Preliminary Design Study for Munitions Response Underwater Test Site

Abstract

This report describes a preliminary study conducted by Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNNL) at its Marine Sciences Laboratory (MSL) on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. The objective was to acquire information to further inform the design of a final test site for evaluating unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection technologies and equipment for the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP).The technical approach for the preliminary study consisted of three tasks: 1) obtain knowledge about typical UXO sites and their substrates, 2) characterize Sequim Bay and locate areas of substrates similar to those described at typical UXO sites, and 3) propose test areas in Sequim Bay that could be used in a final test site design.
