Artist rendering of part of the Live-Fire Training Range Complex. Construction on the plateau is not scheduled until fiscal year 2019. Full use of the machine gun range depicted in the rendering is not expected until the summer of 2024. There are some very important historic properties located at the base of the cliff at the USFWS wildlife refuge. There will be no direct impacts from range construction in these areas. The range is proposed to be constructed on the plateau at Northwest Field 600 feet above the wildlife refuge. Although this area was heavily disturbed during WWII the Navy identified some interesting archaeological sites during intensive archaeological surveys and excavations. Evidence from these archaeological investigations indicates the northern plateau was used throughout the latte period to collect and process resources to take to the coastal villages. There is no evidence of permanent pre-contact residences within the boundaries of the Live-Fire Training Range Complex.
