Sand Creek Massacre National Historical Site Acoustical Monitoring Snapshot

2009. Sand Creek Massacre National Historical Site Acoustical Monitoring Snapshot. National Park Service

In 2009, the Natural Sounds Program (NSP) received a request to collect baseline acoustical data at Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site (SAND). During the months of July and August, 2009, one acoustic monitoring system was deployed for 45 days. The baseline data collected during this period will help park managers, planners, and tribal representatives develop desired conditions for soundscapes in the park’s first general management plan (GMP). Data will also inform decision makers about the potential impacts of noise from military jets during the Colorado Air National Guard's (COANG) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process for the proposed expansion of the Cheyenne Military Operations Area.
