CULTURAL RESOURCES (CR) ISSUES
CR‐1: There are culturally significant sites on and around Florence Military
Reservation.
Location:
Florence Military Reservation
There are a large number of culturally significant sites located on the Florence
Military Reservation and in the surrounding region. The AZARNG embraces its
stewardship responsibilities and protects sites that have been identified on land they
own or lease. Future development, recreation, and other land uses around Florence
Military Reservation may damage sites that are not within the installation’s boundary.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
CR‐1A: Continue coordination with tribal governments and the State Historic
Preservation Office regarding cultural resources. Primary Party:
The AZARNG should continue to consult with affiliated Native American tribal
authorities and the State Historic Preservation Office when previously unknown
cultural resources are identified at Florence Military Reservation. Partners:

DUST / SMOKE / STEAM (DSS) ISSUES
DSS‐1: Activities at Florence Military Reservation sometimes generate dust.
Location:
Due to the desert landscape at Florence Military Reservation, dust is sometimes
generated from military operations such as vehicle maneuvering and weapons firing
on ranges and has caused some concerns for nearby residents. Dust could become a
larger concern if future development occurs closer to Florence Military Reservation,
or if there is an increase in regulatory oversight that requires the minimization of dust
emissions.

RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
DSS‐1A: Inform local community of potential high dust activities. Primary Party:
To ensure the public is informed and can take the necessary precautions to protect
health and property, employ outreach tools and methods such as public relations
officers, public service announcements, and websites to inform the general public
when and where high dust activities are planned.
