Additional Property Attributes

The site includes an earthen runway, airplane hangar, beacon light, and electrical building. A portion of the site is also used for storage of salt/sand mixture and roadway sand by the Highway Department. Nye County Public Works completes weed removal and re-grades the runway every two to three year. In 2014, Public Works is planning to remove the World War II era beacon tower and beacon light due to safety concerns. The site has also been submitted to the Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems (NIAS) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Program Management Office for use in future unmanned aerial vehicle testing and operations.

Former Use: The subject site consists of an airport with an earthen runway, airplane hangar, beacon light, and associated electrical control buildings. Based on a review of historical sources the subject site was undeveloped prior to being developed as an airport in the mid-1940s. The subject site was listed as a closed solid waste landfill facility under the name Gabbs Airport Dump. The Phase I recommended subsurface contamination assessment and the abandonment of an on-site well by a Nevada certified driller in accordance with local and state regulations and laws.
