Los Alamos National Laboratory Floodplain Assessment for the West Road Maintenance Project
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is proposing to take action at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and do maintenance on West Road at locations along its entirety from the intersection with West Jemez Road/New Mexico State Road 501 (NM 501) to the intersection with Dulce Street through Los Alamos Canyon. The proposed West Road Maintenance Project is intended to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety on West Road by reducing traffic hazards associated with poor road conditions and unsafe roadside parking. Proposed road maintenance and improvement activities throughout the length of West Road include asphalt milling and resurfacing of approximately 2.06 miles (mi.) of the road. West Road crosses approximately 0.35 mi. (1,900 feet (ft.)) of the Los Alamos Canyon floodplain at the bottom of Los Alamos Canyon. Project activities within the floodplain include: 1) mill and resurface the roadway, 2) replace existing guardrails, 3) block access to the informal roadside parking along either side of West Road in Los Alamos Canyon, 4) install trail signage and perform trail maintenance, and 5) restore habitat and reduce wildland fire risk through invasive species removal.
