inspection.<br />

+-fly inspection.<br />

(4) Due to the lack of physical evidence and the lack of<br />

a reported OE presence, Area B is considered to be<br />

uncontaminated.<br />

d. Area C: All Remaining Land<br />

(1) This area has been subjected to a great deal of<br />

excavation, in t.he form of building new homes, vegetation removal<br />

and road construction. There have been no reports of OE<br />

contamination as a result of these excavations.<br />

(2) There have been no reports of OE or OE debris being<br />

found in Area C since site closure. Additionally, there were no<br />

e. Area D: Defense Firing Area<br />

(1) There is no confirmation that the artillery weapon<br />

was ever fired at this site. It is hearsay and conjecture that a<br />

75mm gun was at <strong>Jenner</strong> <strong>Radar</strong> <strong>Site</strong> B-<strong>76</strong>.<br />

(2) Even if a gun was present, it is unlikely that it<br />

was used. The relatively short time span that the Western<br />

Coastal Defense sites were active as well as heavy shipping<br />

traffic and intense commercial fishing would have precluded the<br />

gun crews from firing ordnance. During the records search no<br />

evidence of firing, such as notices to airmedmariners or danger<br />

areas on navigational charts, were discovered by the assessment<br />

team. There have been no reports of any ammunition related<br />

residue associated with this site. No newspaper accounts of<br />

.u/ firing of any sort were located.
