Phase 1 Environmental Baseline Survey for Leasing Nellis Air Force Base Land for Construction and Maintenance of a Stormwater Detention System and Relocation of Military Family Housing Clark County, Nevada
Abstract
This Phase I Environmental Baseline Survey report was prepared to support the proposed lease of 35 acres within an approximately 86-acre tract (hereafter referred to as subject property) owned by Nellis Air Force Base (AFB) to a contractor for the construction and operation of a Stormwater Detention System (SDS) and relocation of Military Family Housing (MFH). Easements for stormwater channels will also be granted. The SDS will be used as a primary flood control detention system for the proposed improvements to the Manch Manor base housing project. The property in consideration is a portion of Area III, and is located near the northwestern boundary of Nellis AFB, Clark County, Nevada (see Figures 1 and 2, Appendix B). This report was prepared and the site reconnaissance was conducted according to Air Force Instruction 32-7066: Environmental Baseline Surveys in Real Estate Transactions and the American Society for Testing and Materials guidelines ASTM E1527-05 which define good commercial and customary practices in the United States for conducting an environmental site assessment of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 USC 9601). According to information gathered from document searches, interviews, and the site reconnaissance, Gulf South Research Corporation (GSRC) found no evidence of contamination in connection with the subject property and found no evidence of contamination on adjacent properties. GSRC recommends that solid waste scattered throughout the subject property should be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and Federal regulations and the Nellis AFB Solid Waste Management Plan. GSRC recommends that no further environmental studies be conducted for the property.
