AOC E – Offshore Islands Pineros and Cabeza de Perro

AOC E consists of Pineros and Cabeza de Perro islands.  Historical records reviews indicate that these islands have been used for military training and maneuvering exercises since the late 1950s.  Training exercises are reported to have included Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) demolition training, and maneuvering exercises have included the use of pyrotechnic devices, training grenades, claymore mines, and various types of small arms munitions.  The site investigation identified spent small arms munitions and flares, but no potential munitions or explosives of concern (MEC).  The proposed RCRA 7003 Administrative Order on Consent recommends a Phase I RFI for AOC E.
