Action Information

Action Date Action Description DEC Staff
4/15/2000 Site Added to Database Ordnance or ordnance-related problems. Elim Yoon
4/15/2000 Update or Other Action The Level I Screen is a framework intended to facilitate somewhat objective evaluation of subjective issues and information. The screen considers the ordnance characteristics of the site (i.e., type of ordnance and density) along with physical characteristics of the site (i.e., terrain and vegetation) to determine the qualitative risk associated and the general category of future action that may be needed at the site to minimize that risk (i.e., additional investigation, remedial action, or no action). The screen also incorporates evaluation of the strength of evidence upon which screening decisions are made to ensure that there is reasonable supporting data for the choices made at this stage of the process. Elim Yoon
6/2/2004 Update or Other Action RI/FS completed for site in 2001. Site is outside of military reservation on DOI land and is therefore considered a FUDS. Site transfered to the ACOE for remediation. Jason Weigle
10/19/2004 GIS Position Updated Latitude and Longitude was derived using ArcGIS with either High Resolution Aerial Photography from the Navy with an up to 3 meters error, or line maps used in investigations combined with road layers, +/-25 feet accuracy.  Metadata is as follows: Updated NAD 1983 State Plane Alaska 10 FIPS 5010 Feet; Projection: Lambert Conformal Conic; False Easting: 3280833.333333; False Northing: 0.000000; Central Meridian: -176.000000; Standard Parallel 1: 51.833333; Standard Parallel 2: 53.833333; Latitude of Origin: 51.000000; GCS North American 1983. Jason Weigle
3/7/2005 Update or Other Action Added MRTS data, derived from ADNR and USGS range, township, and section data overlaid on lat/lon coordinates derived previously. Accuracy is equivalent to the lat/lon coordinates. MRTS information depicts the center point of range fans and target areas; actual target areas or fans may overlap several sections. Jason Weigle
1/19/2006 Update or Other Action File number issued 2501.38.009.01. Aggie Blandford
