CEMVS-ED-P 4 September 200 I MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD SUBJECT: ASR Site Inspection: Petalulna 12th Naval District Target No. 9 - Califomia 1. Personnel from the St. Louis District Corps of Engineers traveled to California to pelform a site survey of the fortner Petaluma 12th Naval District Target No. 9. The Ordnance and Explosive (OE) and Chemical Warfare Materials (CWM) Archive Search Repost (ASR) program requires a site inspection. The ASR program supports the Defense Environ~nental Restoration Program (DERI') at Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). 2. The ASR site inspection cl~aracte~ized OE and CWM potential based on a visual examination at the fonner Petalulna 12th Naval District Target No. 0. Landowners granted verbal pernlission for right-of-enhy prior to the site inspection. The site inspection included only visual and non-intrusi\.e methods of inspection. The team followed a site safety and health plan (SSHP) prohibiting digging or handling of potential OEJCWM. l'he inspection team consisted of the following personnel: Alix Ro~rok, Randal Curtis and George Sloan. 3. The team traveled to Petaluma, California to begin a site inspection of the Petaluma 12'~Naval District Bombing Target No. 9 on Wednesday, 29 August 2001 in the morning about two hours before high tide. 'They met with Mike Sipes (707-226-3641), State of Califomia. Department of Fish and Game, Region 3, NapdSonoma Marshes who escorted the team to the site and provided boat transportation. Mr. Sipes has been with the Department of Fish and Game for 6 years. 4. The team began the site visit by putting in at the Black Point Marina near the mouth of the Petaluma River and San Pablo Ray. Heading north, they turned left into the San Antonio Creek, which form the southenl bounda~y of the FUDS. Pi short ways up, they made a right and headed north up the Mira Monte Slough.
ARCHIVES SEARCH REPORT – FINDINGS Petaluma 12th Naval District Target No. 9 Petaluma, CA 5. Tracking their progress with a GPS unit 1 , the team found the weathered wooden remains of the footbridge across the Mira Monte Slough at the location visible on the aerial imagery of the site from 1945. Mr. Sipes remained with the boat as the ASR team traversed across the marsh lands, which were generally solid. Based on imagery analysis the target lay about 1,000 feet to the ESE from the footbridge. The team was able to follow a wooden plank walkway part of the way through the marsh to the target. Although it approximated the path on aerial imagery, it was unclear if these were the remains of the Navy’s path or a reconstruction by duck hunters. The team came across at least half a dozen duck blinds in the area around the target center. 6. The target remains were partially located within an area of pooled water that appears to be essentially the same as in the 1940s. The remains were found within a couple hundred feet of the location as identified on aerial imagery. The team located weathered wooden posts in the water arranged in a circular manner. These weathered posts are ostensibly from the 100-foot diameter boardwalk ringing the target, which were visible on aerial imagery. The team traversed both sides of the water body and along it’s edges, but did not find any trace of OE debris. The low-lying vegetation of the marsh partially obscured the ground but it appears that all OE evidence must be beneath the surface. The team did observe a number of small (less than 5 feet across) and shallow (less than 1-2 feet deep) pools of standing water around the perimeter of the target. They appeared 1 Target feature coordinates were determined using georeferenced historic aerial imagery. The resulting waypoints were uploaded into a Garmin Etrex Legend GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver using mapping datum WGS 1984 Appendix L – Site Safety and Health Plan / Site Inspection Report Page 2 - Site Safety Inspection Report
