Physical al Saf afety I Inventory

  • BLM office in Elko, NV requested assistance

to validate 61 features presenting potential safety hazards

–AML features were located on steep/unstable slopes that would require significant safety gear, rappelling, etc.

  • Pilots mobilized within a few weeks (based
  • n their availability)

Physical al Saf afety I Inventory

  • 61 physical safety features assessed

–Eliminated 28 from further evaluation

  • Shadows presented difficulties in elimination

–Could not determine whether they were hazardous –However, imagery provided an idea of what to expect

  • Identified several other features in the vicinity that

were not in known inventory
