Ground surveys of the northern and eastern portions of the Yucca Flat drainage basin on the US Department of Energy's Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada, were conducted to determine the distribution of rare plants, or species of concern. This information was needed to help DOE evaluate whether all proposed surface disturbances in the basin must be preceded by a preconstruction survey to assess possible impacts on species of concern. Fourteen areas in both bajada and mountainous habitats were surveyed between August 11 and 25, 1983. Six species of concern were found at 11 localities in mountainous terrain, but none were found on bajadas. 11 references, 7 figures.
