Floodplain Assessment for the Primary Circuit Extension from TA-36 to TA-68; Los Alamos National Laboratory

The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration’s Los Alamos Field Office (DOE/NNSA) prepared a Floodplain Assessment for the Los Alamos National Laboratory Primary Circuit Extension from TA-36 to TA-68. DOE/NNSA proposes to construct approximately 1 mile of a 13.8 kilovolt 2-pole electrical power distribution line from Technical Area (TA)-36, southeast across the Fence Canyon and Water Canyon 100-year floodplains to the TA-68 Water Canyon Test Site. The Water Canyon Test site supports mission critical programs that respond to current and emerging threats by providing the capabilities for the research, development, and equipment calibration for imaging techniques to detect materials of interest.
