Class III Cultural Resources Survey in Support of a Proposed Fiber Optics Line From the Tolicha Peak Compound to Black Mountain, Nevada Test and Training Range, Nye County, Nevada

Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Lonnie C. Pippin

Year: 2010

Summary

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) proposes to install a 10.6 mile (17.1 km) long fiber optic line between the Tolicha Peak Compound and the top of Black Mountain (Figures 1 and 2). The proposed route was chosen to coincide with corridors of existing utility lines and other disturbance, as much as possible, in order to minimize potential effects to the overall environment and to known historic properties. All but 0.4 miles (1 acre) of the 10.2 miles follows previously-disturbed and previously-surveyed rights-of-way. The 0.4 mile undisturbed portion is a deviation from the existing corridor. The Desert Research Institute conducted a Class III survey along that proposed deviation and found no cultural resources.
