What are the Next Steps? The Air Forces schedule of events for this project is to complete an Environmental Impact Study by November 1980 to justify the withdrawal of public lands in Utah and Nevada. Proceedings to begin the withdrawal process are anticipated to begin early in 1981. Information provided by the Utah MX Coordination Office, (801) 364-964- The proposed MX system can briefly be described as a complex arrangement of missile shelters, scattered over many thousands of miles of sparsely populated land in Utah and Nevada, that house 200 newer missiles. Each missile has 23 different shelters in which it can locate, thereby providing some uncertainty to prevent detection. This method of basing the missile has produced much controversy and will be a central point of the debate. Here are a few potential impacts: Population in the two state area is expected to increase by approximately 105,000 people in 1987. This would include both direct and indirect workers plus their dependents. The permanent population is expected to level out at about 57,000 people in 1992 following construction. The amount of water presently estimated for the project peaks out at 30,000 acre feet in 1987 and levels out at 13,000 acre feet in 1993.
