Helicopter lifts truck off of ALE

A helicopter relocates an aged vehicle from the side of Rattlesnake Mountain to the lower Arid Lands Ecology Reserve. The helicopter allowed CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company to remove the truck from the mountainside while reducing risks to workers and impacts to the culturally sensitive area. The vehicle was located in a steep ravine where it would be very difficult for workers and heavy equipment to access, size reduce and haul out the debris.
