RISK ASSESSMENT: This risk assessment (RAC) procedure was developed to address explosives safety hazards related to munitions. This procedure does not address environmental hazards associated with munitions constituents. The US. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (USAESCH), Ordnance and Explosives Directorate (CEHNC-OE) developed this procedure in accordance with MIL-STD 882C and AR 385-10. The Risk Assessment Code (FZAC) score will be used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to prioritize the response action(s) at Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). The risk assessment should be based on the best available information resulting from record searches, reports of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) actions, field observations (site visits), and interviews. This information is used to assess the risk involved based on the potential MMR hazards identified for the project. The risk assessment evaluates two factors, hazard severitv and hazard ~robabilitv.
Part I - Hazard Severitv. Hazard severity categories are defined to provide a qualitative measure of the worst credible event resulting from personnel exposure to various types and quantities of unexploded ordnance.

SITE DESCRIPTION:
a. Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field consisted of

approximately 97,000 acres. The approximate 94,700 acres
located in Nevada is not discussed in this report. The
remaining approximately 2,300 acres are located in Toole
County, Utah; part of this site lies within the limits of
Wendover, UT. Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) related features of the former Auxiliary Field included a
bomb target, small arms ranges, and an ammunition storage
area. Chemical Warfare (CW) related features included a
gas chamber at the north end of the cantonment area, gas
equipment stowage building at the north end of the
cantonment area, and a magazine for chemical bomb storage
in the ordnance storage area.
b. The ASR site inspection team did not conduct
another site inspection as part of this ASR Addendum. The
original 1993 ASR found evidence of small arms ammunition,
.50 caliber and smaller near the firing-in-buttarea and
small arms ranges, but no other MEC, ordnance debris or
CWM . 4.
SITE HISTORY:
a. The military acquired the land for Wendover Air

Force Auxiliary Field through withdrawals of public lands.
Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range covered over 1.8 million
acres. The approximate 2,300 acres for the Wendover
airfield was acquired by executive order in January 1941.
b. A photo (Appendix E-15) in May 1941 indicates that

Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field was used as a bomb
target prior to the construction of the taxiway. The
construction of the northeast/southwest runway would have
wiped out any evidence of the target. The Auxiliary Field
had several small arms practice ranges west of the ordnance
storage area, construction date unclear, and a Firing-In-
Butt Range east of the eastern taxiway. In October 1942,
the Bombing and Gunnery School moved to a site about 4
miles Northeast of the airfield (FUDS project J08UT1099).
There is a fenced in ordnance storage area immediately to
the south of the runway area of the airfield, which
includes buildings spaced in accordance with Quantity
Safety Distance Requirements for Explosives Storage.
Several other buildings are also shown in the ordnance area
on a drawing from 1944 but it is unclear what these
building were used for.
c. Chemical warfare training at Wendover Air Force
Auxiliary Field included the use of a gas chamber that was
removed in 1957. A December 1943 schedule of buildings in
the cantonment area indicated building 3208 as a "gas
instruction building." No evidence of a toxic gas yard or
a gas obstacle course was found.
d. Training at the Auxiliary Field slowed at the wars
conclusion and in December 1945 the base was transferred to
AMC then to several other organizations, when in 1972 the DoD declared the base surplus and ordered it final
disposal. In July 1976 the water system and its annexes
were transferred o the city of Wendover, UT. In August
1977 the Government Services Administration (GSA) deeded
the runways, taxiways, hangars, the hospital complex, and
several warehouses to the city of Wendover by quitclaim
deed. The city of Wendover transferred ownership of the
airfield to Tooele County in the late 1990's. It still
serves as a municipal airport (Appendix E-12).

STRATEGY: RI/FS
8. ISSUES AND CONCERNS:

a. The archive search uncovered evidence that Wendover
Air Force Auxiliary Field stored and used conventional
ordnance on site. The types of MEC used at this site-
included small arms and possibly practice bombs. Items
indicated as being stored in the ordnance area are inert
components, inert bombs, bombs, inert A.C. practice Bombs,
small arms ammunition, pyrotechnics, black powder, chemical
bombs, incendiary components, rockets, fuzes, spotting
charges, signals and flares. These items were listed on
documents from the 1940's. The 1993 site visit indicated
the storage area was clean with no evidence of disposal or
burial of MEC. The May 1941 aerial photo of the bomb
target (prior to taxiway construction) indicates the area
immediately surrounding target is not heavily scarred as
would be expected with the use of high explosives, so
evidently only practice bombs were used.
b. The ASR team did not find an indication of MEC
hazards at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field with the
exception of expended small arms ammunition ( - 5 0 caliber and smaller). Research discovered no historical records
indicating ordnance disposal on site. Interviews did not
disclose any incidents of MEC hazards associated with this
site. The 1993 ASR had several interviews but incidences
detailed were for other FUDS. Aerial photography analysis
did not locate any distinct signs of on-site burial.
c. The archive search uncovered a 1945 document
(AppendixE-5) indicating the presence of 1 ?4 M1 Gas ID Sets. It is unclear to what extent Wendover Air Force
Auxiliary Field used CWM for training, storage, or disposal. CW training facilities consisted of a gas
chamber; building 3208 was identified as a gas instruction
WendoverAir Force Auxiliary Field Wendover, UT Archives Search Reuort Addendum
building and there was a chemical bomb igloo in the

ammunition storage area.
d. The final disposition of any potential CAIS remains
unknown.
e. There are Federally-and State-listed species
occurring in the site area. An on-site inspection by the
appropriate federal and state personnel may be necessary to
verify the presence, absence or location of listed species,
or natural communities.
f. The Huntsville Center Technical Advisory Group met

and evaluated this ASR on 17 August 2004. The consensus was
RAC 1.

Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field Wendover, UT Archives Search Report Addendum
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is an addendum to the December 1993 Archive Search Report (ASR) on Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. This report concentrates on verifying the findings of the previous ASR and supplementing them based on additional research. Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field is located in Tooele County, UT and Elko County, NV near Wendover, UT. The Wendover airfield began as a sub-base of during the establishment of the massive bombing and gunnery range in the salt flats of the western part of Utah that become known as the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range (WBGR) in the fall of 1940. The airfield portion officially became Wendover Army Air Base (AAB) on 28 March 1942. The primary mission of Wendover AAB during World War II was training heavy bombardment groups. After the war, Wendover airfield became part of the Air Material Commands (AMC) weapons development program until March 1947. From 1947 to the early 1970s, AMC, Strategic Air Command, and Tactical Air Command operated the airfield for a variety of uses including strategic and tactical training and research and development. Ordnance and explosive (OE) related features of the former airfield included 10 small arms ranges (e.g. 2 Pistol Ranges, a 1,000-inch Range, 200 and 300 yard Known Distance ranges, a Moving Target Range, 3 Skeet Ranges and a Firing-In-Butt Range), a practice bombing target and an ordnance storage area. Chemical warfare (CW) related features of the former airfield included a gas instruction building and a gas equipment storage building in the north end of the cantonment area and a chemical bomb storage building in the ordnance storage area. Chemical Warfare Material (CWM) training included use of Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS) detonation sets. The stated acreage for FUDS Site No. J08UT1001 is 80,102.67 acres of land, based on a total acquired acreage of 96,996.9 acres and retention of 16,894.293 acres for the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). During this investigation, it was discovered that the Nevada portion of the site (94,720+ acres) was part of an even larger 1942 land withdrawal for the War Department (i.e. Nevada Bombing Range) that included an additional 313,579 acres that had not been documented by the FUDS program to date. Upon notification of this, the Sacramento District decided to create a new FUDS site for the Nevada property; modify the existing site No. J08UT1001 and issue a revised Inventory Project Report (INPR) for that site number to reflect only the airfield portion primarily in Utah. As a result, this ASR addendum report covers only the airfield including approximately 2,300 acres.

The risk assessment should be based on the best available information resulting from records searches, reports of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) actions, field observations (site visits), and interviews. This information is used to assess the risk involved based on the potential MMR hazards identified for the project. The risk assessment evaluates two factors, hazard severity and hazard probability. PART I. Hazard Severity - Hazard severity categories are defined to provide a qualitative measure of the worst credible event resulting from personnel exposure to various types and quantities of unexploded ordnance. TYPE OF ORDNANCE: (Check all that apply) A. Conventional ordnance and ammunition: Explosive Projectiles (.50 cal and larger) Bombs, explosive Grenades, hand or rifle, explosive Landmine, explosive Rockets, guided missile, explosive Bombs, practice (w/explosive spotting charges) Other explosive item not previously stated Detonators, blasting caps, fuzes, boosters, bursters Practice ordnance (w/spotting charges) Small arms (ball only or blank), complete round (.22 cal - .50 cal) Small arms (ball only or blank), expended (.22 cal - .50 cal) Practice ordnance (w/o spotting charges) Conventional ordnance and ammunition (enter largest single value checked) VALUE 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 6 4 1 0 0 _10_ Raters Name: Janice Hitchcock and George Sloan Phone No.: 314-331-8842 & 314-331-8796 Organization: CEMVS-ED-P Score: 1
What evidence do you have regarding conventional unexploded ordnance? The site inspection located evidence of OE debris in the form of expended .50 cal and smaller cases at the small arms range complex and the firing-in-butt range but the inspection found no complete rounds. Bombs w/spotting charges is checked because a photo was found showing a bomb target in what later became part of the runway area. Storage of other items is implied by the ordnance storage but these items have not been checked.

================================================ PART IV. Narrative. Summarize the documented evidence that supports this risk assessment. If no documented evidence was available, explain all the assumptions that you made. The RAC score assigned to Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field is 1. Part I received a Hazard Severity Rating of "Catastrophic", Part II received a Hazard Probability Rating of "Frequent". According to table 3, these ratings convert to a Risk Assessment Code of 1. A Hazard Severity rating of Catastrophic versus "Critical" was warranted based on chemical gas identification kits being on site and the ASR not being able to determine their final disposition. Subsurface disposal of the kits is conceivable, however the ASR found no information to indicate this was done or where it may have occurred. The ASR team found no readily identifiable remediation project concerning CWM at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 AUTHORITY In 1986, Congress established the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) at 10 United State Code (USC) 2701 et seq. This program directed the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program of environmental restoration at facilities under the jurisdiction of the Secretary. In March 1990, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a revised National Contingency Plan (NCP). Under 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 300.120, EPA designated the Department of Defense (DoD) to be the removal response authority for incidents involving DoD military weapons and munitions under the jurisdiction, custody and control of DoD. Since the beginning of this program, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers acts as the agency responsible for environmental restoration at Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). Beginning in 1990, the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (USAESCH) serves as the Center of Expertise (CX) and Design Center for Ordnance and Explosives. In cooperation with the USAESCH, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District, prepares Archives Search Reports (ASR) in support of environmental restoration at active DoD installations, Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) and installation transitions under Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) recommendations. 1.2 SUBJECT 1.2.1 General Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field (AFAF) is located in Tooele County, UT and Elko County, NV near Wendover, UT. The Wendover airfield began as a sub-base of Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City during the establishment of the massive bombing and gunnery range in the salt flats of the western part of Utah that become known as the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range (WBGR) in the fall of 1940. The airfield portion officially became Wendover Army Air Base (AAB) on 28 March 1942. The primary mission of Wendover AAB during World War II was training heavy bombardment groups, although fighter pilots also trained there. Most famously the 509th Composite Group were stationed and trained at Wendover in preparation for dropping atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945. After the war, Wendover airfield became part of the Air Material Commands (AMC) weapons development program until March 1947, when it was transferred to the Strategic Air Command (SAC). SAC deactivated the Wendover airfield in 1948 and declared it excess to its needs after September 1949. In July 1950, the AMC re-acquired the Wendover air base but it was used very little. In 1953, the Tactical Air Command (TAC)
Section 1 - Introduction Page 1
reactivated Wendover as a gunnery and mobility staging area. After that Wendover was used off and on for training until it was declared surplus in late 1972 and its final disposal was ordered. Ordnance and explosive (OE) related features of the former airfield included 10 small arms ranges (e.g. 2 Pistol Ranges, a 1,000-inch Range, 200 and 300 yard Known Distance Ranges, a Moving Target Range, 3 Skeet Ranges and a Firing-In-Butt Range), a practice bombing target and an ordnance storage area. Chemical warfare (CW) related features of the former airfield included a gas instruction building and a gas equipment storage building in the north end of the cantonment area and a chemical bomb storage building in the ordnance storage area. Chemical Warfare Material (CWM) training included use of Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS) detonation sets. Plate 1 in the report plates section shows the general location of the site. 1.2.2 Reduction of FUDS Site No. J08UT1001 The stated acreage for FUDS Site No. J08UT1001 is 80,102.67 acres of land. This is based on a total acquired stated acreage of 96,996.9 acres of land and retention of 16,894.293 acres by the Air Force for the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). This figure originated from the audited Real Estate maps of Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, which began in 1952 and were subsequently updated to reflect acquisitions and disposal. It was these maps that were used to define the site for the DERP FUDS program. The vast majority of this land is located in Nevada (94,720+ acres) and was withdrawn by Public Land Order (PLO) No. 627 dated 11 January 1950. The remaining approximately 2,300 acres lies in Utah and concerns the airfield proper. The investigations and reports completed to date for this site (see section 2) primarily focus on the airfield with minimal attention to the much larger portion of the property in Nevada.1 During this investigation, it was discovered that the Nevada portion of the site was part of a much larger 1942 land withdrawal for the War Department (i.e. Nevada Bombing Range) that included an additional 313,579 acres that had not been documented by the FUDS program to date (see section 5.1 for details). The St. Louis District notified the Sacramento District about this oversight and various options were discussed. The Sacramento District decided to create a new FUDS site for the Nevada property; modify the existing site No. J08UT1001 and issue a revised Inventory Project Report (INPR) for that site number to reflect only the airfield portion primarily in Utah. As a result, this ASR addendum report covers only the airfield including approximately 2,300 acres. Plate 3 in the report plates section shows the property area covered by INPR J08UT1001 dated August 1992. Plate 4 shows the property area to be covered by the modified site No. J08UT1001 and the property covered by the proposed site Nevada Bombing Range. 1.3 PURPOSE
The ASR compiles information obtained through historical research at various archives and records holding facilities. The archives search process is primarily a textual, cartographic and photographic research and analysis effort. It also makes use of site visits and interviews to gather information concerning the site. It does not include sampling or quantitative field assessment techniques to gather data. The search directs efforts towards determining possible use or disposal of OE and Chemical Warfare Material (CWM) on the former military establishment. The research places particular emphasis on establishing the types, quantities and areas of use and disposal. This process obtains information for use in developing recommendations for further action at the former Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. Currently, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety Office defines OE and CWM as: 2 Ordnance and Explosives (OE): . . . anything related to munitions designed to cause damage to personnel or material through explosive force, incendiary action or toxic effects. OE is: bombs and warheads, missiles; artillery, mortar and rocket ammunition, small arms ammunition; antipersonnel and antitank mines; demolition charges; high explosives and propellants; depleted uranium rounds; military chemical warfare materials as defined [below]; and all similar and related items or components, explosive in nature or otherwise designed to cause damage to personnel or material (e.g., fuze, boosters/propellants or soils/media contaminated with explosives if the concentration is sufficient to be reactive.) . . .Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) is an item of explosive ordnance which has failed to function as designed or has been abandoned, discarded or improperly disposed of and is still capable of functioning, causing damage to personnel or material. . . Chemical Agent: A chemical substance that is intended for use in military operations to kill, seriously injure, or incapacitate a person through its physiological effects. Excluded from consideration are industrial chemicals, riot control agents, chemical herbicides, smoke, and incendiary materials. Chemical Warfare Material (CWM): An item configured as a munition containing a chemical substance that is intended to kill, [seriously injure], or incapacitate a person through physiological effects. Also includes V- and G- series nerve agent, H-series series blister agent, and lewisite in other than munition configurations. Due to their prevalence and military unique application, chemical agent identifications sets (CAIS) are also considered CWM. CWM does not include: riot control agents, chemical herbicides, smoke and flame producing items, or soil, water, debris or other media contaminated with chemical agent. CWM also falls under the definition of Ordnance and Explosives
As stated above, CWM items exclude pyrotechnics (incendiaries, flares, signals, simulators, screening/burning smokes) and riot control agents (vomiting, tear), which were developed and managed by the Armys Chemical Warfare Service (CWS) but are still considered OE. These items historically were material managed by the CWS, along with the chemical agents and weaponized industrial chemicals (e.g. Hydrogen Cyanide AC; Cyanogen Chloride, CK; Phosgene, CG) that are currently defined as CWM. The purpose of the ASR Addendum program is to reexamine those ASRs whose original scope may have been too limited or where additional records appear to be available that will significantly alter the findings of the original ASR. Because the previous ASR and SOHR for Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field did not include the large land area located in Nevada, the research team started looking for historical data on that area. 1.4 SCOPE This investigation focuses on potential OE and/or CWM contamination remaining on the former Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. The DERP-FUDS project number is J08UT100104. This report presents the following: A review of related site investigations A brief history of Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field Description of the OE and/or CW activities identified with the site A map and aerial photography analysis of the site with regards to OE and/or CW activities Real estate information, past and present Findings of the site inspection General technical data on OE and/or CWM items associated with Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field These factors represent the basis for the evaluation of potential OE and CWM contamination and associated risks at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. This is an addendum to the December 1993 ASR on this site. This report concentrates on verifying the findings of the previous ASR and supplementing them. The archive search team placed particular emphasis filling in the "data gaps" in the established knowledge base. It appends and refines the findings of earlier research.
PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS
2.1 CORPS OF ENGINEERS DOCUMENTS 2.1.1 General The following reports comprise the primary investigations by the Corps of Engineers of Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field in support of the DERP for FUDS. The Sacramento District of the Corps of Engineers prepared the 1992 and 1995 Inventory Project Reports (INPR) and 2002 Site Operational History Report (SOHR). The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville Design Center for Ordnance and Explosives tasked St. Louis District, Corps of Engineers (CEMVS) with the preparation of the Archive Search Report Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field Site No. J08UT1001, December 1993 based on the findings of the 1992 study. This report is an addendum to the 1993 ASR. 2.1.2 Inventory Project Report 1992 Inventory Project Report Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, Tooele County/Wendover, UT, FUDS Site No. J08UT1001, August 1992. 3 The INPR describes Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field (AFAF) as a 96,996.9 acre site. The FUDS site is 80,102.607 acres with the remaining 16,894.293 acres owned by the Department of Defense. The description in the INPR is unclear as to what land is located in Nevada and what is located in Utah. The site visit section of the INPR indicates that the only property in Nevada visited was a landfill located on current Air Force property and an ordnance disposal area four miles southwest of Wendover airfield. The Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range and the Special Weapons Bombing Range No. 1 were included in the site visit. However, these areas are located outside of the FUDS site addressed by this report. The Inventory Project Report (INPR) (see Appendix E-1 for this report) assigned a Risk Assessment Code (RAC) of 4 for the OE/CWM portion of this site, although none were actually within the boundaries of the site. The INPR identified four suspected areas of ordnance concern for this site: two located on the active Air Force Utah Test and Training Range and the other two located on separate FUDS, which apparently were subsequently assigned new site numbers: J08UT1099 Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range J08UT1101 Special Weapons Bombing Range No. 1 The report made no mention of the various small arms ranges, bomb target, gas chamber or ordnance storage yard on the airfield property and made only limited discussion of the Nevada portion of the site. The reference to Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range in this case specifically meant the site of the ground gunnery school firing ranges located a
Section 2 Previous Investigations Page 5
few miles northeast of the base. This is a very small piece of the much larger Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range, FUDS Site No. J08UT1099. Confusion arises since in historic documents, the term Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range is sometimes used for the ground gunnery school and sometimes used for the much larger Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range, including the airfield. In addition to the OE potential, this report identified a containerized hazardous and toxic waste (CON/HTW) project and a building demolition/debris removal (BD/DR) project at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. The CON/HTW project consists of removal and disposal of four underground and one above ground storage tanks and associated piping, the POL fueling system, soil sampling, backfilling, and site restoration as required. The BD/DR project consists of filling in two atom bomb load pits with soil and the demolition and filling-in of a collapsing underground structure. It also identified a hazard and toxic waste (HTW) project dealing with soil, groundwater and product sampling at all HTW areas of concern. The Sacramento District of the Corps of Engineers investigates and manages these additional environmental concerns at the former Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. 2.1.3 Archive Search Report, 1993 Archives Search Report, Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, Tooele County, UT, Site No. J08UT1001, December 1993. The ASR site inspection team identified and visited the ammunition storage area, the small arms ranges to the west, and Firing-In-Butt Range finding expended cartridge cases at the ranges for ammunition .50 caliber and smaller. In regards to CW training, the ASR reported the presence of 1 of 10 authorized Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS) and a gas chamber on site but did not specifically locate either of them. The ASR team assigned a RAC 4 to the airfield. Following the course of the 1992 INPR, the 1993 ASR also visited other FUDS properties beyond the boundaries for Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, specifically: J08UT1099 Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range J08UT1101 Special Weapons Bombing Range No. 1 Furthermore, the ASR did not discuss the use of the Nevada portion of the subject site. 2.1.4 Inventory Project Report 1995 Inventory Project Report Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, Tooele County/Wendover, UT, FUDS Site No. J08UT1001, August 1992, Revised December 1995. 4
The revised INPR did not identify any OE projects on the Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, since all the four areas of potential ordnance concern noted in the 1992 INPR were deleted as being on either other FUDS property, on active Air Force property or as being HTRW projects (radiological survey). The INPR identified one BD/DR project, one CON/HTW project and one HTRW project. The BD/DR project was not changed in the revised INPR. The CON/HTW project increased the number of tanks to be removed to 13. The HTRW project identifies 8 areas of HTRW concern on the site: two sets of atom bomb loading pits (sites 1 and 2), electric switch/generator building (site 13), motor vehicle repair shops (site 14), power plant (site 15), wash and grease racks (site 18), atom bomb assembly building foundation (site 19), fueling pit boxes (site 22). The project consists of surface sampling in buildings as required, soil sampling, remediation and site restoration as required at sites 13, 14, 15, 18, and 22. A radiological survey is to be performed at sites 1, 2, and 19. 2.1.5 Site Operational History Report, 2002 Site Operational History Report, Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, Wendover, UT, April 2002. The Site Operational History Report (SOHR) of the Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field prepared in March of 2002 indicates that Wendover Air Base comprised approximately 96,000 acres, but the report focused on only the airfield portion located in Utah. Figure 1-1 in the SOHR indicates that the site is located in Utah with the exception of a small section of the runway that extends into Nevada. The use of most of the approximately 94,700 acres in Nevada is not discussed in the report. Approximately 340 drawings pertaining to Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range, and the Special Weapons Bombing Range No. 1 were scanned during this investigation. Some of these scanned drawings are referenced in this ASR Addendum. The SOHR discusses the small arms ranges, ordnance storage area, bomb assembly buildings, rocket launch facility, gas equipment storage building, gas instruction building and the presence of CAIS on the site. The only features in Nevada discussed in the report are the Johnstone Springs water supply facility and the base landfill. 2.2 OTHER REPORTS The archive search did not locate any additional environmental investigations or reports concerning OE and CWM at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field.

HISTORICAL SITE SUMMARY
4.1 CHRONOLOGICAL SITE SUMMARY 4.1.1 General Site History Wendover Field was initially a sub-base of Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City. In 1940 as the Army Air Corps began negotiations with the Department of the Interior (DOI) for land to create a massive bombing and gunnery range in the salt flats of the western part of Utah near Wendover, in April 1940. In August 1940, the Army made Fort Douglas, located on the east side of Salt Lake City, an airbase, with its flying facilities located at the Salt Lake City Municipal Airport and the housing and support facilities located at the fort. Concurrently, the Army began plans to establish Wendover Field located on the Utah-Nevada state line, as another sub-post of Fort Douglas. By October 1940, President Roosevelt made the first land withdrawal for the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range (WBGR), which would eventually cover over 1.8 million acres. Fort Douglas served as the main military reservation, for all three of the sub-posts (i.e. WBGR, Wendover Field and the Salt Lake City airfield) as construction of targets, airfield upgrades, temporary buildings, and operating facilities began. Bombing from the Salt Lake airfield on the WBGR began by the end of November 1940.5 The first military unit at Wendover Field was a Bombing and Gunnery Range detachment formed from the Fifth Air Base Group at Ft. Douglas. The unit consisting of ten enlisted men and two officers arrived on 12 August 1941. When they arrived, there were several barracks, a mess hall, a dispensary, signal office, warehouse, powerhouse, and administrative building. There was no electricity and a poor water supply. The unit maintained precision bombing ranges for the use of bombing crews from Geiger Field, Washington; Gowen Field, Idaho; Pendleton, Oregon, and the Salt Lake Air Base. By 31 August 1941 there were 5 officers and 100 enlisted men.6 Wendover Field received official Army Air Base status on 28 March 1942. The primary mission of Wendover Army Air Base during the war was training heavy bombardment groups. When the heavy bomber training program officially began on 1 March 1942, the Second Air Force trained its bomber crews in two phases, each phase lasting six weeks. After completing the first phase elsewhere, the crews came to Wendover for the second six-week program. Later, the Second Air Force converted to a three phase program with each phase lasting four weeks. Wendover continued to train crews in the second phase. The 306th Bombardment Group was the first unit to undergo bombardment training at Wendover Army Air Base. It trained from mid-April through the end of July. When the 306th group arrived the only training facilities available were a link trainer department and the ranges that had been constructed before the base was activated. These included one moving mount target, operated behind butts; a small bore range and skeet ranges.7
Section 4 Historical Site Summary Page 9
Two dozen enlisted men and a Sergeant of the Bombing and Gunnery Detachment maintained the bombing ranges 60 miles east of Wendover Field. During July 1942, they constructed the largest bombing range in the world, built life-size targets of enemy battleships with tar on the white salt crust, installed their own electric system for night illumination, and graded roads for 10 miles around. The bombing and gunnery school moved on 31 October 1942 into the hills some four miles from the main part of the air basei and constructed rifle, skeet and machine gun ranges. They also constructed a moving target supported by a jeep that moved on a circular track and a railroad car device known as the Tokyo Trolley with three machine guns mounted on the railroad car, which passed stationary targets.8 By the middle of 1943, adequate housing, shop facilities, runways, and morale-boosting amenities had been completed at Wendover Airfield. From April 1942 through 1 January 1944 a total of eight B-17 bombardment groups (heavy) trained at Wendover, the 306th, 302nd, 100th, 379th, 384th, 388th, 393rd, and 457th. Thirteen bombardment groups (heavy) trained with B-24 Liberator bombers from 1 October 1942 through 1 October 1944, the 308th, 399th, 445th, 458th, 461st, 448th, 451st, 467th, 464th, 489th, 490th, and 494th. In 1944, the base could handle two bomber groups at the same time, and the Second Air Force changed its program again by having each base conduct all three phases of training.9 Wendover also trained fighter pilots for a short time in 1944, but they left in order to make room for the B-29 Superfortress pilots and crews which would eventually become the famous 509th Composite Group. This group trained at Wendover and in Cuba before leaving for the Pacific Theater. These pilots and airmen dropped the atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945.10 Training at Wendover quickly slowed down as the war reached its conclusion, and on 31 December 1945, the base was transferred from the Second Air Force to the Air Materiel Command (AMC). Wendover moved into AMCs weapons development program as a research and development site for guided missiles, pilotless aircraft and remotely controlled bombs.11 On 16 March 1947 the jurisdiction of Wendover Field was transferred from the AMC to the Fifteenth Air Force, Strategic Air Command (SAC). The function of the base was to maintain an active range with facilities for tactical units to stage for maneuver periods, and to provide accommodations for transient aircraft personnel. The base was completely deactivated in 1948 and was declared surplus the following year though it remained within the Air Force.12 Jurisdiction of Wendover AFB was transferred from SAC to AMC, Ogden Air Logistics Center, Hill AFB, UT on 1 July 1950. In mid-1954 the Tactical Air Commands (TAC)
i
Part of a separate FUDS site, J08UT1099 Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range. Section 4 Historical Site Summary Page 10
461st Bombardment Wing (Light) moved to Wendover for 43 days for the combat units to practice techniques in rocketry, bombing, gunnery and armed reconnaissance.13 On 1 October 1954, Wendover was transferred to the TAC and reactivated as a gunnery and mobility staging area. Workers renovated and reopened old buildings, extended runways, and constructed new targets. The base was deactivated and jurisdiction transferred back to Ogden Air Logistics Center AMC on 1 January 1958 because it was not used enough to justify the expense of operation. The Utah Air National Guard, the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard used the base on occasion for training. In December 1960, the base was placed on inactive caretaker status under the management of Hill Air Force Base. It was reactivated on 15 July 1961 with a firefighting detachment of about 15 men stationed there. Air Force Systems Command activated Detachment 2, 6594th Aerospace Test Wing at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field on 1 October 1962 to test the X-15. By the end of 1972, the only active area associated with Wendover was the adjacent range complex.14 In late 1972 the Department of Defense declared the base surplus and ordered its final disposal. The base was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in July 1975 because of its role in the training of the 509th Composite Group, which dropped the atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945. On 9 July 1976 the water system and its annexes were transferred to the city of Wendover, UT. On 15 August 1977, the General Services Administration deeded the runways, taxiways, hangers, the hospital complex, and several warehouses to the city of Wendover by quitclaim deed. The Air Force retained only about 86 acres of the old cantonment area northwest of the flight line and approximately 164 acres on the west side of the base where a radar site was located. In 1980 General Services Administration disposed of the 86 acres of the old cantonment area. The City renamed the airfield Decker Field. The City has leased parts of the old base to the military for training. The 4440th Tactical Fighter Training Group out of Nellis AFB, Nevada, used it occasionally from 1980 to 1986 for training exercises. The City of Wendover transferred ownership of the airfield to Tooele County in the late 1990s. It still serves as a municipal airport.15 4.2 HISTORIC MILITARY MUNITIONS USAGE 4.2.1 Summary of Ordnance and Explosives Activities Training facilities at Wendover Field included a bomb target, small arms ranges and a gas chamber. (See 4.2.2 for gas chamber discussion) Bombardment Squadrons used a portion of Wendover Field as a bombing target prior to the arrival of the first unit at Wendover. The location of the bomb target later became a taxiway on the airfield. The gunners trained at small arms ranges, consisting of 9 ranges (e.g. 2 Pistol Ranges, a 1,000-inch Range, 200 and 300 yard Known Distance Ranges, a Moving Target Range and 3 Skeet Ranges), located just south of the runway area. There is a 10th small arms range, a Firing-In-Butt Range located to the east of the eastern taxiway. An ordnance
storage area roughly 3,370 feet by 1,400 feet is located immediately south of the runway area.
4.2.1.1 Bombing Target
The 423d Bombardment Squadron (H) from Salt Lake City Army Air Base used a portion of Wendover Field as a bombing target prior to the arrival of the first unit at Wendover on 12 August 1941. The photograph of Wendover Field from 30 May 1941 shows a circular bomb target consisting of a center with two concentric rings surrounding it within the red circle. Evidence of this target would be wiped out with the construction of a taxiway as the northeast/southwest runway was completed through the triangular aixplane parking area seen in the photograph. The bombing target is located roughly at N40 43.48' W114" 1.7'. The archive search did not identify any details concerning what types of bombs were dropped on this target. The area immediately surrounding the target is not heavily scarred as would be!expected with the use of high explosives, so evidently only practice bombs were used. standard practice bomb in use by the Army at the time was the 100 pound sheet metal M38A2 Practice ~ 0 m b . l ~
4.2.1.2 Small Amzs Ranges
Several small arms practice ranges were constructed in an area approximately one thousand feet west of the ordnance storage area. Based on map analysis and aerial photo analysis, this area included 3 skeet ranges, two pistol ranges, a 1,000-inch range, a 300 Yard Known Distance (KD) Range, and a 200 Yard KD Range and a lMoving target Range. A Firing-In-Butt Range was constructed east of the eastern taxiway. The date of construction of these ranges is not lmown but in June 1942, the gunners of the 3 0 6 ~ Bombardment Group (Heavy) were training on a moving mount target operated behind butts, a small bore range and skeet ranges. Records indicate that some target ranges were constructed before the base was activated."
Section 4 - Historical Site Summary Page 12
On 31 October 1942, the Bombing and Gunnery School moved to a new site in the hills about 4 miles NE of the airfield. They constructed rifle, skeet, machine gun ranges and moving target ranges. This area is part of another FUDS project: J08UT1099 Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range. Plate 7 in the report plates section is an installation map showing the locations of the bombing target and the small arms ranges.18 4.2.1.3 Ordnance Storage Area There is a fenced in ordnance storage area immediately to the south of the runway area of the airfield, which includes the following buildings: Building Number 21 25 26 28 29 32 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 Description Warehouse for inert component storage & office
Warehouse for inert bombs
Armament assembly and maintenance shop
Magazine for small arms ammunition
Small arms ammunition storehouse with office
Magazine for small arms ammunition
Post ordnance magazine for pyrotechnics
War reserve strategic storage igloo
Black powder storage igloo
Magazine for segregated storage
Magazine for chemical bomb storage
The above list appears on a December 1943 schedule of buildings. Buildings 36 through 51 are obviously spaced in accordance with Quantity Safety Distance Requirements for Explosive Storage. Buildings 19, 20, 22, 33, 34, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 and 65 are also shown in the ordnance area on a drawing from 1944 but this research did not determine what these buildings were used for. Items indicated as being stored in the ordnance area are inert components, inert bombs, bombs, inert A.C. practice bombs, small arms ammunition, pyrotechnics, black powder,
chemical bombs, incendiary components, rockets, fuses, spotting charges, signals and flares. These items were listed on documents from the 1940s. Other OE related items may have been stored in this area since then.19 4.2.2 Summary of Chemical Warfare Activities CWM training facilities consisted of a gas chamber located at the north end of the cantonment area. CWM training at Wendover Field involved the use of detonation Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS) and probably instructional CAIS and CN capsules. CWM storage facilities consisted of a gas equipment storage building at the north end of the cantonment area, and a magazine for chemical bomb storage in the ordnance storage area. 4.2.2.1 Chemical Warfare Training The archive search uncovered records that indicate that the 593rd Army Air Force Band attended chemical warfare training including going through a gas chamber in July of 1944. No other details of what the training entailed were found. Although not specifically stated, use of CN capsules is likely in these training exercises. Typical gas chamber exercises of the period used CN (Chloracetophenone, a lachrymator or tear gas) to demonstrate improperly adjusted or fitted gas masks. Typically the CN came in capsule form filled with CN. CN particles sting and irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat and have a powerful lachrymatory effect on exposed personnel. The 593rd also attended chemical warfare training in September of 1944. This training probably took place in the gas instruction building. A schedule of buildings in the cantonment and housing area, dated December 1943, lists building no. 3208 as gas instruction building. This building was located at the north end of the cantonment area roughly 120 yards south and 30 yards east of the intersection of 11th Street and E Street. No evidence of a toxic gas yard or a gas obstacle course was found.20 The Report of Controlled and Other Critical Items of Equipment inventory report dated 28 February 1945 shows 1 Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS) detonation sets of the 10 authorized were on hand at Wendover Field. These kits contained active toxic chemical agents. The presence of detonation CAIS, at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, implies that instructional CAIS were also present, as troops were typically trained with instructional CAIS prior to training with detonation CAIS. Research did not uncover a comprehensive list of the quantities used, a specific location for the training or any documentation relating to the final disposition of any potential remaining CAIS sets.21 4.2.2.2 Chemical Warfare Storage A schedule of buildings from 1943 lists a gas equipment storage building. This building was located in the north end of the cantonment area. A chemical bomb storage igloo is
shown in the ordnance storage area immediately south of the runway area. No records were found specifying what was stored there. 4.2.3 Certificates of Clearance and EOD Incidents The archive search located 3 Certificates of Clearance associated with the Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, one for property in Nevada and two for areas in and around the airfield in Utah. However, the archive search did not reveal any records of specific EOD incidents at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. There is a certificate of clearance for the 80,000 acres in Nevada, which indicates that, the 2701st Explosives Ordnance Disposal Squadron, Hill AFB visually inspected and cleared the land, in April and May 1961, of all dangerous or explosive material reasonably possible to detect. The land cleared is the 80,000 acres retransferred to the Department of Interiors Bureau of Land Management (BLM) by PLO No. 2774, dated 20 September 1962. PLO No. 2774 indicates that the 80,000 acres were used for bombing, gunnery, rocketry and as an artillery range. In 1961, the Corps of Engineers described to the BLM that the: Land has been used for Bombing, Gunnery, Rocketry and Artillery Range. Munitions such as Artillery projectiles, general purpose bombs varying in size from 100 pounds to 2,000 pounds, Rockets of various sizes, T-63 practice units, 250 pound practice bombs, chemical munitions and miscellaneous munitions of all types. Although the statement refers specifically to the Nevada property only, it appears to be more of a general statement of all the munitions used on the entire Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range. The EOD certificate of clearance does not indicate what was found during the clearance. There are no restrictions on future land use.22 A certificate of clearance was located for Wendover Auxiliary Airfield from 2 November 1976. Approximately 2,249 acres were cleared. Most of this land is in Utah with a small area located in Nevada around the runway. The land was cleared of all explosive ordnance and ordnance residue reasonably possible to detect and there are no restrictions of future use of the land.23 A certificate of clearance was located for 47.07 acres in Nevada around the runway that extends into Nevada. The area was cleared between 17 and 19 December 1996, to a depth of one meter and there are no future restrictions on future use of the land to a depth of one meter. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Report for this clearance indicates that only small arms projectiles were found.24 4.3 OTHER POTENTIAL AREAS OF ENVIRONMENTAL INTEREST
Potential environmental concerns at Wendover Auxiliary Air Field involve thirteen underground and aboveground storage tanks and associated piping of the POL fueling system and the two atom bomb loading pits. The Sacramento District of the Corps of Engineers investigates and manages these additional environmental concerns at the former Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. 4.4 MAP ANALYSIS This archive search located a number of site-specific layout plans for Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. In summary, these maps located the following OE and CW activities related structures on site: an ordnance storage area, a gas chamber, a gas equipment storage building, and small arms ranges. Though the small arms ranges are not labeled, but it appears that there are 2 Pistol Ranges, 3 Skeet Ranges, a 1,000-inch Range, a 200 yard Known Distance (KD) Range, a 300 yard KD Range, a Moving Target Range and a Firing-In-Butt Range. The paragraphs below discuss the relevant information retrieved from the reviewed maps, included in Appendix G. All historical maps and site plans contained in Appendix G are printed on 11- by 17-inch paper for reproduction. The underlined map titles are hyperlinked to JPEG (*.JPG) compliant or Microsoft Word (*.DOC) images of the subject maps on the digital version of this report but the resolution can be poor on larger maps with details. Full size copies of the maps remain in the ASR backup files. The maps are discussed in order of creation or final revision.

Appendix G-125 This drawing shows the fenced in ordnance storage area. The storage igloos and magazines are arranged in three east-west rows accessed by three east-west roads. The drawing indicates that four magazines are already constructed and two additional magazines will be constructed on the north road (nearest the air field). Three igloos are already constructed and three more will be constructed on the center road. Four igloos will be constructed on the south road. Two small arms ammunition magazines and a small arms ammunition storehouse will be constructed on a north-south road on the west end of the center east-west road. Two warehouses and an ammunition assembly and maintenance shop are located west of the north-south road. The drawing indicates storage of inert components, chemical bombs, small arms ammunition, black powder, and inert a. c. practice bombs. Nine of the igloos are indicated for war reserve strategic storage.

Appendix G-226 This is a construction plan for a 200 yard rifle range located west of the ordnance area. This is the earliest a small arms range has shown up on a located historical drawing. However, Wendover Air Base histories indicate that the 306th Bombardment Group trained in April 1942 on ranges that had been constructed before the base was activated. These included one moving mount target, operated behind butts; a small bore range and skeet ranges. U.S. Engineer Office, Sacramento, CA, 1944 Layout Plan Ordnance Area, May 1944; Reference Drawing WD-157, Site Operational History Report Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District. Appendix G-327 This drawing shows the fenced in ordnance storage area immediately to the south of the runway area of the airfield. The fenced in area is a little larger than on the June 1942 layout plan above. Fourteen additional buildings are shown west of the north-south access road to the magazines and igloos. This is sheet 4 of 4 so the purpose of the buildings may be indicated on another drawing that was not located. These additional buildings are not listed on a December 1943 schedule of buildings. The drawing indicates storage of bombs, incendiary components, inert components, rockets, ammunition, fuses, spotting charges, signals and flares. The drawing also shows the small arms practice ranges west of the ordnance storage area.

This is a plan of the cantonment area. The plan shows Building 3208 located east of the north end of 11th Street on coordinate 6000-N, identified as the gas instruction building on the schedule of buildings. Building 2216, shown just east of 7th Street and north of D Street, is identified as the gas equipment storage building on the schedule of buildings. Reportedly, building 3208 was removed from the airfield in 1957 and building 2216 no longer exists.29
Office of Post Engineer 1945 Cantonment Area - Wendover Field, UT, 1 June 1945; Reference Drawing WD-132, Site Operational History Report Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District. Appendix G-530 This plan of Wendover Air Base shows the firing-in-butt target east of the eastern taxiway, the ordnance area south of the runway area, and small arms ranges west of the ordnance area. Unfortunately the ranges are not labeled but the delineated features are such that some determination of their use can be made. Three single position skeet ranges adjacent to one another are shown north of the access road to the ordnance storage area. South of the road, there are two Known Distance (KD) Rifle Ranges next to the Ordnance storage area with a southern direction of firing. The western KD range has firing lines at 100, 200 and 300 yards, while the eastern range only has firing lines at 100 and 200 yards. West of this are three ranges with less than 100 feet between the berm and firing lines. Apparently these are 1,000-inch small bore or pistol ranges. The middle range is slightly wider. To the west and south of this, there is an oval without a clear purpose but based on there being a moving target range, this is ostensibly that range.

Record Group 18, Entry 2C, Box 2794, Folder 684. National Archives, College Park, MD. Appendix G-631 Wendover Field, UT is shown on this map. Only the airfield area is indicated as Wendover Field. The 414,720 acre area across the state line in Nevada is called the Nevada Bombing Range. This area includes the approximately 95,000 acres in Nevada, which is designated as Wendover Air Force Base on some historical maps.

Appendix and G-833
These are audited Real Estate maps of Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, which were drawn in 1952 and were subsequently updated to reflect acquisitions and disposal. Sheet 1 has a tract register for real estate acquired in Utah and sheet 2 has a tract register for real estate acquired in Nevada. These maps provided much if the information used in the Real Estate Analysis. 4.5 AERIAL PHOTO INTERPRETATION Government and contractor personnel conducted an aerial photography database search (see Appendix A-2). The aerial photography retrieved covered the Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field during military use. The imagery acquired is in photographic print format and provides complete stereo coverage of the site. The analyst performed the interpretation using the following source materials: Photo Date 1944 1956 Approximate Scale 1:21,000 1:25,000
The analyst delineated imagery containing important areas on hard copy plots and digitized it using Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) software. The digitized features overlay scanned aerial photography, resulting in the final plates (see Plate 6). The analysis involved using stereo viewing of photography, which allows more accurate identifications than monoscopic interpretations. The resolution and scale of the imagery limited the identification of features discussed in this study. The analyst used the word "probable" when discussing features for which identification is reasonably accurate. The analyst used the term "possible" when identification was not positive, but the object/area matched known features/locations on other sources. Analysis of the aerial photographs referenced the site maps discussed in sections 4.4.1 above. The bold numbers in parentheses referenced in the sub-paragraphs below refer to the feature descriptions on the annotated aerial photography plate. The sub-paragraphs below describe the relevant features identified on the imagery. The measurements of features in the aerial photo analysis are ALL approximations, whether specifically stated or not. Measurements from the photo prints are converted to distances based on the stated accuracy of the imagery, which varies between frames and flight lines. Another factor affecting the measurements of features is the scale of the imagery. At the higher scales, the features being measured are smaller and more difficult to measure. The interpretation measurements are estimated to be within approximately 20% of the actual values. 4.5.1 12 January 1944 Imagery The 1944 aerial imagery covers only the western portion of the airfield during World War II. Numerous small arms ranges are visible on the photos. The ranges are arrayed along
an east-west road south of the airfield. Three single skeet ranges (1, 2, 3) are on the north side of the road facing to the north. On the south side of the road, with a northerly direction of fire, are the other small arms ranges. From the western end of the road, the first range is an oval track (4) approximately 500 feet by 200 feet nearly surrounded by berms. Evidently, this is the Moving Target Range noted in collected documents. The next three small arms ranges (5, 6, 7) all have firing lines approximately 100 feet from the target berms. Two ranges (5, 7) have firing lines approximately 150 feet wide while the middle range (6) is approximately 175 feet wide. These are probably Pistol or 1,000inch Ranges. A road extends southward from one of the small arms ranges (7) approximately 400 feet to a circle (8) with a diameter of approximately 150 feet. It is unclear if this is a range feature as no structures are visible there, but it lies directly behind the berm of the other range. The next ranges to the east are two adjacent known distance rifle ranges (9, 10). The western range (9) has firing lines positioned at 100 yards, 200 yards, and 300 yards. The other range (10) has firing lines at 100 yards and 200 yards. On the north side of the road and opposite the rifle ranges are two linear features (11), each almost 200 feet long. It is unclear if these are range related or not. The entire range area is surrounded by numerous off-road vehicular tracks. East of the ranges the road leads to the ordnance storage area (12), although the full extent of the area is not visible on this imagery.34 4.5.2 May 1956 Imagery The available imagery covers the entire site. The only additional OE feature is the Firing-In-Butt (13) off the eastern runway firing to the east. The full extent of the ordnance storage area is visible including two structures further to the south outside of this FUDS boundary. These are bomb assembly buildings where bomb prototypes or shapes were assembled for used by the 509th Composite Group to train to drop the atomic bombs on Japan. Another feature, outside of this FUDS boundary, is visible about a half mile south of the ranges, near the Nevada-Utah state line. This is the missile launch pad used for testing the JB-2 power-driven bomb for the AMC weapons development program. The other ranges (1-12) visible on the 1944 aerial photos are also visible on these photos. 4.6 INTERVIEWS No additional interviews were conducted for the Archives Search Report Addendum. As reported in the ASR, contact with local law enforcement and military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units resulted in negative incident reports of OE or CWM at this site. All interviewees recalled no past incidents involving OE or CWM on the site.
SITE ELIGIBILITY
5.1 CONFIRMED FUDS 5.1.1 General Based on the 1995 revised INPR, the FUDS acreage for Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field site No. J08UT1001 is 80,102.67 acres of land. This is based on a total acquired stated acreage of 96,996.9 acres of land and retention of 16,894.293 acres by the Air Force for the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). The total acquisition acreage figure originated from the audited Real Estate maps of Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, which began in 1952 and were subsequently updated to reflect acquisitions and disposal. It was these maps that were used to define the site for the DERP FUDS program. The vast majority of the former Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field is located in Nevada (94,720+ acres) and was withdrawn by Public Land Order (PLO) No. 627 in January 1950. The remaining approximately 2,300 acres lies in Utah and concerns the airfield proper. As noted in section 1.2.2, concurrently to preparation of this report, FUDS No. J08UT1001 is being revised to reflect only the airfield portion primarily in Utah with the Nevada property becoming part of a new FUDS site, that includes an additional 313,579 acres that had not been documented by the FUDS program to date (see 5.1.2 Acquisitions discussion below).35 5.1.2 Acquisition The U.S. military acquired the land for the Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field primarily through withdrawals of public lands, with additional smaller tracts being acquired from private owners by purchase or condemnation. Executive Order No. 8652 dated 28 January 1941 added approximately 262,200 acres in Utah to the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range, established by Executive Order No. 8579 in October 1940. This resulted in the Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range covering over 1.8 million acres in Utah. The approximate 2,300 acres for the Wendover airfield was covered by the January 1941 Executive Order.36 The Air Force acquired most of the Nevada property for the Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field by PLO No. 627 dated 11 January 1950 withdrawing approximately 101,141 acres, which is noted on the audited real estate maps. What is not readily apparent from the real estate maps is that PLO No. 627 revoked an earlier and much larger land withdrawal. PLO No. 50 dated 3 November 1942 withdrew approximately 414,720 acres of public land for use of the Department of the Army, including all of the land later included in PLO No. 627 (see Plate 2). An Air Material Command chart of status of bombing and gunnery ranges from 1946 refers to the land withdrawn under PLO No. 50 as the Nevada Bombing Range assigned to Wendover Field. The difference between the two PLOs is an additional 313,579 acres that had not been documented by

the FUDS program prior to this investigation. The U.S. military had use of this additional 313,579 acres for over 7 years, though research done to date has not made clear how most of this land was used.37 5.1.3 Disposals Between 1957 and 1980, the Air Force disposed of approximately 81,760 acres, of the former Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field while retaining 16,894.293 acres for the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). The initial disposal in the late 1950s-early 1960s concerned the return of land to the Department of Interiors (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM). PLO No. 1499, dated 9 September 1957, retransferred approximately 11.8 acres of the land in Nevada withdrawn by PLO No. 627 from the DoD to the DOI effective on 15 October 1957. PLO No. 2498, dated 13 September 1961, retransferred 25.69 acres of the land in Nevada to the DOI. The following year, PLO No. 2774, effective 26 October 1962 returned the bulk of the property, 80,000 acres in Nevada to the DOI.38 On 13 April 1962, two acres of land located in Utah on the Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field property were deeded to the Board of Education of Tooele County School District to be used for educational purposes. This property was located north of the airfield in the housing area.39 In late 1972 the Department of Defense declared the base surplus and ordered its final disposal. On 9 July 1976 the water system and its annexes were transferred to the city of Wendover, UT. On 15 August 1977, the General Services Administration deeded the runways, taxiways, hangers, the hospital complex, and several warehouses, approximately 1,635 acres, to the city of Wendover, UT, by quitclaim deed. The Air Force retained only about 86 acres of the old cantonment area northwest of the flight line and approximately 164 acres on the west side of the base where a radar site was located. In 1980 General Services Administration disposed of the 86 acres of the old cantonment area. Based on a review of available real estate documents, the Department of Defense released Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field with the restriction that it be maintained as an airport.40 5.2 ADDITIONAL CONFIRMED FUDS ACREAGE Based on available information (e.g. historical documents, aerial photos, interviews etc.), the archive search did not identify any additional areas of undocumented military ownership associated with Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. However, when range safety fans or OE potential range cells are drawn for this site, they extend beyond the acquired FUDS boundaries and potentially represent land use by the DoD. The archive
search did not find direct evidence of OE hazards on the real estate contained within these fans beyond the FUDS boundary. The DoD accepts responsibility for remediation of OE hazards resulting from their activities. If DoD OE hazards exist on real estate never acquired, they are generally eligible for cleanup under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program. 5.3 POTENTIAL FUDS As noted in section 5.1.2, acquisitions, the archive search identified an additional 313,579 acres area used by the U.S. military between 1942 and 1950. The additional land resulted from PLO No. 50, dated 3 November 1942, which withdrew approximately 414,720 acres of public land for the Nevada Bombing Range. PLO No. 627 dated 11 January 1950, revoked the earlier withdrawal while retaining approximately 101,141 acres. Recovered material concerning this use has been forwarded separately to Sacramento District to initiate formal identification of this area for the FUDS program.41
VISUAL SITE INSPECTION
6.1 GENERAL PROCEDURES AND SAFETY The research team did not conduct another site inspection as part of this ASR Addendum. The original 1993 ASR should be consulted in regards to this topic. It states the following: The Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, now known as the Wendover Municipal Airport, was surveyed with no evidence of OEW or CWM contamination observed by the survey team. The team inspected the ammunition storage area. The bunkers were clean and some were rented out for storage. There was no evidence of burials or trash in this area. Immediately west of the ammunition area are rifle and pistol ranges. These areas contain expended small arms ammunition, but no complete rounds were discovered. This area has been in use until recently by the city police and sheriff's office. The gun butt on the east of the airfield appeared to contain only expended ammunition .50 cal and smaller. The gas chamber was sold and removed from the property in 1957 and no records exist of any munitions of chemical material having ever been reported as being recovered on any part of this facility.

SITE OE/CWM TECHNICAL DATA
7.1 OE ITEMS HISTORICALLY EXISTING ON SITE The archive search identified small arms and practice bombs as being used at the ranges on Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. The following sections in Appendix D contain Ordnance Technical Data Sheets of typical examplesii of OE items identified with Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field: Page No. Ordnance Technical Data Sheets
Small Arms D-3 Small Arms Bombs D-21 D-22
Bomb, Practice, 100 Pound, M38A2 Spotting Charges, M1A1, M3, M5
Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field also had a gas chamber. Typical gas chamber exercises of the period used CN (Chloracetophenone, a lachrymator or tear gas) to demonstrate improperly adjusted or fitted gas masks. Typically the CN came in capsule form filled with CN. CN particles sting and irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat and have a powerful lachrymatory effect on exposed personnel. Ordnance items stored within the ordnance storage area of Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field included: Inert components Inert bombs Small arms ammunition Pyrotechnics Black powder Chemical bombs Bombs Inert A.C. practice bombs Incendiary components Rockets Fuses Spotting charges Signals and flares
ii These are general descriptions and may not include all the specific variations of a particular ammunition item. This list is compiled from information found regarding the site and may not be comprehensive. Section 7 Site OE/CWM Technical Data Page 25
Ordnance Technical Data Sheets are not included for these items. These items were listed on documents from the 1940s. Other OE related items may have been stored in this area since then.42 7.2 CWM ITEMS HISTORICALLY EXISTING ON SITE The archive search uncovered evidence of the storage and use of CWM at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. The identified CWM consisted of Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS), containing toxic agents used in training. The only type of CAIS confirmed in use at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field was the detonation set, though use of the sniff set seems probable. A comprehensive list of chemical warfare supplies stored at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field was not located. The research did not reveal documentation of troops training or not training with CAIS beyond the presence of the 1 CAIS detonation sets of the 10 authorized at Wendover Field. These kits contained active toxic chemical agents. Reviewed site maps did not locate a toxic gas yard or a gas obstacle course.43 Between 1928 and 1969, the U.S. military fielded three types of Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS) containing toxic agents to be used in training: instructional, detonating and toxic sets. The instructional CAIS, or sniff sets consisted of bottles with very small amounts of CW agent. Troops used them for indoor instruction in identifying the smells associated with each type of agent. Once familiar with the associated smells, subsequent training would use the detonation CAIS in field exercises. The detonation CAIS consisted of a number of sealed glass tubes filled with agent which when statically detonated with blasting caps, would create an agent cloud that soldiers would pass through to further familiarize themselves with the agents based on their odor and other characteristics. The toxic CAIS, fielded in WWII consisted of bottles filled with a few ounces of toxic agent, specifically various types of mustard gas (i.e. H, HD, or HS). The screw type version of the toxic CAIS (i.e. M1) would be used to spread small amounts of agent on a surface, typically a piece of old equipment, for use in detection and decontamination exercises. Occasionally, the entire bottle would be statically detonated to more realistically simulate contamination from munitions. The purpose of the training was still for detection and decontaminate, albeit on a larger scale. Although the CAIS kits included toxic agents such as the H-series mustard and lewisite, they never contained V- or G series nerve agents. Since nerve agents are lethal below levels that can be detected by odor, they could not be used in training aids designed to identify agents by smell. As nerve agents were developed and entered munitions inventories in the late 1940s and 1950s, the value of CW agent identification by smell was significantly marginalized and other detection and protection procedures were incorporated into training and CAIS training diminished. The CAIS kits were replaced by kits, which contained simulants only.

EVALUATION OF ORDNANCE PRESENCE
8.1 GENERAL EVALUATION OF OE AND CWM PRESENCE 8.1.1 Evaluation of OE Presence The archive search uncovered evidence that the Air Force both stored and utilized conventional ordnance at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. OE related training facilities included a practice bombing target and small arms ranges, including a Firing-InButt Range, a Moving Target Range 3 Skeet Ranges, 2 Pistol Ranges, a 1,000-inch Range, and 200 yard and 300 yard Known Distance Ranges. The types of ordnance and explosives used on the site included bombs and small arms. OE storage probably included small arms, pyrotechnics, black powder, incendiary components, inert components, rockets, fuses, spotting charges, signals, flares, and bombs. This information was gathered from historical drawings of the ordnance area and a schedule of buildings. None of the reviewed information indicated any other ordnance related operations at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. The ASR team did not find an overt indication of a current ordnance and explosive hazard at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. 8.1.2 Evaluation of CWM Presence The archive search uncovered evidence that the Air Force utilized CWM at Wendover Field for training. CW training facilities included a gas chamber. CWM included use of CAIS detonation sets and probably also instructional sets, though the training location was not identified. The final disposition of the CAIS sets remains unknown. The possibility of subsurface on site disposal at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field is conceivable. However, the archive search found no information indicating this occurred. Therefore, no identifiable remediation project exists at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field concerning CWM. The ASR concludes No DoD Action Indicated (NDAI) for this portion of the project. 8.2 SITE SPECIFIC AREAS 8.2.1 Military Munitions Response Areas - General Analysis of the information gathered during the archive search identifies the following confirmed and potential OE / CWM Military Munitions Response areas at the former Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field (see Plate 7 Military Munitions Response Areas) for depiction:

A Range Complex is comprised of several similar ranges, which overlap. Range Complex No. 1 consisted of the following sub-ranges: Moving Target Range Pistol Range West 1,000-inch Range Pistol Range East 300 Yard KD Range 200 Yard KD Range
8.2.1.1 MMR Area R01 Firing-In-Butt Range The Wendover Field Firing-In-Butt Range appears to have been a standard earthen embankment just off the taxiway for use by crews to zero, service, and maintain aircraft weapon systems (fixed guns). Few specific details about the Firing-In-Butt Range are known beyond the location shown on available site plans of Wendover Field or later the Wendover Army Air Base, Wendover Air Force Base, Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, Decker Field and Wendover Airport. It is located to the east of the eastern taxiway and it lies about 1-1.5 miles south of I-80 and the town of Wendover, UT on the border with Nevada. It had an eastern direction of fire. Time frame of use is unclear. The range was constructed between April 1942 and June 1945 when it first clearly is delineated on site plans. Similarly, the termination of the range use is not clear. Although the firing line and targets are on the airfield property that
was not surplused until 1976, the required safety fans were not. Range use possibly ended when the Air Force split the airfield and the majority of the Nevada property from the remainder of Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range (WBGR) in 1950. As both remained under Air Force control, range use may have continued until the safety fan parcels were surplused from the WBGR in the late 1950s-early 1960s. The range is clearly discernable on the site plans and available aerial imagery and appears to be a standard design and configuration. Firing-In-Butts typically consisted of a hardstand for aircraft positioning and an earthen berm constructed to the front of the aircraft. The distance from the hardstand was not recorded but 150 feet is a reasonable estimate. 8.2.1.2 MMR Area R02 Skeet Range (3 Position) The Skeet Range (3 position) was one of several small arms ranges located on the south end of the Wendover Field. The range is located about 2 miles due south of I-80 and the town of Wendover, UT on the border with Nevada. Few specific details about the triple position Skeet Range are known beyond the location shown on available site plans of Wendover Field or later the Wendover Army Air Base, Wendover Air Force Base, Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, Decker Field and Wendover Airport. Skeet ranges reportedly existed at Wendover Field in April 1942 when the 306th Bombardment Group (Heavy) was activated there.44 The triple position Skeet Range appears to have been a standard triple position skeet range with three shooting field semi-circle arcs with a 63-foot radius adjacent to one another. The safety fan consists of a three overlapping semi-circle arcs with a 900-foot radius that utilizes the same apex as the shooting field. The termination of the skeet range use is not clear as it conceivably continued throughout the militarys use of the airfield. The entire range fan was within airfield property that was surplused 1976 and turned over to the city of Wendover on 16 June 1976. Range use possibly ended much earlier, potentially coinciding with the separation of the airfield and the majority of the Nevada property from the remainder of Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range in 1950. Strategic Air Command (SAC) deactivated Wendover Field in 1948 and declared it excess to its needs after 30 September 1949. SAC retained possession of the bombing and gunnery range, while on 1 July 1950, the Army Material Command (AMC) re-acquired use of the Wendover Air Base. 8.2.1.3 MMR Area R03 Bombing Target Photos from 30 May 1941 show a bomb target located in what was later the runway area of Wendover Field. A history of the 423rd Bombardment Squadron (H) indicates that Wendover Field had been the bombing target for the Salt Lake City Army Air Base prior
to the arrival of the first unit on 12 August 1941. Use of the target appears to have ended with the completion of the northeast-southwest runway in 1941. Although OE will be concentrated around the target, evidence of bombing is almost always found beyond the scoring arcs. OE debris is typically found throughout the entire property and on occasion beyond the property boundaries. The Characterization Acreage was calculated to extend beyond the target center 3,000 feet, for a total of 649 acres [(Pi*(3,000)**2)/5280**2*640]. Many factors affect targeting accuracy, such as altitude and flight speed, all of which are unknown. From studies completed in WWII, 99 percent of the bombs should be found with 3,000 feet for bombers flying at 25,000 feet or below at speeds up to 250 mph. The same study implied a 2,000 foot radius should include 95 percent of the bombs under the same conditions. 8.2.1.4 MMR Area R04 Range Complex No. 1 The Wendover Field Range Complex No. 1 consisted of six small arms ranges located on the south end of the Wendover Field. The range is located about 2 miles due south of I 80 and the town of Wendover, UT on the border with Nevada. Few specific details about Range Complex No. 1 are known beyond the location shown on available site plans of Wendover Field or later the Wendover Army Air Base, Wendover Air Force Base, Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, etc. A small-bore range (possibly the 1,000 inch Range) and a moving target range reportedly existed at Wendover Field in April 1942 when the 306th Bombardment Group (Heavy) was activated there. However, design drawings for the 200 Yard Known Distance (KD) Range to be constructed dont occur until July 1943, which is a few months after construction begins on the extensive small arms range complex at the ground gunnery school about 3 miles northeast of the airfield cantonment area on the adjacent Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range FUDS. The other 4 ranges are not depicted on the key plan, so they potentially were constructed later.45 The Wendover Field Range Complex No. 1 consisted of 6 ranges with a southerly direction of fire and were laid out west to east as follows: Moving Target Range Pistol Range West 1,000-inch Range Pistol Range East 300-Yard KD Range 200-Yard KD Range
All the ranges are clearly discernable on the site plans and available aerial imagery and appear to be standard designs and configurations. The termination of the range use is not clear. Although the firing lines and targets are on the airfield property that was not surplused until 1976, the required safety fans were not. Range use possibly ended when the Air Force split the airfield and the majority of the Nevada property from the remainder of Wendover Bombing and Gunnery Range (WBGR) in 1950 (Strategic Air Command (SAC) retained the WBGR and Army Material Command (AMC) re-acquired use of the Wendover air base). As both remained under AF control, range use may have continued until the safety fan parcels were surplused from the WBGR in the late 1950s-early 1960s. 8.2.2 Non-Military Munitions Response Areas Analysis of the information gathered during the archive search identifies the following confirmed and potential OE / CWM non-Military Munitions Response areas at the former Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field: Table 8.2.2 Non-Military Munitions Response Areas - General Storage Areas or Indoor Acreage OE/CWM Related OE/CWM Potential (est.)

SMALL-ARMS AMMUNITION
General. Small-arms ammunition, as used herein, describes a cartridge or families of cartridges intended for use in various types of hand-held or mounted weapons through 30 millimeter. Within a caliber designation, these weapons may include one or more of the following: rifles (except recoilless), carbines, pistols, revolvers, machineguns and shotguns. For purposes of this publication, small-arms ammunition may be grouped as cartridges intended primarily for combat or training purposes (API, HEI, tracer or ball); for training purposes only (blank or dummy); or for special purposes (rifle grenade or spotter-tracer). Refer to TM 9-1306-200 for more detailed information on small-arms ammunition. Cartridges.In general, a small-arms cartridge is identified as an assembly of a cartridge case, primer, a quantity of propellant within the cartridge case, and a bullet or projectile. Blank and rifle grenade cartridges are sealed with paper closure disks in lieu of bullets. Dummy cartridges are composed of a cartridge case and a bullet. Some dummy cartridgescontain inert granular materials to simulate the weight and balance of live cartridges. A typical cartridge and the terminology of its components are shown in figure 1. Case. Although steel, aluminum, zinc and plastic materials have been used experimentally,brass, a composition of 70 percent copper and 30 percent zinc, is the most commonly used material for cartridge cases. Steel, as well as brass, is an approved material for caliber .45 cartridge cases. Brass, paper and plastic are used for 12 gage shotshellbodies. Aluminum is used for militarytype .410 gage shotshell bodies. Configurationsof cartridges and bullets are illustrated in figures 2 through 9.

WendoverAir Force Auxiliary Field Wendover, UT Archives Search Report Addendum Propellant. Cartridges are loaded with varying weights of propellant. This is to impart sufficient velocity (within safe pressures) to the projectile to obtain the required ballistic performance. These propellants are either of the single-base (nitrocellulose)or double-base (nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine) type. The propellant grain configuration may be cylindrical with a single, lengthwise perforation, spheroid (ball) or flake. Most propellants are coated with a deterrent (to assist in controlling the rate of combustion) and with a final coating of graphite (to facilitate flow of propellant and eliminate static electricity in loading cartridges). Primer. Small-arms cartridges contain either a percussion or electric primer. The percussion primer consists of a brass or gilding metal cup that contains a pellet of sensitive explosive material secured by a paper disk and a brass anvil. The electric primer consists of an electrode button in contact with the priming composition, a primer cup assembly and insulator. A blow from the firing pin of the weapon on the center of the percussion primer cup base compresses the primer composition between the cup and the anvil. This causes the composition to explode. The function of the electric primer is accomplished by a firing pin with electricalpotential, which contacts the electrode button. This allows current to flow through the energy-sensitive priming composition to the grounded primer cup and cartridge case, exploding the priming composition. Holes or vents in the anvil or closure cup allow the flame to pass through the primer vent in the cartridge case and ignite the propellant. Rimfire ammunition, such as the caliber .22 cartridge, does not contain a primer assembly. Instead, the primer composition is spun into the rim of the cartridge case and the propellant is in intimate contact with the composition. On firing, the f ~ n g pin strikes the rim of the cartridge case, compressing the primer composition and initiating its explosion. Bullet. With few exceptions, bullets through caliber .50 are assemblies of a jacket and a lead or steel core. They may contain other components or chemicals which provide the terminal ballistic characteristicsof the bullet type. The bullet jacket may be either gliding metal, gliding-metal clad steel, or copper plated steel. Caliber .30 and 7.62mm frangible bullets are molded of powdered lead and a friable plastic which pulverizes into dust upon impact with the target. The pellets used in the shotgun shells are spheres of lead alloys varying from 0.08 inch to 0.33 inch in diameter.

WendoverAir Force Auxiliary Field Wendover, UT Archives Search Report Addendum Ball Cartridge. The ball cartridge is intended for use in rifles, carbines, pistols, revolvers and/or machineguns against personnel and unarmored targets. The bullet, as designed for general purpose combat and training requirements, normally consists of a metal jacket and a lead slug. Caliber .50 ball bullet and 7.62-mm, Ball M59 bullet contain soft steel cores. Tracer Cartridge. By means of a trail of flame and smoke, the tracer cartridge is intended to permit visible observation of the bullet's in-flight path or trajectory and the point of impact. It is used primarily to observe the line of fire. It may also be used to pinpoint enemy targets to ignite flammable materials and for signalingpurposes. The tracer element consists of a compressed, flammable,pyrotechnic composition in the base of the bullet. This composition is ignited by the propellant when the cartridge is fired. In flight, the bullet emits a bright flame which is visible to the gunner. Trace burnout occurs at a range between 400 and 1,600yards, depending upon the caliber of ammunition. Match Cartridge. The match cartridge is used in National and International Match Shooting competitions. The bullet consists of a gliding-metaljacket over a lead slug. The cartridges are identified on the head face with the designation NM (National Match) or Match. Armor-Piercing Cartridges. The armor-piercing cartridge is intended for use in machine-guns or rifles against personnel and light armored and unarmored targets, concrete shelters, and similar bullet-resisting targets. The bullet consists of a metal jacket and a hardened steel-alloy core. In addition, it may have a base filler and/or a point filler of lead. Armor-Piercing-Incendia~Cartridge. The armor-piercing-incendiarycartridge is used in rifles or machineguns as a single combination cartridge in lieu of separate armor-piercing and incendiary cartridges. The bullet is similar to the armor-piercingbullet, except that the point filler is incendiary mixture instead of lead. Upon impact with the target, the incendiary mixture burst into flame and ignites flammable material. Armor-Piercing-Incendiary Tracer Cartridge. The bullet of the arrnor-piercing- incendiary-tracer cartridge combines the features of the armor-piercing, incendiary, and tracer bullets and may be used to replace those cartridges. The bullet consists of a hard steel core with compressed pyrotechnic mixture in the cavity in the base of the core. The core is covered by a gilding-metal jacket with incendiary mixture between the core point and jacket. This cartridge is for use in caliber .50 weapons only. Duplex Cartridge. The duplex cartridge contains two special ball type bullets in tandem. The front bullet is positioned partially in the case neck, similarly to a standard ball bullet. The rear bullet, positioned completely within the case, is held in position by a compressed propellant charge. The base of the rear bullet is angled so that in flight, it follows a path slightly dispersed from that of the front bullet. Spotter-Tracer Cartridge. The spotter-tracer cartridge is intended for use in coaxially mounted caliber .50 spotting rifles. The bullet trajectory closely approximates that of 106mmprojectiles. Thus, this cartridge serves as a fire control device to verify weapon sight settings before firing 106mmweapons. The bullet contains an impact detonator and incendiary composition which identify the point of impact by flash and smoke.
WendoverAir Force Auxiliary Field Wendover, UT Archives Search Report Addendum Blank Cartridge. The blank cartridge is distinguished by absence of a bullet. It is used for simulated fire, in training maneuvers, and for saluting purposes. It is fired in rifles and machineguns equipped with blank firing attachments. Grenade Cartridge. The grenade cartridge is used to propel rifle grenades and ground signals from launchers attached to rifles or carbines. All rifle grenade cartridges are distinguishedby the rose petal (rosette crimp) closure of the case mouth. Frangible Cartridge. The caliber .30 frangible cartridge, designed for aerial target training purposes, is also used in rifles and machineguns for target shooting. Caliber .30 and 7.62mm frangible cartridges are used in tank machineguns, firing single shot, for training in tank gunnery. At its normal velocity, the bullet, whch is composed of powdered lead and friable plastic, will completely disintegrate upon striking a 3116-inch aluminum alloy plate at 100 yards from the muzzle of the gun. These cartridges are not to be used on any but well ventilated indoor ranges to preclude buildup of toxic bullet dust. Inhalation of bullet dust may be injurious to health. Incendiary Cartridge. The incendiary cartridge was designed for aircraft and ground weapon use to ignite combustible targets (e.g., vehicular and aircraft fuel tanks). The bullet contains a compressed incendiary mixture which ignites upon impact with the target. The incendiary cartridge has been supersededby the API and APIT cartridges because of their improved terminal ballistic effects. Special Purpose Cartridge Cartridges of various calibers. (figures. 10 through 12), which consist of different types of projectiles and bullets, are used for training and special purposes. They include the following: (1) (2) Caliber .22 long rifle and caliber .38 and .45 wad-cutter cartridge for target shooting. Caliber .45 blank cartridges fired in exercises to condition dogs to gun fire.
Caliber .22 hornet and .410 shotgun cartridges for firing in Air Force combination (3) (survival) weapons for hunting purposes. Caliber.45 line-throwing cartridges for firing in caliber .45 line-throwingrifles. The (4) Navy uses these for throwing lines from ship-to-ship. The Army Signal Corps uses these for projecting signal wires over elevated terrain.

Special purpose cartridges also include the following types of military cartridges:
(I) Dummy. The dummy cartridge is used for practice in loading weapons and simulated f ~ n to g detect flinching of personnel when firing weapons. It consists of a cartridge case and a ball bullet. Cartridge identification is by means of holes through the side of the case or longitudinal corrugations in the case and by the empty primer pocket.
(2) Dummy inert-loaded. This cartridge consists of a cartridge case, a ball bullet and inert granular material in the case simulating the weight and balance of a live cartridge. The exterior of the cartridge is identified by a black chemical finish and by the absence of a primer. This cartridge is used by installations for testing weapon function, linkage and feed chutes.
(3) High-pressure test. High-pressuretest ammunition is specially loaded to produce pressures substantially in excess of the maximum average or individual pressures of the corresponding service cartridge. This cartridge is not for field issue. It is used only by armorers and weapons mechanics for proof firing of weapons (rifles, pistols, machine guns) at place of manufacture, test and repair. Because of excessive pressures developed by this type of ammunition, and the potential danger involved in fring, proofing of weapons is conducted only by authorized personnel from fixed and shielded rests by means of a lanyard or other remote control methods.
Metallic Links and Clip

Metallic link. (figures. 13 and 14) are used with caliber .30, caliber .50, 5.56mm, 7.62mm and 20mm cartridges in machine guns. The links are made of steel, surface treated for rust prevention. They are used to assemble cartridges into linked belts of 100 to 750 cartridgesper belt. The links must meet specific test and dimension requirements to assure satisfactory ammunition feed and functioning in the machine gun under all training and combat service conditions. Different conJgurations of cartridge clips. These permit unitized packages of ammunition. This facilitates transfer of cartridges to appropriate magazines for caliber .30,7.62mm and 5.56rnmrifles. The caliber .30 eight-round clip feeds eight cartridges as a unit into the receiver of the rifle. The caliber .45 clip feeds three cartridges as a unit into the revolver cylinder. Five-round and eight-round clips are used with caliber .30 cartridges; five-round clips with 7.62mm cartridges; ten- round clips with caliber .30 carbine and 5.56-mm cartridges; and three-round clips with caliber .45 cartridges.

WAR GAS IDENTIFICATION SET, INSTRUCTIONAL, M1 (K951/K952)
Use. Designed to be used outdoors. The gas tubes would be detonated, creating an agent cloud. Soldiers would then try to identify the agent based on its odor and other characteristics. Description. The K95 1/952 Chemical Agent Identification Set (CAIS) contained 48 Pyrex, flame sealed ampules, 12 each containing 1.4 ounce solution of Mustard (H, 5% in chloroform) Lewisite (L, 5% in chloroform), Chloropicrin (PS, 50% in chloroform), and Phosgene (CG) for a total of 26 fluid ounces n diameter and 7-1/2 inches (0.768 liters) of agent, less the chloroform, per set. Each ampoule is 1 inch j long. Each ampoule is packed in a cardboard screw cap container (mailing tube type) with agent type indicated by letters on the cardboard container. Twelve (12) cardboard containers each are packaged jnto 4 press fit metal cans, which are 9-1/4 inches hgh. The cans are packed into a steel cylinder 6-5/8 inches in diameter, approximately 38 inches long and 0.145 inches thick. 'A flanged end cover that is secured by eight bolts closes the open end of the cylinder. The only difference between the K95 1 and Kg52 is that the K95 1 was issued with blasting caps that were packed and shipped in a separate contajner. The amount of agent and solvent in each ampule is: H - 2 ml agent; 38 ml Chloroform L - 2 ml Agent; 28 ml Chloroform PS - 20 ml Agent; 20 ml Chloroform l Chloroform CG - 40 rnl Agent; 0 m The K95 1 ampules (also called vials) are frequently found in burial sites at old WWII: training areas. They are sometimes found loose, sometimes found in the origmal steel cylinders (also called tPigs"), and are sometimes found in drums, cans, or other disposal containers. When found loose, the a g q t type cannot be readily identified without sophisticated spectrographic equipment, and a worst-case: assumphon of phosgene shouId be made by field personnel.

SITE SURVEY SUMMARY SHEET FOR DEW-FUDS SITE NO. J08UT100100 Wendover AP Auxiliary Field
Site #I: Two abandoned atom bomb loading pits are located on the east side of the airport and along the east taxiway (Figure 3, Item B). The bomb loading pits were constructed in 1944and are approximately 15'x 8 ' x 6' deep; and, 25'x 8' x 6' deep. Reportedly, the military did not use these pits following a few unsuccessll attempts at loadiing one of the bombers. One of the pits is partially filled with water. The pits have not been beneficially used and therefore are eligible for the FUDS program. The pits are not covered and may present a drowning hazard, and therefore are recommended for demolition under the BDDR program. There is also a possibility of residual Iltdioactive contaminationthat should be investigated under the FUDS program. Site #2: Two atom bomb loading pits equipped with hydraulic lifts were constructed in 1945(Figure 3, Item A) on the parking apron approximately 100 feet south of the Enola Gay Hangar (Building 1831). These bomb loading pits replaced those described in the above paragraph as Site #I. One of the bomb loading pit Iocations was identifiedby the survey team as a 12 by 15 foot concretepatch in the parking apron. The location of the second bomb loading pit was not evident. Reportedly, the hydraulic lift was removed from one of the bomb loading pits in 1946 and sent to Kirtland Air Force Base. Both bomb loading pits were then filled in and the surfacing of the parking apron restored. The second pit should be located and confinned that it has been filled in. Both pits should be examined for residual contamination. The pits have not been beneficialIy used and thus are eligible for the FUDS program. Site #3: An aboveground steel fuel storage tank with an approximate storage capacity of 300 gallons is located outside of and against the west wall of the Alert Building (42 1) approximately 200 feet west of the Airport Tower (Figure 4). The tank rests on a concrete cradle four feet above the ground surface. According to Wendover A i i r t Manager, Chris Melville (July 1995) the tank was used by "The Sweat Shop" to store furnace oil to heat the building but has not been used for more than a year. Due to subsequent non-DOD beneficial use, Site #3 would not be eligible for the rmDS program.
Site #4: The former Base Gasoline Station (Building 1029) is located at the intersection of 5th and C Streets and contains two concrete fuel dispenser islands and a 5000-gallon gasoline UST (Figure 4). The structure is in poor condition. According to Wendover Airport Manager Chris Melville (July 1995) the UST has not been used since the air force transferred the property. Thus Site #4 is eligible for the FUDS program.
FOR
DEW-FUDS SITE NO. JOSUTlOOlOO Wendover AF Auxiliary Field Site #5: The remnants of a former gasoline dispenser is located at the intersection of 1lth and B Streets and on current United States Air Force property (Figure 4). The concrete remains of a fuel dispenser and a surface depression resembling an excavated area 20 feet north of the dispenser are evident. All areas of this site are currently occupied by the Air Force and are not eligible for remediation under the Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) program. Site #6: An aircraft fueldispensing station (Building 403) and an aircraft fuel UST are located approximately 450 feet northwest of the Airport Tower (Figure 4). The exact size of the UST is not known at this time but it is thought to be 5,000 or 10,000 gallons. The UST is located underneath newer, aboveground aircraft fuel tanks. According to Wendover Airport Manager, Chris Melville (July 1995)the UST has never been used since DOD ownership and thus Site #6 is eligible for the FUDS program. Site #7: This designation is not used. Site #S: The Fuel Tank Farm (POL Area 200) is located on the west side of the cantonment area, north of A Street and west of 2nd Street (Figure 4). The fuel tank farm contains six 25,000-gallon fuel USTs and three 50,000-gallon fuel USTs installedby the military between 1942 and 1943. The original use of the USTs was the storage of gasoline and aircraft fuels in support of base operations. The City of Wendover acquired the fuel tank farm property from the United States Government in 1976. The USTs were not used by the City of Wendover, however, on 15 July 1979 the Pacific Intermountain Express Company (PIE) signed a one year lease with the City of Wendover for the use of the fuel t a n k farm property. According to Chris Melville (October, 1995) not all tanks were used by PIE - they only used the 3 - 50,000 gallon UST's for diesel fuel storage. Except for PIE'S use of the 3 tanks at the t a n k farm, the remaining 6 - 25,000 gallon tanks have not been beneficially used since DOD occupation. Thus,removal of the 6 - 25,000 gallon UST's is recommended under the FUDS program. Three fuel lines lead from the fuel t a n k farm. One fix1 line leads to a tanker truck fill stand and another to a gasoline dispenser island and the third leads to fueling pit boxes located along the anchorage (Site #22). The gas dispenser island and tanker truck fill stand are located approximately 250 feet east of the fuel tank farm. According to Airport Manager C h r i s Melville (July, 1995), the gas dispenser island was bulldozed by Beehive Telephone when they leased the adjacent property. The pile of debris is still sitting on the property. Mr. Melville states that all three fuel limes have not been used since the DOD occupied the site. There is a possiblility that fuel remains in the lines and thus they are recommended for removal under the FUDS program.

A 4.3 acre parcel of land is located south of the fuel tank farm. The city returned this land to the GSA because the land transfer agreement stated that the land had to be used for recreational purposes and the city wants to use it for airport purposes (see Figure 4). The parcel of land containsthe old base swimming pool (that has an asbestos problem), tanks associated w i t h the swimming pool, a bath house, and the pipelie @art of Site #8) that extends from the fuel fann. The other buildings placed on the parcel by the DOD, no longer exist. The city is in the process of trying to get the land use requirement changed so the land can be transferred back to them. The structuresremaining on this parcel of land have been beneficially used except the fuel line. Thus, only the fuel lime is eligible for the FUDS program.
Site #9: A Signal Tower (Building 2238) is located on the west side of 1lth Street and approximately 500 feet north of D Street and contains a diesel fuel oil UST (size unknown) on the north side of the signal tower and generator foundations pigure 4). The UST was installed by the military and thought to be used solely by the military. Thus site #9 is eligible for the FUDS program. Site #lo: A diesel fuel oil UST (size unknown) is located north of Building 428 (Storage Shed) and adjacent to the Airport Tower (Figure 4). According to Steve Mueller (City of Wendover Maintenance Operations), the UST is associated with the Electric Switch and Generator structures(Site #13: Buildings 427 and 430) that are located on both sides of Building 428. The UST was installed by the miliiary and thought to be used solely by the military. Thus it is eligible for the FUDS program. Site #11: A former military salvage yard measuring approximately 350 feet by 700 feet is located on current United States Air Force property (Figure 4). The area of the former salvage yard is currently occupied i r Force Base and Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) personnel and is used as a radar by Hill A tracking and search facility. The Air Force property encompasses 157.4 acres and is bordered by 1Ith Street to the west, the Union Pacific Railroad tracks to the north, and A Street to the south. The east side of the property is on the salt flats. The radar site was estabtied in the late 1970s in support of military activities at the Utah Test and Training Range. The salvageyard was used by the military from the early 1940suntil approximately 1960. In the 1970s, most of the debris at the salvage yard was moved to an area west and south of Building 3917 (between 13th and 14th Streets, and A and B Streets)prior to construction of the radar facility. In 1984, a scrap metal recycling company removed the debris fromthe Air Force property. The remains of the salvage yard are still identifiableas a large gravel patch littered with scattered pieces of wood, clay, pipes, metal, wire, and brick. A concrete pad

DERP-FUDS SITE NO. J08UT100100

measuring 15 feet by 50 feet with an outlet pipe is located on the former salvage yard adjacent to the north fence of the radar facility. The pad resembles the remains of a wash rack, although that is not confirmed. A 1000-gallon diesel fuel oil UST is located at the radar facility approximately 20 feet north of the generator building and is maintained by CSC. The UST was installed by the Air Force prior to Wendover AFB closure. Site #11 is not eligible for the FUDS program because of current DOD occupation and beneficial use by CSC.
Site #12: A landfill located near Wendover AFAF (see Figure 2) and on current Air Force property (the Utah Test and Training Range), was reportedly used by the military, the City of Wendover, and Elko County &omthe early 1940suntil approximately 1975. The landfill is located in Nevada approximately 0.75 miles west of the Nevada-Utah border and approximately 0.25 miles south of Highway 93. The l a n d f i l l is 10-12 feet thick and encompasses approximately 100 acres. The types of debris observed on the surface included broken bottles, metal cans, wood, sheet metal, spent ammunition shells, and concrete rubble. According to the Wendover Public Safety Office, there have been no reported incidents involving live ordnance in the area. The landfill is not eligible for remediation under the FUDS program because it is on current DOD property.
Site #13: The Electric Switch Building (Bldg.427) is located just south of the Airport Tower (Figure 4). Mr. Steve Mueller (City of Wendover Maintenance Operations) reported that all of the base electric transformerswere removed by the power utility company and stored at the Power Plant (Site #15) and the Electric Switch Building. The transformers were then removed and disposed of by US PC1 (an environmentalcompany) in the late 1980's. The survey team found no visible evidence of PCB contaminationat Site #I 3. According to Wendover Airport Manager Chris Melville (July 1995), Site #13 is currently used by the local Fixed Based Operator for storage and a shop. Though there is no visible surface staining in the vicinity, former military practices and operations a t this site suggest possible HTRW contaminationand should be examined under the FUDS program.
Site #14: The Motor Vehicle Repair Shops (Bldg. 1025 & 1027) are located on the west side of 5th Street, between B & C Streets (Figure 4). Building 1027 contains two hydraulic lifi systems and a floor drain. There is no evidence of UST's or fluid reservoirs in the vicinity of the motor vehicle repair shops. Currently, according to Chris Melville (July '95), building 1025 and 1027 are used for car maintenance, a lumber hardware store, and private offices. Fonner military operations at this site suggest possible HTW contaminationand should be examined under the FUDS program.

Site #15: The Power Plant (Building 207) was constructed in 1941, and is located on the south side of the west end of B Street (Figure 4). It was built during the first year of base operations to provide electrical power to the entire base and the bombing and gunnery range. The interior equipment included three compressors, six heat exchangers, six metered fuel tanks,two electric pumps, overhead hoist way, meters, tanks,electricpanels, and a restroom. There are currently several debris piles located outside of the structure. The debris includes 55-gallon d m , transformers casings, sheet metal, paper, cardboard, office furniture, and electrical insulators. Surface stainingfrom oils and grease was evident inside and outside of the structure. Three AST's estimated at 15,000 gallons are located in the basement of the building. They are suspected to have stored diesel fuel for the generators. There is a considerable amount of fuel on the ground beneath the tanks. Two steel 25,000-gallon diesel fuel oil underground storage tanks (USTs) located southwest of the power plant (Fig. 4) were excavated by Shelton Construction Company in 1987. The tanks are located on land owned by Shelton Construction Company. They are in the process of cutting the steel tanks for use in the gravel and construction business. According to Dave Shelton, associated piping in the direct vicinity of the tanks was also removed. Mr. Sheltonreported that soil contamination was not evident at the time of UST removal, therefore, no soil or groundwater sampling was performed. An underground storage tank closure report was not required at the time of excavation, therefore, no closure report was filed with the Tooele County Environmental Health Department. The survey team observed holes in both UST's indicating the possibility of leakage. Wendover A i o r t Manager, Chris Melville stated (July, 1995)that the Power Plant Building has not been used since DOD occupation. Thus,Site #15 is eligible for the FUDS program. Site #16: During active base operations (1940-1960), there were two sewer systems in-place. One system ,(Fig. 3, Item C) served the eastern half of the base with an outfall onto the salt flats 2000 feet southeast of the cantonment area. The outfall drained southeastward over the salt f l a t sand over a narrow area approximately 4000 feet long creating intricate finger-like drainage patterns to the east of the airport. It is possible that contaminants from on-base maintenance operations may have collected in this area. According to Wendover Airport Manager Chris Melville (July 1995),the transport l i e s for the system are currently used. The city built 5 new ponds in the late 70's for the system. The old discharge area by these new ponds is used in the winter months. Thus due to non-DOD beneficial use, this site is not eligible for FUDS.
Site #17:
FOR

The second sewer system, (Fig. 3, Item H) served the western half of the base and utilized a sewage (wastewater) treatment plant facility located along Stateline Road (west side of the airport) approximately 0.5 miles south of the cantonment area. Wastewater from the base was treated at this facility with the discharge point located approximately 2500 feet south-southwest of the facility. Two sludge ponds were observed at the wastewater treatment facility. Currently, sewage disposal for the Utah side of the airport is provided by sewageponds east of the airport. Sewage disposal for the Nevada side of the airport is provided by an evaporativelagoon system built in the early 1980s. According to Wendover Auport Manager Chris Melville (October, 1995) the sewage treatment facility is non-operational and currently a small stream of sewage flows into it without being treated and eventually does flow out to the two sludge ponds. A moratorium has been placed on the transport lines by the City and the city is planning to put in a sewage Lift station that ties the buildings that are hooked up to these lines to the existing city sewer system. Due to beneficial use, the 2 sludge ponds would not be eligible for the FUDS program.
Site #18: The wash and grease racks (Buildings 1013 & 1014) are also located on the west side of 5th St. between B & C Streets (Figure 4). The grease rack was dismantled in 1986. A concrete slab is left along with a channelthat received the wash water and vehicle drainage. There is no visible staining at either the grease or wash rack. Site #18, according to Chris Melville (July, 1995) is currently used for private businesses and a car impound yard. Former military operations at this site suggest possible HTRW contamination and should be examined under the FUDS program.
Site #19:
Only the foundations are remaining of the 3 former bomb assembly buildings. Two of the foundations are located south of Wendover on current DOD property that consists of Wendover Air Force Range, which is a subpart of the U t a h Test and Training Range (Figure 3, items D&E). The third bomb assembly building (Figure 3, Item F) is not on current DOD property and is thus eligible for FUDS. There are scattered deb* piles at both areas but no evidence of surface contamination.
Site #20: Reportedly, there are two ordnance disposal areas located on the Utah Test and Training Range property (the Nevada side) approximately four miles southwest of Wendover AFAF. One of the disposal areas is reportedly located approximately 3000 feet east of Highway 93. No evidence was found indicating a disposal site. The only features evident were historic lake bed deposits and undisturbed terrain. A second disposal area is reportedly located approximately 2.5 miles east of Highway 93 and 1.5 miles west of the Utah-Nevada state l i e (Figure 1). The area is within the Utah

Test and Training Range and access to the area by the survey team was not possible without authorization from range control. Due to current DOD ownership, this second area is not eligible for the FUDS program.
Site #21: Located to the south of Wendover AFAF and on current DOD property is Wendover Air Force Range, which is a subpart of the Utah Test and Training Range. Located on this property were the following structurest h a t during World War II were diiectly related to Wendover Air Force Base: The V-1 Firing Ramps consistingof two rows of concrete piers (Figure 3, Item G) and an underground bunker, both associated with the V-1 buzz bomb testing program (1945) are evident at the site. Site #21 is not eligible for the FUDS program because it is on current DOD property.
Site #22: Two rows of aircraft fueling pit-boxes (approximately 60 feet apart in an east-west alignment) were observed along the airport parking apron: the first containing 10 fueling pit boxes and the 2nd row consisting of 12 fueling pit boxes (Figure 4). The pits are 4 feet deep and are covered. According to Airport Manager Chris Melville (July 1995), a fuel line (part of Site #8) runs from the fuel tank farm (also part of Site #8) to these boxes. The historical sources contacted state that aircraft were not fueled at the fuel pit-boxes, but rather by tanker truck. These pits have not been beneficially used and thus are eligible for the FUDS program.
Site # 23: A transformer is located adjacent to building 2208 (Figure 4). According to Wendover Airport Manager Chris Melville (October, 1995) it looks like the old base transformers that were removed f h m the site and were replaced in the 1980's. It is not clear whether the transformer has been beneficially used and should be further investigated. Site #24: Three AST's are located adjacent to the swimmingpool and were used to store pool chemicals (Figure 4). According to Wendover Airport Manager, Chris Melville, the pool and tanks were beneficially used by the community. Currently, the swimming pool is no longer used because of its dilapidated condition. The City of Wendover has returned the 4.3 acre fenced off pool area to the General Services Administration because the land transfer agreement stated that this parcel of land is required to be used for park purposes. The City wants to use it for Airport puposes. The AST's are not eligible for the FUDS program because of their beneficial use.

From 25 October to 04 November 1976,2249 acres of property within the boundary of Wendover AFAF including the V-1 rocket launch sites and a 1.5 mile wide area on the Nevada side of State Line Road was cleared of ordnance by an explosive ordnance disposal (END) team. On 04 November 1976, a certificate and report of clearance were prepared by the United States Air Force. The types of ordnance collectedby the END team included practice bombs, shotgun shells, flares, smoke grenades, .30 and -38caliber rounds, rocket propellant, and incendiary bombs. The suspected ordnance disposal areas described in Site #20 were not part of the 1976 END investigation. No evidence of OEW was observed in the Wendover AFAF area (Archive Search Report, Dec. 1993)and a RAC 4 was assigned to the Aiield. However, the Archives search report does recommend further investigationat the former Special Weapons Bombing Range (site no. JOIUTI 101) and the Bomb and Gunnery Range (Site No. J08UT1097), which are both located adjacent to the Wendover Auxiliary Airfield.
CATEGORY OF HAZARDS:
BDIDR, CONtHTRW, HTRW.
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS:
There are three potential projects identified at this site:
1. BDDR--The hazards on the site include the fust set of atom bomb loading pits Site #1 (Figure 3, Item B) constructed on the east side of the airport.
An Archive Search Report dated Jahuary, 1994 was performed by CEHND. A RAC 4 was assigned to the Wendover Auxiliary Airfield. The RAC form is attached. On page 8-2 of the report, a limited BDlDR project is recommended to remove miscellaneous ordnance debris. Coordination with CEHND is required for this project.
CON/HTRW-This project consists of the removal of a total of 10 UST's and 3 AST's and associated piping as well as the 3 fuel lines extending from Site #8. Soil testing is to be performed in the vicinity of each tank and along areas of the associated piping. Site #4: Base Gas Station - removal of one 5000 gallon UST along with a) associated piping Site #6: Fuel UST - removal of one UST (5000 or 10,000 gallons) with associated b) piping.

A total of 96,330.07 public domain (PD) acres were acreage for Wendover A transferred as follows: 94,720 acres Public Land Order (PLO); 1,581.81 acres Executive Order GO); and 28.26 acres Use Permit (UP). Furthermore, there were 2.0 acres fee; 2.67 acres easements; and 0.87 acres licenses for atotal of 96335.61 acres transferred. In addition, the following acres were acquired: 207.91 acres fee; 371.66 acres leased, 79.28 acres lesser interest licenses; and 2.44 acres lesser interest easements. A total of 96,996.90 acres were acquired for the site.
2. The site, Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field, is locatedjust south of the town of Wendover, Utah which is 110 miles east of Elko, Nevada and 133miles west of Salt Lake C i t y ,U t a h . During World War II, the Army A i r Corps used the site primarily as a training facility for the crews of B-17, B-24, and B-29 bombers. The post war era shifted the defense missions, under jurisdiction of the Department of the Air Force, to weapons development,a gunnery and mobility staging area, and i r Force Reserve units. At one time, summer encampments for various National Guard and A improvements to the site numbered approximately 668 buildings, m a n y of wooden f?me construction. There were administration and housing facilities, a hospital, machine and maintenance shops, hangars, and warehouses.

The site is located just south of the C i t y of Wendover, Umh which is 110 LOCATION: miles east of Eko, Nevada and 133 miles west of Salt Lake City, Utah (Figures 1 and 2). SITE HTSTORY: Between 1940 and 1960, the United States of America (USA) transferred and acquired acreage for Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field. A total of 96,330.07 public domain (PD) acres were transferred as follows: '94,720 acres Public Land Order ( ? L O ) ; ' 1Jtl.8 1 acres Exyutive Order 0); and 28.26 acres U s e Permit (UP). Furthennore, there were 2.0 acra fee; 2.67 acres easements; and3.87 acres licenses for a total of 96,335.61 acres transferred. In addition, the following acres were acquired:' 207.91 acres fee; '37 1.64 acres leased;"79.28 acres lesser interest licenses; and 2.44 acres lesser interest easements. A total of 96,996.90 acres were acquired for the site.
During World War 11, the Army Air Corps used the site primarily as a training facility for the crews of B-17, B-24, and B-29 bombers. The post war era shifted the defense missions, under jurisdiction of the Department of the Air Force, to weapons development, a gunnery and mobility staging area, and summer encampments for various National Guard .and Air Force Reserve units. By the end of 1943, improvements to the site numbered approximately 668 buildings, many of wooden frameconstruction. T h e r e were administrationand housing facilities, a hospital, machine and m a i n t e n a n c e shops, hangars, and warehouses. ,
PLO 627 relinquished to Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management a total of 80,037.49 PD acres between 1957 and 1962. A Certificate of Clearance, dated 12 July 1961, declared that approximately 80,000 acres of the 80,037.49 acres PD falls within Range 508 have been decontaminated (the specific nature of decontamination is unknown) and no restrictions apply to future use.

SITE VISIT: Site visits were conducted during 03-06 March and 08-09 April 1992 by Ray Sugiura, Doug Perreira, and Roger Noms of The Earth Technology Corporation. The survey team was assisted at various times during the site visit by Ms. Margaret Wheeler (Recorder, City of Wendover), Mr. Steve Mueller (Maintenance and Operations, City of Wendover), Mr. Robert Scobie (Historian, Retired Base Fireman), and Mr. William Woffmden (Aircraft Maintenance and former Airport Manager, City of Wendover). Ms. Wheeler provided real estate property ownership information; Mr. Mueller provided past and present on-site operations information; and, Messrs. Scobie and Woffinden provided historical information and additional sources of information.
The site visit included the properties that were formerly Wendover Air Force Base, Wendover Bombing And Gunnery Range, High Angle Bombing Targets Special Weapons Bombing Range No. 1, Wendover Civilian Housing Units, and also the areas east (salt flats) and west (former Army Air Force and City of Wendover landfill) of Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field
WAF).
As outlined in the Site History section, the site is currently owned by the C i t y of Wendover, Department of the Interior (Bureau of Land Management), Department of the Air Force, Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration and a number of private individuals. Approximately 2,000 acres within the site area is currently used as the Wendover Arrport and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1975) because of the areas significance in World War II and the remaining historic structures. Currently, there are i t h individual building conditions varying approximately 110remaining military-built smctures w from structurally sound to very deteriorated shape. Approximately 31 of the remaining buildings are being used by a variety of tenants for private (individual or corporate) and public activities. The fixed base operator at the Wendover Airport is Nevada Aviation Service, Inc. which began operating in 1972 and provides fueling, hangar rental, and aircraft tiedown services to private and military sources. Fuel types currently available include Jet-A and AvGas which are stored in aboveground fuel tanks located west of Building 412 and include a total of 23,000 gallons capacity for AvGas and 33,000 gallons capacity for Jet-A fuel. Most of the original hangars and other former military-used structures adjacent to the airport parking apron (north side) still exist, with a few of the structures currently beiig used for private aircraft storage. There are six remaining hangars, three are currently occupied (Buildings 811, 800, and 412) and used for private aircraft storage. The other hangars (Buildings 821,835, and 1831) are currently vacant and in very deteriorated condition. Building 1831 (the Enola Gay Hangar) reportedly contains asbestos, however, the specific components of asbestos containing products within the structure are unknown since building entry was not possible during the site visit. The other buildings along the apron are either used for storage, business activities, or remain vacant.

Approximately twenty potential environmental sites were identified at Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field and vicinity during the site investigation. The majority of the sites are eligible for DERP-FUDS funding while a small number of the sites are ineligible because of non-DOD beneficial use or current DOD property ownership. Table 1 is a summary listing of the identified potential environmental sites, category of hazard, location, past and present property ownership, and DERP-FUDS eligibility, and is organized by category of hazard. The Power Plant @ui/ding 207) was constructed in 1941, and is located on the south side of the west end of B Street (Plate 1). It was built during the first year of base o p e d o n s to provide electrical power to the entire base and the bombing and gunnery range. The interior equipment included three compressors, six heat exchangers, six metered fuel tanks, two electric pumps, overhead hoistway, meters, tanks, electric panels, and a restroom. There are currently several debris piles located outside of the structure. The debris includes 55-gallon drums, transformers, sheet metal, paper, cardboard, office furniture, and electrical insulators. Surface staining from a s evident inside and outside of the structure. Two steel oils, grease, and possibly PCBs, w 25,000-gallon dieseI fuel oil underground storage tanks (USTs) aswiated with the Power Plant were excavated by Shelton Construction Company in 1987. Shelton is currently in the process of cutting the steel tanks for use in the gravel and consmction business. According to Dave Shelton, associated piping in the direct vicinity of the tanks was also removed. Mr. Shelton reported that soil contamination was not evident at the time of UST removal, therefore, no soil or groundwater sampling was performed. An underground storage tank closure report was not a sN e d with the Tooele County required at the time of excavation, therefore, no closure report w Environmental Health Department. The survey team observed holes in both USTs indicating the possibility of leakage.
A diesel fuel oil UST (size unknown) Is located north of Building 428 (Storage Shed) and adjacent to the Airport Tower plate 1). According to Steve Mueller, the UST,is associated with the Electric Switch and Generator structures (Buildings 427 and 430) located on both sides of i l i t a r y and used solely by the military. Mr. Building 428. The UST was installed by the m Mueller reported that the transformers located in the Electric Switch Buildiing were removed and disposed of by q S PC1 (an environmental company) in the late 1980s. Mr. Mueller also reported that all of the base electric transformers were removed and stored at the Power Plant (Building 207) and the Efectric Switch (Building 427) structures by the power utility company. The transformers were than removed and disposed of by US PC1 in the late 1980s. Other than the surface staining observed at the Power Plant, the survey team found no evidence of PCB contamination at the site.
An aboveground steel fuel storage t a r & with an approximate storage capacity of 300 gallons is located outside of and against the west wall of the Alert Building (421) approximately 1 0 0 feet west of the Airport Tower. The tank rests on a concrete cradle four feet above the ground surface and is not currently used.
An aircmft W dispensing station (Building 403) and an aircraft fuel UST (size unknown) is located approximately 500 feet northwest of the Airport Tower and underneath the newer aboveground aircraft fuel tanks (Plate 1). The UST was installed by the military and used solely by the military.

The former Base Gasoline Station (Building 1029) is located at the intersection of 5th and C Streets (Plate 1) and contains two concrete fuel dispenser islands and a 5000-gallon gasoline fuel UST. The structure is in poor condition. The UST was installed by the military and used solely by the military. The Motor Vehicle Repair Shops and the Wash and Grease Racks (Buildings 1025, 1027, 1013, and 1014) are located on the west side of 5th Street and between B and C Streets (Plate 1). Building 1027 contains two hydraulic lift systems and a floor drain. There is no evidence of USTs or fluid reservoirs in the vicinity of the motor vehicle repair shops. The grease rack was dismantled in 1986, there is no visible surface staining at either the grease rack or the wash rack. A 1 1 of the structures are currently occupied by private businesses.
A Signal Tower (Building 2238) is located on the west side of 11th Street (Plate 1) and approximately 500 feet north of D Street and contains a diesel fuel oil UST (size unknown) on the north side of the signal tower and generator foundations. The UST was installed by the military and used solely by the m i l i t a r y .
A former military salvage yard measuring approximately 350 feet by 700 feet is located on current U n i t e d States Air Force prop*. (Plate 1). The area of the former salvage yard is a s e and Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) personnel currently occupied by Ni Air Force B and is used as a radar tracking and search facility. The Air Force property encompasses 157.4 acres and is bordered by 1lth Street to the west, the Union Pacitic Railroad tracks to the north, and A Street to the south. The east side of the property is on the salt flats. The radar site was established in the late 1970s in support of military activities at the Utah Test and Training Range. The salvage yard was used by the military from the early 1940s until approximately 1960. In the 1970s, most of the debris at the salvage yard was moved to an area west and south t r e e t s )prior , t oconstruction of of Building 3917 (between 13th and 14th Streets, and A and B S the radar facility. In 1984, a scrap metal recycling company removed the debris from the Air Force property. The remains of the salvage yard are still identifiable as a large gravel patch littered with scattered pieces of wood, clay, pipes, metal, wire, and brick. A concrete pad measuring 15 feet by 50 feet with an outlet pipe is located on the former salvage yard adjacent to the north fence of the radar facility. T h e pad resembles the remains of a wash rack, although that is not confirmed. A 1000-gallon diesel fuel oil UST is located at the radar facility approximately 20 feet north of the generator building and is maintained by CSC. The UST was installed by the Air Force prior of Wendover AFB closure. The remnants of a former gasoline dispenser is located at the intersection of 11th and B Streets and on current United States Air Force property, The concrete remains of a fuel dispenser and a surface depression resembling an excavated area 20 feet north of the dispenser are evident.
There are two abandoned atom bomb loading pits located on the east side of the airport and along the east taxiway (Figure 3). The bomb loading pits were constructed in 1944 and are approximately 15 feet bng, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet deep; and, 25 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. Reportedly, the military did not use these structures following a few unsuccessful attempts at loading one of the bombers. One of the structures is partially Nled with water. The structures may represent a drowning hazard.

Two atom bomb loading pits equipped with hydraulic lifts were constructed in 1945 on the parking apron approximately 100 feet south of the b o l a Gay Hangar (Building 1831)(F'late 1). These bomb loading pits replaced those described in the above paragraph. One of the bomb loading pit locations was identified by the survey team as a 12 by 15 foot concrete patch in the parking apron. The location of the second bomb loading pit was not evident. Reportedly, the hydraulic lift was removed from one of the bomb Ioading pits in 1946 and sent to Kirtland Air Force Base. B o t h bomb loading pits were then filled in and the surfacing of the parking apron restored.
Located to the south of Wendover AFAF and currently on.WendoverAir Force Range property, which is a subpart of the Utah Test and Training Range, are the following stnrctures, which
during the 1940s, were directly related to the World War J I activities at Wendover Air Force Base (Figure 3): o o The V-1 Firing Ramps and an underground bunker. The Final Assembly Buildings for the atom bomb.
Two double rows of concrete piers and an underground bunker associated with the V-1 buzz bomb testing program (1945) are evident at the site. Only the foundations of the atom bomb final assembly buildings are evident. There are scattered debris piles at both areas but no evidence of surface contamination. The Fuel Tank Farm (POL Area 200) is located on the west side of the cantonment area, north of A Stceet and west of 2nd Street, designated area B-1A on the Wendover Alr AFAF layout map (Plate 1). The fuel tank farm contains six 25,000-gallon fuel USTs and three 50,000-gallon fuel USTs installed by the military between 1942 and 1943. The original use of the USTs was the storage of gasoline and aircraft fuels in support of base operations. During active base operations, two fuel lines led eastward from the fuef tank farm. One fuel line led to a tanker truck fill stand and another fuel line led to a gasoline dispenser island. The City of Wendover acquired the fuel tank farm property from the United States Government in 1976. The USTs were not used by the City of Wendover, however, on 15 July 1979 the Pacific Intermountain Express Company (PIE) signed a one year lease with the City of Wendover for the use of the fuel tank farm property and the nine USTs. PIE used the USTs for diesel fuel storage. The USTs have not been used since 1980. The two fuer lines have not been used since the Air Force terminated occupancy of the area. Two rows of aircraft fueling pit-boxes (approximately 60 feet apart in an east-west alignment) were obsewed along the airport parking apron (Plate 1). Reportedly, the original aircraft refueling plan involved the aqua-fuel system in which water pressure is used to pump the fuel to the fueling pits on the parking apron. However, the aqua-fuel system was not instituted for reasons that are unknown. The historical sources contacted confirm that aircraft were not fueled at the fuel pit-boxes, but rather by tanker truck. There is a landfill located near Wendover AFAF and on current Air Force property (the Utah Test and Training Range), reportedly used by the military, the City of Wendover, and Elko County from the early 1940s until approximately 1975 (Figure 2). The landfill is located in
Nevada approximately 0.75 miles west of the Nevada-Utah border and approximately 0.25 miles south of Highway 93. The landfdl is 10-12 feet thick and encompasses approximately 100 acres. The types of debris observed on the surface included broken bottles, m e t . cans, wood, sheet metal, spent ammunition shells, and concrete rubble. According to the Wendover Public Safety O f f i c e ,there have been no reported incidents involving live ordnance in the area. During active base operations (1940-1960), there were two sewer systems in-place (Figure 3). One system Sewed the eastern half of the base with an outfall onto the salt flats 2000 feet over the salt flats and over southeast of the cantonment area. The outfall drained southeas-d a narrow area approximately 4000 feet long creating intricate finger-like drainage patterns to the east of the airport. It is possible that contaminants from on-base maintenance operations may have collected in this area. The second system served the western half of the base and utilized a sewage (wastewater) treatment plant facility located along Stateline Road (west side of the airport) approximately 0.5 miles south of the cantonment area. Wastewater from the base was treated at this facility with discharge approximately 2500 feet south-southwest of the facility. Two sludgeponds were observed at the wastewater txatment faciity. Currently, sewage disposal for the Utah side of the airport is provided by sewage ponds east of the airport. Sewage disposal for the Nevada side of the airport is to an evaporative lagoon system built in the early 1980s. The Wendover Army Air Base Bombing and Gunnery Range is located approximately three miies northeast of the base cantonment area, north of Highway 1-80 (Figure 1). The Bombing and Gunnery Range (BGR)operated during the early 1940s as a training site for B-29 Bomber gunners. The BGR was approximately one mile long and 0.3 miles wide. There were five moving target ranges, four skeet ranges, and one trap range associated with the BGR. The types of structures and facilities constructed at the BGR included barracks, classrooms, mess halls, a theater, supply warehouses, administrative offices, latrines, paint and carpentry shops, a motor l l of the structures were disassembled between 1%J and 1965 and the pool, and a gas station. A area abandoned. An aggregate borrow pit was dug at the south end of the BGR t o provide construction material during the building of Highway 1-80 in the late 1960s. The borrow pit has destroyed approximately fifty percent of the total BGR land area including the gas station and motor pool areas. There is one feature at the BGR that may be a hazard. An underground shelter atdthc west side of the BGR. The hazard is a partially or trench-like structure was 0 b ~ e ~ e collapsed wooden structure covered with soil and resembling a shallow mine shaft. The High Angle Bombing Targets and Special Weapons Bombing Range No. 1 (SWBR) is located approximately eight m i l e s north of Wendover AFAF (Figure 1). The SWBR is within Sections 13, 14, and 15 of Township I North and Range 19 West of the Salt Lake Baseline and Meridian coordinates. The SWBR is on public property that was disposed of by the Air Force and consists of two bombing targets side by side with guidance markers approaching the targets at forty-five degree angles. The survey team observed numerous 5Ocaliber casings and metal links scattered throughout the area. Four concrete foundations (support for a former observation tower), an underground observation bunker, a rusted pile of practice bombs, 30 feet by 40 feet in area, and practice bombs half buried in the soil were also observed. Reportedly, there are two ordnance disposal areas located on the Utah Test and Training Range property (the Nevada side) approximately four miles southwest of Wendover AFAF. One of the
WendovevAir Fovce Auxiliary Field Wendover, UT Archives Search Report Addendum
disposal areas is reportedly located approximately 3000 feet east of Highway 93 along. The survey team examined the area and found no evidence of a disposal site. The only features evident were historic lake bed deposits and undisturbed terrain. A second disposal area is reportedly located approximately 2.5 miles east of Highway 93 and 1.5 miles west of the UtahNevada stateline (Figure 2). The area is within the Utah Test and Training Range and access to the area by the survey team was not possible without authorization from range control. From 25 October to 04 November 1976, 2,249 acres of propetty within the boundary of Wendover AFAF including the V-1 rocket launch sites and a 1.5 mile wide area on the Nevada side of Stateline Road was cleared of ordnance by an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) team. On 04 November 1976, a certificate of cIearance and a report of clearance was prepared by the United States Air Force. The types of ordnance collected by the EOD team included practice bombs, shotgun shells, flares, smoke grenades, .30 and -38 caliber rounds, rocket propellant, and incendiary bombs. The suspected ordnance disposal areas and the SWBR described in the above paragraph were not part of the 1976 EOD investigation.

A total of 96,996.90 acres (the total of 80,037.49; 16,894.293; 0.99; 2.0; 0.537; and, 61.59 acres) were disposed. The site is currently owned by the city of Wendover, Bureau of Land Management, State of Utah, Elko and Tooele Counties, and private individuals.
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 DefenseEnvironmentalRestomtion Program for Formerly U s e d Defense Sites, established under 10 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.

PROJECT SUMMARY SHEET FOR DERP-FUDS BD/DR PROJECT NO. J09UT100181 Wendover AF Auxiliary Field Site N o . JWUT100180 PROJECT DESCRIPTIONc There are three known hazards on the site, they include two atom bomb loading pits and a partially collapsed underground structure. The bomb loading pits represent a potential drowning hazard as they are approximately eight feet wide, over fifteen feet long, and six feet deep with two feet of standing water currently in one of the pits. Water can accumulate in the pits from either rainfall or from the extremely shallow groundwater that is found in the asea. The bomb loading pits are located on the east side of Wendover Airport along the east taxiway. The area is not secured and may be accessed by the public. The third hazard identified is a partially collapsed underground structure located on the former Wendover AFB Bombing and Gunnery Range approximately three miles northeast of Wendover. The structure is approximately four to five feet high and of unknown length. The structure may have been used as an underground storage facility by the Army Aix Force in the 1940s. The structure features very deteriorated and collapsing wooden tunnel linings covered with earthen material, and represents a potential cave-in or engulfment hazard. The area is not secured and may be accessed by the public.
PROJECT ELIGIBILITY; The structures were built and used by the Air Force in the 1940s
and are potential hazard sources. The structures are located on non-military owned property.
PROPOSED PROIECT.: The potential project consists of Nling-in the two atom bomb loading pits with soil and the demolition and filling-in of the collapsing underground structure.

PROJECT SUMMARY SHEET FOR DERP-RTDS HTW PROJECT NO. J09UT100183 Wendover AF AuJrilisry Field
Site No. J09UT100180
PROJECT DESCRIPTION; There are six areas of HTW concern on the site. All are located in the area just south of the City of the Wendover and in the vicinity of the Wendover Airport. The first two areas are the former base Power Plant, building number 207, located on the south side of the west end of B Street and the Electric Switch Station, building number 427, located just west of the airport tower. The Electric Switch Station served as an emergency backup o have contained electrical power station for the base. The Switch Station is known t transformers with PCB fluids. The electrical transformers were disassembled, moved to the Power Plant, and disposal of in the late 1980s. The Power Plant is known to have contained electrical transformers with PCB fluids and is also known to serve as a collection point for all of the base electtical transformers prior to their disposal in the late 1980s. O i l and possibly PCB staining is evident inside and outside of the Power Plant. The other areas of concern are the wastewater disposal areas on the east and west sides of Wendover Airport, the Motor Vehicle Shops, and the W a s h and Grease Racks on the base cantonment area. The wastewater disposal atea on the east side of the airport consisted of untreated wastewater with an outfall directly onto the salt flatsapproximately 2,000 feet southeast of the base cantonment area. The sewage outfall results in a drainage pattern approximately 4,000 feet long and 1,000 feet wide at the widest point. The wastewater disposal area on the west side of the airport consisted of a sewage treatment facility, two sludge ponds, and an outfall of treated wastewater approximately 2,500 feet south-southwest of the facility and onto the Nevada State side. These wastewater outfall areas may be collection points for hazardous and toxic substances and products from operational activities at the former Wendover AFB. The areas are not secured and public accessibility is possible.
The Motor Vehicle Repair Shops and the Wash and Grease Racks are located on the base cantonment area on the west side of 5th Street and between B and C Streets. A hydraulic lift and a floor drain was observed at one of the motor vehicle repair shops. The wash and grease racks were dismantled in 1986. There is no visible surface staining in the v i c i n i t y of the rack, however, former practices and operations at the shops and racks suggest possible hazardous and toxic waste contamination within the area. Two additional areas of IFIW concern are the Post Engineer S a l w e Yard and the former Base Landfill. These areas are further discussed in the Project Eligibiity section of this report.
PROJECT ELIGIBUlXi n o sites are ineligible for funding restoration as the areas are
located on property currently owned by the Air Force (Hill Air Force Base and Utah Test and Training Range properties). The f h t area is the former Post Engineer Salvage Yard. The yard is located on Air Force property and is within the base. cantonment area just north of the airport. The former salvage yard area contains scattered pieces of wood, metal, clay pipes, wire, and brick. The second area of HTW concern is the former Base Landfill and is located on U'ITR property (on the Nevada State side) approximately 0.75 miles w e s t of the Utah-Nevada border
and 0.25 m i l e s south of Highway 93. Reportedly, the landfill was used by the Air Force, the City of Wendover, and the County of Ellco. The landfill is 10-12 feet thick and approximately 100 acres in area. Surface debris evident at the landf2l include ammunition shells, sheet metal, wood, rusted metal cans, paper, concrete rubble, and broken bottles. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: The wastewater outfall and Power Plant areas have not been beneficially used since DOD use of the site terminated. The wastewater outfall areas have not been disturbed, however, the Power Plant interior was disassembled by the City of Wendover between 1977 and 1980. PROPOSED P R O W R The potential project consists of soil, groundwater, and product sampling; remediation; and, site restoration as required at all HTW areas of concern.

(January 1 , 1939, t o December 7 , 194l.1 The f->st soldiers t o s e t foot on t h e s o i l of lendover Field, Utah, arrived on the western Utah-Nevada border on August 12, 1941. (see Incl. . ' #3.) A cadre of 1 0 enlisted men and two officers, under cornand of Cqat. Darold G. Smith, moved in on t h a t day, having formed from t h e Fifth A i r Base Group at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City. The unit was activated a s a
t h e Bcdnbing and Gunnery Range detachment on July 29, 1941, by authcrity V1 of special order #166, Pars. 21 and 2 ' 7 , Air Base Headquarters, F c r t Douglas, 9 Utah. (see Incl. #1 and 4 4 2 . ) Cn
It m s n pioneer m i l i t a r y expedition i n t o t h e Great Salt Desert although prior t o t h e i r a r r i v a l , s t a t i o n persolme1 a t Fort Douglas had been assigned t o t a r g e t maintenance a t a bombing range located some 60 odd miles north of Ke~doverField's present s i t e . That plans had been considered for activation of Wendover Field i s evidenced by the erection of b u i l d i q s on the s i t e of t h e present base in the spring of 1941.
AccorWg t o h i s t o r i c a l research, t h e Fendover salt f l a t s were once t h e bottom of pre-historic Lake Bonneville, a gigantic f r e s h inland lake t h a t s c i e n t i s t s declare, once covered the e n t i r e northwestern section of Utah. Wt remains of t h a t huge body of water today i s known a s great S a l t Lake, fazed throughout t h e world. Evidences of Lake Bonneville:~shoreline, natives point out, my be found in n a t e r l h e s that a;Jpear upon mountain sides in t h e immediate v i c i n i t y of Mendover and other sections i n t h e long 260 mile s t r e t c h t h a t separates S a l t Lake City and Ely, Nevada, t h e f i r s t town of any size which greets t h e highway t r a v e l e r en route t o California. Geologists declare t h a t vast accumulations of salt were cawed by water desolving it f r o m t h e rocks and s o i l of t h e higher land and carrying it i n t o t h e lowlands. Today these strange f a n t a s t i c s a l t f l a t s present an entrancing, yet lonely panorama, with mirages of mystery ships and f l o a t ing islands, making it one of the most unusual spectacles in t h e vorld. It is the home today of one of t h e largest heavy bombardment training centers

L i t t l e did they realize t h ~tth e y were the vanguard of a tremendous parade of Uncle Sam's fledgling Zliers i n t o t h e i r combat t r a i n i n g phases. True enough, t h e few buildings on t h e proposed base gave the o r i g i n a l There cadre something t o s t a r t out with in those hot August days of 194.l. were several barracks, a mess h a l l , a dispensary, signal office, warehouse, powerhouse, and one wing of t h e building which i s t h e a d m i n i s t r ~ t i v eHeadquarters today. But there was no e l e c t r i c i t y . The water supply was poor, due t o r u s t y piping. Work, more work and s t i l l more work had t o be 4one. Those o r k i n a l pioneers, of whom only one s t i l l is a t Aenriover today, l e t a w i l i i n g hand t o t h e i r duties of maintaining the t a r g e t r u e f o r t h e use of bombing crews from Geiger Field, Washington; Gonen Field, Idaho; Pendleton, Cregon, and t h e S a l t Lake A i r Base. A i d i n g Zapt. Smith was 1st Lt. Horace L. loodard, who f i l l e d t n e post of provost marshal and virtually every other administrative post duty t h a t t h e r e was t o fill.

That small g r o q was symbolic, just as Wendover i s symbolic with the gigantic e ~ a n s i o n of t h e A i r Force.
Target maintenance duties formed the primary function of t h e small unit. But there were handicaps which confronted the cadre. Eo. 1was supply. Transportation f a c i l i t i e s were almost t o t a l l y 1adcb.g. For several months, there were only three vehicles available f o r the personnel mhich grew month by month. In addition t o t h e i r duties on t h e t a r g e t range, laying of cement sidewalks and other construction jobs occupied the time of o f f i c e r s and men,

Peck, n o w a Brigadier-General and Commanding Officer of the 17th W i n g , took cormnand a t Vendover Field, the Bombing and Gunnery Detachment, the Infantry Detachment, Medical Detachment, and Quartermaster Detachmnt, comprised the Base Personnel. A l l of them were co-ordinate& into an Amy A i r Base under Col. Peck's conrmand. Reasons f o r activating the headquarters squadron were t o perform the function of operating the base t o provide combat training for bombardment grows* Keg personnel of the base Included Lt Col. Paul R. Barton, Base EXBcutioe Officer, &jar H. M, k g g , now Col. Dagg of the Second A i r Force, as Base Quartermaster, Capt. J. R. Chenette (who today i s a major and is the plans a n d training officer of the field), Capt. Frank Powers (now a major i n charge of the intelligence section a t Blythe, Gal., Second Lt, lVIerle Crum, (now Captain Crum, Base Operations Officer a t ~lenduver)and the l a t e Second Lt. C l a y R. Davis. Wen Viendw~rs o f f i c i a l activation took place, the main function of the Bombing and Gunnery Range Detachment had been t o maintain and operate pre-o clsi.011 b o m b ranges. The exact location of the precision target was 43. 1' B and 1 1 314 I But the f a c i l i t i e s were for operation of a detachment under peace tima conditions. They were not adequate for the training of new organimtions of increased strength and nmber,
But Second A i r Force plans called for Rendover as a heavy bombardment i d of the 306th group, l a t e r t o gain training base f o r B-17 airplanes, h s e t dubious fams a s the "clay pigeonn group i n the English theater of operations, f oPnd it difficult t o make available any f a c i l i t i e s t o a i d then 3m their training curriculum. The only training f a c i l i t i e s on hand w r e a link 4xaimr department and the ranges that had been constructed before the base w a s activated.
From a morale standpoint, there were less than a dozen buildings available far housing. Recreation, a s pointed art i n insta.llment, consisted of one mov!$.e house which seated onlp 275 persons and outmoded e q u i p n t was being used, Proximity t o neighboring c o d t i e s revealed that Illendover Field w a s 126 miles from Salt Lake City and 119 and IJ.8 r e s p e c t i h l y from Elko and E f y , ~evada. Wells, another Nevada community of several hundred persons, was sane 9 miles away but offered l i t t l e in the way of recreation t o the soldier. Special Services offered l i t t l e because there was no Special Service Wficer. His duties w r e included i n that familiar phrase "in addition t o your other duties."
Despite the problems that confronted the 306th Bombardinent Group, they accomplished their training i n the face of tremendous odds. A s an example of the d i f f i c u l t i e s under which the personnel operated, only a s avail&J.e for their group and squadron headquarters, a l l one buildiag w i n a floor space of 50 x 20 feet.
A visiting officer entering t h i s building was amazed t o find one table aligned completely around the room with soldiers and commissioned personnel w o r k i n g i n spaces inches apart. The table w a s in a "Un formation with sonre 50 a r 60 odd officers and clerks operating as best they could. The "office* of the group commander and executive officer was located i n the middle of this table arrangement. The tables were boards l a i d across carpenter's horses and the f i l i x g cabinets m r e discarded cardboard boxes. One telephone w a s available i n the building. Under such circumstances, wasted motion reached i t s rasxhnnu performance.
Vithin a period of 30-45 days, a b l i t z construction program rectified the situation t o a great extent* But it is easy t o see that the d i f f i c u l t i e s which confron%edthe f i r s t group t o come t o Wendover for training were not minor ones. The 315th A i r Base and Headquarters Squadron took up the duties of Administration f o r the base and the Bombing and Gunnery Range Detachment became the s p e c 5 a l i l ~ d arganieation f o r maintaining and operating the ranges. The 315th cmaplement on April 1 , 1942, consisted of five officers and 116 enlisted men. (See Incl. # X I ) . The Infantry unit departed for S a l t lake City an A p r U 2. '
&jar Chenette, then a junior officer, was appointed the Base $ 1 officer and he proceeded t o name enlisted men for a training program in the duties and operation of a personnel section. There was no conception a s t o the functions of a message center, an officers section and enlisted men's section. N o furniture was available, s o makeshift tables were rigged up. The general f i l e section consisted of a series of cardboard cartons. The $ 1 officer held a s m a q ~ as nine positions i n addition t o h i s priPlnry duties. IIe was the S-1, S-4 Schools Officer, Classification Officer, T r l a l Judge Mvocate, P h and Training Officer, and held other similar t i t l e s .
Base Headquarters became the nerve center f o r a l l problems regardless of t h e i r nature. It was not strange t o see a s many as 20 or 30 officers lined al, outside the S-1 section, awaiting appropriate action from the S-1 officer in their respeotiive problem. Deraands of the administration of base a c t i v i t i e s made far a r e a l 26hour d a y . It was not until the l a s t p a r t of May +hat relief came i n t h o form of nsa cosamissionsd personnel,

Gunners i n large numbers were training a t the gunnery school and the bombing instruction had not lagged f a r behind. Taro dozen enlisted men and a Sergeant of the Bombing and Gunnery Detachment mintained the ranges 60 miles east of the field. I n the course of July, they constructed the largest bombing range in the world, b u i l t life-size targets of enemy battleships with t a r on the & L t e s a l t crust, installed t h e i r own electric system for night illumination, and graded roads f o r 10 miles around. Bombers winging eastward fronilfendover peppered the f l a t s and increased t h e i r precision aim. To keep the ranges open, the gunners housed and the planes flying required the work of other organizations. Prominent in those early days were the &hanee Squadron, then under the cammand of 1st Lt.

Training problems for the 308th Bombardment Group mre complex. Supply continued t o be the main headache. S-3 f a c i l i t i e s were not up t o par, i n fact, there w a s hardly a training program a t all u n t i l December %henCapt. Chenette, the Base Adjutant, took over the post. Since that time, the plans and training section has developed into one of the best. h j o r Dippy ran into maay problems with a topheavy population. Further coxuplications arose from a wave of civilian labor that answered the c a l l of Bruce E. Vaughan, Director of Civilian Personnel, i n October when the labor shortage h i t i t s peak.
On October 3 h t , the Bombing and Gu~lnery School moved into a new s i t e i n the h i l l s some 4 miles from Weendwer and s e t about building ranges in the desolate, mountainous area north of the main highway. Salvaged CCC barracks served as housing accomodations. There was no water. It had t o be trucked from the base.
The loen l o s t themselves i n construction of the various ranges, r i f l e , skeet and machine gun. b t they lacked in equipment, they improvised or obtained elsewhere. The nschooln wasn't designated a s a school, so couldnlt benefit from army funds.
Ingenuity was the byword. One of the contrivances rigged up by the E n w a s a rmchanism designed t o steer a jeep around a circular track. The jeep supports a moving target f o r machine gun practice. The circular track has two advantages: (I), the target moves a t 5 t o 30 miles an hour, affording practice a t a moving target and (2) it proves a change i n the depth of range, simulating an attacking and retreating plane. When the target moves around its track closest t o the m r , it i s 170 yards away. A t its farthest point
on the other side of the track, it adds another 70 yards t o the range.
Then they mounted three machine guns on a railroad car sinihr t o t h a t used by a section foreman, The army purchased the car and a section of the ~amw gauge track. The-oar, with i t s three gunners, speeds up t o 40 miles in passing the targets. To h i t a target consistently a t that speed xith a w h i n e gun on a moving mount i s really the u l t i m t e i n mrksmmship. Actual conditions of a e r i a l warfare were produced by t h i s mthod. The car gave the motion effect and the aero-dynamic characteristics of an airplane. The three gunners empl~yedan interphone system, using a -oat microphone, t o permit the hands t o be free. The f i r e control officer then scored the h i t s suggesting needed corrections i n leading the target. The m e n i n turn can t a l k t o the f i r e control offic er, The railroad car device w a s known by the nam of 'PTokio Trolleymand gained nationwide fame i n gunnery circles. Since all of a machine gunner's accuracy is not developed on the range, %kull practicen in the classrooms also took an ingenious turn. For instance, i n showing farmations of planes, both f o r attack and defense, the Bombing and Gunnery lads took a leaf out of the fisherman's book. Fishing rods wikh their telescopic sections, were used. The rods hang from a platform and each s w pports a model pland. By moving these rods up or down a t f l ,the visual aids enable instructors t o point out vulnerable points t o attack or t o defend.
The gunnery classes are divided into three phases: Classroom, gunnery range, and power turrets.
Slaall bore arms come f i r s t , then the machine gun laboratory is next. One m a t be able t o assemble blindfolded the hundreds of parts of the machine guns. Theory and operation of pmer t u r r e t s f ollovi. Then comes f i r i n g of the machine guns a t stationary targets, followed by f i r e a t moving targets. Y[eamhile they learn classroom theory of f i r e control and care of equipment, such as flares, l i f e r a f t s and emergency kits. They also learn how t o use o m e n for high altitude flying.
During a l l this time, students shoot skeet on two ranges. Skeet i s said t o furnish the h a c k of leading and swinging a t a target properly. Near the end of the course, f i r e control i s emph.qsimd and men draw sketches of planes and show firing angles, A t a i l gamer, for instance, must know i n degrees just how wide an area his gun w i l l caper. The student gets a taste of night f i r i n g and learns about external ballistics.
And such was the Bombing and Gunnery School, functioning under the base, which started out i n the hills. Its construction stretched into November,

earlier, 6 April 1942,when the Air Corps activated the 306th Bombardment Group (Heavy) It trained from then until 1 August 1942, using the desert outpost to sharpen its proficiency in using the bombing capabilltles of the B-17 bomber, which it iater employed to Inflict telling blows in Europe Thls was the first outfit to tram at Wendover using the famous B-17 Flylng Fortress In the ensuing months a host of other groups followed suit USAF histor~ans descrtbed the B-17 as "the outstanding bombardment plane in the world from the time of tts emergence m 1935 until the B-29 appeared Of the types of planes on hand in the Alr Corps on 1 September 1939, only one - the B-17 - flew as a first-line plane after Pearl Harbor and there were only 23 B-17's on hand m September 1939 The B-24, running mate for the B-17 during the war, was hardly off the drawmg boards in 1939."

the public learn of the use made of Wendover in training crews in bombing tactics with speciallydesigned B-29 Superfortresses. Activated a t Wendover on 17 December 1944, with training running through 26 April 1945, was the 509th Composite Group. This was the first Army Air Force group to be organized, equipped and trained for atomic warfare. On 6 August 1945 one of the group's B-29s, the "Enola Gay" piloted by Group Commander, Colonel Paul W. Tibbets, J r . , dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later a B-29, "Bock's Car," piloted by Major Charles W. Sweeney, dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Use of these first two atomic weapons ever employed brought a speedy end to the war. On 15July 1943 Ogden's first contingent of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC)arrived at the base. It was known as the 907th WAAC Post Headquarters Company activated at Hill Field. The first officer arrived 24 July 1943. Barracks were not yet finished when the 14WAACs arrived the last of July so they moved into quarters in the on-base civilian dormitories,Hillcrest Village. On 1October 1943 the 907th inactivated and its personnel became a part of the WAC Detachment Number 1, Ogden Air Service Command, being assigned to the 482nd Base Headquarters and Air B--5.. -" a x qhadi-~il. On 1 February 1943 the Air Service Command issued a major field reorganizational directive: abolishment of its four Air Service Area Commands, which it established on 12December 1941.

111. POSTWAR YEARS: 1946-1950
Transition
Use of the A-bomb a t Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in August 1945brought World War I1 to an end, but supply lines remained to be cleared and vast quantities of materiel were still to be pulled back from the far-flung battle areas. The Ogden Air Materiel Area (OOAMA), like the entire Air Technical Service Command, was faced with a tremendous, essentially unproductive job. Proper disposition had to be attained for vast quantities of supplies and equipment. Materiel and physical property had to be readied for turnover to the War Assets Administration. Vast numbers of airplanes had to be disposed of or preserved a s a war reserve. Predictably, the transition from wartime to peacetime prompted changes in organization, workload and personnel. At Hill, these changes were directed by t h e following OOAMA commanders: Colonel Paul W. Wolf, Ogden's second commander, 27 June 1944 - 23 September 1945; Brigadier General Ray G. Harris, 24 September 1945 - 26 August 1947; and Colonel Frank D. Hackett, 27 August 1947 - 10 June 1948. They implemented t h e postwar demobilization a s directed by Air Technical Service Command (ATSC) and Air Materiel Command. The ATSC was redesignated Air Materiel Command (AMC) on 9 March 1946. Reductions in workload and personnel called for a regrouping of functions and organizations into a more streamlined, efficient operation: (1) On 4
January 1946 the Rase Services Division and the Air Installations Office became a part of the Deputy for Base Services, T-6. Base Services came from T-1, Deputy for Personnel, and Air Installations from T-4, Deputy for Supply. (3On 18 January 1946 the Air Communications Office transferred from the Deputy for Base Services, T-6 to the Deputy for Maintenance, T-3. (3) On 22 September 1946 the Motor Pool left thejurisdiction of T-6 and became the responeibility of the Traffic Section, T-4. On 1 September 1947; however, the Base Administration Section of t h e Base Services Office, Deputy for Administration assumed the responsibility. (4) December 1946 saw the discontinuance of Maintenance's Chemical Laboratory. Used for analyzing and testing cleaning solutions, waters, chemicals, plating solutions and fuel oil, the laboratory played a n important role a t Ogden d u r i n g t h e w a r years. Thereafter, until r e established on 7 August 1947, all such operations were done a t Wright Field. Postwar years brought changes injurisdictional responsibilities. On 16 March 1947 the Army Air Forces transferred jurisdiction of Wendover A m y Air Base, Wendover, Utah from OOAMA to the Fifteenth Air Force, Strategic Air Command. This ended a five-year period in which Wendover figured prominently a s a research and development site for guided missiles? pilotless aircraft and remotely-controlled bombs, as well as a training base for crews to gain greater proficiency with B-17s and B-24s for combat duty in World War 11.
Ogden became a 8-29 Spares Control Depot 29 June 1945. The flrst 8-29 Superfortress arrived for storage 7 March 1946.

tion services. Ogden operated it as a bulk storage facility for fuels. On 1July 1950 USAF transferred jurisdiction of these excess installations from Strategic Air Command to AMC and Ogden: Wendover AFB, Wendover, Utah; Casper AFB, Casper, Wyoming; Ent AFB, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Fifteenth Air Force, Strategic Air Command, had exercised jurisdictionof Wendover from 16March 1947until this date. On 1 December 1950 AMC transferred Ent AFB ( a n inactive base) from Ogden's jurisdiction to the Continental Air Command, Mitchell AFB, New York. On 15 December 1950 USAF transferred from Ogden to the Air Training Command, Scott AFB, Illinois, jurisdiction of the Split ~~~k Air-to-Air Gunnery Range, an off-base facility of Casper AFB, Wyoming. 1950 Ogden tallied its physical plant resources and activities. How did they compare with some of the earliest ones? From the first few temporary buildings, moved from the Ogden Arsenal to serve a s office and storage space, the number had grown to 352 with 44 of them permanent. The original investment of $8 million had grown to nearly $32 million. Geographically, Ogden's responsibility grew from 688,000 square miles to over a million square miles of area. The few trays and bins of supplies a t the start grew to i70,GOO items by 1943, going up again to 240,854by December 1950.These. Supply stored in
its 2,329,534 square feet of warehouse space and 432,954 square feet of outside space. From a total of only three carloads (between 90 and 150 tons) of material handled by Supply in January 1941, to 1,000 carloads (between 30,000 and 50,000 tons) by October 1943, the totals revealed. In 1949, Supply counted 147,000 tons in and out by rail. Korea made the comparison even greater when in 1950 total tons received and shipped by rail came to 200,357. From July through December 1950 the civilian payroll was $8,912,864. Between January and June 1950, the average civilian strength was 3,600. By 31 December 1950 civilians numbered a plus 5,550. Using an average of 4,000 civilians for the year, their approximate average annual salary was a little over $2,200. Lacking civilian personnel payroll for the first half of 1950,* but knowing there were fewer employees, we estimated a figure of $8 million, making a yearly total of about $17 million. The last half of 1950 showed a military payroll of $3,130,018. This included personnel of the 25th Air Depot Wing, or a total a t the base of 2,410. The 365 personnel in the J a n u a r y J u n e 1950 period received approximately $474,500, bringing the total military payroll for all of 1950to about $3.6 million. Using the known figures, the average military pay figured about $1,300 per annum. Altogether civilian and military personnel received about $20.6 million for 1950.
There were no annual civilian payroll figures until the 1950 period.

This huge G I 2 4 Globernaster cargo carrier was one of several assigned to the 26th Logistic Support Squadron, long-time tenant at Hill AFB
AFB, Ohio: 10. Robins AFB, Georgia 11, Kelly AFB, Texas. With EOD work Ogden gained a n additional mission: it was the sole agent for the entire USAF in the zone of interior to perform reconnaissance, detection: recovery, field evaluation and safe disposal of all United States and overseas unexploded ordnance a n d explosives, including special weapons, biological a n d chemical w a r f a r e weapons. If the Army, Navy or Civil Defense agencies required assistance with such items, t h e EOD stood ready to assist. Equipped with eight TB-29s, the 7th Radar Calibration Squadron of Headquarters Air Defense Force (CADF), Air Defense Command [ADC), arrived a t Hill AFB on 1 December 1953. Its 35 officers and 126 airmen trained in and calibrated radar facilities in Ogden's area a s part of the CADF effort. On 1 8March 1954, ADC redesignated i t as the 4677th Radar Evaluation Flight leaving it stationed a t Hill AFB. On 14 December 1953, a postwar tenant returned to Hill, the 1708th Ferrying Group of the Continental Division of the Military Air Transport Division. Its primary service to Ogden was coordination of ferrying activities of aircraft (primarily F-84s) coming in and out of Hill AFB. This was particularly significant since Ogden was a specialized repair activity for the F-84s. Ten years earlier, in the critical year of 1943 when the outcome of World War I1 was still undecided, the 461st Bombardment Group (Heaby), was activated by Tactical Air Command (TAC) a t Wendover Field, Utah on 1July. Equipped with B-24 bombers, three squadrons trained a t Wendover. They completed 224 distinguished combat missions in the European Theater in 1944-45, before inactivation on 27 August 1945. The group and its three squadrons remained inactive until TAC reactivated the group and renamed it as a
wing (light), attaching i t to Hill AFB for logistical support on 23 December 1953. As a part of the Ninth Alr Force, the wing's strength on arrival was only 24 oEcers and 20 airmen. By 30 June 1955 its assigned strength was 237 officers and 1,593 airmen.
Props to Jets
One of the military lessons Korea taught was the ever-present need for better air support of ground troops and constant interdiction of enemy's supply lines. Sharpening its proficiency to do just that, the postwar 461st's mission, while training out of Hill AFB and Wendover, was "to develop and maintain tactical bombardment effectiveness in locating, attacking and destroying both fixed and moving targets, utilizing visual and electronic methods, under all weather conditions during the hours of darkness and adverse weather conditions during the hours of daylight." In the course of its practices the 461st used the B-26, later replaced by the Martin B-57 twoengine, light tactical bomber, a n American adaptation of the British Canberra. TAC received its first B-57s in J u n e 1954. Aircraft assigned to the wing for all its many purposes of training, transport, liaison, etc., were T-33As, C-47s, B-26s, B-57s, L-20s and H-19s. In mid-1954 the wing moved to Wendover for 43 days to let the combat units put into practice techniques in rocketry, bombing, gunnery and armed reconnaissance. The 46lst was Hill's largest military outfit since the 25th Air Depot Wing. Its 167 officers and 905 airmen completed their move to a new home a t Blytheville, Arkansas by 1 April 1956. After the big surge of construction in the first yezrs, Ogden's facilities remained substantially unchanged until this period. Then came two of the
organizations. At Hill AFB, t h e 945th Communications Flight was assigned to the 945th TCG. with the Air Force Communications Service designated as the gaining command upon activation. At the same time, the 945th TCG received the first of nine (2-124 Globemaster cargo aircraft. Changes continued to take place. On 1 October 1966 the 945th TCG (Medium1 was redesignated the 945th Military Airlift Group (Heavy), with primary assignment to the Continental Air Command, but under Military Airlift Command jurisdiction. Concurrently the 733rd TCS (Medium) was redesignated t h e 733rd Military Airlift Squadron (Medium).On 1December 1966 another reserve unit was activated and assigned to the 945th Military Airlift Group (Heavy). Designated the 66th Aeromedical Evacuation Flight, the unit was staffed by some 30 flight nurses and medical technicians from t h e discontinued 32nd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron stationed at the Freeport Center in Clearfield, Utah. Major Command changes with the disbandment of the Continental Air Command, 1 August 1968 and assumption of those duties by the Air Force Reserve resulted in later changes being accom~ l i s h e d .O n 8 June 1969 the 69th Aeromedical Evacuation Flight, formerly assigned to the 6th Air Force Reserve Region, was reassigned to the 945th. Eleven days later, the 945th Civil Engineering Flight, another unit of the 945th hlilitary Airlift Group, was constituted and assigned to the Air Force Reserve for activation on or about 18 October 1969. Upon mobilization the group would
be released from the AFRES for active service with the Military Airlift Command. Computerization of a personnel system caused the Air Defense Command (ADCi to establish Detachment 6, 28th Air Division at Hill AFB, on 1 June 1964. It performed personnel functions for the tenant 4677th Defense Systems Evaluation Squadron. The outfit would eventually become part of the Hill AFB Personnel Ofice when the system was completed. Cancellation of the mobile Minuteman missile concept led to the discontinuance of the Strategic Air Command's 4062nd Strategic Wing a t Hill on 20 February 1962. On 2 August 1965the Sheppard Technical Training Center of the Air Training Command (ATC) designated and organized Field Training Detachment (FTD) 5335 at Hill AFB; it was further assigned to the 3741st Field Training Squadron of the 3750th Technical School, Sheppard AFB, Texas. The Mobile Training Detachment 603s a t Hill AFB was discontinued on the same day. On 15 May 1963, HQ AFLC moved Detachment 1 of the Sacramento Air Materiel Area (SMAMA) from the Naval Supply Depot, Clearfield, Utah, to Hill AFB. On 1J u n e 1963, it renamed the unit Detachment 1, Western Mobile Depot Activity? and still later, on 1 September 1963,HQ AFLC relocated the organization to Spokane, Washington. Air Force Systems Comand meanwhile had activated Detachment 2, 6594th Aerospace Test Wing a t Hill AFB and Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field on 1October 1962.

The 405th Combat Logistics Support Squadron was constituted by HQ USAF and assigned to HQ Air Force Reserve for activation a t Hill on 10 October 1978. It was further assigned to the Air Force Reserve, 508th TFG. Prior to this, on 1 October 1977, the 508th had lost three squadrons - the 7th Supply S q ~ a d r s n ,M oSIk; the '7th Xjiaiuienance Squadron, Mobile; and the 5th Augmentation Squadron, Wendover Auxiliary Field. Earlier, on 1July 1972, the 66th Aeromedical Evacuation Flight was reassigned from the 945th Military Airlift Group to the Western Air Force Reserve Region (AFRR). I t was later inactivated on 31 January 1973. Another tenant, the 449th Medical Service Flight of the Western AFRR, was also inactivated effective 3 January 1973. Two Aerial Port Squadrons, the 67th and 68th, belonging to the Western AFRR, were reorganized on 1 July 1973. They were manned with 103 enlisted reserves and three officers. Then, on 8 August 1973, these two Hill AFB tenants were reassigned from the Western AFRR to the 446th Military Airlift Wing (Associate). On 1 September 1975, HQ AFRES inactivated Operating Location B of the 62nd Aerial Port Squadron (APSI, which was the MAC advisory group to the 67th and 68th Aerial Port Squadrons. Concurrently, Operating Location T of the 1702nd Mobility Support Squadron was activated and located a t Hill AFB. Personnel from the 62nd APS remained in place to man the new organization. On 30 April 1973, the Air Force Systems Command discontinued the Ogden Air Force Plant Representative Office.The remaining portion, the Management Support Division, was made a part of the newly named Thiokol Air Force Plant Repre-
sentative Office (AFPRO), located in Brigham City, Utah. The same day, operating Location AA of Detachment 9. HQ Air Force Contract Management Division, AFSC, was activated a t Hill. Meanwhile, there were some changes in Hill off-base facility responsibilities. On 28 Februar , l u is, nq us& inactivated HQ ContirieiiETerations Range (COR) Groups a t Hill, Neilis, a Kirtland AFBs. Concurrently, the HQ Tacti Fighter Weapons Center Range USAF Tactical Fighter Weapons Cen vated and located a t Nellis AFB a Tactical Fighter Weapons Center were established a t Hill and Kirtland AFBs. In line with a HQ USAF decision to discontinue the Continental Operations Range implementation, the Directorate of Operationshtange Management Office became a branch under the 2849th ABG Operations and Training Division effective 6 May 1975. Later, on 23 September 1975, the Range Management function was transferred to the Ogden ALC commander's staff, as approved by HQ USAF. On 1January 1979, the management of the Hill! WendoverIDugway Range complex was transferred from AFLC to AFSC. With that change, the range was renamed the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). The OO-ALC Range Management Office personnel and the organization were reassigned to AFSC and further assigned to the 6501st Range Squadron of the 6545th Test Group a t Hill. Other off-base organizational changes included turning over most of the Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field to Wendover City on 16 August 1977. This involved transferring 1,853of the 2,017 acres to the city and the retention of only 164 acres used

tion with nearby Hill Air Force Base tenant units and
large exercises at the base. reserve forces held a series of -- - ---The climax of these activities commenced on 14 July 1954
when the units began a six-week exercise known as "Operation
Sandstorm" to practice operational techniques in rocketry,
bombing, gunnery, armed reconnaissance, maximum-range and
low-level navigation, transition and formation flying, and
high altitude bombing. The success of these activities
prompted Headquarters TAC to express an interest in using
Wendover as a gunnery and mobility staging area. As a
result, the Air Force reactivated the base and placed it
under the jurisdiction of TAC1s Ninth Air Force on 1 October
1954. Workers renovated 6nd reopened old buildings,
extended runways, anti zonstructed new targets and bombing
ranges. 32
In spite of these activities Wendover never became an
important TAC base, in part because of its far distance from
aerial defense sites on the nation's coasts. In 1956,
Wendover had only 331 permanent employees and by the next
year, the number had decreased to less than 300. Numbers
swelled during the summers when Headquarters TAC conducted
training exercises at the base, but these were insufficient
to justify the expense of operation. Effective 1 January
1958, Headquarters TAC deactivated Wendover and transferred
its management back to the Ogden AMA, this organization pro-
viding caretaking services. Although the Utah National
Guard and various Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard
units still used the base for summer encampments and other
training activities, the principal activities conducted , there were on the bombing and gunnery ranges. Byron
Dussler, who had served at Wendover during world War 11,
visited there during this period and recorded his
impressions. "The place was abandoned except for a detach-

ment of military police and a few civilians working on the

runways," he wrote. "The marks of wind, sun, sand, rain,
the heat of summers and the cold of winters showed how
perishable all things are by the elements. Sage brush and wild sun flowers had crept in, no longer disturbed by
tramping feet " 3 3
...
Throughout the bulk of the 1960s and 1970s the base has
been without a mission. During the first years of the
1960s, the Air Force used the Wendover range as a location
for the testing of its experimental rocket plane, the X-15.
Reserve organizations still held summer exercises at the
base, but these activities were temporary and did not bring
about significant increases in operations. As a result, the
Federal Government sought to dispose of the base's facili-
ties, keeping only bombing and gunnery ranges and the radar
sites. The General Services Administration, charged with
the responsibility for disposing of excess resources at
Wendover, sold most of the buildings and dismantled the
site's other assets. By 1962, only 128 of the original 668
buildings remained.34
During the 1960s, the city of Wendover tried to
influence commercial firms, particularly Utah's missile
manufacturers, to locate at Wendover and use the base's
facilities, but these efforts proved unsuccessful. During
the latter part elf the decade, Utah politicians sought to gain the appointment of Wendover and the surrounding salt
desert as a site for a NASA spaceport to be used in connec-
tion with the space shuttle program. They made a forceful
case contending that Wendover alone possessed the necessary
---e-;.enseo-&-lad--seeded for the project; that it was close to other important installations with a space mission,
such as Edwards Air Force Base, California; and that Utah
Wendover Field
possessed the necessary missile technology to support efficiently Wendover as a spaceport. These - efforts came to nothing, however, for in April 1972 the government, in a decision motivated by a limited budget, chose sites in Florida and California that had been used in the space program for years. 35
While this decision unnerved Utah leaders, they con-

tinued to search for a useful function for what remained of
the Wendover facilities. Not long after the defeat of the
spaceport concept, Wendover city officials proposed that the
base's runway serve as an alternate landing site whenever
the Salt Lake City International Airport was closed because
of adverse weather conditions. This idea was also never
adopted. By the end of 1972, the only active part of what
had been Wendover Field was the range complex, and, as a
result, in late 1972 the service declared the base surplus
and ordered its final di~~osal.36
Since the Federal Government sought to relinquish the
remaining facilities at Wendover, the town worked to
acquire the installation. On 9 July 1976 the water system
and its annexes were transferred to the city. The next
year, on 15 August 1977, the General Services Administra-
tion deeded the runways, taxiways, hangars, the old hospital
complex, and several warehouses to the town of Wendover.
The Air Force retained only about 86 acres of the old can-
tonment area northwest of the flightline, approximately 164
acres on the west side of the base where a radar site was
located, and the expansive desert bombing and gunnery range.
In 1980 the General Services Administration disposed of the
86 acres in the old cantonment area. The range, of course,
continues as an integral part of the United States Air
Force's developmental test and bombing and gunnery training
programs.37

The nation's missile program eventually moved to White Sands, New Mexico and Wendover was transferred to the Strategic Air Command in March 1947. It was renamed Wendover Air Force Base in 1947 and was utilized by bombardment groups for training purposes until its deactivation on October 1, 1949. Tactical Alr Command reactivated the base in 1954, renovated several of the aging facilities and used the base over the next four years for tactical training exercises. The base was transferred to the command of Ogden Air Materiel in 1958 and renamed Wendover
i r Force Reserve fighter and bombex units used it for occasional Air Force Auxiliary Field. A
gunnery training over the next ten years. The range was renamed Hill Air Force Range in 1960. By 1962 most of the buildings had been sold as surplus and removed from the base and only 128 of the originaI 668 buildings remained (WA-106). The Base was permanently inactivated in January 1969 and was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in July 1975. The Field was declared surplus in 1976 and on June 6 it was transferred to the City of Wendover, Utah as a municipal airport. The City renamed it Decker Field and it has been used since primarily by civilian flyers. The City has leased parts of the old base to the military for training. The 4440'~ Tactical Fighter Training Group out of Nellis AFB, Nevada, used Wendover occasionally from 1980 to 1986 for training exercises FA-55). The City of Wendover transferred ownership of the airfield to Tooele County in the late 1990s. It still serves as small municipal airport used mostly by private civilian flyers. Restoration has begun o n several of the historic buildings at Wendover including hangers, squadron alert buildmgs, the fire station, the operations headquarters, and the officers club. In August 2001 the 50'JthComposite
final reunion at Group, the most famous of the groups to train at the base, held its ~ 6and ' ~
Wendover. A vintage B-29 and a classic B-24 bomber, like those that had flown in and out o f Wendover nearly sixty years before came to pay tribute to the members of this famous unit. For a short time Wendover AFAF looked much h e it must have looked during those hectic days in

Thematic Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) map files completed in association with this Archives Search Report are based on historic cartographic, aerial and site visit data collected during this investigation. The thematic maps were created using Intergraphs Microstation. The thematic maps were created by scanning and warping selected historic data to reference points collected from non-stable selected base maps such as U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute, quadrangle sheets or National Imaging and Mapping Agency (NIMA) maps. The horizontal scale and horizontal datum of the base maps is generally known. In this case the datum used was 1927 North Atlantic Datum/World Geodetic System (WGS) 1984. Attempts have been made to rectify the data to the referenced base maps. However, distortions in scale and contortions of the features are present. These distortions are a result of inaccuracies in the source data, as well as the processes of scanning and rectifying the data. Much of the data on the maps lack sufficient information to support a determination of accuracy. Many of the historic maps used were hand-drawn or built on locations that were inaccurate by modern standards. In general, historic map inaccuracies are unknown and not quantifiable. The unknown inaccuracies may then be magnified by the georeferencing process. Therefore, thematic maps generated from historic maps and drawings will have accuracy no greater than the least accurate source. The historical aerial photography has been semi-rectified (georeferenced) to the base map; however, the photos have not been corrected for photogrammetric displacements such as those due to topography or the altitude of the aircraft at the time of imaging. They are not orthorectified images. Locations of features noted on aerial photography are not exact due to the rectifying of both the image and the base map. The horizontal and vertical locations of selected features noted in the ASR and located on the thematic maps have been established utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. These coordinates were acquired using the Federal Version PLGR96+ GPS receiver. Features located utilizing GPS techniques are so noted in the ASR. The
Report Plates Page 1 - Plates
PLGR+96 uses the Precise Positioning Service (16 m SEP) and Wide Area GPS Enhancement (WAGE) 4 m CEP. The lineage and source of the historic data used to generate the thematic maps is unknown. The majority of Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Metadata fields are therefore unknown. A metadata file that gives all available pertinent information has been provided with this product. The statements above are inclusive of all available information regarding the historic data sources and the thematic maps generated. The thematic maps are not original digital mapping data; are scanned and warped data with selected unique feature annotation. The intended purpose of the mapping data is for photo-interpretation and not design. The vector data and associated symbology is unique to the intended purpose. The majority of the digitized features are not part of the current Tri-Service CADD Standards list of features and associated line types and symbology (ie. range fans, pits, disturbed land). The mapping data produced does comply with applicable Tri-Service Standards.

INFORMATION
D O S
Draft INPR of Wendover Air Force Auxiliary Field
of Wendover. It was sent to SPD for review and then sent back to us here at the Sacramento District for some changes. One important change is the Site Number. It is being changed from J09UT100180 to J08UT100100. There are other changes within the INPR but I do not think they will play an important role in the information you are seeking. Also, there is more information here at the office that I cannot send to you at this time for it will take too long to do the copying. There is also a book printed called THE HISTORY OF HILL AIR FORCE BASE that has information in it concerning Wendover. Time just does not permit me to go through it right now. If I can get a summer hire or someone who needs some work to copy the information, I will do that. Otherwise, you may have to take another trip! Remember, this is just a DRAFT. I will send you a final copy when we get a signed Findings and Determination of ~ligibility (FDE) for the site.
REMARKS: Gerry, here is the INPR

Dear Mr. Vincent: In applying for the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection's (NDEP) two year grant to support the State's activities under the Defense and State Memoranda of Agreement (DSMOA)/Cooperative Agreement (CA), it is required that NDEP provide Defense Environmental Restoration Account (DERA) expenditure projections for all facilities under the Department of Defense (DOD) jurisdiction. Based on the Wendover FUDS 2 year Work Plan (July 1,2004 - June 30,2004), the next two-year grant period costs for NDEP oversight are estimated to be $44,559.00. Enclosed is a signed copy of the Appendix E and F for your records. If you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact me at (775) 687-9393. Sincerely,
