PROJECT INFORMATION: The former Nebraska Ordnance Plant (NOP) site occupies approximately 17,250 acres located one- half mile south of the town of Mead, in Saunders County, Nebraska. During World War II and the Korean Conflict, bombs, shells, and rockets were assembled at the site. The site includes four load lines, where bombs, shells, and rockets were assembled; the Burning/Proving Grounds, where fuses were tested and materials were destroyed by burning; a Bomb Booster Assembly Area, where boosters that amplify the effect of the detonators were assembled; an Air Force Ballistic Missile Division Technical Area, where historical information suggests that parts were cleaned; and an Atlas Missile Area. Other projects could entail work at Installation Restoration Program Sites such as Army Ammunition Plants and military installations, EPA Superfund Sites, Formerly Used Defense Sites, and sites owned by other government agencies. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: Selection criteria is listed in order of importance. Items (a) through (d) are the primary selection criteria and items (e) through (g) will be used as tie-breakers. a.
