Summary

The U. S. Air Force (USAF) proposes to develop and use 30 new electronic system pads on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), Nye County, Nevada (Figures 1 and 2, also see project maps in Appendix A and project overview photographs in Appendix B). These pads, which average about 1.5 ha (3.7 acres) in size, wIII be used to temporarily park mobile electronic systems during test and training missions and these systems wIII be moved on and off the pads between missions. No additional utilities or utility lines will be required for any of the pads. Eleven of the proposed pads (Pads 5, 12, 13, 16, 19, 20, 21, 24, 26, 27, and 28) wIII require the construction of approximately 0.3 km (1000 ft) long access roads from the nearest existing road, but the remaining pads wIII be placed adjacent to existing roads.
