Prepared for: Department of Defense, NAWS, China Lake

October, 2003

Eighteen selected military installations in the western continental United States were assessed for utility-grade geothermal potential, and over 100 military facilities in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California, Alaska, and Hawaii were assessed for direct-use geothermal potential.

Work was conducted pursuant to Department of Defense Contract No. N68936-02-R-0236 by Innovative Technical Solutions, Inc., between December, 2002, and July, 2003.

Data acquired to perform this investigation were drawn largely from available literature. Reconnaissance field work also was performed on three selected installations: NAF El Centro, California: Mountain Home AFB, Idaho; and White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.
