Unknown, but estimated to be in the mid-1990s. The identifier and name suggest this was a temporary facility rather than a permanent, registered airport. It was likely decommissioned upon completion of the project it was built to support.
The heliport was almost certainly a temporary, private landing zone established for a specific, large-scale construction project. The most likely candidate is the nearby Clover Power Station, which was constructed in the early 1990s and became operational in 1995-1996. The closure was a planned decommissioning after the project's completion, as the landing zone was no longer required.
The site at the given coordinates is undeveloped rural land, primarily consisting of woods and fields. Satellite imagery shows no visible remnants of a heliport, landing pad, or any related aviation infrastructure. The area is adjacent to the Clover Power Station and a large solar farm.
This was not a public airport and holds no official historical significance in aviation. Its purpose was purely logistical. It was likely used by heavy-lift helicopters (e.g., Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane) to transport and place large or heavy components during the construction of the power station. It did not handle any public, commercial, or general aviation operations. The identifier 'US-10770' is not an official ICAO code but a designation used by third-party data aggregators for unlisted or defunct airfields.
There are zero plans or prospects for reopening. The site was temporary by nature, has been fully reclaimed by the natural landscape, and has no remaining infrastructure. There is no official record of it as a registered airport, and no demand for its re-establishment.
