The resource document was produced in response to the preparation of an LEIS for the Nellis Air Force Range Renewal, Nevada. The consultation focused specifically on the proposed action and alternatives concerning the future renewal of the NAFR. However, the present CGTO's response to this consultation is not limited to the LEIS, but also integrates relevant recommendations and insights made by Indian people based on previous and existing federal projects in which American Indians participated.

Nellis Air Force Base (NAFB), 98th Range Wing (99 RANS) proposes construction of a Predator training target within drainages and on two terraces on Mercury Ridge in the Spotted Range. No access is required. The archaeologist and biologist were shuttled by helicopter to the location for their inventories. The helicopter landed in the center of the APE, shown on Maps 1-4 where three small, modular buildings and six inoperative vehicles are proposed to be carried by helicopter and placed in the...

Silver Flag Alpha, attached to the Indian Springs Auxiliary Airfield, South Range, is used for weapons training. A target area of about three areas is located north of the main bladed road. The training command requests an expansion of three plus acres adjacent to the north of the present target area. Access is present. Five acres were surveyed to encompass a 2-acre buffer for three acres, thus, the APE was expanded.

The Indian Springs Landfill Expansion project required the survey of an approximate 128 x 128 area, incorporating 16,388 m2 (4 acres). On 12 February 1991, the survey was completed by two archaeologists walking parallel linear transects at 20 m intervals. Kathleen Bergin served as Principal Investigator and Project Archaeologist; Anne DuBarton provided survey suppon. A single archaeological property was encountered during the survey--an aboriginal hearth feature.

The 99th Range Wing has proposed an upgrade to Training Ranges 6 and 6A at the Silver Flag Alpha facilities 15 miles southeast of Indian Springs and Creech Air Force Base, Clark County, Nevada. The Area of Potential Effect is 45 acres. The location is shown in Maps 1 and 3. The upgrade would consist of excavating trenches, depicted in Feature 1, within the current boundaries of Ranges 6 and 6A. The APE has been used for small arms training for decades, thus unexploded ordnance remains. The...

The Treatment Plan identified three research issues as vital for adequate scientific understanding of the prehistory and paleoenvironments of Pintwater Cave and the vicinity: (1) the meaning of variability seen in southern Nevada dart points; ( 2) local effects of climatic variability on human occupation; and (3) Archaic period subsistence. Report comments attached.

Field studies for geomorphology, paleoenvironment, paleohydrology, plant ecology, and isotope geology were conducted at Stonewall Mountain and Stonewall Flat during the spring and summer of 2010 in support of Nellis AFB archaeological and ethnographic studies of the Stonewall Mountain region. These studies revealed natural resources for water, shelter, lithic tools, sulfur, and certain earth pigments exist at Stonewall Mountain and the Goldfield Hills. The playa in Stonewall Flat hosted a robust...
