2002 Airborne Geophysical Survey at Pueblo of Isleta Bombing Targets, New Mexico, April 10 May 6, 2002 (Rev 1)

Abstract

This report describes the results of a low altitude helicopter geophysical survey performed by US Army Engineering Support Center, Huntsville (USAESCH) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) over areas contaminated by unexploded ordnance on Pueblo of Isleta Nation lands in April/May, 2002. The purpose of the survey was to evaluate improvements to a multi-sensor magnetometry system for ordnance detection. Surveys were carried out at three areas designated S-01, S-02, and S-07 on the Pueblo of Isleta where the Department of Defense previously had conducted bombing exercises. These areas totaled over 320 hectares. In addition, a 0.03 hectare calibration grid was surveyed. The average rate of coverage for sites S-01, S-02, and S-07 was 103 ac/hr and the average survey speed was 24 m/s.
