Technical Memorandum, Former Bombing Range near Blair Lakes Site Visit Report Final, 18 April 2013 Fort Wainwright
The report documents the findings of site visits to the target area for the Bombing Range. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation agrees with the recommendations in the report. Please advise when the Army believes they will be able to begin work to satisfy the recommendations listed below.
1) Due to the potential presence of UXO, all access to the confirmed target areas (i.e. the
general areas surrounding Areas 1 and 2) should be restricted. No permits, sales, orleases, including over-the-counter land sales, remote cabin site stakings, residential land
sales, timber sales, mining claims, and hunting permits, should be offered in the
confirmed target areas.
2) Contact DNR to identify the locations of all current homesteads, and locations permitted
for homesteads, in the east and west portions of the Former Bombing Area.
3) Contact all homesteaders in writing and conduct interviews to determine if any
individuals can provide additional information regarding previous training activities and
potential munitions hazards in the east and west Former Bombing Area.
4) Contact DNR and/or Doyon, Ltd. to determine if Doyon or other private parties currently have or are expected to receive title to any land within the east and west Former
Bombing Area.
5) Contact the Department of Fish and Game to determine if the east and west Former
Bombing Areas are used for subsistence activities (fishing, hunting and/or food
gathering).
6) The identified target areas (Areas 1 and 2) should be forwarded to a remedial
investigation.
