Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Timothy W. Canaday; Buck

Year: 1992

Summary

The work described in this report was initiated in response to a request from the Yucca Mountain Project Office dated April 8, 1991 to conduct a pre activity survey for United States Geological survey {USGS) Flood Chasing Activity (91-017a). A cultural resources reconnaissance of approximately 196 miles of wash bottoms to be accessed by the USGS using all-terrain vehicles (ATV's) was requested. The USGS proposes to travel up the washes during and after precipitation events in order to determine where overland flow occurs. In order to assess the impact of these activities on cultural resources, Desert Research Institute (DRI) began a systematic survey of the wash bottoms and their immediate vicinity on June 24 , 1991.
