Los Alamos National Laboratory Floodplain Statement of Findings for the Technical Area 72 Outdoor Live Fire Range Gate Installation Project
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has issued a Floodplain Statement of Findings for proposed new construction in lower Sandia Canyon at Technical Area (TA) 72 at the Outdoor Live Fire Range facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The proposed upgrades are intended to improve range safety. The project activities within the 100-year floodplain include: 1) installation of three gates at the all-terrain vehicle/pedestrian walkway bridges and 2) replacement of the main entrance gate to the range with a permanent gate.
