Mothballing Plan for Facility 37501 at Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico

Summary

Facility 37501 is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The plan aids Kirtland AFB in managing the historic properties under its jurisdiction, as required by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Guided by the National Park Service Preservation Brief 31, Mothballing Historic Buildings (Park 1993), Argonne prepared the mothballing plan to protect the structure’s character-defining features and building materials over a long period of time while the building is deactivated within Manzano Base. The plan documents the building’s historic background and describes its structural features, architectural elements, modifications, construction materials, and interior spaces. The mothballing plan’s protective measures include a general assessment of Facility 37501’s current interior and exterior condition and related maintenance concerns. The mothballing plan identifies recommended repairs and treatments to stabilize building components prior to mothballing and to prevent material degradation or structural decline while Facility 37501 is mothballed. The mothballing plan also includes a checklist for installation personnel that includes prioritized steps to repair, stabilize, and protect Facility 37501 before the building is mothballed, and an inspection and maintenance schedule and a checklist for personnel to use when monitoring the exterior and interior condition of the vacant building.
