A Class III Cultural Resources Reconnaissance of the Proposed Expansion of an Explosive Shipping and Receiving Area on the Tonopah Test Range, Nye County, Nevada

Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): Janis Klimowicz

Year: 1990

Summary

A preactivity survey of the proposed expansion of the Sandia National Laboratories explosive shipping and receiving building in area 9 was conducted. This survey was requested to identify any cultural resources that may exist in the proposed expansion area, and to evaluate the potential for adverse effects to those cultural resources resulting from the developmental activities. The area had not been previously surveyed for cultural materials, so the area was subject to a cultural resources reconnaissance. The proposed area within the security fence was examined and it was determined that this area had been previously disturbed and no further reconnaissance would be necessary. An area outside and adjacent to the security fence which is undisturbed will also be impacted by the construction. A survey of this area revealed cultural resources.
