using avoidance techniques; intrusive activities and sampling will not be performed. The site
survey will cease once the presence of OE is confirmed. The extent of OE contamination will
not be determined during the site survey.
(2) The site survey team should identify the use of the property at present and attempt to
locate evidence of previous ordnance use in the area. A Global Positioning System locator may
be used to identify coordinates of areas identified by the site survey team. Magnetometers or
other ordnance detectors may be used only for safety purposes by the OE Safety Specialist to
reduce any possible threat of unseen ordnance hazards. The magnetometer or other ordnance
detector should not be used as the sole safety precaution while walking in dense brush or heavy
vegetation, which prevents seeing the ground and possible exposed ordnance. Areas that
cannot be safely accessed should not be entered.
(3) If OE is found at a site which may present an imminent danger to the public,
USAESCH must be contacted by phone as soon as possible to discuss interim actions.
USAESCH may ask that local law enforcement officials be contacted in order to secure the site
and that the local EOD unit be contacted. USAESCH will then coordinate with EOD and may
provide an OE Safety Specialist to assess the risks and recommend a course of action.
d. Risk Assessment. The additional information collected during the SI is used to
reevaluate the risk assessment performed during the PAE and subsequently reevaluate what
further action, if any, is necessary at a site. The risk assessment will be performed using the
RAC Worksheet included in Appendix B. Risk assessments must be performed by personnel
experienced in evaluating explosive safety risks. Details regarding the risk assessment and
RAC worksheet are presented in Chapter 6.
7-3. Archives Search Report.
a. The results of the SI are documented in the ASR. Archives Assessment Sheets will be
completed in conjunction with the ASR, but are forwarded to the OE MCX under separate
cover.
b. ASR Format. The format of the ASR is dependent on whether further action is
recommended for the site.
(1) Recommendation of Further Action. If further action is recommended for a site, the
ASR will be a two-volume document following the outline shown in Table 7.1. Appendix C
contains a more detailed outline of the contents of each volume.
(2) Recommendation of No DOD Action Indicated (NDAI). If NDAI is recommended for
a site, the ASR will follow the same general outline as shown in Table 7.1 but will not include
Section 8, "Site Ordnance and Technical Data". The ASR will be formatted in such a manner
that the recommendations and conclusions may be easily separated from the rest of the report.
