TARGET
MARIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
SITE NO. J09CA729200
FINDINGS OF FACT
However, a memorandum form the Commander Fleet Ax Alameda, dated 4 March 1952,
stated that when the target ranges at Crows Landing were activated, the government
would initiate action to cancel the leases for the ground rights to the Tomales Bay
Bombing Target and the Abbott's Lagoon Bombing Target. On 21 May 1952, the Air
Space Subcommittee, a division of the Bureau of Aeronautics canceled the air space
danger areas covering the two target areas. No leases have been located pertaining to
these three bombing targets.
DETERMINATION
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, Tomales Bay Bombing Target and Abbott's
Lagoon Bombing Target have been determined to be formerly used by the Department of
Defense @OD). Therefore these portions of the Tomales ~a~l~b'bott's Lagoon Bombing
Target are eligible for the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for Formerly
Used Defense Sites established under 10 U.S.C. 2701 et Seq.
