We make every effort to ensure the data presented here is accurate based on the best available information currently on file with DEC. It is therefore subject to change as new information becomes available. We recommend contacting the assigned project staff prior to making decisions based on this information.

Problems/Comments

Ordnance or ordnance-related problems. The Mt. Moffett Impact Area is a very large area covering the entire upper flanks of Mt. Moffett and extending down off the southeastern side of the mountain all the way to the northwestern corner of NAF Adak/Lake De Marie Ammunition Complex some 4 miles from the top of the peak. The area is made of five different impact areas, seven associated, off-site firing points, and seven range safety fans. In total, the Mt. Moffett Impact Area was divided into 26 AOCs. Site represents a range safety fan connecting MM-20 (firing point on Zeto Point) and the MM-11 impact area. The fan has essentially been investigated or will be investigated through various other AOCs. NOFA selected in OU B1 ROD.

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.

12/10/2001 Institutional Control Record Established An Ordnance Awareness Program was selected as the main IC for OU B in the OU B Record of Decision. The program is maintained by the Navy. Elim Yoon
12/11/2001 Record of Decision ROD signed on this date Jason Weigle
8/31/2004 Conditional Closure Approved NOFA selected in OU-B1 ROD; Ordnance Awareness Program IC in place 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
4/5/2006 Update or Other Action File number 2501.38.005 assigned on this date. Jason Weigle
