A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance for a Proposed System Site, Powerline and Access Road at P-68 and a Fiber Optic Line Between P-68 and the P-71 Facility, Nellis Air Force Range, Nye County, Nevada

Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Susan Edwards

Year: 1997

Summary

The U.S. Air Force proposes to erect an electronic system site P-68 in the northern portion of Kawich Valley on Nellis Range 4807. Plans also include construction of an above ground powerline and a graded access road extending from the existing paved Gold Reed Road to the P-68 facility and the emplacement of a fiber optic line between P-68 and the existing P-71 facility. The P-68 facility will occupy two graded pads on the top of Rhyolite Knob. An access road and overhead powerline will lead from the facility to Gold Reed Road 2 km (1.2 mi) to the east. Finally, a 7.2 km (4.47 mi) long underground fiber optic line will be laid between P-68 and the P-71 facility. The fiber optic line will parallel existing roads and the P-68 access road. Activities associated with the construction of the system facility, access road, and utility lines have the potential to disturb any cultural resources located within the proposed project areas.
