Year: 1998

Summary

The Desert Research Institute (DRI) was requested by the Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office (DOE/NV) to conduct a cultural resources reconnaissance of the proposed underground test area (UGTA) subproject well 1 pad, borrow pit and access road on the Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR) EC South. The DOE/NV through its UGTA project, is proposing to conduct a well drilling campaign to characterize the area between western Pahute Mesa and Oasis Valley. The data acquired will assist the DOE/NV to understand and model the hydrogeologic regime underlying Pahute Mesa. No sites were located by this reconnaissance and only one isolated artifact was within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) (Figure 2). Therefore DRI recommends that the project proceed as planned.
