Airfield Road to the west, Lompoc-Casmalia Road to the north, and 13th Street to the south. Development and land use at Vandenberg AFB is managed by 30 CES/CECB, Base Planning.
Document Description
The proposed Permit Renewal is for the EOD Range operations at the Vandenberg Air Force Base. The EOD Range receives unexploded propellant, explosive, and pyrotechnic (PEP) materials. These materials include obsolete ordnance, explosive waste from training operations, materials with an expired shelf life, or explosive waste discovered on base. The PEP materials are detonated in the open at the site, which has been used for this purpose since 1945. Detonations are conducted at a point approximately in the center of the graded area. The EOD Range operations are regulated under the RCRA Part B Permit. In order to allow maximum flexibility for range operations, the previous permit specifies a maximum of 250 pounds of cased (fragment-producing) explosive per detonation, or 500 pounds of non-fragmented-producing explosive per day, or 1,500 pounds of explosive per month, or 8,000 pounds of explosive per year.
