FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY
JENNER RADAR SITE B-76
SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
SITE NO. J09CA091000
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Between approximately 1941 and 1942, the U.S. Army acquired
two use permits for 74 acres of land by donation. In addition, a
leasehold interest was acquired for 175.88 acres of land, by lease,
for a total of 249.88 acres.
2. The Radar Site B-76 was located 21 miles west of Santa Rosa,
in Sonoma County, California. The site was acquired for use as a
radar site. There were no documented improvements to the site;
however, the permission letter by the State Park Commission, for 71
acres, did authorize improvements by the U.S. Army. The permits
allowed the Army to enter, maneuver upon, pass over, fire, and
bivouac or camp upon the 74 State Park land acres.
3. On 28 ~ebrbar~ 1946, the lease for 175.88 acres was
terminated. On 28 December 1945 and 20 May 1947, the two use
permits for 74 acres were terminated. Records do not indicate if
there were any termination agreements in the lease. An attachment
to the permit for three acres indicated that the permittee agreed
to waive Notice of Cancellation and Restoration as required by the
permit. The updated real estate map indicates multiple ownership
of the site.
DETERMINATION
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the site has been
determined to be formerly used by the DOD. Therefore, it is
eligible for the Defense Restoration Program for Formerly Used
Defense Sites, established under 10 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.
