PRA Conclusions Recommendations
ConclusionsOver 40 areas potentially containing MEC were identifiedHigh explosive risk areas include the LIA, OB/OD areasModerate explosive safety risk at artillery gun positions in SIA and EMA; rifle grenade range (Range 3), grenade-launcher rang (Range 4) and hand grenade rang (Range 5)Low explosive risk at small arms ranges, Red Beach, Blue Beach
RecommendationsRestrict access to moderate-high risk sites by installing fencing, gates and road barriersConduct further investigations to characterize and delineate extent of MEC contaminationPrioritize MEC sites based on explosive safety hazards
