It is not practically feasible to place antennas at any location in our science preserve. Topographic constraints cause large areas of the science preserve to be undesirable for antenna placement, due to the cost of putting antennas in those locations. In addition, the existing pipelines and roads provide further constraints for possible antenna locations. Given the guidance of the report of the review committee from the configuration PDR (Guilloteau et al. 2001), a new antenna location mask specifying where antennas should not be placed on the preserve has been created for use by those designing the ALMA configurations, and is presented herein.
