Title: Test site gains contaminated land
Author: Keith Rogers
----- Begin excerpt ----
The Department of Energy made it official Wednesday: the Nevada Test Site
has grown by nearly 200 square miles thanks to some surface contamination
from a 1968 nuclear test and President Clinton's signature on a law this
year.
The new law, according to an Energy Department statement, also serves to
"correct several land use and jurisdiction misalignments throughout the
complex." That means the Air Force takes control over DOE's rectangle
around Groom Lake, along the northeastern corner of the test site, which
had been controlled by the Air Force under a secret agreement.
The location, also known as Area 51 - the site of at least one classified
airstrip - has been shown on government maps as a 38,400-acre rectangle
primarily in Lincoln County that belonged to the Department of Energy but
was controlled by the Air Force and had not been shown by DOE as part of
the Nevada Test Site.
The "misalignments," according to the Energy Department's statement, "had
become outdated and inefficient because of evolving mission needs among the
Department of Energy and Department of Defense.
