BLM-NV Selects GeomorphIS Team for West Wendover Conveyance Project

The US Bureau of Land Management, Elko District Office, selected the GeomorphIS/G2 Archaeology/USWR team to prepare a historic properties treatment plan (HPTP) for five eligible cultural sites, both prehistoric and historic, within the proposed West Wendover Conveyance Project area, which lies directly south of the City of West Wendover, Nevada. The sites are located on land withdrawn from public domain for the Department of Defense Hill Air Force Base and is within the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) Nevada extension. The HPTP will be used to partially fulfill the Air Force and BLM’s obligation under Title 54 U.S.C. §300101,   seq., commonly known as the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA), and Title 54 U.S.C. §306108, commonly known as Section 106 of the NHPA (Section 106), Nevada State Protocol Agreement (Protocol), the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
