Summary

The Kern River 2003 Expansion Project consisted of the installation of a natural gas pipeline from near Opal, Wyoming to a terminus in the vicinity of Bakersfield, California. The project was an expansion of the existing 36-inch diameter pipeline through the construction of 717 miles of additional 36 and 42 inch pipeline loops, several new compressor stations, and modifications to existing compressor stations, meter stations and various other supporting facilities. Cultural resources along the planned pipeline expansion corridor were identified, assessed, and mitigated according to relevant historic preservation laws. Various inventory reports, treatment plans, and mitigation reports have been produced for the project in Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California. This document is one portion of the overall cultural resources mitigation report for the Utah portion of this project.

This document is Volume VI, a synthesis of previous research in the West Desert region of Utah and a summary of current research questions and issues for the area. This volume, which takes into account large- scale survey and excavation data from the region, is designed to provide an overview to previous work and to assist in the management of cultural resources by developing means of evaluating the research potential and issues for sites in the region.
