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 />
records found during the records search that would indicate past<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.
