Access to the sites will be along a newly constructed...
Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for the Proposed P-70 Facility and Utility Lines, Tonopah Test Range, Nye County, Nevada (1996)
Based on previous studies in the vicinity of P70, it was anticipated that the area may contain prehistoric and/or historic age remains, but that these remains should not be very large or complex. The prehistoric remains may relate to a small scatter of four lithic artifacts (26NY9350) that were identified along an ephemeral drainage approximately 0.9 km (0.5 miles) northeast of the project area or to a pattern of widely separated isolated artifacts and small sites that tend to characterize this...
A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for the Proposed P-80c System Site and Associated Underground Utility Lines and the P-80 to P-20 Fiber Optic Line Tonopah Test Range, Nye County, Nevada (1997)
Both project areas were inspected for cultural resources by pedestrian transects covering a 30 m (100 ft) interval with the exception of the southern end of the P-80 to P-20 fiber line and northern two-thirds of the P-80c utility corridor. These areas had been previously examined for cultural properties during the P-80 facility survey.
A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for the Proposed Placement of a Watering Trough on the Nellis Air Force Base, Nye County, Nevada (1990)
The Nellis Air Force Base proposes to develop Cliff Spring and place a semi-permanent to permanent water source for wild horses approximately one kilometer south-west of Cliff Spring. The placement of this new watering station is not covered under the data recovery plan for the mitigation of effects on the Cliff Spring Site, 26Ny377 (Rhode and Amick 1990), and also was not covered under previous surveys conducted by ORI (Rhode 1989). Consequently, a cultural resource survey was conducted to...
Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for the Proposed TPK-38 Facility, Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range, Nye County, Nevada (1996)
The U.S. Air Force proposes to construct a 60 x 60 m (200 x 200 ft) facility pad, designated TPK-38, on the Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range (TPECR) to house the existing S13 radar unit now located at TPK-6 (Figure 1). The moving of this unit is necessary because of the congestion around the existing TPK-6 facility pad due to the recent construction of TPK-40 (see Drollinger 1995, Pippin 1995b). Two alternative locations have been proposed for the TPK-38 facility pad.
A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for the Site 4 Fencing Project Nevada Test and Training Range, Lincoln County, Nevada (2003)
The U. S. Air Force proposes to erect four, one mile long (1,609 m), sections offence along either side of two planned automated gates on the main access roads leading to Site 4 on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). Three of these fence sections are proposed to be placed in the previous disturbed rights-of-way of the existing access roads (Figures 1,2 and 3). Because these fence sections will be placed in previously disturbed areas, they will have no effect on any known historic...

The length of this line is approximately 5 km (3.5 miles) and its proposed route parallels an existing improved gravel road for about 3. 7 km of that distance. The remaining portion of the line follows an unimproved dirt road. The proposed route was surveyed for cultural resources by a single pedestrian transect (30 m; 100 ft wide) along the...
A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of a Proposed Fiber Optic System for Tolicha Peak, Nellis Air Force Range, Nye County, Nevada (1995)
The investigation recorded 25 archaeological sites and 14 isolated artifacts. Eight of the sites are recommended to be considered eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The routes of the fiber lines and facility locations would be changed to avoid each of these sites, or placed in already disturbed areas within the sites. In this manner potential adverse effects from construction activities to these historic properties would be avoided.
