Description
The Tonopah Test Range is located about 140 air miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, and covers 624 square miles within the Nellis Air Force Base Bombing and Gunnery Range. The range is used for various USDOE and USDOD program tests that are critical to national defense. Activities that affect the environment are mainly road construction, preparation of instrumentation sites, and disturbance of the terrain from weapons testing.

EPA monitoring results for 1986 indicate that test range operations do not adversely affect the off-site environment or the public
