This report presents the results of Phase II NRHP eligibility testing of nine archaeological sites at JB MDL. Fieldwork was conducted between March 15 and May 22, 2021, and between September 26 and October 14, 2022. The sites included one historical component, five with prehistoric components, and three with both historical and prehistoric components. Of these, five have site components that are recommended eligible for inclusion in the NRHP (28BU637, 28BU673, 28BU675, 28BU691, and 28BU1007) and four had limited artifact assemblages or lacked the necessary integrity to convey significance and were recommended not eligible (28BU522, 28BU638, 28BU639, and 28OC149/151). Two previously documented potential archaeological locations, UDS-18 and UDS-19 were also surveyed during this investigation and found to be recent military era excavations.

HABS/HAER Level II documentation of McGuire BOMARC-SAGE Historic District Building 1909, the SAGE Cooling Tower. Building 1909 was a rein-forced concrete facility constructed in 1956. The documentation includes a historic report, photograph contact sheets of the facility, and architectural drawings.

A Management Plan (Volume 1) and a Condition Assessment (Vollume II) for the Lighter-Than-Air Historic District conducted on behalf of the United States Air Force at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington and Ocean Counties, New Jersey. The management plan aids Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in managing the historic properties under its jurisdiction as required by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The Lighter-Than- Air Historic District is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places for its for its significance in the U.S.Navy's air transportation history involving the early development and use of both rigid and non-rigid airships. The district is comprised of 70 contributing and 14 non-contributing resources. The period of significance is 1921 to 1962. This study verified the districts boundaries and found that the district remains largely intact. The original buildings, site planning, and landscape retain a high level of integrity. The district's architectural character is strengthened by the absence of intrusive modem construction. Overall, the district buildings are well maintained and remain functional; however, the report identifies concerns about modem building materials and inconsistent maintenance practices. The cunent management practices were reviewed, and this report presents management recommendations for the district's pivotal, contributing, and non-contributing buildings. The condition assessment of the buildings in the district supports the recommendations in the management plan.

This report presents the results of Phase I archaeological survey within 2,400 acres and Phase II NRHP eligibility testing of eight archaeological sites by Versar, Inc. at JB MDL. Fieldwork was conducted between April 22 and December 22, 2019. In total, 1,472 shovel tests were excavated during the current investigation: 1,237 shovel tests within block shovel test areas and 235 shovel tests within point survey areas. Seven previously unrecorded sites were documented: one prehistoric, three historical, and three with both historical and prehistoric components. The prehistoric site components consisted of one Early Woodland, one indeterminate Woodland, and one indeterminate occupation. The historical sites dated between the late-eighteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. Three of the newly recorded sites were recommended eligible for inclusion in the NRHP (28BU967, 28BU968, and 28BU970), and four were recommended not eligible (28BU969, 28BU971, 28BU972, and 28BU973). Eight previously recorded sites were evaluated for NRHP eligibility. Of these, six prehistoric sites (or the prehistoric components of the sites) evaluated were recommended eligible for inclusion in the NRHP (28BU517, 28BU519/530, 28BU528, 28BU634, and 28BU636). None of the historical site components (28BU517, 28BU519/530, and 28BU528) were recommended eligible.

338 architectural resources were documented. No surveyed resources were identified that had meaningful associations with significant PCWE historical themes, events, or persons and do not possess exceptional importance under criterion consideration G.
