Survey and Evaluation of the Environmental Impact of Naval Weapons Center Activities

Abstract

The report attempts to determine what cumulative effect a major Navy base and its associated community has had on a large land area in the fragile desert biome. The study is not an environmental impact statement; but estimates the impact of all current day-to-day actions at the Naval Weapons Center (NWC), China Lake, California. The report's three major sections give: A description of the environmental setting; an inventory of residuals that affect air, water, noise, etc.; and the methodology used to evaluate environmental impact on the ecosystem receptors in the NWC vicinity.
