Hawthorne Army Depot This "website" contains individual site summaries of approximately 123 contaminated areas located on the Hawthorne Army Depot in central Nevada. The website was developed by the State of Nevada, in cooperation with the U.S. Army and there contractors.
The Army Depot is located in Mineral County Nevada approximately 135 miles southeast of Reno and is contiguous to, and surrounds the 
community of Hawthorne, Nevada (Site Map). Hawthorne has a resident population of about 4,000 people. Both the community of Hawthorne and the Depot are located next to Walker Lake (Walker Lake is a unique desert lake -- it is one of only five relatively fresh, deep water desert lakes in the world supporting a substantial fishery).
The depot covers an area of approximately 150,000 acres, its mission is to receive, issue, store renovate, inspect, demilitarize and dispose of conventional ammunition. The Depot contains over 2,600 buildings or structures, of which 2,200 are explosive storage magazines. It is considered the largest conventional munitions depot in the western hemisphere, if not the entire world. Online LTS Management Information: Each "webpage" for the 123 contaminated sites at the Depot presents a discussion of the contaminants of concern, the type of scientific investigations conducted to date, and a proposed planning process for completing site remediation activities. A "clickable" photo is available for most sites. As sites are closed, or otherwise determined to require no further remedial action, The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection will amend each individual site summary as appropriate. This recordation process will serve to document the long-term stewardship decisions and responsibilities at the Depot. National Park Service Restoration Projects by Park Name This website provides information and examples of restoration projects in the National Park system. As of 12/2000 eight individual site are described in detail. Along with site descriptions and "Management Concerns", maps and photographs are also provided for most sites.
