Description:
An aged vehicle rests on Rattlesnake Mountain at the upper Arid Lands Ecology Reserve at the Hanford Site. The vehicle rolled from the upper ALE Reserve in the 1970s; the cause of the roll is unknown but no one was injured. Due to the steep, uneven terrain of the mountainside, CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company removed the vehicle using a helicopter to reduce worker and environmental risks. The vehicle is located in a culturally sensitive area, in a steep ravine where it would have been very difficult for workers and heavy equipment to access.
