A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of the Proposed Sandia Burn Test Facility, Tonopah Test Range, Nye County, Nevada
Summary
At the request of Sandia National Laboratory, archaeologists from the Desert Research Institute (DRI) conducted a Class III cultural resources reconnaissance for a proposed bum test facility on the Tonopah Test Range (TTR) on Department of Energy (DOE) administered lands. The project area is located along an existing dirt road approximately 5.5 km (3.4 mi) south-southeast of the Sandia Compound. The planned facility consists of a 20 m (62 ft) diameter bum pit, a fuel tank yard, and a 6 m (20 ft) wide by 730 m (2,400 ft) long underground utility/pipeline corridor connecting the pit and the tank yard. No archaeological sites were found during the Class III reconnaissance. Therefore DRl recommends that the project proceed as planned.
