description: An archaeological survey of approximately 3.4 acres of property situated on Sandia National Laboratories, Kirtland Air Force Base, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, yielded no cultural resources. The project area is being utilized for construction of a Radioactive Mixed Waste Facility (Building 6920). The entire construction site has been severely disturbed by blading and leveling, and as of the survey date the building was approximately 95% completed. No artifacts or cultural features were observed within the 3.4 acre facility site. Two previous intensive cultural resource surveys which came as close as 46 m (150 ft) to the south and 305 m (1,000 ft) to the east of this construction site, tend to support this observation. Neither survey located any historic or prehistoric sites within the vicinity. Due to the project location and previous disturbance, cultural resource clearance is recommended for completion of the Radioactive Mixed Waste Facility and associated infrastructures.
