摘要: |
This report provides a summary of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL’s) activities to initiate operational development (Phase III) of theSequim Bay Underwater Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Demonstration Site in Washington State. More than 400 underwater locations in the U.S. havebeen identified by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to contain munitions from past military training and weapons testing, posing a threat to humanhealth and the environment. To address the challenge posed by this threat the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP)and Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) underwater Munitions Response (MR) program is developing standardized UXOdemonstration sites (“testbeds”) to rigorously evaluate technologies that can detect, geolocate, and classify proud and buried munitions in 0–35 m waterdepths. Sequim Bay in Washington is one of four demonstration sites located in U.S. coastal waters. PNNL-Sequim is located near the entrance toSequim Bay, where it provides operational, logistical, and facilities support for testbed activities. |
