Summary

As part of Yucca Mountain site Characterization activities, the Department of Energy plans to drill as many as 30 neutron bore holes at locations near Yucca Mountain. As of March 1992, 16 locations had been chosen and field staked by the project Principal Investigator (Figures 1 & 2). Most of the locations are in areas previously surveyed for cultural resources, and based on records searches 10 locations were cleared without cultural resources reconnaissance, Personnel from the Desert Research Institute (DR) conducted a Class III archaeological reconnaissance at 6 locations. No cultural resources were found. It is recommended that the activity proceed as scheduled.
