description: Statistical Research, Inc., assisted the Southern Nevada Water Authority by providing the environmental analysis needed to comply with the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Southern Nevada Water Authority proposed to construct and operate a new water-treatment and transmission facility to supply additional Colorado River water from Lake Mead to the Las Vegas Valley. The project is located entirely within Clark County, Nevada, and comprises four primary components: a raw water intake structure in Lake Mead; a water-treatment facility; a water-transmission system consisting of underground pipelines and above ground pumping equipment to deliver water from Lake Mead to the water-treatment facility; and a water-distribution system to deliver treated water from the treatment facility to areas throughout the Las Vegas Valley. This report presents data on the environment of the Las Vegas Valley as well as discussing significant changes that have occurred in the environment since the Late Pleistocene (ca. 12,000 years before present [B.P.]) and provides a culture-historical overview of the prehistory and protohistory of the region, as well as a brief discussion of Native American groups that have an ethnographic presence in the region. Each proposed alternative is described with regard to the extent of previous archaeological surveys that have been undertaken along or near the corridor, and the diversity, frequency, and significance of sites contained therein.
