Technical Area 72 Expedited Vehicle Inspection Lane Project Floodplain Statement of Findings
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is proposing new construction in lower Sandia Canyon at Technical Area (TA) 72 at the Guard Post 10 vehicle inspection station at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The proposed project is intended to provide expedited inspection times for vehicles transporting time sensitive loads, such as concrete and asphalt. The project activities within the 100-year floodplain include installation of 1) installation of an expedited vehicle inspection lane, 2) relocation of a 4-strand wire fence, 3) possible relocation of at least one power pole, and 4) a laydown area. Based on the Technical Area 72 Expedited Vehicle Inspection Lane Project Floodplain Assessment, NNSA is issuing this Floodplain Statement of Findings.
