Book Description
This document assesses the potential environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives pertaining to the 351 MW at Whiteman AFB. The cumulative impacts of the proposed action and alternatives in conjunction with the transfer of the 442nd Fighter Wing from Richards-Gebaur AFB, Missouri, and the basing of the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman AFB were also assessed. Potential environmental impacts to the following resource categories were considered in this FEIS: air quality; geological resources; water resources; biological resources; cultural, archaeological, and paleontological resources; health and safety; hazardous materials/waste and solid waste; noise; transportation; and socioeconomics. Possible mitigation measures are presented to rehabilitate or restore the affected environment, or to lessen a significant impact.

Book Description
Whiteman Air Force Base is located two miles south of Knob Noster. The base was activated following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, becoming Sedalia Army Air Field in November 1942 to train glider pilots and paratroopers. In August 1951, the base was assigned to the Strategic Air Command, with the 340th Bombardment Wing flying the Boeing B-47 Stratojet bomber and KC-97 tanker. The base was renamed in honor of 2nd Lt. George Whiteman, US Army Air Corps, who was killed in his P-40 by a Japanese Zero during the attack on Pearl Harbor. In June 1961, the Department of Defense chose Whiteman to host the nation's fourth Minuteman ICBM wing, with 150 missiles. Before completion of the missile field contraction, SAC activated the 351st Strategic Missile Wing on February 1, 1963. The missile wing made history when it fielded the first female missile crew. In 1990, the base became part of history with the activation of the 509th Bomb Wing flying the Northrop B-2 "Stealth" Spirit bomber. Throughout its continuous military presence, since 1942, the base has always been at the forefront of national defense, especially now with the B-2 able to strike any target in the world at any time.
