Environmental Assessment for the Saline Valley Radar Facility Project Saline Valley, California
Abstract
The environmental assessment (EA) analyzed the potential environmental impacts of a proposed beacon radar facility and an associated microwave repeater in the Saline Valley area in east central California. The proposed project consists of (1) a beacon radar with support and communications equipment, to be located at the McElvoy Canyon site and (2) a microwave repeater site on the Galena Ridge. The No Action (status quo) alternative was also addressed. The Saline Valley is located in the west-central portion of Inyo County, California, east of Owens Lake. Part of the Saline Valley lies in the western portion of Death Valley National Park. A microwave repeater will be required for any of the five beacon radar facility alternatives.
